Patent NO-863509-D0 (NO)
Inventor: FOREHAND GILBERT HORTON
IPC: G06F3/05
Filed: 1986-09-02
Abstract: An analog-to-digital conversion technique utilizes an oscillator (6) which provides a primary oscillating signal that drives a counter (24) and that generates a derived signal having a frequency less than the primary signal. The derived signal is integrated for use in comparing against the threshold voltage defining the analog signal to be converted. The comparison of the integrated and the threshold signals provides a pulse width modulated signal which is related to the primary signal. The pulse width modulated signal gates the counter for generating a count at the rate established by the primary signal. This output can be communicated to a microcomputer or other device.

Patent NO-873801-D0 (NO)
Inventor: URQUHART ANDREW WILLIARD
IPC: C04B35/65
Filed: 1987-09-11
Abstract: There is disclosed a method of producing a self-supporting ceramic composite body having therein at least one cavity which inversely replicates the geometry of an expendable pattern (6). The method includes the steps of surrounding the expendable pattern (6) with a filler material (4) to thereby form a filled cavity within the filler material (4). The expendable pattern (6) is chemically or physically removed from the filler material (4) and a quantity of a parent metal is put into the cavity. The parent metal is heated to a temperature above its melting point and an oxidation reaction process begins whereby the oxidation reaction product infiltrates and embeds the surrounding filler material (4). Excess filler material and/or excess parent metal are removed, thus resulting in a self-supporting ceramic composite body having a cavity in the shape of the expendable pattern (6).

Patent NO-920525-D0 (NO)
Inventor: GRIFFIOEN WILLEM
IPC: H02G1/08
Filed: 1992-02-10
Abstract: Apparatus for installing cables with a certain stiffness, more in particular glass fibre cables, into a duct (6, 24) of a channelization system, using the working of a compressed gas, which apparatus is adapted to exert pushing forces on a cable (26) being introduced in order to support the compressed gas working on the cable in the duct. The apparatus comprises cable advancing means and gas inserting means. The cable advancing means include a hollow, substantially rectilinear cable lead-through channel (3) with an entrance end (4) and an exit end (5), at least one pair of wheels (8, 10; 9, 11) mounted opposite to each other for moving on a cable (26) disposed between these wheels into the direction of the outlet end (21) of the duct (6), and a pneumatic motor (15) coupled to at least one of said wheels for providing a driving couple to it. At least one of the wheels is coupled to a pneumatic piston/cylinder combination (13, 14), in such a way that when compressed gas is supplied to the pneumatic cylinder (14), transverse forces will be exerted on the cable (26) disposed between the wheels (8, 10; 9, 11). The gas inserting means include a gas channel (7), which debouches into the cable lead-through channel (3) and which is adapted for inserting compressed gas into the lead-through channel (3) between the wheels and the exit end (5) of the lead-through channel (3). The motor (15) is capable of providing a driving couple, which is larger than the driving couple, which has to act on the cable (26) to compensate a pressure difference existing at the inlet end of the duct between the pressure inside and the pressure outside the cable lead-through channel (3) as a consequence of inserting the compressed gas via the gas channel (7) into the cable lead-through channel (3). The pushing forces are exerted by the wheels on the cable (26) as a consequence of the cooperative effect of the driving couple and the transverse forces. The gas channel (7), the pneumatic motor (15) and the piston/cylinder combination may be coupled to the same compressor. For use in a tandem arrangement the apparatus comprises further a coupling unit (18) to be coupled to an outlet end (21) of a preceding duct section (24), and which includes a mainly hollow housing (19), an outlet pipe (23) for diverting a flow of gas, which may leave the outlet end (21) of the duct section (24), and an outlet opening (22) through which a cable may be led into the direction of the entrance end (4) of the cable lead-through channel (3). Advantages: the exerted transverse forces are very acurately adjustable and substantially constant; the apparatus is non-destructive to the cable when cable introduction is slowing down or stagnates; in a tandem arrangement the apparatus needs hardly any human interference and is safe for the operating staff. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for the dose-to-effect transmucosal administration of medicaments are disclosed. The present invention relates to such apparatus and methods which are useful in administering medicaments in a dose-to-effect manner such that sufficient drug is administered to produce precisely a desired effect. The invention also relates to an apparatus capable of placement directly on the patient's buccal mucosa having the capability of adjusting the drug surface area in direct contact with the mucosal tissue thereby enabling the proper amount of therapeutic agent or drug to be administered while accounting for individual needs and susceptibilities of the drug. Through the use of selected permeation enhancers, the present invention enables lipophilic and nonlipophilic medicaments, which are not suitable for oral administration, to be rapidly administered noninvasively. Employing the present invention the drug may be introduced into the patient's bloodstream almost as fast as through injection, and much faster than using the oral administration route, while avoiding the negative aspects of both of these methods.

Title: Substrate regenerating biosensor
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1990-05-01
Abstract: A biosensor for the detection and determination of the concentration of toxins by use of enzyme inhibition. Inhibition biosensors are affected by non-specific denaturation and substrate utilization which both result in a limited operational lifetime. These problems are mitigated by providing in an environment an enzyme which is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide the oxidized enzyme being reduced by an electron transfer agent, such as ferrocene, which is itself oxidized in the process. The electron transfer agent is capable of regeneration back to the reduced state and the extend of electron transfer regeneration gives a measure of enzyme inhibition by toxin. Electro-chemical technique allows for the generation of hydrogen peroxide from oxygen in aqueous media and the reduction of oxidized electron transfer agent. Immobilization of the enzyme to an electrode increases efficiency while potentially reducing denaturation. The biosensor can be used for the environmental determination of toxins like cyanide.
