Title: Method of purifying pentafluoroethane
Inventor: KOHNO SATORU
IPC: C07C17/23
Filed: 1995-07-25
Granted: 1997-06-26
Abstract: The purification of pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) which is composed of a process A, in which an unpurified mixture (1), containing at least chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-115) and pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) is reacted with hydrogen (4) in the presence of a catalyst in gas phase to reduce the said chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-115); and a process B, in which a reaction mixture produced by the preceding reaction is separated into a first mixture (3) composed mainly of hydrogen and a second mixture (2), composed mainly of pentafluoroethane (HFC-125). In this method, purification is performed by adding the said first mixture (3) to the said unpurified mixture (1) in a state that the hydrogen chloride is removed from the first mixture (3) in process B until the level of hydrogen chloride drops to 0.5 or less than that of CFC-115 in the unpurified mixture (1) in the molar ratio, or hydrogen chloride is removed from the said reaction mixture until, when mixed with the unpurified mixture (1), the level of hydrogen chloride drops to 0.5 or less than that of CFC-115 in the mixture in the molar ratio. Thus, CFC-115 can be exterminated (or removed) cheaply and efficiently without decreasing it's reactivity (or activity) and a high yield of HFC-125 can be obtained. <IMAGE>

Title: Motor controlled surgical system and method having positional control
Inventor: KRAUSE KENNETH W
IPC: H02P6/20
Filed: 1996-04-11
Granted: 1998-08-06
Abstract: A surgical system, adapted to operate with at least one surgical device, has a handpiece containing a motor which is adapted to receive the surgical device. The surgical device is driven through a continuum of positions by the motor output shaft. A controller microprocessor controls the operation of the system. The motor has sensors for generating electrical position signals and the controller is responsive to input signals for defining both a stop position and a reversal position for the surgical device. As a result, the controller initiates operation of the surgical device at the so called stop position and stops operation of the surgical device so that it comes to rest substantially at the stop position. In an oscillatory mode of operation, the controller also forces reversals to occur solely at a reversal position dictated by the system, under the control of the user. In connection with an arthroscopic cutting device, the control enables the surgeon to control, for example, the opening of the aperture through which tissue and fluids are removed from the surgical site during the reversal and start/stop conditions.

Title: Multiband antenna
IPC: H01Q5/00
Filed: 1990-11-20
Granted: 1993-07-15
Abstract: A multi-band antenna (10) is adapted to receive signals in the AM/FM bands and to receive and transmit signals in a significantly higher frequency band such as that used for cellular telephone. An AM/FM band antenna is formed of a tubular rod (14,16), and a higher frequency band antenna is formed using a center-fed coaxial dipole (12) mounted on top of and coaxially with the AM/FM antenna. The dipole (44,46) is fed by a coaxial rod (48) attached to a coaxial cable (26) extending through the AM/FM antenna (14,16). A cylindrical choke (50) is disposed about the coaxial rod and is spaced a predetermined distance from the dipole antenna to reduce coupling between the AM/FM antenna (14,16) and the high-frequency antenna (12). The choke (50) functions to position the input impedance of the high-frequency antenna at the base of the choke in a manner so that a short matching transformer may be used at the base of the choke for connection to the coaxial cable. In matching the antenna in this manner at the base of the choke, the best possible VSWR characteristics of the antenna are preserved and the radiation pattern of the antenna's main lobe extends horizontally along a horizontal axis. <IMAGE>
