Abstract: A surgical cast venting device comprises two elongate strips or two layers of flexible material, at least one of which is porous. The strips or layers are spaced apart from each other and extend parallel to each other. Flexible, solid spacer members are arranged between the two strips or layers and connect them together. These members form air passageways between adjacent spacers so that air is normally free to pass along the passageways. A moisture-absorbent fabric layer extends along an outer side of the porous strip or layer opposite the spacers. In an alternate version, there is a first strip which is porous and a series of substantially flat, flexible outer members arranged in a row from one end of the strip to an opposite end. The outer members are spaced from the strip and apposite side edges of the strip and of the outer members are aligned with one another.

Title: Procedure and appliance for touch-free examinations of objects, especially regarding their surface character
Inventor: WEINHOLD WOLFGANG
IPC: G01B11/30
Filed: 2002-05-08
Granted: 2010-12-07
Abstract: According to the invention, in order to optically examine an object in a contactless manner, the light which successively impinges on the surface (21) of said object at different angles of incidence and reflects off said surface is measured by an image sensor (40), producing a plurality of image data sets having different contents. In this way, a first image data set is produced with the incident light (43 a, b), from which form-independent or non-topographical characteristics, such as colour errors, can be derived. Form-dependent or topographical characteristics, such as scratches, are derived from a second image data set formed with glancing light or oblique light (42 a). Before the form characteristics are derived from the first image data set, it is essential that the distorting influences of form-independent characteristics are eliminated from the first image data set by means of the second image data set. Furthermore, the device is embodied as a portable manual appliance which is placed by hand, in an approximately light-permeable manner, on the surface of the fixed object, or is displaced in contact with the surface. In one form of embodiment, the incident light is replaced or complemented by transmitted light, so that translucent objects, e.g. paper, can also be examined.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the removal of stains from articles, especially fabric, using densified carbon dioxide. More particularly the invention is concerned with a method of dry cleaning an article comprising the successive steps of (a) contacting the article with a fluid dry cleaning composition containing densified carbon dioxide at a temperature between -20 and 60 ~C and a pressure between 1 and 100 MPa, so as to allow stains to dissolve and/or to disperse into the fluid dry cleaning composition and (b) separating the article and the fluid dry cleaning composition; wherein the fluid dry cleaning composition comprises an ionic surfactant in a concentration of between 0.01 and 15% by weight of the carbon dioxide and wherein during step a) at least 10%, preferably at least 30% of said ionic surfactant is present in an undissolved solid form. It was surprisingly discovered that the use of an ionic surfactant, e.g. a surfactant that contains a lipophilic alkyl residue and an amine, sulphate, phosphate and/or carboxylate residue, produces exceptionally good cleaning results if said surfactant is employed in an amount that exceeds its maximum solubility in the densified carbon dioxide composition and provided said surfactant is present during the cleaning operation in the form of undissolved solid particles.

Abstract: A system and method for processing measurements of a coating operation of a moving web, such as paper or plastic. A plurality of sensors are deployed at essentially the same cross direction (CD) locations and at different machine directions (MD) of the web. A measurement processor produces a plurality of measurement signal samples for each of the MD locations. The system also includes a computer that processes the signal samples produced by the measurement processor with correction data obtained from a quality control system and a distributed processing system. The signal samples of all the locations are combined to produce an MD profile of a characteristic of the web, such as moisture content, temperature, coating weight, drying rate and the like. The MD profile is adjusted with the correction data, which includes parameters, such as, dryer air temperature, dryer air pressure, web speed, base paper, coating formulation, coating weight, incoming moisture level, outgoing moisture level and infrared energy.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un procédé permettant de déterminer en temps réel l'évolution de l'activité de la thrombine dans un échantillon de sang ou de plasma lorsqu'elle apparaît dans l'échantillon et disparaît de celui-ci. Ce procédé consiste à ajouter un substrat de thrombine à l'échantillon qui, par unité de temps, produit un signal détectable en une quantité qui liée à la dose de thrombine présente. Simultanément, dans un échantillon de régulation contenant le même sang ou plasma dans lequel la génération de thrombine n'est pas déclenchée, l'activité d'une préparation standard ayant une activité de thrombine invariable est mesurée. La dose molaire exacte de thrombine présente à tout moment est obtenue par comparaison de l'activité mesurée dans du sang coagulé et dans le calibreur mesuré simultanément. Ce procédé est utile, entre autres, dans le diagnostic d'états hypercoagulables et hypocoagulables, congénitaux, acquis ou induits par médicaments chez des êtres humains et des animaux. L'invention a trait également à une trousse utilisée dans ce procédé.

The operator performs an alternative centering based on visual evaluation of the log end and, using this centering data, another computer simulation of log peeling is carried out. The peeling outcomes are displayed as an image. The peeling outcomes of all simulations are compared with each other and the centering of actual peeling operation is performed using the centering data giving the optimum yield of peeling.

Granted: 2009-01-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a power line broadband communication system having broadband coupler devices capable of direct electrical connection to an energized power line. The coupler includes a conductive portion movable by an adjustable member from a non-conducting retracted position spaced apart from the power transmission line to a forward conducting position in electrical contact with the power line. An insulated arm supports the coupler on the power line. A base on the coupler is engageable with a remotely activated tool in order to accomplish the electrical connection in a safe and secure manner. Broadband data signals are sent to and from customer premises along the shared energized power lines. New coupler connections to the energized power lines allow the additional broadband customers and/or repeaters to join the communication system. Also couplers may provide connections to control electronics, routers, wireless transceivers, and may allow the broadband signals to bypass transformers on the power lines. The invention helps to minimize risk by allowing an installer to be remotely spaced from the energized power line while making the electrical coupling contact with the energized power line.
