Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un anneau dilatable pour annuloplastie. Cet anneau peut être élargi, in situ, par l'application d'une pression de dilatation à l'aide d'un ballonnet ou de tout autre appareil de dilatation. L'anneau dilatable pour annuloplastie selon l'invention peut être utilisé en pédiatrie sur des sujets dont la croissance, après l'implant chirurgical de l'anneau, nécessitera d'élargir ultérieurement l'anneau pour s'adapter à la croissance de l'anneau de la valvule. L'invention concerne également un procédé transluminal et/ou transeptal pour l'agrandissement après implantation de l'anneau pour annuloplastie à l'aide d'un cathéter.

Abstract: An improved electromagnetic transducer able to produce more power per mass than a conventional transducer. This increased power per mass is made possible by combining a properly designed housing, a neodymium magnet and a dual coil structure. This design dissipates the heat generated by the transducer, increasing the efficiency and power of the transducer. Also, by dissipating heat more efficiently, the transducer can be made smaller and more powerful than conventional transducers.

Abstract: L'invention décrit des compositions arrêtant l'eau et des procédés pour préparer ces dernières. Lesdites compositions présentent un gonflement ou une dilatation volumique contrôlés lors de leur immersion dans l'eau. Ces compositions gonflent d'environ 5 à 8 % au bout de 1 jour d'immersion et d'environ 35 à 65 % au bout de 28 jours d'immersion. Un mélange d'argile bentonitique sodique à action rapide et d'argile bentonitique calcique à action plus lente ainsi qu'une combinaison spécifique d'élastomère thermoplastique, de constituants de butylcaoutchouc réticulé et de polyisobutylène, contribuent à cette dilatation contrôlée souhaitée. Un autre facteur important pour obtenir la dilatation souhaitée est une étape de mélange homogène pour assurer l'homogénéité du produit, au cours de laquelle les constituants du mélange sont mélangés dans un mélangeur à caoutchouc pour un laps de temps supplémentaire après que tous les constituants ont été ajoutés au mélangeur.

Abstract: The invention relates to indicator ink compositions that contain a water-based dispersion of a phenol-formaldehyde resin, at least one colorant and an amine-terminated catalyst. These indicator ink compositions are fixed to a surface, such as by drying, and respond to specific conditions of time, temperature, humidity, pressure and the presence or absence of certain chemicals by changing color. Compositions provide a means for detecting exposure to a predetermined condition and can be fixed or otherwise attached to nearly any article or designed into patterns on materials. Exposure of the indicator ink to the specific condition, the indicator ink provides a permanent detectable record of the event. Further, by varying the amount of amine-terminated catalyst in the formulation, the specific conditions at which the indicator composition will change color can be altered. Such compositions are specifically useful for determining the effectiveness of a sterilization process.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a carpet for automobiles, which is composed of an integral combination of a foamed body and a carpet fiber composition and has a three-dimensional shape. The manufacturing method of the invention comprises the steps of directly applying a mixed foaming liquid to a back surface of a carpet fiber composition with a spraying system, placing the carpet fiber composition in a mold, which is composed of an upper mold and a lower mold defining therein a spacing corresponding to a three-dimensional shape of the carpet, with the mixed foaming liquid having undergone gaseous reaction but still in viscous fluidization, carrying out clamping with the upper mold and lower mold, and curing a layer of the foamed body layer formed integrally on the back surface of the carpet fiber composition. Fine particules of the mixed foaming liquid sprayed with a spraying system enter texture of the carpet fiber composition to adhere to fiber surfaces thereof while the adhering mixed foaming liquid is foamed by the gaseous reaction to expand, so that they remain at shallow portions inside the carpet fiber composition to foam without substantially permeating the composition deeper, whereby the foamed body unites with the carpet.

Abstract: Propylene is oxidized to propylene oxide in the vapor phase using an oxygen-containing gas and a supported silver catalyst comprising silver and a support comprised in whole or in substantial part of certain alkaline earth metal compounds. The alkaline earth metal compound may, for example, be a calcium compound such as calcium titanate, tribasic calcium phosphate, calcium molybdate, or calcium fluoride, a magnesium compound such as magnesium aluminate, or a strontium compound such as strontium titanate. Such supports provide significantly higher selectivity to the desired epoxide than would be expected from the performance of related materials. Propylene oxide selectivity may be further enhanced through the introduction of nitrogen oxide species such as NO, alkyl halides such as ethyl chloride, and carbon dioxide into the oxygen-containing gas.

Date Mar. 19, 1998Known designs of single-thread screw rotors in single-piece cast iron constructions having wrap angles of >720 degrees with balancing cavities on the face of the screw operate with no unbalance at average rotary frequencies of ( DIFFERENCE 3000 min-1). The use of a pump in processes having sensitive purity and maintenance requirements or working with corrosive substances or where limited space is available and quality is demanded, brings about problems for rotor designing and balancing, which the present invention solves. An uneven mass distribution is accomplished by constructing the rotors with several single parts inside the rotor, by forming cavities and/or by choosing the adequate material, which, combined with the screw length/pitch ratio, cause a static and dynamic balancing. Screw rotors designed as described offer several advantages since they are easy to assemble and have a compact and stable construction. Moreover, they can be used in pumps for the food industry, chemistry, medicine and semi-conductor construction due to the flexibility in material and to the smooth surfaces free from cavities.
