Patent EP-0804911-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VANNEY GUY P
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: An apparatus for manipulating an annuloplasty ring implantation device during implantation includes an elongated handle having a proximal end for grasping by a surgeon and a distal end. A locking surface is provided adjacent the distal end of the elongated handle. - The elongated handle carries an engaging tip which extends distally from the locking surface. A locking key extends radially from the engaging tip. The annuloplasty ring implantation device includes an engaging tip opening formed therein adapted for receiving the engaging tip. A key slot is defined in the implantation device and extends radially from the engaging tip opening. The engaging tip and locking key may be inserted into the device at the engaging tip opening and key slot. The elongated handle is locked to the device by inserting the engaging tip and rotating the handle relative to the device such that the locking key and key slot are not aligned. This causes the device to be locked between the locking key and the locking surface. The annuloplasty ring implantation device is an annuloplasty ring holder or a annuloplasty ring sizer template.

Abstract: A process is provided for producing a colored fine
particulate composition by dissolving or dispersing a
coloring matter or a coloring matter and charge control
agent in a condensation-polymerized resin component and
forming the resultant resin composition into fine particles.
The coloring matter or the coloring matter and
charge control agent are added to a raw material component
for the production of the resin component, or to
the resin component in a period from initiation to completion
of polymerization of the resin component or
while the resin component is in a molten state subsequent
to the completion of the polymerization,
whereby the coloring matter or the coloring matter and
charge control agent are dissolved or dispersed in the
resulting resin component. A colored composition obtained
subsequent to the dissolution or the dispersion
is cooled. The colored composition so cooled is then
formed into fine particles.

Abstract: During the composting process for a charge of organic waste materials, the decomposing matter features a number of physico-chemical parameters which indicate the progress and condition of the composting process. One or more of these physico-chemical process parameters is monitored by appropriate instrumentation which together with information on the outputs or products gives an indication of the rate at which the conversion process is progressing. The physico-chemical values determined representing the progress of the composting process are measured at different time intervals, and are compared with each other. If a parameter change results in an increase in the conversion ratio, the parameter change is reinforced. If the parameter change results in a decrease in the conversion ratio, the parameter change is reduced. In addition to the physico-chemical parameters measured, the quantity of the end-product or that of a conversion process is measured is measured to provide an indication of the conversion efficiency.

Abstract: An illuminated button including a key button (4) and an
electroluminescent light (EL: 14) for backlighting the key
button (4) from its bottom. The key button (4) is composed
of a silicone rubber material mixed with white color
particles (4a) which prevent, while the EL (14) is
inoperative, a pink light reflected off the EL (14) from
being projected to the outside through the key button (4).
This makes possible to solve a problem of a conventional
illuminated button, which includes a key button and a white
light EL used as a backlight, in that the pink color of the
EL is seen from the outside through the key button, and
this impairs the beauty of the illuminated button.

Abstract: In a tool for boosting (jump starting) a vehicle, it is know that there is
a battery as a power source and booster cables to bring the energy to the
engine. In this invention, the battery and the cables are incorporated into one
unit which includes the battery, the cables and protective holsters (housing) to
lodge the cables. The holsters are an integral part of the unit and swivel at
90° (degrees) to permit easy access. In this way, everything can be carried in
one hand. Also, because the unit can be easily placed close to the engine, the
cables can be much shorter than regular booster cables. It is easier to use
since there are only two connections to make instead of four. Finally, the
holsters, which house the booster clips protect the user from short circuits.

Abstract: A dispatch mechanism is provided for dispatching data units, (e.g. datagrams or
packets) divided into one or more fragments, via a telecommunications network. The
dispatch mechanism includes a queue for queuing fragments for transmission. It further
includes a queue controller operable when a fill level of the queue exceeds a threshold
value to discard fragments of data units for which a fragment has not already been
queued and to add to the queue fragments of data units for which a fragment has already
been queued. The dispatch mechanism maintains a record of data units which are to be
transmitted (that is when one fragment of the data unit has already been passed for
despatch) and a record of data units which are to be dropped (that is data units for which
a fragment has already been dropped). The dispatch mechanism enables more effective
use of network capacity by reducing the possibility of incomplete data units being
transmitted over the network. In other words, where one data unit fragment is dropped,
a mechanism ensures that all remaining fragments of that data unit are dropped. Also,
where one data unit fragment has been sent, the mechanism ensures that all other
fragments for that data unit are sent, irrespective of the fill level of the output queue
when a data fragment for transmission is processed.

Abstract: The method involves controlling a coolant pump of a combustion engine, whereby a heat quantity to be conducted is determined from at least one motor operating parameter, and a pulse width modulation of a control signal for a nominal number of revolutions of the coolant pump is produced in dependence on the heat quantity. The signal is examined for errors through comparisons with a predefined nominal signal range. If an error of the signal is determined, an emergency program for the coolant pump is performed, otherwise the number of revolutions of the coolant pump is regulated in response to the produced signal.
