Abstract: Un nébuliseur d'électro-atomisation (20) génère un aérosol constitué de gouttelettes d'une taille inférieure au micron et sensiblement uniformes. Un échantillon liquide est fourni à un débit régulé à une aiguille capillaire (46) du nébuliseur (20), et les gouttelettes sont formées en raison d'un champ électrique dans la région autour de la décharge de l'aiguille. La tendance des gouttelettes à se désintégrer en raison des forces de Coulomb est contrecarrée par des sources de rayonnement ionisant à l'intérieur du nébuliseur. Les ions réduisent la charge de chaque gouttelette tandis que l'évaporation de solvant réduit le diamètre de la gouttelette. Pour mieux contrecarrer l'effet de désintégration de Coulomb, une gaine d'air régulée est introduite dans le nébuliseur pour transporter les gouttelettes plus rapidement en aval. En option, de la vapeur de solvant peut être introduite dans l'écoulement d'air afin de réduire la vitesse d'évaporation du solvant dans le nébuliseur et des ions peuvent être ajoutés à l'écoulement d'air en amont de la décharge de l'aiguille.

Abstract: Storable dense coated mixes and emulsion-gravels are produced by coating with a mixed emulsion of hard bitumen and soft bitumen. Unexpectedly, these coated mixes have a storability which makes them resemble coated mixes produced with a soft bitumen, but they assume the cohesion which corresponds to the viscosity of the bitumen consisting of the homogeneous mixture of bitumens. The mixed emulsion, preferably cationic, is produced very simply, for example by mixing an emulsion of hard bitumen and an emulsion of soft bitumen. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a stay 9 for holding a flap or a lid in a closed position or open position in relation to a container to be closed thereby. It has a first arm 9 and a second arm 10. These are intended to be fixed to the container and lid respectively by means of a pivot bearing. The two arms are connected to one another via a further pivot bearing. Active between the two is a compression spring 16 which supports the arms 9, 10 relative to one another in a position near to or remote from one another. For this purpose, the compression spring 16 is supported at one end 17 on the first arm 9 and at its other end 18 on the second arm 10, in such a way that, on the second arm, it is arranged eccentrically to the pivot bearing 13. In the extended position of the arms 9, 10, the engagement point of the compression spring 16 on the second arm 10 is offset to one side of a connecting line 27 between the centre point of the first pivot bearing 6 on the first arm 9 through the third pivot bearing 13 between the two arms 9, 10 and, in the position which corresponds to the closed position of the two arms and in which these are near to one another, the said engagement point is offset to the other side of the connecting line 27. This ensures a stay which is of simple design and which assumes a reliable holding-shut position, so that the holding-shut and holding-open forces can be predetermined exactly. The necessary forces for the closed position or open position can be achieved and predetermined in a simple way by exchanging the spring or by varying the support of the second arm relative to the first arm via the spring. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A code printing method and apparatus which prints an image and a code on the same recording medium. The apparatus stores a plurality of density patterns corresponding to each density, and codes corresponding to the density patterns. When code data is inputted and printing of the code is instructed, the apparatus determines the density of each pixel of image data, selects the density pattern representing the code data among the density patterns corresponding to the pixel density, and prints the density pattern instead of the image pixel. Thus, the image and code are printed without deterioration of the image quality. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of forming a tissue equivalent is described. A length of polyester tube is threaded over a mandrel (H) and attached at either end by clips at A and D. A block (F) is then screwed into place. The polyester is then pre-soaked by injecting through Tap (2) an acidified collagen solution for approximately one hour. After a suitable period of time the excess solution is aspirated off. Following this stage, a second, alkaline solution is injected into the apparatus which contains smooth muscle cells (SMC). Thus, neutralisation of the collagen impregnated within the fabric of the tube occurs leading to spontaneous fibrillogenesis within the interstices of the cloth, eliminating the risk of delamination. The apparatus is then incubated. The collagen contracts down onto the fabric tube and the cell-impregnated gel becomes incorporated into the presoaked collagen. The pre-impregnated collagen and the collagen provided in the aqueous mixture contract down as one into a coherent whole with the SMC. The tissue equivalent is then lined with endothelial cells and the apparatus again incubated and fed at increasing intraluminal pressures applied either statically or dynamically. This is believed to cause the vessel to become preconditioned to the pressure it will work under as an implant. This allows organization of the basement membrane which in turn promotes EC attachment and theoretically prevents smooth muscle cell hyperplasia.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for altering the length of a pedal crank which can be integrated into the pedal hub of new bicycles or fitted to that of used bicycles by means of an adapter. The device makes it possible to lengthen the pedal lever arm during the phase of greatest force transmission. The essential novelty of this device resides in the fact that a specially designed spindle (1) is provided which can accept gears (30, 31, 32) acting on a rim gear (21) fitted in a bearing unit (20). The spindle (1) is arranged inside the bearing unit (20) coaxially with a shaft (33) which bears the gear (32) and two crank arms (52) of two thrust crank drives to lengthen the pedals (60) secured to moving parts (48, 49). The moving parts (48, 49) slide on inner parts (46, 47) which are firmly secured to the spindle (1) via flanges (43, 44). The transmission ratio is such that the crank arms (52) complete two revolutions per pedal revolution.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for transporting and metering particulate material including a transport duct having an inlet, an outlet, and at least one moving surface located therebetween having a downstream facing drive surface. The apparatus further includes a motive device for moving the moving surface between the inlet and the outlet towards the outlet. The particulate material being compacted sufficiently to cause the formation of a bridge composed of substantially interlocking particulates spanning the width of the transport duct. The bridging of the particulates causes the particulates to become semi-hydrostatic in nature such that the force exerted by the downstream facing drive surface upon particulates within the transport duct drives the entire mass of material through the transport duct towards the outlet. The apparatus is used to transport and meter particulate material under ambient conditions and against pressure.
