Title: Method and device for treating holes or recesses extending into workpieces with liquid treatment media
Inventor: BRENN GUENTER
IPC: C25D5/08
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: Treating, for example cleaning, holes or recesses in workpieces is problematic when the holes or recesses are less than 0.5 mm wide, and in particular when they do not extend through the workpiece (blind holes). Known processes do not allow gas bubbles that adhere to the side walls of such holes to be removed nor liquids inside the holes to be effectively exchanged. The disclosed process allows the liquid inside the hole to be effectively exchanged by the liquid outside the holes. For that purpose, the liquid treatment medium is injected into the holes as a jet with a smaller diameter than the holes. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out this process with a nozzle with one or more outlets of less than 0.5 mm diameter, a liquid supply unit for pumping liquid treatment medium through the nozzle outlets, and a filtering unit in communication with the outlets and the supply unit for removing particles from the treatment medium.

Title: Tape printers
Inventor: HANDA YUJI
IPC: B41J11/00
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: When an enlarged character having a height exceeding the width of a tape (T) is printed on a corresponding sized label, using tape sections (T1, T2, T3), print pattern data for enlarged printing is divided into a plurality of print pattern data portions through the height thereof, and the height of the plurality of print pattern data portions are enlarged to that of the tape, combined with a corresponding plurality of predetermined marks (m1, m2, m3), and then printed. The predetermined marks (m1, m2, m3) are each composed of a pattern representing the order of arrangement of a respective one of the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3) on which the corresponding print data portions are printed, and printed at a predetermined position along the length of that of the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3). Thus, when the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3) on which the corresponding print data portions are printed are pasted on corresponding objects to be used as a single enlarged label, the positions of arrangement of the respective tape sections (T1, T2, T3) in the enlarged label can be confirmed with the patterns of the marks (m1, m2, m3), and divided printed character portions on the tape sections of the enlarged label are prevented from deviating one from the other by aligning the marks (m1, m2, m3) on the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3).

Title: Self-cleaning endotracheal tube apparatus
Inventor: KOLOBOW THEODOR
IPC: A61M16/04
Filed: 1996-10-02
Abstract: An endotracheal tube apparatus (10) which can efficiently impart air to the lungs of a human or animal while preventing the harmful build up of mucus deposits on critical parts of the apparatus. This endotracheal tube apparatus features an endotracheal tube (12) and a catheter (14) which are together inserted into the trachea (16) of a human or animal to a point slightly above the caring (28) of the lungs. Humidified air entrained with water or saline droplets from reservoir (56) is pumped into and trough the catheter. The catheter features a reverse thrust catheter (RTC) tip (60, 62, 64, 80) at its distal end (24) which reveres the direction of humidified air flow away from the lungs. The RTC tip serves to protect the lungs from accumulation of water or saline droplets while the water or saline droplets continually clean both the catheter and endotracheal tube by dissolving and expelling any mucus which might otherwise accumulate.

IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 1997-10-27
Abstract: An imaging element characterizes tissue morphology by analyzing perfusion patterns of a contrast media in tissue visualized by the imaging element, to identify infarcted tissue. In a preferred implementation, a catheter tube (12) introduced into a heart region carries the imaging element (34), as well as a support structure (20) spaced from the imaging element, which contracts endocardial tissues. The imaging element is moved as the imaging element visualizes tissue. A selected electrical event is sensed in surrounding myocardial tissue which regulates movement of the imaging element. The support element stabilizes the moving imaging element as it visualizes tissue, providing resistance to dislodgment or disorientation despite the presence of dynamic forces.
