Patent EP-0984717-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COLLES MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1998-05-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne la transmission à travers une dent (6, 24) de deux sources lumineuses (2, 3; 20, 22) à longueurs d'ondes comprises dans la gamme de 1,1 à 1,6 νm, modulées à la même fréquence mais en opposition de phase l'une par rapport à l'autre. On mesure la lumière transmise au moyen d'un détecteur (9, 26) doté d'un ensemble filtre électronique (28) de manière à laisser passer uniquement le signal à modulation de fréquence correspondant à des différences d'absorption entre les deux longueurs d'ondes. La détection d'absorption différentielle sert de base à la détection de caries. Une diffusion de la lumière dans des tissus est déviée au moyen d'un filtrage spatial optique.

Title: Fuel injection device for internal combustion engines
Inventor: BOECKING FRIEDRICH
IPC: F02M45/04
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel injection device for internal combustion engines, wherein the opening and closing movement of a fuel injection valve (1) is controlled by the pressure in pressure chamber (9) acting on a pressure shoulder (16). The pressurised fluid supply to the pressure chamber (9) is controlled by a control valve member (23) which is displaced by the pressure in a working chamber (31). The pressure in said working chamber (31) is controlled by a pilot valve (55) having a closing body (56) which is displaced by a piezo drive (73) from a second valve seat (64) to a first valve seat (60), thus opening for a short moment the expansion duct (50) of said working chamber (31). The control valve member (23) is then opened and high-pressure fuel is supplied to the pressure chamber (9) for injection, which results in a very small pre-injection amount. In order to obtain the main injection amount, the closing body (56) is placed in a central position between the two valve seats (64, 60), thus establishing a longer connection for supplying the high-pressure fuel flow to the pressure chamber (9).

Title: A sealing device for a centrifugal separator
Inventor: KRISTENSEN AKSEL
IPC: F16J15/40
Filed: 1998-06-09
Abstract: A simple but still effective sealing device to separate two openings (4, 5), which are arranged at a distance from each other in the outer casing (3) of a shaft suspension unit (1), which supports a shaft (2) of a centrifugal separator in a bearing (8, 9), the shaft extending axially through at least one opening (4) into a space surrounding the shaft (2) in the outer casing (3). The sealing device is provided with sealing elements (12, 13), one connected to the outer casing (3) and one connected to the shaft (2), wich surround the shaft (2) and divide the space in two departments (15, 16) connected to one opening each (4, 5, repectively). The sealing elements form between themselves a narrow gap (14) surrounding the shaft (2), which prevents the flow of gas between the departments (15, 16). One of the sealing elements (12, 13) has a channel (21), which has an opening (23) in a central part of the gap (14), for the supply of a sealing liquid under pressure to the gap (14) in such a way that oil flows from the opening (23) through the gap (14) and out into the two departments (15, 16).
