Patent EP-0509773-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LURIE KEITH G
IPC: A61H31/00
Filed: 1992-04-15
Abstract: A device for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation employs an applicator device (10) having a body (12) with an upper surface (18) and a lower surface (16). The lower surface (16) includes provisions for detachably securing to the patient's chest, such as a vacuum cup or an adhesive layer. For manual resuscitation, the upper surface will include a strap (20) or other means for securing a performer's hand thereto. For automatic applications, a mechanical drive member will be secured to the upper surface. By alternately pressing and lifting on the applicator device, the patient's chest can be compressed and expanded to improve induced ventilation and circulation.

Abstract: A camshaft (426) has a vane (460) secured to an end thereof for non-oscillating rotation therewith. The camshaft also carries a sprocket (432) which can rotate with the camshaft but which is oscillatable with respect to the camshaft. The vane has opposed lobes (460a, 460b) which are received in opposed recesses (432a, 432b), respectively, of the sprocket. The recesses have greater circumferential extent than the lobes to permit the vane and sprocket to oscillate with respect to one another, and thereby permit the camshaft to change in phase relative to a crankshaft whose phase relative to the sprocket is fixed by virtue of a chain drive extending therebetween. The camshaft tends to change in reaction to pulses which it experiences during its normal operation, and it is permitted to change only in a given direction, either to advance or retard, by selectively blocking or permitting the flow of hydraulic fluid, preferably engine oil, through the return lines (494, 496) from the recesses by controlling the position of a spool (500) within a valve body (498) of a control valve in response to a signal indicative of an engine operating condition from an engine control unit (508).

Abstract: A hollow, elongate open-ended nail 10 is inserted in a humerus bone. Fixing wires 19a, 19b are inserted through the nail 10 and are embedded in the head of the bone. At a distal end 13 of the nail 10 a distal fixing screw 17 passes through the posterior cortex of the humerus bone to the anterior cortex of the humerus bone and passes through the nail 10, to inhibit rotational movement of the distal end of the humerus relative to the nail. The outward movement of the fixing wires 19a and 19b has a piercing effect which causes minimal disturbance to the proximal end of the humerus, but also effectively locks the proximal end of the humerus to the nail 10, preventing rotation of the proximal end of the humerus with respect to the nail 10.

Abstract: Comparateur différentiel comprenant un premier et un deuxième amplificateur, avec entre les deux un circuit de rétro-information capacitif, des premier et deuxième condensateurs disposés entre le premier et le deuxième terminal d'entrée du comparateur et les entrées des premier et deuxème amplificateurs, ainsi que des dispositifs de commutation. Les dispositifs de commutation comportent un premier système de modulation ayant pour effet que l'entrée et la sortie de chaque amplificateur sont préchargées à une valeur prédéterminée, et un deuxième système de modulation assurant la connexion du premier et du deuxième terminal d'entrée aux premier et deuxième condensateurs pendant une phase de fonctionnement. Pendant la deuxième phase de fonctionnement, le premier et le deuxième système de modulation libèrent les amplificateurs de leur précharge et isolent les premier et deuxième terminaux d'entrée des premier et deuxième condensateurs. Un troisième système de modulation établit dans le même temps un court-circuit entre les terminaux d'entrée des premier et deuxième condensateurs. Pour accroître la vitesse d'accrochage du comparateur différentiel, un quatrième système de modulation isole les premier et deuxième condensateurs des entrées des premier et deuxième amplificateurs lorsqu'un verrouillage des premier et deuxième amplificateurs s'est amorcé pendant la deuxième phase de fonctionnement. L'invention porte également sur la méthode d'obtention de la comparaison différentielle.

Abstract: A thickened aqueous cleaning composition is viscoelastic, and has utility as a drain opening composition or as a hard surface cleaner having a cleaning-effective residence time on non-horizontal surfaces. In one embodiment the composition comprises a cleaning active, a quaternary ammonium compound, and an organic counterion. In another embodiment, the viscoelastic quality of the composition is advantageously utilized as a drain opener which rapidly penetrates standing water with minimal dilution to deliver active to the clog material. In these embodiments and corresponding methods of use, a free amine is limited with respect to the amount of the quaternary ammonium compound in the composition in order to maintain phase stability and to achieve further enhanced rheological and aesthetic properties in the composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly watertight lead-wire grommet for water-tightly passing at least a lead wire through an opening formed in a wall (1). 
     The lead-wire grommet comprises a rubber-made inner member (4) having at least an insertion hole (40) through which the lead wire (3) is passed as tightly fitted and a slit (41) through which the lead wire (3) is set into the insertion hole (40). Also the grommet comprises a rubber-made outer member (5) having a retention hole (51) in which the inner member (4) is retained as tightly fitted, and an engagement groove (55) at which the outer member (5) is tightly fitted on the edge of the opening (10) in the wall (1). As a result, retaining the inner member (4) as tightly fitted in the retention hole (51) in the outer member (5) causes the walls of the slit (41) in the inner member (4) to closely fit each other, thereby providing a higher watertightness of the structure. 
     Also, a resin-made cap (6) and ring (7) are retained as tightly fitted in a rubber-made outer member (8). By pressing a rubber-made inner member (4) with the cap (6) and ring (7) from opposite sides, it is possible to positively prevent the inner member (7) from slipping out of the outer member (8).

Abstract: Method for both emptying and washing refuse containers (3) in, or respectively on, the same crushing device, such as a refuse truck (1). As a result of the fact that the loading cycle and the cleaning take place after one another, the required power can be delivered by a single motor; extra motor power is not necessary. 
     The washing device used contains one or more (rotating) spray heads (11) for washing liquid, such as water, which can be turned away in a relatively narrow part of the space to which the refuse opening (6) provides access. For this purpose the head is located at the end of one of two arms (12,14), which can move in a shearing manner with regard to one another, controlled with the aid of a steel cable between the frame of the device (the truck) and the arm on which the head is located, for an adjusted length with adjusted fixation points.

Abstract: A method of making a brazeable metal pipe (3) which has elliptical tube-insertion apertures (5) and guide lugs (7) extending from at least one of the opposite edges defining the minor axis of each aperture (5), with the guide lugs (7) extending in the direction of insertion of flat tubes (1). The method in an embodiment comprises the steps of: bending a part of a raw strip (30), which may be previously embossed to form recesses (31), so as to provide a bulged portion (39) arc-shaped in cross section and connected to at least one unbulged flat portions (40); pressing inwardly to form inward swells (42); subsequently punching each inward swell (42) to provide the tube-insertion aperture (5) so that at least one of the opposite edges located at ends of the minor axis of said aperture remains unpunched; and finally bending the at least one unbulged portions (40) to produce the finished pipe (3). Alternatively, the method may comprise the step of: punching raw apertures (131) through the raw strip (130) so that each aperture has protrusions (132); bending it to form the bulged portion (139); bending the protrusions (132) to give the guide lugs (7); and finally bending the unbulged portions (140), thus any complicated die is not needed and the pipe wall is protected well from being collapsed or deformed.
