Patent EP-0603951-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EELES ALAN GEOFFREY C O KODAK
IPC: G03D3/13
Filed: 1993-12-16
Abstract: In known photographic processing apparatus, a track length of approximately 2m is defined by a processing rack. This gives a minimum overall height of the processing rack of around 1m. This has the disadvantage that it is difficult to remove the processing rack from the apparatus for maintenance and repair. Described herein is a processing rack arrangement which for a given processing path length has an overall height reduction. A rack (10) includes an inlet (12, 14) and an outlet (16, 18), and switch means (22) for directing the material to be processed either directly to the outlet (16, 18) or around a processing path defined by a roller arrangement (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44,46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58). The processing path so defined is folded to provide an acceptable path length but reducing the overall height of the processing rack (10).

Abstract: An exchangeable catheter-guidewire system is disclosed in which the guidewire can be manipulated to seize and to release itself from the catheter body while both are in place in a vasculature or other body vessel. For balloon dilatation catheters, this arrangement permits one to transmit the fluid used for perfusion and/or balloon inflation through the same lumen through which the guidewire passes. Balloon catheters which utilize the invention have the capacity to secure the position of the guidewire relative to the catheter body, as well as to seal the lumen and balloon to retain fluid under pressure, both by remote control from the proximal end of the catheter. The seizure and sealing are achieved by a deformable section on the guidewire, which expands upon deformation to seize a tubular section of the catheter body. Two examples of deformation are given, the first occurring with a deformable section which is sufficiently flexible to gather into folds upon longitudinal compression, the folds being bulky enough to expand outward, and the second occurring with a deformable section which is inflatable. In either case, the guidewire in preferred embodiments is constructed as a hollow tube with a central rod which in both cases serves to enhance the longitudinal strength of the guidewire and, in the first case, also serves as a means of compressing and re-extending the deformable section of the tube. Either mechanism permits the construction of an exchangeable catheter system with the crossing profile of non-exchangeable systems.

Abstract: A GPS precision approach and landing system for aircraft employs a fixed ground facility and a single satellite navigation receiver on board the aircraft. The fixed ground facility includes a reference receiver that measures differential corrections to the satellite code and carrier measurements and a pseudolite that is employed to transmit these corrections to a broadband GPS receiver on board the aircraft and to provide an additional code and carrier measurement to assist in the navigation solution. The pseudolite signal is broadcast at a frequency offset from the L1 GPS frequency in order to prevent interference with the satellite navigation system. The broadband GPS receiver on board the aircraft is capable of making phase coherent measurements from the GPS satellites, the pseudolite signal, and the GLONASS satellites. These phase coherent measurements are combined to form a precise differential carrier ranging (DCR) solution that is used to provide three-dimensional position guidance of the aircraft throughout a precision approach and landing procedure.

Selon ce procédé: A) on traite les fibres avec un mordant; B) on traite les fibres avec un mélange constitué d'un tensioactif sulfoné ou bisulfoné et d'un agent antitache (du syntan par exemple); et C) on effectue un traitement dans l'étape A ou B selon une quantité suffisante pour améliorer les propriétés antitache. Le procédé amélioré peut être mis en ÷uvre dans la liqueur restant dans un bain de teinture après que les fibres aient été colorées (processus du bain usé). Dans le procédé le pH est acide, de 1,5 à 3,0 %, ceci présentant l'avantage de réduire la proportion d'agent chimique antitache nécessaire pour conférer à la laine une résistance aux taches. La protection des extrémités à l'aide de résine polyméthacrylique et d'un agent fluorochimique peut être une étape supplémentaire.

Title: Exhaust filter backpressure indicator.
Inventor: FUCHS ERVIN P
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 1993-09-02
Abstract: An exhaust filter backpressure indicator includes a sensor for measuring the backpressure and the exhaust system. The sensor sends a signal which is processed for indicating that an exhaust filter element is filled. The indicator includes a timer so that a signal corresponding to pressure must be maintained for a predetermined period of time before the filled element is indicated. The apparatus may also include high and low frequency discriminators to process signals within predetermined signal frequency ranges corresponding to engine operating speeds. Therefore, depending on the operation of the vehicle, the element will be indicated as being filled at either high engine speed operation or low engine speed operation.

Abstract: The device has a drivable, endless, flexible troughed belt conveyor (12) with a multiplicity of bars (18) lying parallel in the direction (F) of conveying and connected in an articulated manner. To form the trough the ends of the troughed belt are each guided about a circular disc (13), parallel to a plane (S6ss) of reference, or a ring (14) and about two deflection rollers (10, 10', 11, 11') which are axially parallel to the circular disc and to the ring. For disturbance-free conveying of large and small work pieces it is proposed that the plane (S6ss) of reference form with a horizontal plane an intersection line (S6) inclined (angle  alpha ) to the direction (F) of conveying, and that the ends of the bars (18) be pivotable about a first pivoting axis (26), which is perpendicular to the direction of rotation (arrow 17) of the troughed belt conveyor (12) and is in each case oriented in the region of the circular disc (13) and of the ring (14) and the deflection rollers (10, 10', 11, 11') radially with respect to the axes of rotation thereof. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method serves for operating an adsorber, in particular an activated charcoal adsorber for the selective adsorption of substances from aqueous solutions, in particular for water treatment. The adsorber is provided with an adsorber housing having at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port for the medium to be purified. The adsorber housing receives the packing comprising activated charcoal to fill its volume. The medium (water) is passed via the inlet side of the adsorber housing at intervals following each other with respect to time through regions of the packing following each other with respect to space within the housing in the direction of flow of the medium. The flow velocity of the medium in each of the individual packing regions following each other with respect to space essentially continuously increases between the respective entry into this region and the discharge from this region to the outside. The medium is passed at essentially constant flow velocity through the respective regions of the packing upstream of this last-mentioned region through which flow simultaneously passes. <IMAGE>
