Patent EP-0733342-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SIEROCUK THOMAS J
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: A surgical instrument having an elongated shaft to which is attached an inflatable balloon, commonly referred to a "balloon dissector", for dissecting a desired layer of internal bodily tissue from remaining tissue layers to create an operative space is disclosed. Alternatively, an instrument without a balloon can be used to perform a manual dissection. In one embodiment, the instrument has a tissue-contacting element in communication with the shaft distal end, and at least a portion of the tissue-contacting element is transparent. The instrument is adapted to receive an endoscope through its shaft and extend to adjacent the tissue-contacting element. The endoscope is supported and positioned in an extension assembly. The instrument provides for visualization using the endoscope as the instrument is advanced through tissue, but prevents direct contact between the tip of the endoscope containing the lens and the tissue. The extension assembly also enables the endoscope to be adequately positioned and supported beyond the shaft distal end. When the instrument incorporates the balloon, the endoscope can extend into the lumen of the inflated balloon. In this way, improved visualization during use can be obtained.

Abstract: A clamping load distributor (20) and top stop disposed and connecting between a fuel injector body (22) and a clamping device. The clamping load distributor (20) functions as an intermediary to transmit the static clamping load from the clamping device to the fuel injector body (22). The clamping load distributor (20) includes a cylindrically shaped main body (22b) having a bore (30) extending therethrough that is disposed adjacent a coupling return spring (26). A cap is connected to the cylindrically shaped main body (22b) and functions as a top stop for limiting the outward axial movement of a mechanical linkage. The restriction on axial movement creates a small gap between the moving mechanical parts to allow a coating of lubrication to be obtained. The main (22b) having a pair of clamp receiving portions formed therein for receiving a clamping load. An annular ring is formed on the bottom side of clamping load distributor (20) radially inward from the clamp receiving portions for contacting the upper deck of the fuel injector body. The geometric relationship of the clamping load distributor (20) functions to transfer the static clamping load radially inward towards the fuel injector unit's center of mass. The transferring of the clamping load radially inward results in a significant decrease in the occurrence of timing plunger seizure within the fuel injector unit.

Abstract: A heat sterilizable electronic video endoscope powered by a high energy/power density battery, is described. Optical images of an investigation site are converted to electrical signals which are transmitted by radio transceivers from the endoscope to a remote video processor. The video processor converts the radio signals to a video image viewable on a TV monitor. All of the electrical components of the endoscope are powered by the battery which is detachable therefrom for replacement. The battery and the optical and electrical components of the endoscope are selected to withstand the temperatures of steam autoclave sterilization.

Abstract: A method of measuring the temperature of a hot melt by converting into temperature a light signal transmitted through an optical fiber the leading end of which is inserted into the hot melt. The temperature measurement is cyclically executed while severing by cutting any devitrified leading end portion of the optical fiber. Peak values of measured temperature, attributable to burning of components of the optical fiber, are excluded from the results of the measurement. The temperature of the hot melt is controlled based on the measured temperature as close as possible to a lower limit temperature which when not exceeded causes a reduction in fluidity of slag on the hot melt. The temperature measurement is performed by a temperature measuring apparatus which has a device for feeding the optical fiber into and out of the hot melt and a cutting device for severing the devitrified leading end portion of the optical fiber.

Abstract: Ozone is diffused into a closed water zone used

vanishes, is circulated over a wide bottom layer of the
water zone to thereby cause the effective spreading of the
sterilization effect of the epidemic-causing fungi, virus
or the like likely to stay in a part of the water zone
interior, water bottom slush surface or coastal water zone.
It is thereby intended to strengthen the epidemic-prevention
structure based on the sterilization of the
entire water zone. A rectifying cylinder 5 interiorly
provided with a water jet pump 4 and consisting of a
cylindrical body whose both ends are made open so as to
improve the water jetting capability of the water jet pump
4 is installed in the water of the closed water zone 1.
Ozone is injected into and mixed with the water jetted from
the water jet pump 4 and the resulting water is jetted and
ozone is thereby diffused into the closed water zone 1 over
a wide range in a short period of time. And, ozone is
thereby circulated over a wide bottom layer of the water
zone before the sterilization effect vanishes.
