Patent EP-0827758-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MATHIEU JULIEN C
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: A moldless method for commercially producing
intravenous catheters which are formed with
geometrically identical catheter bevels. The method
comprises positioning an unbeveled catheter mounted on
a central cylindrical support between first and second
bevel profile blades. Each bevel profile blade has a
blade surface in the shape of bevels to be imparted to
the surface of the catheter, including a relatively
steep bevel angle blade surface at the distal end of
the catheter, which is the end to be inserted into a
patient, and an adjacent relatively shallow bevel
angle blade surface. The blade surfaces of the first
and second bevel profile blades are positioned on
opposite sides of the unbeveled catheter along a first
axis. The first and second bevel profile blades are
heated, and are translated in opposite directions
towards the unbeveled catheter along a second axis
which is substantially perpendicular to the first
axis. During this operation, the translating blades
squeeze and rotate the unbeveled catheter therebetween
to pinch off and shape the catheter with the beveled
surfaces defined by the bevel profile blades. The
first and second bevel profile blades are then
retracted from the beveled catheter, and the finished
beveled catheter is removed from the beveling station.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gas sensor comprising a first internal
space (20) for making communication with the external space
via a first diffusion rate-determining section (14), a first
electrochemical pumping cell (30) for controlling the oxygen
concentration in the atmosphere in the first internal space
(20) to have a predetermined value, a second internal space
(22) for making communication with the first internal space
(20) via a second diffusion rate-determining section (16), a
second electrochemical pumping cell (44) for finely
adjusting the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere in the
second internal space (22) to have a predetermined value, a
third internal space (24) for making communication with the
second internal space (22) via a third diffusion rate-determining
section, a third electrochemical pumping cell
(58) for pumping out oxygen produced by reduction or
decomposition of a component having bound oxygen in the
measurement gas in the third internal space (24), and an
ammeter Ip for detecting a pumping current which is allowed
to flow in accordance with the pumping operation effected by
the third electrochemical pumping cell (58). Accordingly,
it is possible to avoid interference exerted on the
sensitivity for NO by the change in oxygen concentration in
exhaust gas, and improve the measurement accuracy for the
measurement gas component.

Abstract: Les composants produisant des radicaux NH2 indépendants de la composition génératrice de gaz, réduisent la toxicité des effluents gazeux produits par la combustion de compositions produisant des gaz non azide et servant à gonfler les système de retenue des occupants de véhicules. Par la mise en réaction sélective du radical NH2 avec le NO dans le gaz de combustion, il se forme du N2, ce qui y réduit la concentration d'oxydes d'azote toxiques. En disposant les composés réducteurs à proximité du lit générateur de gaz, on assure un contact intime avec les gaz de combustion tout en permettant la mise en oeuvre d'un processus non invasif de réduction de gaz toxiques.

Abstract: A method of determining a combination of coins to
be dispensed as change comprises determining a
plurality of different possible combinations and
selecting the most favourable one. For combinations
which in sum are equal to the same amount, the most
favourable combination is the one determined to leave
the greatest number of coins available for change
according to a predetermined criterion which takes
into account the number of currently-available coins
of at least one denomination. If two combinations are
evaluated to be the same so far as change availability
is concerned, the combination which comprises the
least number of coins is selected.

Abstract: A method for determining the halogen toxicity level in a sample
containing halogenated compounds, especially halogen-containing rubbers,
utilizes a polychromatic ion source of a mass spectrometer for ionizing a reagent
gas capable of producing thermal electrons. The thermal electrons are captured
with a halogen-containing compound to form halogen atomic anions or halogen
atomic cluster anions. The halogen-containing compound has been passed
through a gas chromatograph prior to said capturing of thermal electrons. A
mass spectrogram is obtained following said capturing of electrons. The halogen
atomic anions or halogen atomic cluster anions are speciated and quantified
using a mass chromatogram produced from the combination of said gas
chromatography and said mass spectrometer.

Abstract: A repeater provides an efficient interconnection of an IEEE 802.3 10 Mb/s
network with an IEEE 802.3 100 Mb/s network using minimal buffering. The
repeater includes a filter that selectively outputs a data packet, received from the
100 Mb/s network, to the 10 Mb/s network based on the destination address in the
received data packet. Specifically, the filter passes all data packets in the 10 Mb/s
domain to the 100 Mb/s domain. The filter selectively passes the data packet from
the 100 Mb/s domain to the 10 Mb/s domain by determining if the received data
packet includes a destination address value that specifies transmission of the data
packet to the 10 Mb/s network. If the destination address value does not specify
a multicast value or an address of a network node in the 10 Mb/s network, the
filter discards the data packet.

Abstract: An interactive computer configuration system is an aid for a sales person or a customer to make it easy to grasp and configure a huge configuration problem. The user interacts with the computer system and makes many choices successively, and a configuration engine checks each choice for validity. The configuration engine comprises a configuration model defining mutual predefined relations between the selectable elements and comprises programs for validating a set of choices against said configuration model. The invention relates to the situation where a requested choice made by the user corresponds to an invalid configuration instance. According to the invention, the user is allowed to insist on this choice and an alternative investigation system according to the invention will present to the user a number of relevant proposals for undoing choices made previously so that a valid configuration instance can be obtained. According to the invention only relevant proposals are presented to the user and further in the most expedient way, seen from a customer's point of view. According to the invention the lowest possible number of choices to be undone is first presented to the user. Yet, a further aspect of the invention allows the user, during the alternative investigation process, to make previous choices cardinal choices, whereby the relevance of the proposals for obtaining alternatives will be further enhanced.
