Patent EP-0113958-A3 (EP)
IPC: A47L23/26
Filed: 1983-11-24
Abstract: A disposable absorbent structure for the removal and 
retention of moisture and/or particulate from a soiled object 
coming in contact therewith. The structure preferably com­
prises a macroscopically patterned, three-dimensionally 
expanded, shear resistant uppermost layer having an ob­
ject contacting surface and a non-object contacting surface, 
said uppermost layer exhibiting a pattern of protuberances 
extending upwardly from a first plane and terminating in a 
second plane substantially parallel to and remote from the 
first plane. The uppermost layer further exhibits a multiplic­
ity of discrete apertures in its second plane and is pervious 
to moisture in its first plane. A moisture absorbent substrate 
having its uppermost surface coextensive with the upper­
most object contacting layer is secured substantially contin­
uously to substantially all of the non-object contacting sur­
face of the uppermost layer. The discrete apertures located 
in the second plane of the uppermost layer expose the sub­
jacent portions of the moisture absorbent substrate directly 
to the soiled object when the disposable absorbent struc­
ture contacts the object. Under normal use conditions, the 
portions of the uppermost layer initially located in the first 
plane and the portions of the uppermost layer initially lo­
cated in the second plane undergo resilient deformation to 
move closer toward one another, but do not become co­
planar with one another when subjected to compressive 
loads. When the compressive loads are removed, they 
move in the direction of their initial positions. Absorbent 
structures of the present invention function to transfer mois­
ture and/or particulate from a soiled object into the mois­
ture absorbent substrate via the discrete apertures in and/­
or the moisture-pervious portions of the uppermost layer of 
the structure. Once moisture and particulate enter the mois­
ture absorbent substrate, they are effectively isolated from 
objects coming in contact with the structure by the upper­
most object contacting layer.

IPC: B01D29/60
Filed: 1984-05-25
Abstract: A valve for automatically directing the flow of fluid from a 
source of pressure to each side in turn of a double acting 
hydraulic actuator causing it to reciprocate. The valve assem­
bly comprising a valve spool (12) which is acted on by a return 
spring (13) to urge the valve spool into a starting position, in 
which position fluid flows to one side of the actuator. Spring 
loaded valve means (17,25) controls the flow of fluid, when a 
predetermined pressure is exceeded, to a pilot spool (14) 
which acts on the valve spool to change over its position. The 
valve spool (12) is held in the change over position by a back 
pressure which is generated during the return of the actuator 
by the flow of fluid through a throttle (D) formed between the 
valve spool and the pilot spool.

Abstract: A pressure equalising device equalises and controls the 
pressures in at least two pressurised pneumatic tyres of a 
multiple wheel assembly of a road vehicle. The device com­
prises a valve body (3) defining an equalising chamber (9) and 
having a socket part (4) mountable directly on the conven­
tional air inlet connection of one tyre and having a tubular 
connection (13) for engagement with the air inlet connection 
of the second of the two tyres. The two tyre inlet connections 
(4 and 13) communicate with the equalising chamber (9) on 
opposite sides of a valve seat (10a) for a valve member (14) 
urged towards the seat (10a) by a spring (19). The two tyre 
pressures are equalised when the valve is open to maintain 
equalised pressure between the tyres under varying load 
conditions. The valve however closes the chamber sealing off 
the communication between the tyre inlet connections, in the 
event of failure of one tyre, to prevent pressure loss from the 
other tyre.

Abstract: Disclosed are vaccine compositions for use in develop­
ing protective immunity against infection by Plasmodium 
parasites. Soluble proteinaceous immunogens are isolated 
from the fluid culture medium of in vitro propagated 
plasmodial species parasites (e.g., P. falciparum) in mamma­
lian erythrocyte culture supernatant or from washes, includ­
ing hypotonic washes, of cultured erythrocytes parasitized 
by plasmodium. Immunogens so obtained have molecular 
weights in the range from about 35,000 daltons to about 
85,000 daltons and from about 190,000 to about 210,000 
daltons. Two principal immunogens of the invention have 
molecular weights of about 43,000 and about 54,000 daltons, 
respectively, while a third has a molecular weight of about 
200,000. The water soluble immunogens are administered in 
a suitable carrier such as isotonic salt solution and in 
combination with a suitable adjuvant such as saponin or, 
preferably, aluminum hydroxide. Upon administration to 
vertebrate animals susceptible to plasmodial infection, vac­
cines according to the invention provoke immune responses 
protective against morbidity and mortality caused by, e.g., P. 
falciparum infection. Disclosed also are procedures for 
optimization of large scale plasmodial parasite growth in 
human erythrocyte cultures with accompanying develop­
ment of late erythrocytic stage parasites in large numbers 
and optimization of isolatable quantities of culture medium 
supernatant and wash-derived immunogens.

Abstract: A lift truck of the order-picker type is provided with an 
automatic control system for safe-guarding the operation 
against certain conditions. The electronic control system is 
responsive to an electrical height signal corresponding to the 
height of the lift fork (32) to regulate or limit the other op­
erational functions of the truck. A speed control channel (152) 
compares a speed signal with a speed command signal and 
produces a speed control signal of limiting value. A travel 
interrupt channel (212) compares the height signal with the 
steering angle and interrupts the vehicle travel if the steering 
angle is excessive. Usually, the high speed lift is cut-off when 
a predetermined height is reached; the lowering of the up­
right (26) is disabled at a predetermined lower limit subject 
to manual override.
