Abstract: The present invention concerns an adapter (22) to be coupled to an objective lens (18) of a microscope comprising a body member having a first coupling means (34) at one end thereof to receive an objective lens (18) of a microscope and having a second coupling means (38) at the other end thereof to receive a microscope component (14). The body member has an axial light path running longitudinally therethrough and has a radial light path which intersects the axial light path. A source of light (24) is disposed in the radial light path. A first filter (28) is disposed in the radial light path downstream of the source of light for passing light at wavelengths which excite fluorescence in a specimen to be examined in a microscope and to remove light at wavelengths where visible fluorescence emission occurs in the specimen. A mirror (30) is disposed in the intersection of the axial light path and radial light path. The mirror (30) passes light through the axial light path and reflects light at excitation wavelengths, but does not reflect light at emission wavelengths. A second filter (32) is disposed in the axial light path and is disposed above the mirror (30) and adjacent the second coupling means (38). The second filter blocks excitation wavelengths which pass through the mirror. The adapter (22) can easily be attached and detached to a conventional microscope. The adapter can provide fluorescence microscopy capability to a conventional microscope which was not designed for fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract: Le réglage du pas, dans une hélice à variation de pas utilisant une prise par engrenage planétaire entre un moyeu à pignon (1-3) claveté sur l'arbre d'entraînement (2) et des pignons planétaires (5) placés à la base des pales (4) de l'hélice, lesquelles sont montées rotatives dans des trous ménagés dans la paroi d'un carter (6) du moyeu, peut être facilement effectué manuellement grâce àl'enregistrement de la position angulaire relative d'une seconde partie (7) du carter par rapport à une première partie (6) du carter dans lequel est logé l'engrenage planétaire. On effectue l'enregistrement du pas en exerçant une force tendant à séparer la seconde partie (7) du carter de la première partie (6) contre la résistance exerçée par un ressort de retour de poussée (7), sur une distance suffisante pour désengager un couplage (12-13) entre la seconde partie (7) et la première partie (6) du carter ou le moyeu de pignon (1-3), entraînant ainsi en rotation la seconde partie (7) désengagée par rapport à la première partie (6) du carter, avant de libérer la poussée, entraînant ainsi l'engagement des deux parties dans une position angulaire relative modifiée. Ainsi, les butées placées sur la trajectoire d'une pièce cintrée traînante (8) reliée solidement au moyeu (1) de l'hélice, qui sont essentiellement formées sur la paroi interne de la seconde partie du carter, modifient leur position angulaire relative autour de la pièce cintrée (8), modifiant ainsi l'orientation limite adoptée par les pales (4) lors de la rotation de l'arbre d'entraînement (2). Des éléments résilients sont utilisés entre les surfaces d'aboutpour empêcher leur déformation.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for facilitating the respiration of a patient are disclosed which are particularly useful in treating mixed and obstructive sleep apnea and certain cardiovascular conditions, among others, by increasing nasal air pressure delivered to the patient's respiratory passages just prior to inhalation and by subsequently decreasing the pressure to each exhalation effort. The preferred apparatus (10) includes a patient-coupled gas delivery device (14) for pressurizing the patient's nasal passages at a controllable pressure, and a controller (20) coupled with the delivery device (14) having a pressure transducer (700) for monitoring the nasal pressure and a microcontroller (802) for selectively controlling the nasal pressure. In operation, the controller (20) determines a point in the patient breathing cycle just prior to inhalation and initiates an increase in nasal pressure at that point in order to stimulate normal inhalation, and subsequently lowers the nasal pressure to ease exhalation efforts. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1993-07-14
Abstract: This invention relates to a container for bulk goods, fluids and the like, comprising an outer envelope (131), which can be closed at both ends, and an inner member (132), which is connected to the outer envelope at at least four points spaced about the circumference of the outer envelope and has a length that is 30-100% of the height of the container to be formed. According to the invention, for obtaining a substantially block-shaped container with a bottom and cross-sections parallel thereto, substantially in the form of a rectangle deviating from a square, the starting-point is a rectangle with the desired outer dimensions and at least one inscribed circle which touches both long sides but not at least one short side of the rectangle. A first line extends parallel to the long side and through the centre of the inscribed circle and a second line extends parallel to a short side and through the centre of the inscribed circle. These lines divide the rectangle into subrectangles each having an angular point coinciding with one of the angular points of the rectangle. A bisector is drawn in the rectangle from each coinciding angular point. Located in each bisector is the centre of a further circle (135) which touches the long and the short side that meet at the angular point from which the corresponding bisector has been drawn. The intersections of said further circles and said inscribed circle define the points where the outer envelope is connected to the inner member. These intersections do not lie outside the subrectangle with the bisector in which lies the centre of the corresponding further circle. The length of the outer circumference of the outer envelope is defined by the sum of the four lengths of the arc of the four further circles between the points where the further circles intersect the inscribed circle and the sum of the lengths of such portions of the outer circumference of the inner member as are not covered by the further circles. <IMAGE>
