Patent EP-0491460-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PERLMAN MAIER
IPC: F24H1/18
Filed: 1991-10-22
Abstract: A fluid tempering system for use with a standard storage tank (1) with a water heater (2,3) includes heat exchanger (15) which is interposed between the outlet means (12) for conveying heated fluid from the storage tank (1) to a distribution system (14) and the cold fluid inlet means (10), so that heat energy is transferred between heated fluid exiting and cold water entering the storage tank (1). Preferably, the heat exchange is complete and water exiting the heat exchanger (15) in both the inlet and outlet conduits (11,13) are of about equal temperature. In order to avoid the water exiting from the water heater (2,3) to the distribution system (14) becoming too tepid, a bypass conduit (21,21') located in either the inlet means (10) or in the outlet means (12) is opened by a thermostat (20) located in the outlet conduit (13). As a safety feature, a safety shut-off valve (25) is located in the outlet conduit (13) before the distribution system (14) to automatically shut-off the conduit (13) where water exiting the system is above a desired maximum temperature. In this system, the water in the water storage tank (1) may be kept at scalding temperatures since it will be tempered on leaving the storage tank (1) before entering the water distribution system (14) to avoid scalding the user.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for extruding molten polymeric material such as polypropylene, polyester and nylon into filaments. The molten polymeric material is supplied by any suitable source to a pair of channels (18) provided in the distribution plates (48) forming part of the pack (12). The pair of channels extend in a semicircular path, then turn radially inwardly towards the center of the distribution plate. From that point, they travel approximately 90 degrees to the 90 and 270 degree quadrants where they split into four channels that are in turn connected to feeder channels that feed the molten material to circumferentially spaced holes provided in the distribution plate. 
     Such paths of travel for the molten material creates uniform heating and pressure within the distribution plates by providing substantially equal length paths of travel of the molten polymeric material to each of the holes in the distribution plate. The molten material then passes through a circular spinneret (24) which has a plurality of holes or capillaries therein through which the filaments (22) are extruded. The extruded filaments are quenched as they pass through the spinneret by three streams of air which are directed upwardly towards the exit hole of the spinneret at obtuse angles to the filaments being extruded.

Abstract: The drill guide 16 for drill 28 is to be aligned with a transverse hole 26 in a femoral nail 21 located within a bone 12 so that when drilling holes in the bone the drill will pass cleanly through the hole 26. A coil 36 mounted within the nail 21 generates an alternating magnetic field along the axis of the hole 26. Two sensor discs 46 & 47 are axially spaced along the guide 16 and each carries four angularly spaced sensing coils 51-54 and 61-64 to determine when the centre of the disc 46 or 47 is in alignment with the axial magnetic field. Display units 81 and 82 show by means of LEDs 86-89 and 94-97 when there is any deviation from the required alignment, allowing the guide tube 41 to be correctly aligned for drilling.
