Abstract: Anti-decubitus air mattresses are known, but they have the disadvantage that they must be pumped up hard so that the patient's body does not press through onto the hard support. The invention provides a patient support in the form of an air mattress on which the patient gently floats, as if on water, without any part of the body pressing through onto the harder bed mattress. This effect is achieved by virtue of the fact that the entire patient support is divided up into transversely extending, soft air cushions which are independent of one another. In this way, the patient's body is suspended in a floating position. The bearing surface is in this way greatly increased, and the bearing pressure is greatly reduced. In addition, accentuated pressure spots are avoided, because the cushioning air is displaced by particularly heavy and bony body parts and is not compressed. The invention provides these advantages without using alternating pressure devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The process and associated equipment make use of at least one prefiring according to the principle of low-temperature carbonisation gas post-combustion with suction draught ventilation. The aim of the invention is to produce a process together with associated equipment, the use of which limits the harmful flue gas components, which arise during combustion of low-quality fuels, to a minimum. According to the invention, this is achieved with a process, together with associated equipment, in which, in a first stage before the high-pressure  boiler, an alkaline vapour is blown into the low- temperature carbonisation gas flow supplied by the prefiring or into the low-temperature carbonisation gas flame, which vapour is obtained by mixing a mist of very fine droplet form from a preferably saturated lime-milk solution with saturated vapour. The supply of the alkaline vapour is effected in this connection in such a manner that it mixes through completely with the low-temperature carbonisation gas flow at the same time as it enters the region of the highest flame temperature and the lime contained reacts with the harmful sulphur compounds to form wet-collectable components. The thus increased solids content in the flue gas and also the harmful sulphur compounds still contained are removed from the flue gas to a great extent in a second, combined dust and sulphur removal installation after the high-pressure boiler. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus wherein there is provided a source (11) of fiber forming material, with said fiber forming material being pumped into a die (23) having a plurality of spinnerets about its periphery. The die (23) is rotated at a predetermined adjustable speed, whereby the liquid is expelled from the die (23) so as to form fibers (25). It is preferred that the fiber forming material be cooled as it is leaving the holes in the spinnerets during drawdown. The fibres (25) may be used to produce fabrics, fibrous tow and yarn through appropriate take-up systems. The pumping system (14) provides a pumping action whereby a volumetric quantity of liquid is forced into the rotational system independent of viscosity or the back pressure generated by the spinnerets and the manifold system of the spinning head, thus creating positive displacement feeding. Positive displacement feeding may be accomplished by the extruder alone or with an additional pump of the type generally employed for this purpose. A rotary union is provided for positive sealing purposes during the pressure feeding of the fiber forming material into the rotating die (23).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling the operating temperatures and differential temperature of a curie effect temperature sensing switch is disclosed. The temperature switch is adapted to provide temperature control of a cold plate in a reagent refrigerator. The temperature switch activates cold plate cooling devices when the cold plate temperature is above a first operating temperature and deactivates the cold plate cooling devices when the cold plate temperature is below a second operating temperature. An electromagnet is fixed external of and relative to the temperature switch so that the strength of the external magnetic field sets the operating temperatures of the temperature switch. A potentiometer is used to incrementally vary the current supplied to the electromagnet to thereby incrementally adjust the strength of the external magnetic field and the operating temperatures. A microprocessor may be provided to adjust the voltage supply of the potentiometer, which allows remote control of the operating temperatures. A second potentiometer is connected to the electromagnet so that it incrementally adjusts the current passed to the electromagnet as a function of whether the temperature switch is open or closed. Incremental adjustment of the second potentiometer provides incremental adjustment of the temperature differential. A monitor provides a warning signal if the temperature switch does not open and close within a predetermined time interval.

Abstract: An isolating mount, such as for an engine, comprises a rigid bushing (10) with a resilient rubber block (12) molded around it and cavities (25, 26) formed in the block opening to its exterior on opposite sides of the bushing, preferably located along a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bushing. End plates (34, 35) are bonded to the block surrounding the open ends of the cavities, and these plates may have flanges (37) thereon coated with rubber. Optional floor plates (75) may be incorporated in the block at the bottoms of one or both cavities. Covers (45,46) are held in sealed relation overthe cavities, as by forming the flanges around the covers to retain them. A passage (40) is formed between the cavities, and the cavities and passage are filled with a liquid which is confined therewithin. Displacement of the block in response to forces acting on the mount will result in distortion of the cavities and corresponding displacement of the liquid from one of the cavities to the other to damp motion of the block. A rigid outer body (51, 52) surrounds the block and exerts a compressive force thereon primarily in a direction along the plane through the cavities. The flanges have their rubber coating in contact with the interior of the outer body, thus there is a rigid to resilient material interface between the bushing and the block, and a second rigid to risilient material interface between the block and the outer body of the mount.
