Patent EP-1091682-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ZEITELS STEVEN
IPC: A61B1/267
Filed: 1998-09-21
Abstract: A universal modular glottiscope system includes a set of differently dimensioned elongate tubular elements for insertion into a patient's larynx for laryngoscopic procedures or intubation. Each tubular element has a substantially triangular cross-section distally defined by a substantially planar base and two curved sides which intersect at an apex line and may have varying curvature between the apex line and the base. A distal end opening is defined by an intersection of the cross-section with an imaginary plane at a selected angle to the longitudinal direction of the tubular element. At the proximal end of each tubular element, which is D-shaped in configuration and wider than the distal end, is provided a pair of opposed end slots intermediate the apex line and the base. The planar base is detachable. Above the slots, adjacent the proximal end of each tubular element, is a standardized handle-attachment fitting. A surgeon using the system may inspect the patient and, based on measurements and/or experience, select the most suitable elongate tubular element from the set and manually attach a standardized handle element thereto at the standardized handle-attachment thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for assessing simulated biological dissolution of a pharmaceutical formulation and absorption of a pharmaceutically active compound therefrom. The system comprises a dissolution chamber and a cell culture chamber. Within the dissolution chamber, the dissolution profile of the pharmaceutical formulation (or drug) is determined. Within the cell culture chamber, the pharmaceutically active compound may be absorbed and transported by a cell monolayer. The cell culture chamber includes a tubular filter which is permeable to medium and capable of supporting the cell monolayer on its interior surface. Insertion of the filter into the cell culture chamber housing forms an apical chamber interior of the filter, and a basal chamber between the filter and the wall of the housing. The filter rotates about an axis within the housing substantially parallel to the direction of media flow through the cell culture chamber. The medium flowing from the dissolution chamber contains the pharmaceutical formulation and is provided to the apical chamber. The rate of appearance of the pharmaceutically active compound in the medium outflowing from the basal chamber may be analysed to determine absorption of the pharmaceutically active compound.

Abstract: A power control system for communication systems which utilizes a ternary signaling scheme to reduce or eliminate limit cycling which occurs as the result of using a binary signaling scheme. The power control values (each having one of three possible values) are not encoded and are punctured onto the data to improve the response time of the power control loop and allow for dynamic adjustment of the transmit power. The power up, power down, and do nothing commands are represented by positive, negative and zero values (e.g., +1, -1, and 0), respectively. The remote station (6) decreases its transmit power if any base station issues a power down command, maintains its transmit power if no base stations (4) issue a power down command and at least one base station issues a do nothing command, and increases its transmit power if all base station issue power up commands.

Abstract: Metal production from oxidic ore, comprising tuyere injection of plastic supplied by a compressed air transport line (10) equipped with shut-off valves (24, 28, 29) for avoiding blockages and hot blast back-flow, is new.  Metal production from oxidic ore comprises supplying fluidized plastic particles to tuyere injection lances (18) of a shaft furnace (1) by a transport line (10) equipped with shut-off valves (24, 28, 29), a compressed air entry connection (31) being provided in the transport line (10) or in each lance. The first shut-off valve (24) is closed when plastic blockage of the transport line or lances occurs; the second shut-off valve (28) is closed when hot air flows back through the injection lances (18); and the third shut-off valve (29) is closed when compressed air passes over and cools the injection lances.  Independent claims are also included for the following:  (1) a plant for carrying out the above process; and (2) a blast furnace in which the above process is carried out.

Inventor: DELL TIMOTHY J
IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 1999-04-29
Abstract: A memory device is provided which stacks commands and internally
executes each command at the appropriate time, thereby ensuring
contiguous data I/O. The memory device is capable of initiating memory
accesses either immediately or "stacking" the command along with a "clock
count". The clock count defines the number of clock cycles that must
occur prior to execution of the command by the memory device. The memory
device initiates memory accesses either immediately, or delayed by the
number of clocks defined by the clock count for that command. The memory
device operates as a slave to the memory controller and therefore has no
ability to execute instructions at a time other than that defined by the
memory controller.

Abstract: A plough point 12 includes an elongate flange 22 that is
centrally located and that runs along its complete
underside extent. The flange 22 fits snugly in a
correspondingly shaped groove 24 located towards the end
of a holder 10. The underside surfaces 26 either side of
the flange 22 rest on corresponding faces 28 either side
of the groove 24. The left hand side 30 of the point
abuts with an elongate ledge 36 of the holder and the
right hand side 34 of the point is generally flush with
the end wall of the holder. 
     The leading edge 48 is at an angle to the elongate extent
of the flange 22 such that the right hand part of the edge
is in advance of the left hand part. Wear on the point
occurs by wearing away the leading edge as consequently
most severe in the leading part of the leading edge.
Consequently a small portion of the leading edge
coincident with the right hand underside surface will be
relatively quickly worn away before the flange 22 then
becomes the leading portion. Wear will then be relatively
slow.

Abstract: The two compartments lie on opposite sides of a common base (15) extending over the whole area of the lock case (B). A control lever (11), mounted on stub shaft passing through the base and rotating a catch, releasing the bolt, in the other compartment, is actuated by a peg fixed under a toothed wheel (22), as the wheel rotates. The wheel is driven, via a worm gear, by a geared motor (16) energized on the initial movement of a cable (C) which operates a micro-switch (60), the cable being connected to the exterior door handle. The interior door handle acts directly on the catch. A reversible second motor is mounted (53) so as to control a pivoted (42) locking lever (41) via a toothed peripheral rack (48). This lever is also controllable (43) by a drum (44) turned by a conventional key in an exterior lock-barrel, and (45) by an interior e.g. plunger-type manual handle. If the opening motor (16), or its supply, is defective, the door can be opened by continued movement of the exterior handle, via a cable end-stop (36), which transmits the effort to the control lever (11) through a pivoted (33) emergency lever (32); however, when the door is locked the locking lever (41) disengages the end-stop from the forked end of the emergency lever. The locking motor also responds to the usual external remote control.

Abstract: Bei einem Verschluss gibt es einen Schliesskopf (20) und ein Schloss (10), die an dem ruhenden bzw. beweglichen Teil einer Tür, einer Klappe od. dgl. sitzen. Der Schliesskopf (20) besitzt eine hinterschnittene Axialschulter (26), die im Kupplungsfall von einem radial beweglichen Sperrglied (11) im Schloss (10) hintergriffen wird. Im Schloss (10) gibt es noch ein Fühlglied (12) und ein Rückstellglied (13) für das Sperrglied (11). Um den Verschluss störunanfälliger zu machen, wird vorgeschlagen, das axial federbelastete Fühlglied (12) als Arretiermittel für das radial gefederte Sperrglied (11) zu nutzen. Bei wirksamer Arretierung wird das Sperrglied (11) in einer Freigabeposition bezüglich des Schliesskopfs (20) gehalten. Beim Einkuppeln des Schliesskopfs (20) kommt es zu einer Axialbewegung des Fühlglieds (12), wodurch sich die Arretierung löst. Dann kann die radiale Federbelastung das Sperrglied (11) in dessen Sperrposition überführen. Beim Betätigen des Rückstellglieds (13) ergibt sich eine radiale Rückbewegung des Sperrglieds (11), welche die Arretierung des Fühlglieds (12) wirksamsetzt und das Sperrglied (11) in dessen Freigabeposition arretiert.
