Patent EP-1017441-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BRIMHALL GREG L
IPC: A61M39/06
Filed: 1998-08-10
Abstract: An eccentric rotary high pressure seal is disclosed herein. This seal includes a valve body and a spring located in a housing. The spring biases the valve body to rotate. The valve body defines a longitudinally extending passage having dimensions sufficient to allow an introducer needle to pass therethrough. This passage is offset from the axis of the valve body. The valve body is located in a housing that will allow the valve body to rotate therein. The housing defines two longitudinally aligned openings that are offset from the axis of the housing. These two longitudinally aligned openings are oriented such that the passage in the valve body can be aligned with the openings located in the housing. In this manner, an introducer needle can extend into the housing and hold the valve body against the bias of the spring. Once the introducer needle is removed from the housing, the valve body is no longer held in place against the force of the spring. Therefore, the spring causes the valve body to rotate within the housing so that the passage in the valve body is not aligned with the two longitudinally aligned openings formed in the housing. This prevents fluid flow through the housing past the valve body once the introducer needle is removed therefrom.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'évaluation électrochimique de la concentration d'au moins une entité chimique dissoute dans un milieu liquide au moyen d'une électrode de travail WE et d'une contre-électrode CE par application d'une tension de mesure U sur l'électrode de travail WE par rapport à la contre-électrode, ladite entité chimique dissoute réagissant par oxydation ou réduction au niveau de l'électrode de travail, ladite réaction se traduisant par un courant évoqué de mesure. Ledit procédé consiste à comparer le courant évoqué de mesure IpO2 à une valeur préétablie Iset, à modifier la tension de mesure U d'une valeur (dU) de sorte que le courant de mesure IpO2 soit pratiquement égal à Iset, IpO2 présentant ainsi une valeur sensiblement constante au cours de ces mesures, à calculer une différence ΔU=U-Umin, qui correspond à une réaction d'oxydoréduction au niveau de l'électrode de travail, et à utiliser cette différence ΔU=U-Umin pour calculer les variations de concentration de la quantité de ladite entité chimique présente dans le liquide. Cette invention concerne également un appareil de mise en oeuvre du procédé décrit ci-dessus, ainsi qu'un implant actif du type stimulateur cardiaque ou analogue, qu'il est possible de raccorder à des électrodes implantables et qui comporte un organe de mesure mettant en oeuvre le procédé décrit ci-dessus.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for a diesel engine for attaining
a specially excellent combustion performance, specifically
comprising a notch part (20) formed in the retraction collar (16)
of a delivery valve (3), in addition to an Angleich cut(17), to
increase the communicating area of a fuel path (18) between a
high pressure chamber (7) and a force-feed chamber (11) according
to the lift of the delivery valve (3) so as to suppress the
retraction effect of the delivery valve (3) in order to prevent
a residual pressure in the high pressure chamber (7) from
excessively reducing particularly during high idling. An annular
groove (54) communicating with a lower lead (52) is formed in
the outer peripheral surface of a plunger (50), and a part of
fuel inside the force-feed chamber (11) is returned, during
force-feed process, to a fuel feed port (13) through the annular
groove (54) so as to increase the length of an injection period
in low and medium speed ranges to reduce combustion noises, and
to delay the injection timing under low idle condition to reduce
the emission of blue white smoke.

Abstract: In an image pickup device, a signal mixer 6 mixes
the image signals of different quantities of exposure
outputted by an image sensor 4. A peak level detector 12
detects a peak level of the mixed signal, and a peak level
judge 13 decides whether the peak level is within a
predetermined range or not. A controller 10 controls a
ratio of the quantities of exposure for the image sensor 4
according to the decision by the peak level judge. Thus,
the image pickup device has a good dynamic range in
correspondence a dynamic range of an object, and an object
image is reproduced well. Further, an iris device is also
controlled appropriately when the dynamic range is
controlled.
