Title: Arrangement in nail driving apparatus
Inventor: SJOEGREN BORJE
IPC: B25C1/00
Filed: 1987-04-09
Granted: 1991-11-12
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     An arrangement for advancing a continuous strip of mutual-ly integrated nails to the nail driving section of a nail driving apparatus provided with a safety-catch device and a nail strip magazine, and to hold the nail strip in the nail driving section. Single nails are stripped from the nail strip in the nail driving section and driven, into the workpiece. The magazine has a nail strip accommodating strip guide path which adjoins the nail driving section and in which the nail strip is held biassed towards a nail driving location in the nail driving section by strip feed means located adjacent the strip guide path and engaging the nail strip located therein. In the nail driving loca-tion, a loose nail is prevented from twisting. For exactly aligning the foremost nail in the nail strip in the nail driving location, a rotatable nail positioning element is journalled for rotation and sideways movement in the nail driving section and is capable of engaging the nail strip. The safetycatch device is movable relative to the nail driving section and is held in a forward safety position by means of a coil spring. Between a latching surface in the region of the positioning element of the safety device is a movable latching element. As the safety-catch device is retracted  to its nail firing mode  the latching sur-face is urged against the spherical latching element, which in turn moves the nail positioning element into position-fixing latching engagement with the nail strip, in a region thereof immediately behind the foremost nail in the nail driving location.

Title: Submergible screw-type dental implant and method of utilization
Inventor: LINKOW LEONARD I
IPC: A61C8/00
Filed: 1987-09-03
Granted: 1992-04-07
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A submergible screw-type implant includes a longitudinal channel which directs bone chips towards the base of a bore in the patient's bone in which the implant is installed. These bone chips promote autogenous rapid regrowth of new bone to securely anchor the implant in place. In order to be able to position the implant at the most advantageous angle at the edentulous sight, angled abutments for supporting an artificial tooth structure or angularly adjustable abutments are provided. A method of installing the angularly adjustable oral implant involves setting the abutment portion at the proper angle for alignment of the artificial tooth and subsequently locking it in that position.

Abstract: TRUNK LID HINGE AND SPRING ASSEMBLY               Abstract of the Disclosure A relatively uncomplicated hinge and spring assembly for effectively counterbalancing the trunk lid of an automotive vehicle and for partially opening that lid when it is unlatched.  The assembly utilizes an adjustable tension coil spring that exerts a diminishing lifting force as the lid is raised and that, at the manufacturer's/user's option, is used to counter-balance or slightly exceed the gradually diminishing unsupported weight of the lid as it moves from lowered to raised position.  The lifting force is augmented over a limited arc of the lid's travel, by lateral deflection or distortion of the spring, to urge the lid into its partially-raised position when it is unlatched.

Granted: 1992-06-09
Abstract: Compensated Multiple Load Cell Scale Abstract Multiple digital load cells forming one or more weighing scales are connected together and to a common master controller in a local area network.  The digital load cells are polled by and provide weight readings to the master controller.  The weight readings are combined with a load position correction factor for each load cell and summed to provide a weight indication corrected for load position.  The values of the load position correction factors are determined during set up of the scale and stored at the master controller.  An individual load cell can be diagnosed remotely and replaced if defective.  A new load position correction factor is determined and stored for a replacement load cell.

Abstract: GEL-FILLED, VARIABLY-ADJUSTABLE        CUSHIONING SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING A PERSON          Abstract of the Disclosure A cushioning device, which can be a mattress, mattress pad or seat for supporting a person by distri-buting force over a support area of the person's body, comprises a gel-filled flexible enclosure assembly with variably-adjustable supportive force distribution to prevent pressure points and resultant decubitus ulcers (bed sores) in patients and others who must spend long periods of time in prone or seated positions.  The flexible enclosure assembly has multiple gel-containing compartments each underlying a different portion of the supportive surface of the device and preventing the transfer of gel from one compartment to another.    Selectively openable and closable ports each com-municate between the interior of a respective compart-ment and the exterior of the enclosure for enabling the infusion or extraction of gel from a particular com-partment so as to variably adjust the distribution of supportive force.  One or more gel containers, separate from the flexible enclosure, matingly couple with the respective ports for delivering gel to or receiving gel from the respective compartments.  Gel is initially formed within each compartment by adding water to a highly absorbent gel-forming material provided in dry form with the compartment.

Abstract: The strength and integrity of hydrophilic polyurethane resins prepared by reacting a diol component, an organic chain extender and an organic diisocyanate are improved by critical selection of the diol component, the amount of water in the reaction mixture and the mole ratios of the reactants. The diol component is at least one of (1) a long chain poly(oxyethylene) glycol of molecular weight above 2500 and (2) a medium chain poly(oxyalky-lene) glycol or polyester glycol of 250-2500 molecular weight.  The chain extender is a difunctional compound having a molecular weight of less than 250.   The amount of water in the reaction mixture is 0.5 to 2.5 wt. % and the mole ratios of the diols and water to the chain extender may range as follows:            (i)  0.4. to 0.5 of diol (1) and 1.5 to 8.0 of water;           (ii)  0.1 to 0.75 of diol (2) and 0.05 to 3.3 of water;           (iii) 0.06 to 0.04 of diol (1), 0.1 to 0.2 of diol (2) and 0.25 to 1.25 of water.     The polyurethanes have improved utility as carriers for medicaments and a variety of other active agents, as shaped bodies including cannulae, body implants and films, as coating for anti-drag applications, and particularly as needleless catheters for avoidance of contamination from needles.

Abstract: INITIALIZATION OF COMMUNICATION CHANNEL BETWEEN A     SUBSCRIBER STATION AND A BASE STATION IN A       SUBSCRIBER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A subscriber communication system includes a base station in a network with a plurality of subscriber stations wherein control information is communicated between the base station and the subscriber stations over a radio control channel (RCC) at a frequency selected by the base station from a plurality by predetermined frequencies. The a base station transmits control messages including a unique network number over the RCC. Each subscriber station processes the network number in the control message received over the RCC to enable the subscriber station to process the control message in accordance with whether the subscriber station is in the same network as the base station. The timing of communications transmitted by a a subscriber station over a given communication channel between a base station and the subscriber station is refined upon initial establishment of the communication channel. Both PC signaling information and voice data signals are communicated ovar an assigned channel between a tine appearance that couples a base station to a central office and a line interface that couples a subscriber station to a subscriber terminal.
