Patent EP-0304431-B1 (EP)
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 1987-05-13
Granted: 1993-06-16
Abstract: The method comprises withdrawal of a quantity of blood from a blood donor to an annular primary container (2) forming part of a closed flexible processing assembly positioned in a processing space provided in a centrifuge rotor and conformed to the processing assembly. During the withdrawal, the rotor is caused to perform an oscillating movement for agitating the blood whereupon the blood is centrifuged in the primary container to be separated into blood cells and plasma. While the centrifugation is going on the primary container is then compressed to expel the plasma fraction to a secondary container (3) positioned in the central region of the annular primary container. Liquid diluent is then fed to the primary container to resuspend the blood cell fraction while agitation is again accomplished by oscillating the rotor, whereupon the blood cell fraction is returned to the blood donor. The apparatus is a closed flexible processing assembly for use in carrying out the method according to the invention and comprises an annular primary container (2), a secondary container (3) positioned in the central region of the annular primary container, a collapsible connecting duct (7) connecting the portion of the primary container closest to the centre of rotation with the secondary container, and a flexible tube (4) connected to the primary container.

Title: Cylindrical permanent magnet with longitudinal induced field
IPC: A61B5/055
Filed: 1987-10-13
Granted: 1992-05-06
Abstract: A cylindrical permanent magnet with longitudinal induced field may be achieved by creating on either side of a zone of interest two annular structures (1, 2) magnetized (M) on the one hand radially with respect to the cylinder axis and on the other hand antisymetrically with respect to the zone of interest. The annular structures may be achieved by arrangements of blocks on polygonal contours. In order to optimize fabrication, by limiting the number of blocks to be built in each ring and a number of rings in each structure to achieve a given homogeneity, the number of blocks in each ring must be higher or equal to four times the number of rings in each structure. Said magnet applies particularly to the field of imaging by nuclear magnetic resonance wherein the control logistics had originally been designed for longitudinal induction fields.

Abstract: A method for connecting a computer (1, 2, 3) in a multicomputer system is specified which makes it unnecessary to interrupt the controlled process for this purpose. The computers of the system are only separated from the process during the time of the updating of the computer to be connected, a very short period of time which is tolerable in most processes. All method steps required for checking and saving the data transmitted during the updating and of the connections and interfaces used for the data transmission take place during the operation, outside the updating period.

Abstract: In a roll crusher of the type wherein an object to be crushed is fed into a crushing chamber defined between a pair of rollers facing each other and is compressed and crushed between these rollers, a flange (12) is formed at both ends of either one of the rollers (3) in such a manner as to cover the lower parts of both end openings of the crushing chamber, and the remaining portions of the both end openings of the crushing chamber are covered with a holding member (11) disposed fixedly. This structure can prevent the object from overflowing from the crushing chamber. If one of the pair of rollers is used as a driving roller with the other being permitted to rotate freely and the two are rotated at low speed at an initial stage, even coarse particles can be forcibly entrapped and crushed. Crushing capacity of the roll crusher can be improved remarkably by setting the crushing gap between the rollers to 0.6 to 2.4 times a particle size that permits 80% of an object to pass and by controlling feed quantity so that the quantity of the passing object is within the range of 0.5 to 0.8 times the theoretical capacity of the crusher.

Title: Device for harvesting field crops, in particular beets
IPC: A01D27/04
Filed: 1989-10-11
Granted: 1993-01-20
Abstract: In hitherto known beet-harvesting machines, sensors which sense the ground serve for the depth control of the digging unit. A disadvantage of these is the relatively high sensitivity, since incorrect signals for raising the digging share are obtained even in the event of insignificant clods or accumulations of weeds. According to the invention, for the depth control of the digging share (30) of the digging unit (28) there are feeler wheels (48) which are mounted on a common shaft (50) and which are vertically adjustable in relation to the digging unit (28). The digging unit (28) can itself be adjusted vertically and horizontally relative to the leaf-cutting unit (24), since it is suspended on the chassis of the device so as to be angularly movable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel inhibitor of histamine release, designed HRIF which is believed to represent a promising therapeutic agent for treatment of basophil and mast cell dependent disorders, including allergic diseases. This inhibitor is a human cytokine that antagonizes a human histamine releasing cytokine(s) designated HRF. HRIF has a molecular weight of about 8,000 to 10,000 daltons as determined by gel exclusion chromatography and has also been purified by ion exchange chromatography. HRIF is stable when heated at 60 DEG C for one hour, when frozen and thawed four times, and when treated with neuraminidase. Treatment with trypsin or chymotrypsin substantially destroys the activity of HRIF. The present invention includes compositions comprising substantially purified HRIF as well as methods for HRIF production and use. The invention also includes HRIF-producing cell lines and methods for producing such cell lines.

Abstract: 2.1. Such circuit breakers are provided inside their insulating material housing with an extinguishing chamber which is divided into the actual arc extinguishing region, generally filled with an arc splitter stack, and into a funnel-shape antechamber space, located in front of said region, having the contact arrangement. The object of the invention is to design this antechamber space such that, when the switching arc runs off the contact point, it initially finds a particularly low flow resistance with improved arc guidance, and the overall structure of the extinguishing chamber is simplified. 2.2. Two webs (3d, 3e), projecting in the opening plane of the contact lever (5b) which can be pivoted, are integrally formed on the inner side surfaces (3a) in the antechamber space (3c), which webs are arranged running closely from the contact arrangement (5) along arc running rails (5a', 6, 7) to the arc splitter stack (4). In addition, a plurality of columns (3f), rising from the base of the side surfaces (3a), are arranged distributed approximately evenly between the webs (3d, 3e), which columns, in conjunction with the webs (3d, 3e), result in close lateral guidance of the switching arc (9). The gas pressure produced in front of the wandering arc (9') can be relieved in the flow channels (8) between the columns (3f). 2.3. The design according to the invention of the antechamber space is intended especially for the extinguishing chamber of automatic cut- outs of narrow design. <IMAGE>
