Abstract: The joint consists of two pipes with threaded outer surfaces, rounded ends. Inner surface coatings (22,23), e.g. of polyepoxide, extend over part of the rounded ends. The joint is made by screwing the threaded pipe ends into a threaded female coupling so that their ends are in contact over an outer portion (16.1,17.1) of their edges. Their surface coatings are in contact over the inner portion, shaped to form a gradually diverging gap from an inner point (16.2) outwards. The angle of taper of the gap is between 5 and 30 degrees at the initial point.

Abstract: A fibrin glue includes a fibrinogen component and a thrombin component, both prepared from single donor plasma. The plasma is precipitated to produce a precipitate containing fibrinogen and a supernatant containing the thrombin. The precipitate may be resuspended in a small volume of supernatant and used as the fibrinogen component. The supernatant is further treated by clotting to convert residual fibrinogen to fibrin and filtration to remove the fibrin. Optionally, at least a portion of the anti-thrombin III originally present in the supernatant may be removed to prolong thrombin activity therein. The resulting serum can be used as the thrombin component.

Abstract: A series of fittings is provided for joining I or U-beams of composite materials for bearing structures in form of frames, lattice structures etc. Each joint between adjacent beams is formed by particular fittings of a U-shaped profile in cross section. The back of the U is of a width corresponding to the inner width between the flanges of the I or the U-beams. The flanges of these fittings present almost the same outer width as the inner width of the flanges of the I or the U-beams. When seen in the longitudinal direction, the particular fitting of each beam joint is formed by two members together forming the same angle as the adjacent beams of the beam joint. The resulting joining of structures is very fast compared to conventional joining of structures, and it presents nevertheless a high strength.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif (301) et à un procédé de réaction positive à faible puissance permettant d'accroître automatiquement un courant de polarisation  pendant un balayage positif de signaux importants, ce qui permet d'obtenir une modification plus rapide à la sortie. Le dispositif comprend une unité de transformation de potentiel (302), un circuit adaptatif de réaction positive (304) et un étage de sortie (309). Lorsque le dispositif n'est pas en balayage positif, les courants de polarisation restent inchangés, ce qui permet d'obtenir un courant en veilleuse peu élevé. Etant donné que la réaction positive est à la fois intégrée au dispositif et automatique, le courant est augmenté uniquement pour le système qui commande une colonne active d'un panneau afficheur à cristaux liquides ce qui, pour les besoins de l'invention permet de rationnaliser l'utilisation de la puissance. Par ailleurs, la réponse en courant alternatif du dispositif est préservée grâce à l'utilisation d'un circuit à réaction positive (304) qui n'ajoute pas de décalage important de phase en excès. Le dispositif permet de passer rapidement à la sortie d'une alimentation positive à une alimentation négative.

IPC: G01N33/86

Abstract: A method and device is described for direct removal of heparin from whole blood during extracorporeal therapy. In clinical situations where the blood is heparinized to prevent clotting in the extracorporeal circuit containing e.g., a hemodialysis cartridge or a heart-lung machine, it would be desirable to eliminate the systemic heparinization of the patients. The extracorporeal circuit contains a device having antithrombin III immobilized and inserted between the outlet port of the primary extracorporeal device, such as the hemodialysis cartridge or heart-lung machine and the patient. When the heparinized blood comes in contact with the immobilized antithrombin III, heparin is removed and the reperfused blood is substantially free of heparin. The advantage of the system lies in the fact that heparin is removed from the blood rather than neutralized. This helps overcome the adverse reactions and side effects associated with the use of heparin anticoagulation.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un appareil qui génère des configurations binaires utiles pour tester des unités de stockage au moyen de la forme modifiée d'un registre à décalage. On ajoute une entrée de commande ainsi que deux bits, et l'on remplace par le bit le moins significatif du résultat l'un des bits qui subissent un décalage circulaire pour générer des configurations binaires successives. On peut utiliser les configurations générées pour tester les unités de stockage en écrivant une configuration sur l'unité de stockage, puis en procédant à sa lecture et en comparant la configuration lue et la configuration écrite. Toute différence entre ces configurations révèle un défaut au niveau de l'unité de stockage.

Abstract: A tube which circumferentially distends from its initial circumference upon the application of a circumferentially distending force such as applied by an internal pressure, and which exhibits minimal recoil following the removal of the circumferentially distending force. The tube preferably has a second circumference larger than the initial circumference which remains substantially unchanged by further increasing force once it has been achieved. Because of the distensible circumference and minimal recoil of the tube, the tube is useful as a liner for pipes and vessels and particlarly for pipes and vessels having irregular internal surfaces towhich the tube can smoothly conform. The tube is preferably made from porous PTFE with thin walls, in which form it is particularly useful as a liner for both living and prosthetic blood vessels and to line anastomoses between living and prosthetic blood vessels.
