Patent EP-0556102-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BUDET PASCAL
IPC: B24B39/04
Filed: 1993-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for roll-burnishing intended to introduce superficial compressive stresses into metallic parts. In accordance with the invention, the surface finish of the zone of the part (P) which is to undergo the roll-burnishing is first measured, and the width of the roller (G) to be used for the roll-burnishing is deduced therefrom; next, the roller thus selected is positioned on the tool holder (PO), at the end of the associated flexion bar; this roller thus put in place is then applied against the part (P) by exerting, on the said roller, a predetermined load which is a function of the desired superficial compressive stresses; the aforementioned roller is finally used to proceed with the actual roll-burnishing of the part (P). The roll-burnishing process according to the invention is particularly advantageous in the case of wheels made from lightweight alloy, for example made from aluminium or from magnesium. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Device for treating a gas by contacting with particles of solid materials, including a vertical reactor (14) in which the particles are suspended in the flow of gas, means (10) for separating the particles from the flow of gas, at its exit from the reactor, and means for recycling a fraction of the particles into the reactor. In order to prevent the formation of fines during the handling of the recycled particles and to improve the performance of the device, the reactor consists of a vertical pipe segment whose lower part plunges into a bed of particles held in the fluidised state, the gases to be treated are conveyed into the reactor through a vertical pipe (26) penetrating into the lower part of the reactor, through the base (15) of the container (12) containing the fluidised bed, and means (20, 34) for adjusting the level of the fluidised bed are provided to maintain, above the upper end of the said pipe, the free surface of the fluidised bed formed in the volume contained between the latter and the lower part of the reactor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device that indicates a change in a position, enabling a mailbox with a delivery signal device to be constructed. The invention relates to a device such that it is possible to determine by a mere glance and even from a distance of several metres, for example from one's car, and therefore without going to open one's mailbox, whether anything has been deposited in it. It consists of a housing (1) made of a transparent material and composed of two halves comprising a hole of appropriate diameter for the passage of the eccentric (2/3 1/3) spindle (2) of the mobile part (3). The housing (1) will be fixed externally to the flap of the mailbox by means of a double-sided adhesive (4). A block (5) prevents the mobile part (3) from turning fully and keeps it in a certain very unstable position. As soon as the flap is raised, the mobile part (3), impelled by the block (5), turns and presents to the eye the other side, which is coloured a different colour, thereby indicating that someone has raised the flap and deposited something in the mailbox. The device is reset by means of the wheels (8). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for detecting a change in a position, in the example above, adapted to providing a mailbox with a delivery signal device and for enabling a person at a glance to determine whether the mailbox is "empty or occupied". <IMAGE>

Abstract: Planetary reduction gearing comprising at least one stage made up of an input planet wheel (7) of spider gears (8, 9, 10) mounted on a spider (11) secured to an output shaft, and of a stationary crown wheel (sun gear) (12). The spider gears are mounted so that they float radially in the spider and the toothing of the meshing elements is offset so that the radial resultant of the forces exerted, on the one hand, between the crown wheel and the spider gears and, on the other hand, between the spider gears and the planet wheel, points either towards the planet wheel so as to reduce the noise of the reduction gearing or towards the weakest element so as to increase the load capacity of the reduction gearing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To condition ion exchange resins, clean water is recirculated via a bed (K, A) of the resin or resins to be purified. The clean water has a residual salt content below 50 ppb and a content of free acids or free bases below 5000 ppb. The organic and inorganic materials washed out of the resin or resins are removed by methods (OC, AK, MB) for continuously purifying water from the circulating water. The process can be applied for conditioning the ion exchange resins used in a plant for producing highly pure water. <IMAGE>

Title: Mechanism for actuating a vehicle parking brake.
Inventor: BUNKER GAVIN
IPC: B60T7/10
Filed: 1993-04-05
Abstract: The mechanism comprises a pivotable hand-operated actuating lever (101) which engages a drive plate (102) biased upright by a spring (122). The drive plate (102) moves an output rod (103) connected to a brake cable. The output rod (103) is held by a lock plate (104) which is released by a push rod (110) passing through the lever (101). THe linkage (115, 117) between the lever (101) and the drive plate (102) prevents the lever from returning to its lowered position when the brake has been applied. A spring (162) returns the lever (101) to its lowered position when the brake is released. The mechanism automatically adjusts for variation in the brake cable tension by the action of the spring (122) on an abutment plate (130) fixed to the end of the output rod (103). Additional self adjustment mechanisms are described (figures 4 to 7). Further hand or foot operated brake actuating mechanisms are also described (figures 1 to 3 and figure 10), together with additional hydraulic or manually operated mechanisms for release of the lock plate (104). A mechanism is described which signals that the brake has been applied (figure 11). A "soft-release" mechanism (figure 12) and a release damper (figure 14) are also described.

Title: Bystander effect tumoricidal therapy.
Inventor: CULVER KENNETH W
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 1993-05-03
Abstract: A method for treating an tumor involves the initial identification of the tumor as one displaying a "bystander effect," whereby in vivo transfer of a gene conferring sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agent affects both transformed and non-transformed tumor cells. Into a tumor thus characterized is introduced in situ a retroviral vector containing the sensitizing gene. The retroviral vector, which may replication-defective or replication-competent, can be introduced directly (if it is replication-competent) or can be provided by means of a packaging cell line. Treatment of the patient with the chemotherapeutic agent thereafter effects tumor regression when as few as 10% of tumor cells are transformed, while normal tissue is not damaged. The anti-tumor impact of the treatment can be increased when the transducing vector also encodes an immune response-enhance substance such as IL-2 or another cytokine.

Abstract: A compression-moldable composition comprising an active ingredient, an excipient and an oily or fatty substance having a lower melting point of about 20 to 90°C is compression-molded into uncoated tablets without coating to improve the abrasion resistance. The oily or fatty substance includes a higher fatty acid or a salt thereof, a wax, a fatty acid ester, a hardened oil, a polyalkylene oxide, etc., and the amount thereof is about 0.01 to 10% by weight. The composition may comprise (1) a granulated powder containing the active ingredient and the excipient, and the powdery or granular oily or fatty substance having a lower melting point, or (2) a granulated powder containing the active ingredient, the excipient and said oily or fatty substance. Compression-molding of the composition improves the abrasion resistance of the tablet and significantly inhibits the development of powder by wearing or abrasion even when the oily or fatty substance is used in a small amount of about 0.1 to 0.5% by weight.
