Abstract: A nozzle for processing of plastics by way of an injection molding machine comprising a basic body (1), a nozzle head (2) and a thermally conducting torpedo (3) which are heated directly or indirectly respectively by a heating device (8). The thermally conducting torpedo (3) is clamped between the basic body (1) and the nozzle head (2). The thermally conducting torpedo (3) is fixed to an adapter (20). The thermally conducting torpedo (3) is arranged such that plastic molding compound is guided to outlets (21.1, 21.2) which are at a distance to a nozzle axis (15). The plastic molding compound is ejected out of the nozzle in e.g. radial outward direction into forming cavities (23.1, 23.2) of an injection mold (17). The nozzle prevents losses of material due to sprue and bore, is simply producible and at the same time guarantees a good heat transmission into the thermally conducting torpedo (3).

Abstract: A portable scanning laser ophthalmoscope with a wide field of view permits a clinician to directly view the interior of the patient's eye without the use of an external monitor or display. The portable scanning laser ophthalmoscope includes a housing that is sufficiently small to be carried and held by a clinician. The housing contains a source of laser light that is scanned by a scanning system for generating a two-dimensional area of illumination. The housing also includes a battery for providing power to the scanning system. An optical system contained in the housing directs illumination from the scanning system to the patient's eye to illuminate the fundus and also intercepts light reflected by the patient's eye to generate a magnified image of the interior of the patient's eye. The optical system also includes an eyepiece lens through which a clinician looks to directly view the magnified image of the interior of the patient's eye.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vaginal ring intended for the release of at least one drug over a prolonged time period. The vaginal ring contains a ring body made of a first polymeric material having at least one hollow internal channel defining an opening to the exterior of said body and which channel is adapted to receive a drug-containing core through said opening, and an intravaginally administerable drug-containing core disposed in the channel. The core is positioned in the vaginal ring body suitably prior to use in order to substantially avoid initial bursts of drug into the tissues of the subject and resultant side effects such as nausea and vomiting. The core contains a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one intravaginally administerable drug dispersed in a second polymeric material. The first and second polymeric materials may be the same or different. Representative drugs include contraceptive agents and other steroidal substances for use in hormone replacement therapy. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the vaginal rings, kits for assembling the vaginal rings, and methods of using the vaginal rings to achieve intravaginal delivery of drugs to a female.

Abstract: A method of processing material with a laser beam. The material has two surfaces. The beam is focused by a multilens objective in a number of focal points which are approximately positioned on a common axis with an angle to the first surface. The focal points are spaced apart and used for cutting plates with several focal points being utilized for melting and cutting the plate material. As a result, a good cutting notch is obtained with good separation of the cut parts and poor adhesion of slag.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for converting the kinetic energy of a moving fluid stream into useful work by using a cascade of thin aero or hydro foils positioned therein. The foils may be provided with at least two degrees of freedom and adjacent foils move out of phase. The foils are subjected to fluid induced oscillations known as flutter. Barriers (3, 43) may be positioned upstream, above, or at sides of the apparatus for increasing efficiency by increasing the fluid velocity. A system of flywheels (17, 18) are used to increase inertia of the foils and are particularly useful with hydrofoils. A cascade of aero or hydro foils may be mechanically oscillated to transfer energy to a fluid.

Compressed air is applied to an air inlet (8) of the advancing unit (4), and led through the tube along the cable already inserted in the tube. The tube reel is put on a support 7, which is driven to a periodic movement in the vertical direction between to extreme positions (amplitude A, period P). During part of each period the movement is a free fall, or at least approximates a free fall. The movement may be sinusoidal with period P=2 pi [A/g]+E,fra 1/2+EE  (g is gravitational constant). In this case, the support (7) may be part of a rotatably supported lever, or may be part of a seesaw. In addition, the movement may be the vertical component of a maintained swinging movement. In this case the support (7) may be the swinging part of a Chinese swing.

Abstract: A wireless communication device which automatically and seamlessly switches to an alternate, available system when it is unable to complete a call origination attempt, without requiring the user to take any affirmative actions to select the alternate system or re-initiate a call origination. The wireless communication device decreases the percentage of call failures by providing a hold-over of pending call origination attempts until service is finally acquired. In the case of either exceeding the maximum number of access sequences (reverse link limited) or failure to acquire the forward link of the preferred communication system (forward link limited), the user is not required to re-initiate the call origination, thus turning a potential call failure into a success.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de commander et de gérer divers dispositifs domestiques. Un premier dispositif domestique capable d'afficher des données d'interface utilisateur est connecté à un réseau domestique. Un deuxième dispositif domestique stocke les données d'interface utilisateur définissant une interface utilisateur pour gérer et commander un deuxième dispositif domestique, également connecté au réseau domestique. Le premier dispositif domestique reçoit, via le réseau domestique, les données d'interface utilisateur, en provenance du deuxième dispositif. Le premier dispositif affiche alors l'interface utilisateur telle qu'elle est définie par les données. L'utilisateur est en interaction avec l'interface utilisateur affichée sur le premier dispositif par un organe de commande. L'entrée utilisateur est prise en compte lorsqu'elle est fournie par l'utilisateur en réaction aux interactions. Les informations de gestion et de commande sont envoyées du premier dispositif domestique à destination du deuxième dispositif domestique de façon à commander le deuxième dispositif en fonction de l'entrée utilisateur. Etant donné que l'interface utilisateur peut s'afficher depuis n'importe quel dispositif, un même dispositif de commande suffit à commander une pluralité de divers dispositifs sans qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier le mode de fonctionnement du dispositif de commande.

Abstract: A toothbrush having a bristle-bearing head divided into at least two sections is disclosed. The free end section, when unstressed, is normally biased to assume an angle of about 15 DEG  with respect to the other, to thereby define an articulated head. The two sections of the head have facing ends joined by a thin bridge or hinge section integral with the two head sections, the bridge or hinge forming a groove between adjacent head sections. The upper surface of the bridge section is substantially flush with the upper surface of the head (opposite to the bristle-bearing surface). The space between the two facing ends is filled with a soft elastomer of about 5 to about 30, preferably about 13 to about 30 Shore A hardness. This hinge construction defines an articulated head of limited flex motion, wherein, when utilized by the average adult brusher, who applies an average brushing force of 0.5 pounds, flexes to a substantially flattened position. According to a second aspect of the invention, each end of the groove terminates in a flange at its extreme outer edge, and the groove, including the flange, is filled with an elastomer, which, due to the presence of the flange, is resistant to peel stresses caused by flexing of the hinge or joint.
