Patent EP-0943289-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EGGERS PHILIP E
IPC: A61B5/028
Filed: 1999-03-12
Abstract: Cardiac output is measured utilizing a catheter (60) in conjunction with the indicator
dilution technique. Non-thermal analyte-containing fluid is used as the injectate. This
fluid is biocompatible with and metabolizable within the body of the patient. An analyte
concentration sensor is mounted upon the catheter and located downstream within the
bloodstream from the port (70) from which the analyte-containing fluid is expressed.
Because of the matching of rapid concentration sensor response with an analyte-containing
fluid which is metabolizable, the measurement of cardiac output may be
carried out as often as about one to three minutes in conjunction with an infusion
interval substantially less than the measurement frequency interval. The analyte-containing
fluids are selected from a group consisting of ammoniacal fluid, heparin,
ethanol, a carbon dioxide releasing fluid, glucose, and anesthesia agent. The system
performs in conjunction with a microprocessor-driven controller which automates the
measurement procedure and provides a display of cardiac output and various
cardiovascular parameters.

Abstract: A closure is provided for use with a drink container wherein the closure includes an inner member, having an opening formed therein for receiving a straw and having a peripheral portion for mounting to the drink container, and an outer member configured to be fitted to the inner member forming a compartment therebetween. The outer member also has an opening, with the opening of the outer member aligned with the opening of the inner member while the outer member is fitted to the inner member. The aligned openings permit penetration of a straw therethrough. The inner member is shaped to prevent any beverage from within the drink container from entering the compartment even while a straw penetrates the aligned openings of the inner and outer members. In one example described herein, the inner member is shaped to prevent any beverage from entering the compartment via the provision of a raised portion of the inner member positioned and configured to extend through the opening of the outer member while the outer member is fitted to the inner member. The inner member is further shaped to prevent any beverage from entering the compartment via the provision of peripheral sidewalls within the inner member extending upwardly from the peripheral portion of the inner member toward the compartment formed between the inner and outer members. Moreover, portions of the inner member forming a bottom of the compartment are positioned well above the level of any beverage contained in the drink container.

Abstract: A plasma reactor comprises an electromagnetic energy source coupled to a radiator through first and second variable impedance networks. The plasma reactor includes a chamber having a dielectric window that is proximate to the radiator. A shield is positioned between the radiator and the dielectric window. The shield substantially covers a surface of the radiator near the dielectric window. A portion of the radiator that is not covered by the shield is proximate to a conductive wall of the chamber. Plasma reactor operation includes the following steps. A plasma is ignited in a chamber with substantially capacitive electric energy coupled from the radiator. A variable impedance network is tuned so that the capacitive electric energy coupled into the chamber is diminished. The plasma is then powered with substantially magnetic energy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sorting a paper mixture according to which the paper mixture is sorted into a fraction of mixed paper and a fraction of deinking paper. The aim of the invention is to improve the sorting process in such a way that the quality requirements of the deinking quality can be reliably met and that the staff required for sorting is reduced. To this end, the paper mixture is reduced to a grain size of approximately 40 to 100 mm and the reduced paper mixture is separated by air separation into a heavy fraction that contains mixed paper and a light fraction that contains deinking paper at a separation speed of approximately 1 to 5 m/sec. The invention further relates to a device for sorting a paper mixture that allows fulfillment of the quality requirements of the deinking quality and that can be carried out with a reduced number of staff. To this end, a disintegrator for disintegrating the paper mixture is provided. Downstream of said disintegrator an air separator for separating the disintegrated paper mixture into a heavy fraction and a light fraction is mounted. Said air separator has a classification cross-section that can be adjusted to a separation speed of between 1 and 5 m/sec.
