Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement in a surgical drape. A prime characteristic feature of the arrangement is that it consists of a separate sheet assembly comprising an apertured attachment sheet (9), which is intended to be fastened over the area of a patient within which a surgical procedure is to be carried out, and a protective sheet (10) which has a working aperture (12) located therein and which is provided in a region around the aperture with means for firmly fastening the protective sheet to the attachment sheet at the aforementioned region, such that the aperture in the attachment sheet (9) lies opposite the working aperture (10) in register therewith. This region of the protective sheet around the aperture is preferably rectangular in configuration and has the same shape and size as a working aperture (8) in the surgical drape. Priorto putting the arrangement into use, the protective sheet (10) is folded to a shape which fills an area congruent with the aforesaid region. Subsequent to positioning the surgical drape so that the working aperture (8) thereof is in register with and surrounds the folding protective sheet (10), the sheet can be opened out through the working aperture (8) and optionally fastened to the outwardly facing surface of the drape with the aid of fastener means (14, 15). That side of the attachment sheet (9) which is to face upwards when in use may be coated with a bonding agent externally of the region thereof joined to the protective sheet, thereby enabling a multi-part surgical drape to be fastened around the folded protective sheet.

Abstract: Gel beads of microbial cells or enzyme enclosed in gels are produced by forming a surface liquid stream of a gelling agent flowing from the center toward the peri­pheral wall of a vessel (1) containing the gelling agent on the liquid surface of the gelling agent by a rotor (4), dispersing a colloidal suspension of microbial cells or enzyme in a colloidal solution into a droplet state by an­other rotor (5) and allowing the dispersed droplets to fall onto the surface liquid stream, thereby contacting the droplets with the gelling agent. The bead size of gel beads can be adjusted by adjusting the number of revolution of the rotor, and gel beads of smaller bead size can be produced in a mass production scale without any problem of nozzle clogging and without using a number of nozzles of smaller size.

Abstract: A valve (10) has two tubular pieces (12, 18) which each have an inlet stub (14) or outlet stub (20) and the opposite ends sealed. Deformation of the sealed ends produces adjacent planar surfaces (16, 22, 24) which are provided with a threaded hole (26) and through holes (28, 30) coaxial with the latter, respectively. In the threaded hole (26), a threaded sleeve (32) accommodating the bottom part (48) of a valve engages; this sleeve contains a valve seat (36) and downstream of the valve seat has through holes (60) to the outlet stub (20). By loosening the screwed joint between the threaded hole (26) and the threaded sleeve (32) it is possible to form, in addition to a straightway valve, any desired angle valve. A static seal can be obtained by subsequent screwing tight with sealing rings (42, 44, 46) inserted between. <IMAGE>

Title: Electrical filter
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN BARRY
IPC: H03H11/12
Filed: 1986-02-10
Abstract: A continuous time electrical filter fabricated as an integrated circuit includes capacitors (CO,CN) and resistors (R<sub>1</sub>,R2). Since capacitors and resistors are difficult to integrate with accurately defined values a trimming circuit is provided which operates switches (S1-SN) to select appropriate ones of the capacitors (CN) to accurately define the cut-off frequency of the filter.The trimming circuit comprises a capacitor (TC2) which is charged through a resistor TR1 during a first period and which is discharged in incremental steps by capacitor (TC1). The number of incremental steps is counted by a counter (11) and transferred to a register (13). The outputs (S1-SN) of the register (13) control the switches (S1-SN). Instead of adjusting the value of the capacitors in the filter the values of the resistors may be adjusted. If this is done a convenient procedure is to short out selected portions of the resistors. More than one capacitor or resistor may be adjusted using a single counter and register.

Abstract: An electrical design system is described which integrates many analysis and synthesis tools in an environment of top-down circuit layout. The system allows electrical design in numerous technologies, including nMOS, CMOS, bipolar, printed circuit boards and others. Technologies and analysis or synthesis tools may be added or deleted easily, and different technologies may be employed in a single design. The system includes a database manager which maintains all information regarding the design of the circuit, and which is accessed by all of the analysis and synthesis tools to enable them to examine and modify the design. 
     The database Itself is structured as a network of electrically connected and geometrically described components. Each component in the database is considered a node, and connections among components are considered as arcs. Changes are permitted only to nodes, and constraints are imposed only upon arcs. When components are changed, the effects of the changes are propagated to surrounding components by the arcs. In this manner the database manager insures that the circuit remains properly connected throughout the design process while allowing the propagation of changes up and down the hierarchy.
