Title: A catheter
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1986-07-08
Abstract: A catheter intended for insertion into a canal or canal-­like organ, for example into the urethra leading to the urinal bladder of a human being, for the purpose of emptying the contents of the urinal bladder of that person into the catheter. The catheter comprises a preferably flexible, tubular catheter body (10) incor­porating a urine inlet and provided with an insertion section (11) together with means for holding the cathe­ter within the urethra. The catheter body (10) also includes a discharge section (12) spaced from the inser­tion section (11) and intended, for example, for connec­tion to a urine collecting vessel.According to the invention the interior of the tubular insertion section (11) is arranged to support a sieve or filter element (14), and means (13,13',18) for creating turbulence in the incoming flow to the catheter body, so as to prevent blocking of the inlet opening.

Filed: 1986-07-08
Abstract: A urine-collecting container-valve assembly (10,13) particularly intended for use when taking urine from the urinal bladder of a patient, particularly a bed-ridden patient. The assembly comprises a container (10), made of thin plastic material, having an inlet port which accommodates a non-return valve arrangement (13). The valve arrangement (13) is housed in a valve housing (15) having an inlet and an outlet. Arranged in the interior of the valve housing (15) is a perforated plate-like element (16) which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the valve housing in liquid-tight abutment with the walls of the housing (15). The housing (15) also has arranged therein a pressure-activated buoyant body (20) which is freely movable between the mutually opposing surfaces of the plate-like element (16) and the bottom wall of the valve housing (15). The invention is characterized by means (23) which co-act with the buoyant body (20) in a manner to guide the body (20) axially during its movement from one ter­minal position to another terminal position.

IPC: G11B20/02
Filed: 1987-09-23
Abstract: A device for playing digitally recorded disks 
such as compact disks (1) on which a PAL video signal 
has been recorded. A first error signal is produced 
(11) corresponding to a phase difference between a 
first reference signal and the horizontal

Title: Detecting device for the spatial orientation of unacceptably heated spots
IPC: B61K9/12
Filed: 1987-10-12
Abstract: In the case of a device for detecting the spatial orientation of excessively heated points of wheel bearings and/or wheel running treads of rail vehicles, it is suggested that a deflecting device, such as an oscillating mirror 5, that can be varied periodically in its slope, be inserted into the path of the rays from a measuring point to a heat radiation sensor 7. The ray that is deflected when the slope of the deflecting device is changed can in this way also arrive on reflecting surfaces 10 for the purpose of autocollimation, thereby enabling an improvement in measuring precision. Radiation emitted from the detector is periodically reflected back onto the detector to provide a reference signal.

Patent EP-0287027-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1988-04-12
Abstract: A document is scanned by an image scanner and image data representing the 
image of the document is stored in an image storage means. Rectangles 
contacting and surrounding outer boundaries of each image of plural 
character rows in the image storage means are generated, and the positions 
of four edges of the rectangle in XY coordinates of the image storage 
means are detected. A size of a rectangle is calculated based upon the 
detected positions of the edges, and the size of each rectangle is 
compared with a expected size range for the characters and symbols to be 
recognized. The positions of the rectangles falling into the size range 
are stored in a first table as the position data wherein the position data 
of the rectangles of the characters and symbols over the plural character 
rows are arranged in the first list in the order from a rectangle at one 
end to a rectangle at the other end along the direction of the X axis of 
the XY coordinates.  
     The position data of the rectangles in the first list are sequentially 
fetched in the arranged order to detect a size of each rectangles to 
determine an average size of all rectangles stored in the first list. 
Again, the position data of the rectangles in the first list are 
sequentially fetched in the arranged order to find out a first rectangle 
falling into a size range settled based upon the average size. The fetch 
operations are continued to find out a second rectangle having a bottom 
left corner located within predetermined distances in the X and Y 
directions from a bottom left corner of the first rectangle. The fetch 
operations are continued to find out a third rectangle having a bottom 
left corner located within the predetermined distances in the X and Y 
directions from the bottom left corner of the second rectangle. The 
operations continues to find out a predetermined number of rectangles in 
one character row satisfying the condition. When the predetermined number 
of the rectangles have been found, a skew of the character row in the XY 
coordinates is calculated based upon the positions of the bottom left 
corners of these rectangles, and this detected skew is treated as the skew 
of the document.

Patent EP-0322050-A3 (EP)
IPC: C30B25/02
Filed: 1988-12-16
Abstract: In the manufacture of an electronic device, e.g. an infrared 
detector of cadmium mercury telluride, a gas stream (36) 
comprising two or more reactants is passed over a heated 
substrate (29) in a reaction zone (C) of a reactor vessel (1) so 
as to deposit material in a layer (30) on the substrate (29). 
One reactant, e.g. a readily decomposible cadmium alkyl (Me₂Cd), 
is supplied to the reaction zone (C) by means of an injection 
tube (12) which passes through a heated first zone (A) of the 
vessel (1). The tube (12) has a narrow bore (y) to provide a 
high flow velocity for this reactant (Me₂Cd) through the first 
zone (A). In accordance with the invention, the tube (12) widens 
in at least one dimension (x), towards its outlet end, so as to 
provide a wider outlet for injecting the reactant (Me₂Cd) into 
the gas stream (38,36) with a lower flow velocity which matches 
more closely the flow velocity of the gas stream (38,36). A more 
balanced mixing is achieved leading to improved compositional 
homogeneity in the deposited layer (30), even for difficult 
materials such as cadmium mercury telluride. The heated first 
zone (A) may comprise a capsule (2) containing e.g. a pool of 
mercury (3), and such a capsule (2) preferably has an outlet (a) 
of smaller cross-sectional area within which the widened outlet 
of the injection tube (12) is concentrically arranged so that the 
gas stream (38) is symmetrically constricted around the outlet of 
the injection tube (12).

Abstract: Hydrocarbon and steam are introduced into a reformer 102 to form a gas 
mixture including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapour and 
hydrogen. After removal of the water vapour, the gas mixture is 
passed to a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) plant 122 comprising first

recycled to the reformer 102, and a carbon monoxide-enriched fraction 
withdrawn from an intermediate location of the plant 122. The carbon 
monoxide-enriched fraction is separated in a further PSA plant 148 to 
produce a carbon monoxide product. The kind of PSA plant 122 may be 
used outside this process to separate gas mixtures containing three or 
more components.

Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic travelling apparatus 
which permits: determination of a permissible 
travelling area on the basis of images taken by an 
image pickup device or video camera, showing the sight 
of the area appearing ahead of the vehicle; steering 
control of the vehicle to go into a target course in 
the permissible travelling area; and selection of a 
predetermined way of a selected crossing or branch in 
the target course. These complicated determination and 
control can be easily performed without fail.  
     Also, when an image pickup device or video camera 
take images of the area extending ahead of the vehicle 
for determining a permissible ravelling area, a wide-­
angle camera, a telescopic range camera and an ordinary 
camera are selectively used to meet particular 
situations for example, taking pictures of a crossing, 
zigzag way or straight long way. This selective use of 
cameras of different characteristics permits correct 
identification of particular roads with those stored in 
the map storage.
