Title: Aiguille d'aspiration d'ovocyte a double lumen
Inventor: EMERY JAMIE
IPC: A61B10/02
Filed: 1992-09-25
Abstract: L'invention décrit un dispositif comportant un double lumen servant à recueillir un ovocyte. Ledit dispositif est unique du fait qu'il comprend des cannules parallèles s'étendant axialement vers l'extérieur à partir de l'extrémité proximale d'une garde d'aiguille. Il est également unique du fait qu'il comprend, de plus, un emplacement situé sur la garde d'aiguille et servant à effectuer une pression digitale. Cet emplacement de la garde correspond directement à un point biseauté et allongé d'une cannule s'étendant à partir d'une extrémité proximale de la garde d'aiguille. Les cannules parallèles et l'emplacement de pression digitale permettent au personnel médical d'effectuer une rotation régulière et une orientation précise de la pointe biseautée du dispositif, de façon à perforer un follicule d'un ovaire avec un traumatisme minimum avant de recueillir un ovocyte.

Abstract: On décrit un boîtier électrique (20) démontable incorporant un mécanisme souple de déblocage et d'arrêt destiné à éviter le retrait peu sûr du boîtier de son châssis. Lors de l'utilisation, on démonte le boîtier de son châssis à l'aide d'une poignée frontale (22) incorporée. Lorsque le boîtier est partiellement sorti, un bloc d'arrêt (72) situé dans le boîtier vient buter contre un ressort d'arrêt (84) situé sur le châssis. Une deuxième poignée (30) placée sur le dessus devient alors accessible et utilisable pour séparer le bloc (72) et le ressort d'arrêt (84). On peut ainsi retirer complètement le boîtier (20) du châssis d'une façon sûre à l'aide des deux mains.

Abstract: Détecteur s'utilisant dans un système de détection optique de température possédant un élément biréfringent constitué par une plaque d'oxyde métallique monocristal. Un spectre lumineux à bande large est transmis à travers un premier élément de polarisation linéaire, de façon à créer une onde à polarisation linéaire. Ladite onde, lorsqu'elle traverse la plaque d'oxyde métallique monocristal, se décompose entre une première et une deuxième onde à polarisation orthogonale. La propagation de l'onde à polarisation linéaire à travers la plaque d'oxyde métallique monocristal biréfringente introduit un décalage de phase dépendant de la température entre les deux ondes. Ensuite, un deuxième polarisateur linéaire combine la première et la deuxième onde à polarisation orthogonale, de façon à créer un spectre lumineux modulé possédant une configuration limite représentant une fonction de la température du courant s'exerçant sur ledit élément biréfringent. Un câble de fibre optique relié au deuxième élément de polarisation linéaire transporte le spectre lumineux modulé vers une interface opto-électronique où s'effectue l'extraction de la configuration limite, ainsi que la création d'un signal compatible avec un ordinateur, ce qui permet à un ordinateur central d'indiquer avec précision les conditions de température de courant environnantes atteignant 1000 °C, auxquelles est soumise la plaque monocristal de l'élément biréfringent.

Inventor: MEIER PETER
IPC: E04F13/08
Filed: 1993-09-29
Abstract: The facade element is used for facade cladding of a supporting structure (8), e.g. masonry (9). The facade cladding contains heat collector piping (3) in order to utilise the ambient heat for a flow medium, e.g. for a heat pump installation. The exterior-plaster layer (2) is relatively thin, so that the ambient heat acts quickly, i.e. without great inertia, on the heat collector piping (3). The advantage lies in the large area of the facade cladding, so that even in the case of low flow temperatures e.g. of the heat pump installation and small temperature differences between ambient temperature and flow-medium temperature, useful heat is available. <IMAGE>

IPC: H04M1/72502
Filed: 1993-01-11
Abstract: A signal processor such as an ADPCM decoder (28b) receives an input signal. As part of the CCITT Recommendation G.726 algorithm, ADPCM decoder (28b) processes the input signal to provide a linear reconstructed signal s r (k). When enabled, a noise detector (50) samples the reconstructed signal s r (k) once for each of a predetermined number of received samples. The noise detector (50) adds the absolute value of the reconstructed signal s r (k) to a total energy estimate. At the end of the predetermined number of samples, the noise detector (50) compares the total energy estimate to a product of a noise threshold and the predetermined number. If the total energy estimate exceeds this product, then a noise indication is provided. This calculation prevents the need for time-consuming division operation which is difficult for high-performance digital signal processors (70).

Abstract: A radial lip seal comprises a rigid casing ring (10'') and a rubbery sealing element (12'') secured to the ring. An inner portion (13'') of the element forms a sealing lip (14) for engagement with a shaft (S). Adjusting means, enabling variation of the bore of the seal, comprises an annular adjusting member (17'') which moves axially upon rotation about the seal axis. The member comprises a mounting portion (18'') and an inner portion forming an axially-projecting bearer (19'') which abuts the sealing element adjacent to the lip (14). Four camming tongues (22) project outwards from the casing ring to engage in slots (24) in the adjusting member (17'') , the tongues being angled so as to cause controlled axial displacement of the member with rotation. A stop tongue (26) engaging in a gap (27) in the adjusting member limits the range of adjustment.

Abstract: A recording paper sorting and discharging device designed to improve the construction of copiers, printers, or the like, in sorting, separating and discharging paper in which the ends of one side of a pair of paper discharging roller shafts (1, 3) are shifted in a direction essentially parallel to a recording paper discharging direction while the other ends of the shafts remain stationary. The paper discharging roller shafts each have at least one roller (2, 4), the rollers being separated from each other for a given period of time and, in response to detect signals, the rollers disposed on the shafts then contact each other. The recording paper (5) can thereby be discharged obliquely onto a paper discharging tray. Alternatively, a pair of paper discharging roller shafts (210, 220), each shaft having both a drive roller (211, 221) fixed on one side thereof in an axial direction and a driven paper discharging roller (212, 222) rotatably mounted on the other side thereof such that the respective drive and driven rollers on each shaft press against each other. By cutting off one of the paper discharging roller shafts from the drive system of the device, the recording paper is discharged smoothly and at an angle without generating wrinkles in the paper so the paper is thereafter presorted.

Abstract: A metal surface is now described having enhanced adhesion of subsequently applied coatings combined with excellent coating service life. The substrate metal of the article, such as a valve metal as represented by titanium, is provided with a highly desirable rough surface characteristic for subsequent coating application. This can be achieved by various operations including etching and melt spray application of metal or ceramic oxide to ensure a roughened surface morphology. Usually in subsequent operations a barrier layer is provided on the surface of enhanced morphology. This may be achieved by operations including heating, as well as including thermal decomposition of a layer precursor. Subsequent coatings provide enhanced lifetime even in the most rugged commercial environments.
