Abstract: A high-density alumina-zirconia sinter, which comprises more than 60 mol % to 99 mol % of alpha-alumina, 1 mol % to less than 40 mol % of zirconia containing at least 65 % of a tetragonal crystal phase, and a transition metal oxide in an amount of 0.01-1 % in terms of an atomic ratio of a transition metal to the sum of aluminum and zirconium, and which has a remarkably high sintering density, high strength, high toughness, and high hardness useful as mechanical members, abrasion-resistant materials, cutting tools, etc. This sinter can be obtained by dispersing alpha-alumina powder or its precursor powder and zirconia powder or its precursor in a solution or suspension of a transition metal compound, and sintering the powder obtained from the resulting dispersion. Particularly preferable starting powders include alumina-zirconia composite powder obtained by mixing a dispersion of alpha-alumina powder in an aqueous solution of a zirconium salt with a precipitating agent, and calcining the obtained composite powder.

Abstract: A thin channel split flow process for particle fractionation which effects a rapid and efficient separation of the particles comprising continuously introducing two or more fluid substreams of different composition into separate inlet ports of a thin enclosed channel having a thickness which is very thin compared to the other two dimensions and bringing the substreams into contact with adjacent substreams so as to collectively form a series of thin laminae flowing parallel to one another in the channel and in contact with one another over a sufficient length of channel to allow a desired level of mass transport between and through laminae, continuously introducing a fluid medium containing the particles to be separated as one or more of the fluid substreams and independently of the particle concentration, varying the fluid composition of the different substreams as needed to realize separation, at the outlet end of the channel splitting the collective streams into another set of substreams so as to permit separate recovery of one or more of the substreams.

Abstract: To strengthen the muscles of the abdomen and of the intestinal tract, an abdominal trainer is proposed which is provided with a pot-shaped base element (1) and a similarly pot-shaped rotationally-secured but vertically movable operating component (3) mounted on the base element (1). The device is fastened by means of a body-belt fixed to the base element (1) with a support surface (19) lying against the abdomen, in such a way that when the abdomen is pulled in a tensioned pressure spring (5) between the base element (1) and the operating component (3) is released and can be tensioned by causing the abdomen to swell. During this, the pressure spring (5) presses against the base element (1) via a control unit (9) which can be removed in bayonet fashion from the base element (1). The control unit (9) comprises cams (57) which, during rotation of the control unit (9), follow axial sliding surfaces (59) and move the control unit (9) axially in order to adjust the pre-loading force of the pressure spring (5). As the diameter of the control unit (9) is greater than that of the pressure spring (5), the latter can be exchanged through the bearing opening of the control unit (9) in order to modify the hardness of the spring.

Abstract: Method of producing a container which is hermetically sealed immediately after steam (40) is blown into the main body of a container (1) in which contents (4) such as solid foodstuffs are packed in such a manner as to leave a space (3), or after an inert gas (51) is blown, and which can control the degree of a relatively low internal negative pressure within a small range of changes. The steam (40) is generated by blowing a non-condensable gas such as air or nitrogen gas at a predetermined flow rate into thermostated water (13). When the inert gas (51) is blown, only the surface portion of the contents (4) is heated by the blow of the steam (40). The degree of internal negative pressure can be detected by measuring the extent of recession of the wall (1a) of the main body which undergoes elastic recession according to the degree of the internal negative pressure from the same line.

Title: Device for determining parameters of interest in living organisms
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 1988-02-02
Granted: 1992-12-23
Abstract: In order to determine at least one parameter of interest in a living organism, a perfusion is directly introduced in the tissues. After its partial balancing by the tissue parameter of interest, the perfusion fluid is collected and analyzed for the parameter of interest, as well as for endogenous or exogenous marker properties indicative of the degree of interaction between the perfusion fluid and the tissue, in such a way that the parameters of interest can be determined with the help of such characteristic properties. Contrary to usual processes, used exclusively inside blood vessels or other body cavities filled with liquid, this process creates in the tissues, i.e. in the closed cellular structure, a previously inexistent cavity, in which the perfusion fluid introduced in the tissue interacts directly with the organic tissue, with no intervening membranes. The transfer of the measurement site into the tissue completely eliminates the risk of the thromboses and embolies, besides strongly reducing the risk of infection.

Abstract: The transport of record carriers in sheet form can be monitored simply, reliably and accurately, in particular in the region of the transfer station of an electrographic printer, thereby ensuring transfer of the toner image to the record carrier in sheet form with faithful reproduction of the format. The reloading and transfer process can be temporally synchronized with the output signal (VER) of an optical sensor (7) for detecting the front edge of a record carrier (2), (a) from the transfer station (6). Side delivery of a record carrier is detected by an optical measuring device (9 to 13) which moves outward in steps from a zero position transversally to the transport path (1) and detects the side edge of the record carrier. The number of steps in an index of the side delivery of the record carrier, the magnitude of which is used to adjust the toner image horizontally at the beginning of a line at a given distance from the side edge. The monitoring device is particularly applicable for single-sheet operation in electrographic printers.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for in situ biodegradation of spilled hydrocarbons. The process involves drawing oxygen into a hydrocarbon contaminated zone (10). A borehole (8) is drilled into the contaminated zone (10) and gas is evacuated at high rates out of the borehole via a gas exhaust line (12) to thereby draw oxygen into the contaminated zone (10). Surprisingly, the carbon dioxide concentration in the evacuated gas remains high even at the high flow rates.

Abstract: An optical amplifier having a saturable absorption region is operated below the lasing threshold for the device. Non-linear effects and bistability are observable at temperatures above room temperature. A selected input wavelength  lambda i within the gain spectrum of the device is amplified and an output at the same wavelength  lambda i is produced. This is in contrast to the normal operation at threshold, where there is a wavelength shift to the lasing wavelength and, depending on the laser used for the saturable absorption device, the output may be multimode for a monomode input. Best gain is achieved by tuning the input wavelength to a peak of a Fabry-Perot mode in the gain spectrum for the amplifier. The amplifier may be used as a wavelength controlled optical switch, when operated bistably, or as a regenerative amplifier when operated in the non-linear region without hysteresis effects.
