Title: Hollow fibre oxygenator element
Inventor: MATHER FRANK WATKINS III
IPC: A61M1/18
Filed: 1983-02-04
Granted: 1987-09-24
Abstract: A hollow fibre oxygenator, assembly containing same, and method for making same wherein a hollow fibre oxygenator element (60) utilizes gas permeable hollow fibres (62) to transfer oxygen into and carbon dioxide from blood flowing around the outside of the fibres (62) while oxygen flows througn the fibre lumens. The hollow fibres (62) are arranged in tapes (70) wound helically in layers around a hollow cylindrical core (40). The fibres (62) in each tape (70) angularly cross the fibres (62) in the radially adjacent tape (70), are spaced axially from each other, and are substantially equally spaced radially from the periphery of the core (40) such that the crossing fibres (62) in the radially adjacent layers (70) form small interconnected gaps that permit thin-film radial blood flow with a low blood phase pressure drop and efficient gas transfer. The oxygenator element (60) is sealed into a shell (12) to form spaced apart oxygen header chamber (48,53) at opposite ends of the core (40) that are sealed from an annular blood chamber (18) surrounding the oxygenator element (60). The shell (12) is provided with inlet and outlet ports (64) for supplying oxygen to one header chamber, through the hollow fibre lumens, and out of the opposite chamber while blood supplied to the core (40) permeates radially outwardly around the hollow fibres (62) and through the layers (70) to the surrounding annular blood chamber (18) as purified and oxygenated blood. The oxygenator (60) is integrated into a single unit assembly having a top blood reservoir (24) attached to a blood heater (26) that is attached to the blood oxygenator (60) in vertical array.

Title: Decorative outdoor fabrics
Inventor: SWERS DAVID N
IPC: D02G3/40
Filed: 1999-12-16
Granted: 2003-05-29
Abstract: A decorative outdoor fabric including a woven structure formed of acrylic warp yarns and at least some of the fill yarns comprising self-coating yarns formed of high melt and low melt yarn constituents. When the fabric is tentered, the low melt constituents melt and cross-flow to the other fibers in the fill and warp yarns.

Title: Decoding apparatus
Inventor: KONDO TETSUJIRO
IPC: H04N19/00
Filed: 1989-02-01
Granted: 1992-02-20
Abstract: A decoding apparatus decodes data, such as a digital video signal or the like transmitted from a coding (transmission) apparatus for coding an original datum with a less number of bits than that of the original datum. Adjacent sample data of a sample datum to be decoded are separated from the transmitted data. These data are compared with the sample datum to be decoded and the correcting datum is generated based on the compared output. The original datum is recovered from the sample datum to be decoded and the correcting datum, thereby the quantizing error or distortion can be reduced without increasing the encoding data amount.

Title: Ferrule with relief to reduce galling
Inventor: WILLIAMS PETER C
IPC: F16L19/10
Filed: 1998-04-14
Granted: 2001-09-13
Abstract: A recess (40) is located generally midway between the opposite ends of a ferrule (22' and this results in the inner surface of the rear ferrule being reduced to two relatively narrow contact areas (42,44). The forces are conducted from the front ferrule through the rear ferrule to a nut surface or flange (32' which tend to be directed more radially outward. The outer radial wall (50) of the rear ferrule includes a conical section that increases in radial dimension as it extends from the forward nose portion, that is received in the rear chamfer region (52) of the front ferrule, to the rear flange (26'). Preferably, the outer wall has a uniform angle or taper as it extends between the reduced dimension nose region received in the camming mouth of the front ferrule and the enlarged diameter rear flange. This provides controlled deformation of the rear ferrule so that the region is plastically deformed radially inward along surface (44) into gripping, scaled engagement with the outer wall of the tube. The rear ferrule in which the recess (40) is defined by two different angles (an obtuse triangle). The smaller first angle is defined with the inner surface which increases as it extends rearwardly from the surface toward the rear flange. The larger second angle increases as it extends forwardly from the surface (42) toward the nose region. These angles thus intersect at an axial position that is located beneath the intersection of the outer wall with the rear flange.
