Patent EP-1234117-B1 (EP)
Inventor: VALEMBOIS GUY
IPC: B64G1/64

Abstract: The mechanism includes a low melting point material (300) such as paraffin or a eutectic alloy, at least one electric or highly exothermal pyrotechnical composition heater (400), and a device suitable for throttling the low melting point material (300) in the liquid state, after the heater is actuated, thus performing a shock-absorbing function. The device further includes at least two concentric surfaces (154, 216; 152, 218) defining, a set of clearances between them and provided respectively on ring and piston parts (150, 200) that are capable of moving in order to throttle the low melting point material (300) through the set of clearances defined between the concentric surfaces. - Before an electrical initiator (180) is used to initiate the pyrotechnical composition, the soldered connection constituted by the low melting point metal at the interfaces between a cylindrical part 156 and the middle diameter piston segment (216) and between the another cylindrical part 152 and the largest diameter piston segment (218), and also the solid phase of this metal situated inside the a chamber (310), provides reliable and effective blocking of the structure ensuring that two assemblies (100 and 200) are prevented from moving relative to each other, with a ring (150) being prevented from moving relative to a body (110) and to a plug (130). In this position, the small section (214) of the piston (200) can emerge at least in part to the outside of the assembly (100). When the electrical initiator (180) is powered, the pyrotechnical composition is triggered to rapidly raises the temperature of the metal to melt it, thereby releasing the piston relative to the assembly (100). The gas coming from the chemical reaction of the pyrotechnical composition causes the chamber (220) to expand and thus moves the piston away from the plug in translation along the axis O-O. This displacement of the piston reduces the volume of the chamber (310) and thus transfers the low melting point metal by throttling it between the adjacent surfaces of the ring (150) and of the piston, thus performing a damping function on the movement. The low melting point metal then re-solidifies to reconstitute the solder connection and finally block the device in a new state in which the piston extends further from the second end of the body (100) than it did in the initial state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the sterilisation of packaging containers, in particular, bottles, whereby a mixing jet is simultaneously, separately fed with a fluid disinfecting agent and steam. The mixed stream, emanating from the mixing jet, of nebulised and/or vaporised disinfecting agent and steam is led directly onto and into the packaging container. Said method is easily achieved, works reliably and permits a reliable sterilisation of packaging containers with a relatively narrow opening.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés à effectuer une reprise après défaillance dans un dispositif médical implanté. Les modes de réalisation décrits permettent de réduire le risque de laisser un dispositif médical implanté dans un état indésirable lorsque les conditions durant la programmation du dispositif médical implanté changent de façon inattendue. Dans un mode de réalisation exemplaire, la reprise après défaillance dans un dispositif implanté est facilitée lorsqu'une liaison de communications utilisant un système de communications médical comprenant un programme d'application est interrompue. Le procédé de reprise après défaillance consiste à établir une liaison de communications entre le système de communications médical et un module prolongateur configuré pour recevoir un mandataire du programme d'application. Le mandataire est alors chargé dans le module prolongateur par l'intermédiaire du programme d'application. Le mandataire est configuré pour faire passer le dispositif implanté à un état initial en réponse à un ensemble de conditions. Le dispositif implanté passe alors à un état fini par l'intermédiaire du programme d'application, pendant que le passage à l'état fini est surveillé. Le dispositif implanté est automatiquement remis à l'état initial par le mandataire lorsque l'ensemble de conditions est détecté lors du passage à l'état fini.
