Abstract: Appareil servant à assembler ou à séparer deux éléments pourvus de raccordements filetés appariés, tels des boulons ou des jonctions de tuyaux, de manière à éviter des forces transversales indésirables par rapport aux deux éléments au cours du serrage (ou du desserrage) et à assurer ainsi que le raccordement est effectué (ou rompu) par des efforts de couple essentiellement purs. Une pince d'avance commandée par moteur entraîne en rotation un premier élément fileté hors de son axe. Une pince d'appui bloque un second élément fileté pour en empêcher la rotation axiale en réponse à la rotation du premier élément. Un appareil d'isolement et à structure de raccordement réciproque adapte la pince d'avance à la pince d'appui de telle manière que leur tendance à tourner autour des éléments filetés dans des sens opposés se neutralise mutuellement. L'appareil d'isolation et à structure de raccordement permettant un mouvement relatif le long des axes des x, y et z entre la pince d'avance et la pince d'appui mais ne permettant pas une rotation relative autour de l'axe des z, la structure de raccordement réciproque permet d'éviter que des forces transversales indésirables soient produites entre la pince d'avance et la pince d'appui en réponse au couple d'entraînement de la pince d'avance. L'appareil d'isolation et à structure de raccordement réciproque élimine les forces transversales qui se seraient autrement développées en raison des irrégularités des éléments filetés. Un dynamomètre coopérant avec l'appareil d'isolation et placé à l'intérieur de la structure de raccordement coopère avec l'appareil d'isolation et le châssis des pinces pour produire une mesure de couple sans induire de forces transversales sur les éléments filetés.

Abstract: An improved process for manufacturing low density polytetrofluoroethylene insulated cable using a paste type extrudate to form a hollow tube of insulated material extruded about a wire conductor  (W) which passes through the extrusion die. As contrasted with earlier methods, the shaped extrudate paste is stretched before removing the extrusion aid substantially at ambient temperature with only residual heat imparted by extrusion by a driven pulley (13), the peripheral speed of which may be varied in accordance with the speed of the extrudate. With the completion of the stretching, the increased outer surface and porosity of the extrudate permits faster removal of the extrusion aid immediately prior to entering a sintering oven (18).

Abstract: On améliore la fiabilité et la détection de particules ou de bulles dans un écoulement de fluide en utilisant un détecteur de fréquences à effet Doppler pulsé. Lorsque le détecteur reçoit un signal s'écho indiquant de manière implicite la présence d'une bulle ou d'une particule dans le fluide porteur, un intervalle de temps prédéterminé fondé sur le débit du fluide porteur est alors fixé après une deuxième impulsion d'interrogation pendant laquelle la deuxième impulsion d'interrogation est supposée produire un écho si le premier écho a lui-même effectivement indiqué la présence réelle d'une bulle ou d'une particule dans le fluide. La détection du deuxième écho pendant cet intervalle de temps confirme la présence de la bulle ou de la particule. Pour des écoulements de fluides dont les profils de vitesse de section de passage ne sont pas constants, par exemple un écoulement laminaire, on établit une pluralité d'intervalles différents de temps prédits pour différents points du profil de vitesse espacés radialement de la conduite de fluide et on utilise plusieurs cycles de détection pour détecter ainsi les bulles ou les particules au niveau de positions radiales différentes de la section de passage du fluide.

Abstract: A tool (1) for subcutaneously implanting a subcutaneous electrode comprising several wire patch electrode segments by way of a single surgical incision. The tunneling tool (1) comprises a stylet (2) and a peel-away sheath (8). The tunneling tool (1) is inserted into an incision, in a direction which corresponds to the desired placement of an electrode segment. Once the tunneling tool reaches a desired position, the stylet (2) is withdrawn, thereby revealing the interior of the peel-away sheath (8) and a resulting subcutaneous tunnel. The corresponding electrode segment is then inserted into this subcutaneous tunnel, and subsequently implanted in the patient. The implantation procedure is then repeated as many times as is necessary, using the same incision, until all the electrode segments for the particular electrode configuration have been implanted. In addition, the tunneling tool (1) can be adapted to conform to varying electrode segment sizes, which thereby allows the tool to conform to the varying needs of each individual patient. As an even further feature, the tunneling tool (1) can be constructed in a curved configuration to facilitate electrode implantation in the lateral thoracic region of the body. <IMAGE>
