Title: Method of testing components of pulsed droplet deposition apparatus
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 1989-12-20
Granted: 1993-06-16
Abstract: A method for testing body components of pulsed droplet deposition apparatus comprises applying a variable frequency voltage to the electrodes of each of a number of selected channel wall elements (24). The resulting impedance variations are used to determine the natural frequencies of the selected wall elements which, in turn, are used to determine whether the compliance ratios of the selected wall elements and the droplet liquid to be used therewith lies within a desired range of values.

Title: Plate folding device
IPC: B21D5/04
Filed: 1990-02-07
Granted: 1993-02-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to a plate folding device which comprises a folding blade (2) and a folding counter-blade (3) which can be moved mutually closer, wherein the blade is constituted by an element (11) for the abutment of a portion of the plate which is adjacent to its folding edge, and the counter-blade is constituted by a supporting cradle which accommodates a folding tool (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for feeding a catalytic slurry, especially a dilute catalytic slurry, into a polymerization reactor. The catalytic slurry is fed into one or more catalytic-slurry feeding containers (20a, 20b), wherein the catalytic slurry is mixed. The mixture is fed further from the feeding container (20a, 20b) under pressure into a batching space (16, 17) of a batching and feeding device (10), from which batching space the catalytic slurry is further uninterruptedly fed into the polymerization reactor by means of pressure of a medium fed by batches into said batching and feeding device (10). The catalytic slurry is continuously circulated via the batching and feeding device (10) back into the feeding container (20a, 20b) and that after each catalytic slurry batch fed into the polymerization reactor, the batching space (16, 17) is essentially totally emptied of the medium by leading the medium via a discharge channel (15) out of the batching and feeding device (10) before refilling the batching space (16, 17) with the catalytic slurry mixture.

Abstract: A method of testing integrated circuits at high operating speeds is provided which is applicable to sequential logic circuits such as ASICs. A general purpose ASIC tester applies test vectors to the integrated circuit under test. The logic input signals are held unchanged and a series of high speed clock signals (a clock burst) are applied to the clock terminals of the integrated circuit. These clock signals are provided at the speed at which it is desired to test the integrated circuit. Then the output terminals are observed to determined if the device is in the expected state (as determined by simulation) after the clock burst. The process is repeated until no further output terminals change state, and then the device may be reinitialized and another series of state changes initiated. Thus every path in the circuit may be tested at high speed by a conventional low speed tester. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A toothed belt drive consisting of a toothed belt and a toothed pulley engaging in the teeth of the latter, power being transmitted between the belt and the toothed pulley by the mutually contacting flanks of the teeth of the respective part of the toothed belt drive, is to be configured in such a way that the relatively high shear forces which occur when a high power is transmitted can be absorbed without premature damage to the toothed belt. 
<??>For this purpose, the invention provides that the belt teeth are each provided with an approximately conically tapering recess which starts from their top surface and the mutually facing walls (5a, 5b) have a curvature which corresponds to the curvature of the outer flanks of the belt tooth (3a, 3b), the size (G) of the recess allowing the inner walls of the recess to be designed as power-transmitting flanks, and a correspondingly designed projection of the belt pulley, the said projection being arranged between two pulley teeth, in each case engaging in the recess.

Abstract: In the area of its distal operational end, and in the area of a balloon (2) which is present there and which can be dilated to provide as uniform as possible a treatment of stenoses (3), which can also contain hard areas or structures (5), the catheter (1) has a sleeve (6) or film made of hard, resilient material, which sleeve (6) can be pressed against the stenosis (3) and the vessel wall by means of the dilation of the balloon (2). The hard material of the sleeve (6) prevents the balloon from missing the hard structures (5) by yielding to them, and prevents the hard structures (5) from remaining in place. By means of the protective covering (15) or the use of a resilient material for the sleeve (6), or the combination of these measures, it is possible to ensure that, when the balloon (2) returns to its initial shape, the sleeve (6) also returns automatically and independently to its initial position and to its initial size, so that it can again be removed easily, together with the catheter (1), from the vessel (4) or a hollow organ.
