Abstract: A method and apparatus for feeding iron-bearing particles into a metallurgical furnace such as an electric arc furnace, comprising a molten iron holding vessel (10), having a wall (12) extending above said molten iron, a preferably screw type feeder (40) mounted on the exterior of said vessel (10), a feeding port (50) in said wall shaped to permit passage of said feeder into the interior of said vessel (10) and located at such a height from said molten iron so that no molten materials will spill out from said furnace through said port during the normal operation and maneuvering of said furnace; and actuating means (44) for extending said screw type feeder (40) from a retracted position out of the vessel to an extended position into said vessel. Said iron-bearing particles are charged at a point proximate to said molten iron, and at the same time are positively pushed into the slag layer (20) in the direction of the molten iron and also of the hottest zone of the furnace whereby the overall productivity of the furnace is increased. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for adding to a concrete mixer a desired quantity of fibre cut e.g. of plastic. The apparatus comprises a concrete mixer (5), a magazine (16) for storing a number of spools (15) with fibre string (12), and a cutter (9) for advancing during the dry mixing the fibre string and cutting it into predetermined lengths which are fed to the concrete mixture in an even and uniform flow. The apparatus also comprises at least one sensor (20) for sensing the feeding speed of the fibre string and giving off signal to a control unit (not shown) which again controls the feeding speed. By way of the invention it is possible to achieve a far more even and more uniform distribution of the plastic fibres in the finished concrete than known before, whereby the material improving properties of the plastic fibres are optimally exploited. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A thin film wound dressing that is particularly easy to position accurately and apply smoothly to form an occlusive seal comprises three layers: a first wound covering layer being permeable to gases and water vapor while being impermeable to microbes and liquids; a second adhesive layer intimately disposed on the first layer for use in occlusively attaching the invention to skin or wound surfaces; and a third release backing layer disposed on the second adhesive layer. The release backing layer has a functionally contiguous or integral pull-tab attached in a manner that creates a substantially U-shaped release backing/pull-tab assembly. The release backing and pull-tab portions of the assembly are highly flexible while also being highly resistant to elongation to facilitate the smooth and wrinkle-free application of the first and second layers to skin or wound surfaces and formation of an occlusive, microbe and liquid impermeable barrier. The various layers of the invention are preferably transparent to light and may be impregnated or coated with antiseptics, antimicrobials or other medically active substances. The wound dressing is provided in non-polygonal shapes that eliminate redundant surface area and increase the effective adhesion to anatomic surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a process for detecting, assessing, grading and diagnosing heart conditions in human beings. The system includes a device for providing or generating an acoustic blood flow signal and a signal representative of the electrical activity of a subject's heart. The device for providing the acoustic blood flow (MCG) signal may be a transducer or microphone attached to the patient, or in the alternative, an acoustic signal stored in a storage device. The device for providing the electrical activity (ECG) signal may be an electrocardiogram device attached to the subject or a stored ECG signal. The ECG signal is conditioned in a conditioning circuit to provide a timing or calibration signal having QRS spikes at the onset of each systolic portion of a heart cycle. The MCG signal passes through its own conditioning circuit to filter out unwanted noise and to amplify low frequency sounds. The timing signal and the MCG signal are fed into a microprocessor wherein the MCG signal is converted in a spectral pattern of heart sounds and matched with the timing signal. The output from the microprocessor is a combined, real time MCG pattern/ECG wave signal which may be displayed on a video monitor, which may be put into hard copy form, and/or which may be stored on a storage device.

Date Jan. 19, 1995In a digital time division multiple access (TDMA) radio system, the transmission times of mobile stations in a cell are advanced in relation to the base station of the cell each by a timing advance which compensates for the transmission delay caused by the distance between the base station and the respective mobile station. Part of the radio capacity of the cell is arranged to serve only within a first given timing advance range, and thereby to serve mobile stations located within a first given area of the cell, and another part of the radio capacity is arranged to serve only within a second given timing advance range, which is different from the first timing advance range, and thereby to serve mobile stations located with a second given area of the cell. The first and second areas may partially overlap. Handoffs between channels of the capacity are accomplished on the basis of exceeding or falling below threshold timing advance values.

As cut by dies (A, B, C, D), the blanks may be at different spacings from the mould cavities (4), their spacing then being adjusted to suit the cavities as they are held after cutting and/or collected for transfer to the mould. Alternatively, a group of blanks (Y, Y1, Z, Z1) may be cut in which the number of blanks is a multiple of the number of mould cavities (4) and there are sets of blanks in the group each having blanks of corresponding spacing and configuration to the mould cavities. The sets are transferred in turn to the mould for successive moulding operations.

Abstract: The present invention discloses collagen-synthetic polymer matrices which are prepared using a multiple step reaction. The first step of the reaction generally involves reacting collagen with a functionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer to form a collagen-synthetic polymer matrix. The synthetic hydrophilic polymer may be mono- or multifunctionally activated, but is preferably difunctionally activated, resulting in the formation of a crosslinked collagen matrix. The second step comprises modifying the collagen-synthetic polymer matrix according to one or more of the following methods: further crosslinking the matrix using a multifunctionally activated synthetic polymer, conjugating the matrix using a monofunctionally activated synthetic polymer, coupling biologically active molecules or glycosaminoglycans to the matrix, crosslinking the matrix using conventional chemical crosslinking agents, or modifying the collagen in the matrix by means of various chemical reactions. An optional third step may include further modification of the collagen-synthetic polymer matrix by covalently binding, for example, biologically active molecules or glycosaminoglycans to the matrix by means of available active groups on the synthetic hydrophilic polymers. Collagen-synthetic polymer matrices prepared according to the methods of the present invention have very low immunogenicity and can therefore be used to prepare biocompatible implants for use in a variety of medical applications. <IMAGE>
