Patent EP-0410187-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MERSCH STEVEN H
IPC: G01B11/14
Filed: 1990-07-07
Abstract: An apparatus or method determines the gap (11) between an assembly (12) of a tube (13) and a cylindrical float (14) located substantially concentric to the tube. An elliptically polarized light beam (A) at the wavelength for which the materials of the tube and the gap are transparent or translucent is along an optical axis (C). The index of refraction of the tube and float materials are greater than the index of refraction of the gap material. Means translates and rotates the assembly along and about its longitudinal axis (F) producing an illumination (B). A light filtering means (21) along the optical axis beyond the assembly blocks light of the illumination (B) reflected by the assembly and refracted by the tube (13), the gap (11) between the tube, and the float (14) and the float and transmits light of the illumination (B) refracted by the tube and the gap between tube and float. Light detection means (15) receives transmitted light and signals a signal processing means (16). The method has steps of transmitting the monochromatic beam of elliptically polarized light along the optical axis to the assembly, focusing the beam of light, translating and rotating the assembly through the light, producing an illumination, filtering the illumination by blocking illumination reflected by the assembly and refracted by the float, the tube and the gap between the tube and the float and transmitting the illumination refracted by the tube and the gap between the tube and the float.

Title: Tweezers for removing ticks.

IPC: A61B17/50
Filed: 1990-06-21
Abstract: A tweezer for removal of ticks has two legs (10, 12), connected at one end (11) by a loop formed spring, pinched together partly within a movable cylinder (26), which through the action of a coil spring (24) is pushed against the bent portions of the legs' (10, 12) end parts in order to exert a preset squeezing force between the end parts and their sharp edged gripping points (19). By retracting the cylinder (26) the gripping points (19) are opened and when the cylinder (26) is released, the legs' (10, 12) end portions and their gripping points (19) can grasp the tick (40) and its head (38) with such a predetermined force that the tweezer will lose its grip if the tick's head (38) has not first been loosened by turning. The turning is brought about by turning the cylinder (26), which maintains the predetermined pinching force by the help of the coil spring (24).

Abstract: A fat emulsion developed to solve the problems of polyene antifungal antibiotics that they have such a severe toxicity as to limit the administration range thereof by suitably designing the administration form, thereby reducing the hemolytic toxicity and nephrotoxicity and facilitating the migration of a drug toward infected parts without adversely affecting the pharmacological action (antifungal action) on a molecular level. The emulsion comprises 0.005 to 5 % of a polyene antifungal antibiotic, 0.5 to 30 % of a simple lipid, and a phospholipid in an amount 0.15 to 2 times as large as that of the simple lipid, wherein the relative proportion of each ingredient is controlled to give a fine microemulsion of a mean particle diameter of at least 10 nm up to 100 nm. This emulsion can remarkably enhance the efficacy of polyene antifungal antibiotics such as Amphotericin B and is very useful for the development of medicines.
