Patent AU-577143-B2 (AU)
Title: Rearwardly inclining seat and backrest
Inventor: LOCHER HERMANN
IPC: A47C1/032
Filed: 1985-08-14
Granted: 1988-09-15
Abstract: A reclining seat support (3) and a backrest support (4) are hinged on a chair frame with a support part (1) via a lever (7) by means of hinges (5, 8). Coupled to the backrest-side end of the seat support (3) is a link chain (15) which is connected at its other end to a slide (20) and a backrest (21). The link chain (15) causes the slide (20) to be moved downwards with the backrest when the chair is reclined. By this means, the pulling-out effect during the transition from the normal position into the reclined position of the lever is eliminated. However, if the chair frame is used as a chair without a link chain (15), although slightly less seating comfort is achieved by the reclining seat support, the expenditure is correspondingly less. <IMAGE>

Title: Spray drying apparatus and methods of use
Inventor: CHICKERING DONALD E
IPC: F26B17/10
Filed: 2000-04-26
Granted: 2004-01-22
Abstract: Improved spray drying apparati, and methods of use thereof, have been developed. The spray drying equipment includes a primary drying chamber and a secondary drying apparatus which includes tubing having a length sufficient to increase the contact time between the drying gas and the droplets/particles to dry the particles to the extent desired, at a drying rate and temperature which would be too low to provide adequate drying without the secondary drying apparatus. The secondary drying apparatus increases the drying efficiency of the spray dryer system without increasing the drying rate, while minimizing loss in yield The ratio of the length of tubing to the length of the primary drying chamber is at least 2:1. The tubing diameter is substantially smaller than the diameter of the primary drying chamber, such that the particles move at higher velocity through the tubing to minimize product losses. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the primary drying chamber to the cross-sectional area of the tubing most preferably is about 16:1. The tubing preferably is in a compact coil design, which can more easily be transported and which has minimum space requirements, and may optionally include a jacket to control the temperature of the secondary drying process. A preferred application for the spray drying process and equipment is in the production of polymeric microparticles, between about 1 and 200 mum in diameter, which can be used to deliver therapeutic and diagnostic agents.

Title: Surgical stapling instrument with jaw clamping mechanism
Inventor: CHOW HECTOR
IPC: A61B17/115
Filed: 1985-10-16
Granted: 1988-04-14
Abstract: A surgical stapling instrument suitable for performing a gastrointestinal anastomosis is provided. The stapling instrument incorporates a jaw clamping mechanism which applies clamping forces to its jaw members to resist the forces exerted on the anvil and staple cartridge carrying portions of the jaw members when the staples are formed. Preferably, the stapling instrument includes a pair of elongate jaw members, one of which supports a staple cartridge adapted to receive at least two laterally spaced longitudinal rows of staples, and the other provided with an anvil adapted to form the staples. A pusher bar and knife blade assembly is slidable longitudinally relative to the jaw members to sequentially drive the staples from the cartridge and form the staples against the anvil to produce a pair of laterally spaced rows in the tissue. The pusher bar and knife blade assembly includes a knife blade for cutting the tissue along a line between the longitudinal staple rows. A latching mechanism is provided for latching the jaw members together at an intermediate position therealong adjacent to the staple cartridge and the anvil. In addition, a cam mechanism is provided for urging the jaw members apart at a position remote from the latching mechanism to resist the forces exerted on the staple cartridge and anvil when the pusher bar and knife blade assembly is actuated to staple and cut the tissue gripped between the jaw members.

Granted: 1997-03-06
Abstract: An method of making an elongated component (34) for a tampon applicator includes the use of an injection mold (10) having an elongated mold cavity that corresponds to the desired shape of the component. The injection mold has a melt flow channel (26) defined therein which extends in the elongated direction and has a thickness which is greater than the thickness of the adjacent portion of the mold cavity. The method further includes the steps of injecting a solidifiable liquid material into the elongated mold cavity and removing the formed component from the injection mold once the material has solidified. The melt flow channel (26) enables the component to be formed with thinner walls, and with more viscous liquid material than was heretofore possible. The invention also embraces the mold assembly and the component itself. <IMAGE>

Title: Multi-level stacking/nesting tray
Inventor: APPS WILLIAM PATRICK
IPC: A47F1/14
Filed: 1986-11-27
Granted: 1991-03-28
Abstract: A multi-level stacking/nesting tray (10) is disclosed in which the trays (10) are configured to permit multi-level stacking through an interlocking stacking leg/slot configuration (20, 18). A plurality of slots (18) are formed at an angle from the vertical and are disposed in groups in two end locations of two opposing end walls (16) of the tray. The slots (18) in a selected group have progressively lower terminating points to thus permit varying levels of stacking/nesting. The slots (18) are also configured so that the terminating point of each of the slots (18) with a group lies along the same vertical line. Stacking legs (20) are disposed on the exterior surface of the end walls (16) of the tray at the location of the slots (18) and are appropriately angled so as to permit insertion of the legs (20) of the first tray (10) into the corresponding slots (18) of a second tray (10) positioned below the first tray. By proper selection of a particular slot (18) having the desired terminating point, various levels of stacking may be obtained.

Title: Testing ferromagnetic powders
Inventor: KRAMER HORST
IPC: G01N27/00
Filed: 1981-02-20
Granted: 1985-01-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method permitting the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic powders which are used for the preparation of heavy media for the float-sink dressing of minerals, to be tested. To this end, the invention provides for the ferromagnetic powder to be magnetized in a magnetic steady field at a field strength within the range 600 to 1000 amperes per cm and the magnetized ferromagnetic powder to be demagnetized in a cyclicly decreasing magnetic alternating field at a field strength within the range 1000 to 1500 amperes per cm. Next, the ferromagnetic powder so pretreated is heaped up, in the center portion of a circular plate made from dielectric material and the circular plate is placed on an iron core-provided coil. An alternating current voltage of 180 to 260 volts is applied to the coil, thereby effecting the occurrence of alternating fields of 180 to 220 amperes per cm in the center portion of the circular plate. The ferromagnetic powder heaped up is observed for the figure it is forming under the influence of the alternating fields. The formation of a closed figure around the center portion of the plate indicates unlimited qualification of the ferromagnetic powder for use in a heavy medium suspension.

Title: Cardiac tissue ablation device and method of use
Inventor: LESH MICHAEL D
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1998-05-11
Granted: 2002-06-06
Abstract: A tissue ablation device creates long linear lesions along a body space wall of an animal, and primarily between adjacent pulmonary vein ostia in a left atrial wall. An ablation element includes first and second ends that are bordered by first and second anchors. The anchors are adapted to secure the ablation element ends at predetermined first and second locations along the body space wall such that the ablation element is adapted to ablate an elongate region of tissue between those locations. The anchors may be guidewire tracking members, each including a bore adapted to receive and track over a guidewire, and may anchor within adjacent pulmonary vein ostia when the engaged guidewires are positioned within the respective veins. Stop members may be provided on the guidewires and may be adapted for positioning the relative anchors or for forcing the anchors to fit snugly within the vein ostia. A conduit passageway through the catheter houses a stiffening stylet which may be advanced into the region of the ablation element in order to impart a shape to that element to conform it to a predetermined region of anatomy, or to stiffen the underlying catheter in order to advance the assembly into remote anatomy.
