Abstract: A device is described to facilitate self-catheterisation in women who have an atonic bladder. The device comprises a body portion for insertion in the vagina, a locating member which lies substantially at right angles to the body portion and is intended to engage against the outside of the vagina, and a handle member on the locating member. The body portion has or is associated with a passageway one end of which is intended to engage against the mouth of the urethra and the other end of which is intended to receive the leading end of a catheter which can thus be guided into the urethra to facilitate self-catheterisation. A locating and measuring device for use in the construction or selection of the self-catheterisation device is also described.

Title: Sliding door for showers
IPC: A47K3/34
Filed: 1990-02-07
Granted: 1993-05-12
Abstract: The invention describes a sliding door (10) for showers, which has a frame and a plurality of sliding door leaves (11, 12, 13). The sliding door leaves (11, 12, 13), which are guided displaceably on the upper beam (15) of the frame, are all set obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of displacement determined by the upper beam (15), such that only a small dimension results in relation to the transverse dimensions of the entire package of sliding door leaves (11 to 13) which have been pushed together. The overall design can thus be of relatively small and delicate construction. The frame profiles can be of correspondingly small dimensions without the risk of the sliding door leaves (11 to 13) projecting laterally beyond these frame profiles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A field-based movement sensor adapted for measuring strain along a certain axis in an object on which the sensor is attached. The sensor includes a substrate having a working surface and formed with a pair of fingers projecting from a first direction, and a third finger projecting from a direction opposite the first direction, to a position between the pair of fingers. The pair of fingers and third finger extend generally perpendicular to the axis along which strain is to be measured, with the pair of fingers being moveable with respect to the third finger along the axis when the strain occurs. An electrically charged element for producing an electric field is disposed on the working surface of the third finger, and a pair of field-effect transistors (FETS) are each disposed on a working surface of a different one of the pair of fingers. As the object is subjected to strain causing the pair of fingers to move relative to the third finger, the variations in the strength of the electric field from the charged elements to the FETS is determined and this provides a measure of the variation in distance between the third finger and the pair of fingers and this, in turn, provides a measure of the strain in the object to which the substrate is attached.

Abstract: The invention comprises the use of a memory (MCT) in which to each virtual cell-routing circuit is allocated a location containing a context (CT), defining the conditions for evaluating the bit rate of this virtual circuit and provides, upon the reception of each cell, for the reading of the context of the virtual circuit to which this cell belongs, with a view to evaluating the bit rate of this virtual circuit. The invention further comprises the use of a clock (BC) set aside in order to supply a current time associated with this virtual circuit. 
<??>A start time indicator is recorded in the context (CT) of a virtual circuit and, upon the arrival of a cell of this virtual circuit, the context is read, from the current time, supplied at that moment by the clock, is subtracted the start time supplied by the context read, and the time difference thus established constitutes a measurement of instantaneous bit rate of the virtual circuit, defined as the time interval which has elapsed between two cells, this measurement of instantaneous bit rate being supplied to evaluation means (BT), whereas the current time is then recorded in the context, in the guise of start time.

Abstract: In order to produce a thoroughly pasteurized growth substrate or manure the raw material is brought to pass through a perforated, tubular heating kiln (28), in which it is heated to some 90-100 DEG C, this being a dangerously high temperature with respect to ignition of the material and the gases developed therefrom. For eliminating the ignition risk the inlet and outlet ends of the tubular kiln (28) are blocked for entrance of atmospheric air, such that the atmosphere inside the kiln is maintained highly humid and low on oxygen. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A preparation for transdermal drug administration comprising a flexible backing layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a local anesthetic in a proportion of 40-65 weight%. Since the ratio of the amount of the undissolved local anesthetic (Ac) to that of the dissolved local anesthetic (As), Ac/As, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is determined to be in the range of 0.1-1.8, the preparation for transdermal drug administration of the present invention is superior in self-adhesiveness and leaves no adhesive material upon removal from the skin. In addition, burst-like release of the undissolved drug from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer immediately after application to the skin permits rapid appearance of the anesthetic effect, which enables wide clinical application of the preparations of the present invention.

Abstract: It is constituted by a complex comprising two woven textile structures (1, 2), imprisoning between them a deformable meshed bracing reinforcement (5) based on yarns having high mechanical performance. The connecting of the outer woven fabrics (1, 2) is obtained by means of a layer of material having a shear modulus permitting it to break when a force is applied to the bracing reinforcement, the threads of which preserve a displacement latitude, without breaking, during the action of a force exerted through the complex in a direction parallel to its surface, and such that, during this action, the meshed yarns are displaced and bear in succession against each other until offering a resistance opposing any progression of the said force.

Abstract: A transaction managing system is described in which transaction commands must be routed to appropriate resource managers. The transaction managing system first determines the identity of the target resource from the transactions commands, and compares this with all the resources that it knows it manages itself. If the target resource is managed by the transaction processing system itself, then the transaction command is passed to a resource manager within the transaction managing system itself. If the transaction managing system does not recognise the resource then it sends a query message to each external resource manager to determine if any of these recognise the resource. If one of the external resource managers send an ownership message back to the transactions managing system admitting ownership of the target resource then the transaction command is passed to that external resource manager for processing.
