Abstract: An atrial defibrillator (30) provides cardioverting electrical energy to the atria (16, 18) of a human heart (10) in need of cardioversion. The atrial defibrillator includes a first detector (50) for detecting ventricular activations of the heart, a second detector (54) for detecting atrial activity of the heart, and an atrial fibrillation detector (70) responsive to the second detector for determining when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion. The atrial defibrillator also includes a cardioverting stage (72, 74, 76) for applying the cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion and when the time between immediately successive ventricular activations is greater than a preselected minimum time interval. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for separation of gases into two components of different boiling points, for example in the separation of ethane from natural gas, comprises a first separation tower (V1) and a second separation tower (V2). Liquid in stream (5) from a bottom of the first tower is expanded and cooled and is then communicated in stream (6) to the second tower at a lower pressure. Gas from the second tower is communicated back to the first tower so that the first component in stream (10) is extracted from the top of the first tower and the second component in stream (11) is extracted from the bottom of the second tower. A third tower (V3) acts as a recycle fractionator upon the gas in stream (7) extracted from the top of the second tower with that gas being compressed into the third tower which is at high pressure. The liquid in stream (5) from the bottom of the first tower is used to cool a condenser (E6) at the top of the first tower (V1) and to cool the material from the recycle fractionator (V3) as it is returned to the top of the first tower.

Abstract: A landing gear assembly for supporting a trailer has a drive mechanism for vertically extending and retracting a telescopic support (11). The drive mechanism has a two-speed gearing provided by gears on parallel input and output shafts which are axially relatively movable to change between the first and second speeds. In particular a drive gear (85) mounted coaxially on the input shaft (75) has an internal splined or toothed keying conformation (84), and a corresponding keying conformation (83) such as a smaller drive gear on the input shaft (75) can be slid into engagement with this for the second speed. Rotation of the horizontal output shaft (62) is converted to rotation around the vertical axis for operation of the support (11) by means of a bevel pinion (74) on the output shaft (60) engaging a corresponding bevel gear (34) of the conversion mechanism (25,26) in the support (11). The drive gears (72,73) on the output shaft (60) can be formed in one piece with the bevel pinion (74) on the same shaft. <IMAGE>

On the core opposite face the air leaves through angularly spaced angular sectors (3) alternating with gas inlet angular sectors (4). The core is formed by winding a pair of sheets around an axis (z). One sheet is longitudinally rippled whilst the other sheet is transversely rippled. The first sheet has three axial ripple zones near the edges and a central zone. The other sheet is also rippled on these same three zones and also has inlet-outlet zones, with its edges alternately curved to form fluid inlet-outlet scoops.
