Abstract: Balloon loaded dissection devices with elongate balloons and a pushing member are disclosed for creating a tunnel alongside an elongate vessel in the body. The devices may utilize an elongate balloon (16) of any suitable length which may be formed of an elastic or non-elastic material. The balloon (16) may be of double walled construction and may be provided with a central lumen (17) which may receive a guide rod (20), scope (29) or other surgical instrument. The device may have a support tube (22) secured to the inner wall of the balloon (16) to provide columnar support for the apparatus. The support tube (22) receives the guide rod (20), scope (29) or other surgical instrument and may have a stop member (23) to translate pushing force applied to the guide rod (20) or scope (29) to pushing force on the apparatus. By using the guide rod or scope as a pushing member the apparatus may be advanced alongside the vessel it is desired to dissect free from attached tissue. A balloon cover (27) which may be elastic or resilient is provided to surround the balloon and facilitate compression of the balloon (16) after it is deflated. <IMAGE>

Date Jun. 19, 1997The invention relates to a process for the in vitro diagnosis of allergic, in particular also pseudo-allergic, immunological and environment-related disorders using live biopsy tissue samples. Also disclosed is a mobile incubation device for keeping the tissue samples alive and functioning. The samples can be, for example, skin or mucous membrane particles. The biopsy sample (14) once removed from the patient is placed in a temperature-controlled oxygen-containing incubating medium (16) and an allergen is introduced, triggering an immediate reaction (a so-called type 1 allergy). The secretion of immunoglobulin E (IgE) or a mediator is then determined qualitatively and/or quantitatively. Suitable mediators are histamine, tryptase, ECP, MPO, DAO, TPS, interleukins, prostaglandins or cytokines. The proposed mobile incubation device is provided with a temperature-controllable incubator for sample holders inside a housing. The sample containers can be filled with a nutrient solution. An oxygen-containing fluid is bubbled through feed ducts into the nutrient solution.

Abstract: The receiver has an input for amplitude sampled signals, and a non-linear amplifier. There is a low pass filter feedback circuit between the output of the amplifier and the input, for feedback of a low frequency component. The working point of the non-linear amplifier is shifted in the direction corresponding to a reduced amplification, when a signal, which is not an amplitude modulated signal, is received at the input. This action reduces the standing DC current supply demand by the receiver.

Date Oct. 23, 1997A cable plug connector (1) with at least one contact (3) fitted in a chamber of a contact carrier (2) and taking the form of a plug (8) which has an insulation displacement section (9) at its connection end (11) to contact an insulated cable lead (5) inserted into a blind hole (24) in the contact carrier (2) by means of an insulation displacement slot (16) fitted in a contact plate (14) running transversely to the plug-in direction, the insulation displacement section (9) is a separate part passing with the contact plate (14) through an aperture (20) in the connection end (11) of the plug (8). The contacts (3) are thus simply and economically suitable for the use of different lead diameters by exchanging the insulation displacement section (9). They are also usable with advantage especially in cable plug connectors (1) produced by injection molding because no special measures are needed to seal the plug contact regions. The invention is particularly suitable for practical manipulation to fit the contact plate (14) with snapping projections (19) which engage behind the lateral end sections of the aperture (20). This renders the insulation displacement section (9) captive through pre-snapping, further simplifies storage and assembly and makes it even cheaper. This advantage and even simpler production and assembly can also be obtained in a particularly suitable manner in that the insulation displacement section (9) has two guide arms (31) which, with bent end sections (32), preferably engage behind a cover section (41) which has through apertures (42) and U-shaped guides (25) for the insertion or guiding of the cable leads (5), and can be secured to the contact carrier.

Abstract: In order to validate a bet, a housing identifier and a validating datum representative of a reserve of available game units are stored in a file (MMP) of a main validating device (DVP). When the betting data are introduced by the player in the housing (BO), a restitution information containing these betting data as well as the housing identifier is constituted and this information is restored in sound form to a telephone station (PT). The corresponding telephone signal is then transmitted to a voice server (SV) which restores the data introduced by the player in decrypted form. The game units corresponding to the betting data received are then compared with the reserve of game units, for validating or not validating the bet. Thus there is no transmission of any indication concerning an effective payment for the bet by the telephone line between the housing (BO) and the voice server (SV).

Abstract: The apparatus has an illuminating device for illuminating sheet material with clocked excitation light. Both during the light phase of clocked excitation light and during the dark phase of clocked excitation light a sensor detects an intensity of the light emitted by the sheet material in each case. In an evaluation device an intensity of fluorescently emitted light and an intensity of phosphorescently emitted light are derived from the intensities detected in the light phase and in the dark phase of clocked excitation light. In order to ensure long preillumination with high intensity, the sensor preferably detects the intensities of emitted light within, and toward the end (in the transport direction) of, the area of the sheet material illuminated by the illuminating device. Additionally the illuminated area of the sheet material is selected to be so great that it is a multiple of the desired resolution.
