Patent EP-0413816-A4 (EP)
Title: Method for recording intracranial pressure.
Inventor: KAGEYAMA NAOKI
IPC: A61B5/03
Filed: 1987-09-25
Abstract: Apparatus for recording intracranial pressure of a living body to be inspected utilizing ultrasonic waves. The recording apparatus comprises a probe which is connected to a pulser to receive intracranial echoes that are multi-reflected being interfered with each other, a receiver for amplifying the received echoes, a gate cricuit which applies a gate for a predetermined time width of echo interlocked to the heart beat among the amplified echoes and which produces internal waves of gates, and a recorder for continuously recording peak values of the output waveforms. Intracranial pressure waveforms are continuously recorded, a change in the thickness of the pachymeninx is found from the recorded intracranial pressure waveforms and a change in the intracranial pressure is found by utilizing a correlation between the intracranial pressure and the thickness of the pachymeninx. In most cases, so far, the intracranial pressure waveforms have been recorded by a method of penetrating through the cranium. However, this invention makes it possible to easily measure and record the intracranial pressure from outside the cranium without penetrating it through and without adversely affecting the brain, maintaining safety and high reliability. Further, the recordings taken at regular intervals make it possible to know the intracranial pressure and a pattern of change thereof, enabling te doctors to obtain proper data of diagnosis on the morbidity and to obtain preventive data on a change in a morbid state.

Patent EP-0714418-A4 (EP)
Title: Cosmetic melanins
Inventor: PAWELEK JOHN M
IPC: A01N47/28
Filed: 1994-08-11
Abstract: Synthetic melanins suitable for cosmetic uses are produced through oxidative polymerization of monomeric precursors that possess aromatic rings with ionizeable side groups. Agents that enhance adherence of the melanins to skin and hair are co-polymerized with the precursors to become part of the melanin molecules. Potential new precursors and adherence-enhancing agents are screened for efficacy by subjecting them to six separate synthetic procedures, and testing the resulting melanins for color, ultraviolet absorbance charcteristics, and substantivity (adherence) to skin and hair. Melanins of different colors can be blended together in cosmetic creams and lotions to complement the natural skin, eye, and hair colors of an individual. The synthetic procedures are amendable to industrial-scale production of cosmetic melanins. The materials reduce the incidence of solar damage to the skin.

Patent EP-0876231-A4 (EP)
Inventor: BRAUN CURT
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 1996-11-13
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une machine de coulée continue par chaîne constituée d'un ensemble supérieur de moules (10) et d'un ensemble inférieur de moules (16) équipés chacun de courroies (12, 18) et de chaînes (14, 20) en boucle progressant à des vitesses synchronisées. Les ensembles de moules se rencontrent de façon à former un canal de moulage (22) rempli de métal en fusion à partir d'un caisson de tête (24) et d'une goulotte d'alimentation (27). Au fur et à mesure que le métal en fusion s'écoule dans le canal de moulage, le métal se solidifiant prend la forme du canal de moulage. Chaque courroie est disposée extérieurement par rapport à la chaîne correspondante de façon que la surface lisse de la courroie définisse la surface du canal de moulage, empêchant ainsi la formation de bavures entre les blocs de moulage (32) constituant la chaîne, ce qui protège les blocs de la chaîne et annule les déformations des blocs de la chaîne. Les blocs supérieurs et inférieurs de la chaîne comportent des protubérances à des extrémités opposées qui entrent en contact avec les blocs en vis-à-vis, formant ainsi les bords du canal de moulage. La largeur du canal de moulage se règle par coulissement des chaînes l'une par rapport à l'autre.

Inventor: RENN MICHAEL J
IPC: G02B21/32
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'utiliser la lumière laser pour piéger optiquement des particules de dimensions non atomiques à l'intérieur d'une région creuse d'une fibre optique à coeur creux. La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'utiliser la fibre optique pour transporter en souplesse les particules piégées sur de grandes distances. L'invention permet également d'utiliser la longueur de fibre optique pour manipuler et guider des particules faites d'une grande diversité de matières, y-compris des tissus biologiques et des aérosols, et pour déposer ces matières sur divers substrats. Le dispositif de guidage par laser comprend une source de faisceau laser produisant un faisceau laser dirigé par une lentille de focalisation vers l'entrée de la fibre optique à coeur creux. Une source de particules à faire acheminer via la fibre apporte un certain nombre de particules au voisinage de l'entrée dans la fibre. Les particules sont alors entraînées dans le coeur creux de la fibre par le faisceau laser focalisé qui se propage à l'intérieur de la fibre en suivant un chemin d'incidence rasante. Les forces optiques induites du laser que génère une particule par dispersion, absorption et réfraction de la lumière laser piègent la particule à proximité du centre de la fibre et la propulsent sur la longueur. Tous les matériaux microniques, et notamment les particules diélectriques solides, les particules semi-conductrices et les particules solides, ainsi que les gouttelettes de solvants liquides se prêtent au piégeage dans les faisceaux laser et au transport par les fibres optiques à raison de l'effet net exercé par ces forces optiques. Après avoir parcouru toute la longueur de la fibre, les particules peuvent soit être déposées sur un substrat spécifique ou dans une chambre d'analyse, soit être traitées selon les besoins de l'application considérée.
