IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2003-12-05
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système qui permettent d'inhiber sélectivement les fibres nerveuses somatiques d'un nerf mixte contenant des fibres nerveuses somatiques et autonomes, et qui sont utiles dans le traitement de la douleur chronique, des muscles spastiques et dans la commande sensorielle et motrice de la vessie. Les procédés et systèmes de l'invention font appel à des impulsions électriques rectangulaires de phase alternée. Un générateur d'impulsions électriques est couplé à un nerf.On applique d'abord une impulsion de faible amplitude et haute fréquence de phase alternée afin d'inhiber sélectivement les nerfs somatiques lorsqu'ils sont présents dans un nerf mixte. On applique ensuite une impulsion de forte amplitude et basse fréquence de phase alternée afin de stimuler les fibres nerveuses autonomes et, dans le cas de la racine sacrée, afin de permettre une évacuation contrôlée de la vessie et des intestins.

Title: Chemical treatments for fibers and wire-coated composite strands for molding fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite articles
Inventor: WOODSIDE ANDREW B
IPC: C08J5/06
Filed: 1997-08-07
Abstract: In one general aspect, the invention involves applying a chemical treatment to fibers, such as reinforcing fibers suitable for making a composite article, so as to size and/or preimpregnate the fibers. The chemical treatment has a relatively low viscosity and is substantially solvent-free and non-radiation curable. Heat energy may be employed to lower the viscosity and improve the wetting ability of the applied treatment and/or to increase the molecular weight of, or otherwise cure, the treatment with essentially no generation of solvent vapor. The treated fibers are used to form a composite strand, which may be subsequently processed in-line or off line into a composite article having fibers disposed in a polymeric matrix. Another general aspect relates to encased composite strands, in thread or pellet form, and to wire-coating methods and apparatus for making them. The strands are moldable into fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite articles. Each strand is made from fibers, including reinforcing fibers and optionally fibers of a matrix material, that are impregnated with a chemical treatment so that the treatment is disposed between substantially all of the fibers.

Title: Submerged sensor in metallurgical vessel
Inventor: VAN DER MAAT PAUL
IPC: G01K1/12
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: The invention describes a submerged sensor for use in a metallurgical vessel, such as a tundish. The sensor is positioned so that in use it is below a surface of a molten metal bath within the vessel. The sensor conveniently extends through the vessel wall and projects into the volume of the vessel. An upper end of the sensor is encased in a protective assembly. The protective assembly of the invention can be shaped so as to control the pattern of molten metal flow in the vessel or measure more accurately the molten metal exiting the vessel. Advantageously, the invention can combine the functionality required for flow pattern modification such as provided by a dam, impact pad or baffle, with the functionality required for a sensor. This combination reduces cost and complexity.
