Patent EP-0581900-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHTURMAN LEONID
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 1992-04-21
Abstract: Un cathéter à ballon de perfusion permet au sang de s'écouler au travers du ballon même lorsque ce dernier est gonflé. Le cathéter à ballon comprend un tube gonflable à paroi mince, compressible qui possède une partie proximale généralement droite et une partie distale enroulée hélicoïdalement qui possède une forme générale cylindrique et définit un passage ouvert traversant. Les spires successives de l'enroulement sont attachées les unes aux autres pour maintenir la configuration du ballon dans son état gonflé. Le cathéter à ballon ferlé peut être introduit jusqu'à l'endroit désiré puis gonflé. Etant donné que la partie enroulée hélicoïdalement définit un passage ouvert relativement grand, l'écoulement sanguin au travers du ballon peut se poursuivre même lorsque le ballon reste en place gonflé, ce qui permet d'avoir des périodes prolongées de gonflage.

Abstract: Stylet orientable et manche de manipulation adaptés spécialement pour guider l'introduction d'un fil de stimulation endocardiaque ou de rétablissement du rythme sinusal/défibrillation, ou bien d'un cathéter jusqu'à un emplacement voulu dans le système cardiovasculaire d'un patient. Le stylet ou cathéter orientable conçu pour être introduit dans la lumière d'un fil comprend un élément tubulaire allongé extérieur, un élément de traction ou fil de traction s'étendant dans la longueur de l'élément tubulaire et à l'intérieur de sa lumière excepté sur une distance prédéterminée dans sa partie distale, ainsi qu'un manche de manipulation couplé aux extrémités proximales de l'élément tubulaire ainsi que du fil que l'on peut utiliser d'une main à la fois pour faire tourner l'élément tubulaire et pour conférer une courbe progressive à sa partie distale. La partie distale de l'élément tubulaire est configurée spécialement pour être soit fixée à l'extrémité distale du fil de traction soit coopérer avec celle-ci, de sorte qu'une traction orientée du côté proximal appliquée par le manche au fil provoque une courbure de la partie distale de l'élément tubulaire. Ladite partie distale de l'élément tubulaire est dotée d'orifices permettant au fil de sortir de la lumière de l'élément tubulaire et de sortir de celle-ci, dans la partie distale, de sorte qu'une traction appliquée au fil fait plier l'élément tubulaire en une courbe du rayon voulu.

Abstract: A fitment and cap therefor are integrally molded with lugs interconnecting the part. The fitment has a flange to be attached to a container and an internally threaded spout. The cap has an externally threaded skirt. The lugs are diametrically spaced and interconnect the bottom edge of the skirt and upper edge of the spout. After molding, force is applied to break the lugs and snap the skirt inside the spout, the threads slipping past each other and inter-engaging. A temper-evident band extends around the skirt and is connected thereto by frangible bridges. At diametrically spaced locations vertically projecting fingers extend down from the tamper evident band and are received in sockets on the fitment flange shaped so that the band fingers prevent unscrewing the cap without removing the tamper-evident band. A pull tab and thumb tab assist the consumer in removing the tamper evident band so that the cap may be unscrewed from the fitment.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus (100) for handling a plurality of sample containers (10) to be processed by an instrument (200) are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a retaining means (102) holds the sample containers (10) and is indexed to align one of the sample containers (10) to a position where communication with a sample input port (210) of the instrument (200) is established. A stripper (114) moves a sample container (10) into engagement with the sample port (210) and, most preferably, also urges the sample container (10) into sealing engagement with the sample port (210). An interference fit created between the stripper (114) an the sample container (10) provides a positive force that permits the sample container (10) to be withdrawn and returned to its initial position. A lower arm assembly (120) is disclosed which acts as a stop relative to the sample container (10) and thus, as the stripper (114) continues to move while the sample container (10) is being withdrawn it overcomes the force of the interference fit and disengages the stripper (114). The present invention permits a single sample container (10) to be inserted into a thermal zone (109) to reduce the effects of the thermal zone (109) upon samples not being processed. Methods and apparatus (130,132) for initializing the retaining means (102) are also disclosed that preferably use a relative encoder to establish an initial location. The present invention is also useful for manipulating a plurality of columns such as capillary columns or columns packed with a sorbent.

Abstract: A plasma addressing electro-optical device which can be driven at a comparatively low voltage is disclosed. A plurality of signal electrodes (L) are formed on an inner surface of an upper glass substrate (4). A plurality of plasma electrodes as anodes (A) and cathodes (K) are formed on an inner surface of a lower glass substrate (7) and extend perpendicularly to the signal electrodes. A liquid crystal layer (6) is filled between the upper glass substrate and an intermediate dielectric sheet (3). A plasma chamber (11) is provided between the dielectric sheet and the lower glass plate, and ionizable gas is enclosed in the plasma chamber. The gas is selectively ionised by discharge between the cathodes and the anodes, and taking the discharge regions, in which the ionized gas exists locally, as scanning units, the liquid crystal layer positioned at intersecting positions between the signal electrodes and the discharge regions is driven. A driver circuit for such driving includes an invertor circuit (22) which inverts an image signal to be applied to the signal electrodes and a potential to the anodes at a time with reference to a potential of a substantially middle level of a driving voltage for the signal electrodes.

Abstract: 2.1. Polyoxymethylene (polyacetal) is an excellent material from which, in particular, rigid articles can be produced in high accuracy. However, since polyoxymethylene is acid-sensitive, the object of the present invention is to provide a polyoxymethylene which has been stabilised towards acids. 2.2. By addition of from 0.01 to 5 parts of an alkali metal salt of a polybasic acid, for example oxalic acid or citric acid, and/or from 0.01 to 5 parts of a polyalkylene glycol, for example polyethylene glycol, and/or from 0.1 to 100 parts of a thermoplastic polyurethane, in each case based on 100 parts of a polyoxymethylene, the latter is stabilised against acid attack, where, in particular, the combination of an alkali metal salt, in particular of an oxalate, with a few parts of a thermoplastic polyurethane is advantageous. The weight loss of a stabilised POM can be less than 3% compared with non-stabilised POM on exposure to acid. 2.3. Areas of application in which the products are exposed to acidic agents, such as irrigation equipment, dishwashers and to the sanitary sector.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an NxN integrated optical interconnection apparatus capable of switching, multiplexing or demultiplexing a large number of input and output wavelength channels achieves low levels of crosstalk and insertion loss. Two substantially identical NxM star couplers are connected by an optical diffraction grating comprising M unequal length waveguides spaced from one another by predetermined amounts. The waveguides of the grating consists of an array of curved waveguides of different lengths. The waveguides are closely spaced at their ends and widely spaced and strongly curved in the central region. The curves or bends of the planar waveguides here disclosed have sharper bends, lower losses and increased tolerance to fabrication defects. The improved bends are realized by selecting a width and radius of curvature for the waveguide which is large enough to force the fundamental mode of an optical signal to propagate away from the inner edge of the bend, thus causing negligible illumination of this edge. Moreover, the curvature of the bend is large enough to effectively cut off modes above the fundamental mode. In the new waveguide here disclosed, the mode propagation constant is effectively independent of the waveguide width thus avoiding prior art phase error problems caused by variations in the width of the waveguide.
