IPC: E05F15/14
Filed: 1993-12-23
Abstract: A vehicle (10) has a sliding door (14) mounted on rollers (22, 24 and 30) that are supported by and slidable in tracks (16, 18 and 20). A front cable (74) is attached to a front cable drive pulley, and extends from the pulley through a front cable roller guide assembly and is attached to a hinge and roller assembly (26) on the sliding door. A rear cable (100) is attached to a rear cable drive pulley (136) and extends from the pulley through a rear cable roller guide assembly and is attached to the hinge and roller assembly (26). The front and rear cable drive pulleys (136 and 144) each have a large diameter spiral cable groove (164), a small diameter cable groove (208) and a transition cable groove (210). A motor rotates the front and rear cable drive pulleys to move the sliding door. Fixed idler rollers (226 and 254) guide the front and rear cables (74 and 100) to and from the cable drive pulleys (136 and 144) and are positioned relative to the cable drive pulleys to insure that the total cable in the continuous cable loop is substantially the same when the cable is driven by the small diameter cable groove (208) as when the cable is driven by the large diameter spiral cable groove (164).

IPC: C08F6/00
Filed: 1993-01-25
Abstract: The invention is drawn to the field of polymer purification. Two separate embodiments are presented to remove residual monomer from the polymer product. The first embodiment is the treatment of polyvinylpyrrolidone having a Fitkenscher K value of 10-90, to a monomer content of < 1 ppm. A 20-40 % aqueous solution of the polymer is passed through a stationary bed of activated carbon, residence time of the solution is 70-400 minutes and temperature is 20-90  DEG C. In the second embodiment of the invention, the residual monomers from polyvinylpyrrolidone and vinylcaprolactam are treated in an acid slurry of pH < 5 containing from about 1-30 % by weight solids. Acid treatment is conducted at a temperature from about 50-150  DEG C and for a period of about 0.5-10 hours so monomer content is < 5 ppm.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif chirurgical de forme allongée présentant un axe (41) s'étendant entre une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale (43) opposée. Ledit dispositif se compose d'une gaine dont la surface intérieure définit une chambre, et d'une canule s'étendant de manière distale par rapport à ladite gaine. Une valve disposée (32) dans la gaine présente une paroi externe conique (50) et une pluralité de parois distales qui forment un premier clapet avec la surface interne de ladite gaine et un second clapet. Les parois sont constituées de multiples segments de plissement (61) qui peuvent être repliés dans une première position dans laquelle le second clapet ferme la canule, et dans une seconde position dans laquelle le second clapet ouvre la canule. Un procédé de commande de la valve (32) consiste à insérer un instrument (28) de manière distale dans ladite valve (32) de façon qu'il touche les segments de plissement (61) le long d'une ligne, et à les replier dans la seconde position.

Dans ces dispositifs un potentiel de lecture est fourni à la grille des cellules mémoire sélectionnées et un potentiel de référence est fourni à la grille d'une cellule mémoire de référence pendant un mode de lecture; l'état des cellules mémoire programmables (10) est vérifié (1) par application d'un premier potentiel de vérification sur la grille d'une cellule mémoire programmable adressée; et (2) par application d'un deuxième potentiel de vérification sur la grille de la cellule de référence, qui est différent du premier potentiel de vérification.
