Abstract: A surgical eye cover for ophthalmological operations consists of a first plastic film (10) having a window (11) whose upper edge (18) is adjacent to the upper eyelid and whose lower contour edge (19) is adjacent to the lower eyelid, and of a second plastic film which covers the window (11) on its top side. The second plastic film is made up of two cover flaps (16, 17), of which the fist cover flap (16) in the area of the upper edge (18) of window (11) and the second cover flap (17) in the area of the lower edge (19) of window (11) are attached and are arranged approximately parallel to each other and, with their freely drapable parts (21, 22) overlap over the window (11) so that at least the inner and outer edges of the upper and lower lid can be covered over the entire length. Thus, complete covering of lids with eyelashes and stumps and the inner side of lids is possible.

Granted: 1993-07-21
Abstract: An apparatus (10) to remove rubber from airplane tires from an airport runway surface (28). There is a manifold arm (24) which rotates at as high as two thousand five hundred rpms over the runway surface (28), with a plurality of water jets (26) being discharged downwardly at a relatively high pressure (e.g. thirty five thousand P.S.I.) against the runway surface (28). Even though the water pressure as at a level several times higher than that at which damage to the runway surface (28) can occur, at the relatively high linear speed of the water jets (26) (e.g. ninety to one hundred eighty miles per hour), there is no noticeable damage to the runway surface (28), but yet there is quite effective removal of the accumulated rubber. Also disclosed is a particular shaft and seal assembly which is capable of operating at relatively high rotational speeds and delivering the high pressure to the manifold arm (24).

Date Nov. 1, 1990.The invention concerns a process for synthesizing 9,9-bis(hydroxyphenyl)fluorene by reacting fluorene with excess phenol using a liquid catalyst prepared by dissolving aluminum trichloride in an anhydrous organic solvent such as toluene evincing the property of an electron donor while hydrochloric-acid gas is being supplied. For the purpose of the synthesis, the fluorenone is dissolved for instance at 60 DEG  C. in the liquid phenol and then the liquid catalyst is dripped into the agitated reaction mixture at such a rate that the temperature of the reaction mixture is kept below 60 DEG  C. Following catalyst addition and subsequent after-reaction interval of several hours, the raw product is mixed with hot water and the excess phenol is removed by steam distillation. After signle-washing with water, the raw product is dissolved in hot acetone, allowed to crystallize, is filtered out and dried in vacuum. Lastly the raw product is recrystallized from 1,2-dichloroethane to form the pure product.

Date May 16, 1991.A surgical instrument in the form of, for example, a two mm needle has an open distal aspiration port for holding tissue to be fractured. An optical fiber extends along the length of the needle and has it's distal end positioned close to a metal target. Pulses of laser energy are discharged from the distal end of the optical fiber to strike the target. The target acts as a transducer converting the electromagnetic energy to shockwaves that are directed onto tissue in an operating zone adjacent to the aspiration port. The mechanical shockwaves cause the tissue to fracture and the tissue, together with the irrigating fluid is drawn out through an aspirating passageway. A flexible as the needle enhances access to various area where tissue is to be fractured.

Abstract: The OH group located in the 3' and/or 2' position of a nucleoside, nucleotide or oligonucleotide is derivatised to an amino or thiol group and subsequently a fluorescent dye is coupled thereto. The resulting 3'- and/or 2'-amino- and thiol-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides can then be used for the synthesis of items in the presence of a template strand or of oligonucleotides, and for the detection of genetic material. They offer the advantage that the fluorescent label is no longer attached to the 5' end of the oligonucleotide or to the nucleobase and thus does not have to be introduced during the chemical synthesis as in labelling techniques hitherto disclosed, while the known and conventional methods have the disadvantage that only some polymerases can be employed for the synthesis, the acceptance of the triphosphates by the polymerases falls and, in addition, a large substrate excess is necessary.

Abstract: Dans un procédé destiné à protéger les catalyseurs contre les échauffements, on détermine, au moyen d'un procédé classique de détection des ratés, s'il se produit des ratés dans un cylindre. Si tel est le cas, on s'efforce d'interrompre l'alimentation en carburant dans le cylindre concerné. Si l'on y parvient, les autres cylindres sont alimentés avec un mélange pauvre. Si l'on n'y parvient pas, on fait fonctionner tous les cylindres avec un mélange riche. En choisissant un mélange plus pauvre lorsque l'alimentation du cylindre concerné en carburant est interrompue, on parvient à ce qu'après la combustion dans les cylindres il ne reste dans le catalyseur plus aucune trace de carburant susceptible d'y être brûlé par l'oxygène aspiré par le cylindre concerné.

The water plugs are created automatically from existing reserves of water in the underground cavity. Maximum overall safety is achieved by not installing any important equipment in the underground storage cavity, by standardizing all links other than the vent link, and by minimizing the number of functional links required. Every standard link connects the gaseous or liquid phase of the gas to the surface via a side tube running downwards into a well containing water linked to the main tube which returns to the surface. The end of the main tube comprises a shut-off valve which causes the sealing water plug to be formed in both tubes once it is opened automatically or deliberately via an external signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for coating a surface by means of a thermal spray method, in which a spray jet of hot carrier gas and molten material particles is directed at the surface in question and at the same time cooling is effected adjacent to the spray jet by means of a cooling jet which consists of substantial proportions of carbon dioxide and contains cold gas and snow particles. Hitherto, such a process was carried out based on liquid carbon dioxide, in order to ensure that a useful cooling jet with correspondingly high snow particle fractions is obtained. According to the invention, the carbon dioxide fraction in the cooling jet is obtained from gaseous carbon dioxide which is at a pressure of at least 45 bar, specifically by the carbon dioxide gas first being expanded, via a slit nozzle or another slit-like orifice, into an expansion volume which is disposed about said expansion slit and is largely enclosed with respect to the environment, and starting from this expansion volume and its outlet orifice the cooling jet is formed and is directed at the region to be cooled. <IMAGE>

Abstract: After an ink-jet recording head (1) with a plurality of discharging portions (Nos. 1-128) arranged is main-scanned in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the discharging portion arrangement to record a first image area, sub-scanning of the head is performed. Before the head is main-scanned to record a second image area, the sub-scanning is performed so that a few discharging portions (Nos. 1-3) on an upper edge portion of the head (1) in second main-scanning overlap part of the first image area. Ink droplets land on pixels in the overlapping portion twice for each main-scanning, and image density of the pixels in the overlapping portion is controlled by the sum number of the landing ink droplets. This enables image density unevenness of image density, a "black stripe banding" or a "white stripe banding" in a boundary of an image area being recorded in each main-scanning to be markedly reduced. <IMAGE>
