Date Aug. 28, 1997A pump comprises variable volume means inserted in an artery, in particular, the descending aorta, enabling the volume through which the blood flows in this location to be modified cyclically and in a controlled manner. The device comprises a deformable enclosure in fluid communication with the variable volume. The variable volume and a spring coil urge the deformable enclosure against an increase of volume resulting from a pressure increase in the variable volume, and in the corresponding enclosure, in a way which produces additional elastance for the artery during the heart cycle. In addition, an electric motor can control the deformable enclosure to increase or decrease its volume, and can exert its force in addition to or in subtraction from the force of the spring coil during the systolic and diastolic phases of the heart cycle. This produces an additional pumping effect on arterial blood and correspondingly relieves the effort required of the heart.

Abstract: An improved unitary garment hangers is provided wherein an angular leg extension of a central hanger support structure, such as a hook, cooperates with, and connects to, the apex connection between upper ends of hanger shoulder supports. The perimeter distance along one shoulder support from the outer end thereof to the angular leg extension is substantially greater than the corresponding distance for the other shoulder support. This shoulder length differential is achieved either by the support angular leg extension or by a combination of this extension with a terminally adjacent upper portion of one shoulder support. Such a garment hanger permits both rapid and easy inserting or removing of the hanger through a garment neck region without stretching or tearing of the garment, and inserting or removing the hanger from underneath the garment.

Abstract: A disposable device for controlling the rate of suction to and from a bodily organ, such as the stomach, during a lavage procedure that involves the use of a movable controller that slides back and forth over an opening in the main body of the device. The interior opening of the device which is placed in a flowline that extends from the stomach upstream to a downstream collection vessel has a tapered flow path that allows for the uninterrupted flow of pill fragments or stomach contents through the flowline. A lateral flow path that extends from an opening in the exterior of the main body to the main flow path enables an operator to vary the suction pressure to or from the patient by varying the size of the exterior opening through the use of the movable controller.

Abstract: Dust or aerosol filters in an enclosed housing are exposed to a flow of hot gases at e.g. 1000 degrees C, and have a high level of flow resistance when laden. The filters are cleaned from time to time by a rapid reduction in pressure on that side of the chamber in which the filters bear their load. In a process to clean the filters, fine droplets of a fluid, especially water are sprayed into hot gases on the particle-laden side of the filter chamber. The fluid droplets instantly vaporise under conditions of adiabatic expansion and the thermodynamic conditions in the filter. The quantity of fluid spray is dosed to ensure that the gas temperature does not fall below the dew point. The spray process is repeated a number of times at short intervals depending upon the required duration of pressure reduction.   Also claimed is an apparatus for the above process.
