Title: Bone fracture union monitoring system
Inventor: JACKSON JOHN
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 1985-03-13
Granted: 1988-01-07
Abstract: A system for monitoring bone union at a bone fracture (13) comprises a fracture cast sleeve (15) to the external surface of which is bonded a transducer (16). Transducer (16) is electrically-conductive and has an electrical resistance which varies with elastic extension and contraction of the transducer. The output of transducer (16) is applied via a resistance-sensitive network (18) to a data evaluating device (20) arranged to normalise signals received from transducer (16) with respect to the time interval during which that signal appears since the signal is of an impulse nature depending upon the rate at which the force is applied to the fracture (13). The normalised signal is further normalised having regard to the mass of the limb concerned and a plurality of such signals are stored in store (30) together with a data log from date data device (32) and these signals are fed to a trend evaluator (34) in order to predict the time interval before bone union occurs.

Title: A device for controlling the means delivering sheets to a machine
Inventor: REBEAUD JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: B65H1/14
Filed: 2001-05-10
Granted: 2004-10-07
Abstract: A device for controlling delivery of sheets from a stack includes a lift for a stack of sheets. A sheet inserter removes sheets from the top of the stack to move them. A detector detects the front top level of the stack and measures the extent of variations in the level of the stack. A computer receives a measurement from the detector and acts on a first electric motor for the lift to raise the stack. A source of information connected to the computer relates to the supply frequency in real time and to the nominal thickness of the sheets. The computer output is connecting to a sheet supply frequency varying device for controlling the first motor to the lift. The computer is programmed so that the signal at its output is characteristic of the difference between the measured level of the stack and the calculated level thereof. An auxiliary supply device may support and raise the stack, based on the computer program, independently of the lift.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NL96/00050 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 23, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 23, 1996 PCT Filed Feb. 1, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/24181 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 8, 1996Described are a method for generating a laser beam and a laser device for practising the method. In a first step gas is ionised by means of X-rays. In a second step the electron density is increased by means of a pre-discharge. In a third step the main discharge takes place. Between the second and third steps, an electron redistribution occurs. According to the invention, the electron redistribution rate and/or the time delay between the pre-discharge and the main discharge are adjustable and controllable in relation to each other, for achieving a particular desired beam profile, such as a uniform profile. Because that delay is preferably set by varying one or more process parameters, an improtant advantage is achieved in that it is possible with one and the same laser device to modify the beam profile in a simple and flexible manner even during the operation of the laser device.

Title: A soluble molecule related to but distinct from ICAM-1
Inventor: GREVE JEFFREY
IPC: C12R1/91
Filed: 1990-01-24
Granted: 1993-09-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a soluble form of intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1) and purified and isolated human sICAM-1. This invention also relates to a purified and isolated DNA sequence encoding sICAM-1. The extracellular domain of sICAM-1 and insoluble ICAM-1 are substantially the same. ICAM-1 is involved in the process through which lymphocytes attach to cellular substrates during inflammation and serves as the major human rhinovirus receptor (HRR). sICAM-1 therefore has both the property of reducing immune inflammation and inhibiting infection of rhinovirus and Coxsackie A virus.

The first and second profiles are engaged to each other while the slider is in the closed position, and the first and second profiles are disengaged from each other in response to movement of the slider from the closed position to the open position. The first and second upstanding panels extend upwardly from the respective first and second body panels. Each of the upstanding panels includes opposing ends, and the opposing ends of the first upstanding panel are connected to the respective opposing ends of the second upstanding panel to form an open pocket in which the slider and zipper are captured. The open pocket may be sealed by joining the first and second upstanding panels to each other above the slider so as to completely encapsulate the slider within the pocket.

Title: Method for preparing implant surfaces
Inventor: ARONSSON BJORN-OWE
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 1993-12-03
Granted: 1998-01-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for preparing implant surfaces of metallic or ceramic material, preferably titanium, using gas-discharge plasma with the aim of obtaining a well-defined and reproducible implant surface. After machining and any washing procedures which may be necessary, the implants (2) are conveyed to a vacuum chamber (K2) in which the plasma preparation is carried out in two steps. Firstly, a treatment with an inert gas plasma is effected so that existing surface contamination layers and oxide layers are removed from the implant. A reoxidation is then effected using an oxidizing plasma or by means of thermal oxidation. The plasma preparation and any remaining preparation steps which may be necessary, and handling of the implants (2), are carried out in accordance with a closed procedure without intermediate exposure to uncontrolled environmental atmospheres. In this way, a higher grade of controlled surface characteristics and reproducibility is obtained for the surface of the implant as compared with previously used methods. The properties of the plasma-prepared surface can be preserved right up to the moment of use.
