Abstract: L'invention porte sur des repères de stérilisation faisant appel à des adhésifs résistant à l'humidité, dispersibles dans l'eau et collants sous l'effet d'une pression. Les repères de stérilisation comprennent au moins une bande support, de préférence une bande dispersible dans l'eau, qui est recouverte sur au moins un des côtés de l'adhésif résistant à l'humidité, dispersible dans l'eau et collant sous l'effet d'une pression. Une bande repère de stérilisation pouvant se détacher facilement du repère de stérilisation est fixée à la bande support. Les rubans repères sont utiles pour assurer la fermeture d'une enveloppe de stérilisation contenant des articles à stériliser pendant les opérations de stérilisation, et les manipulations pré- et post-stérilisation, tout en fournissant également un moyen de vérifier si les produits emballés ont subi un cyle de stérilisation. Après usage, on peut facilement retirer la bande repère de stérilisation, et de préférence aussi la bande support, et les adhésifs recouvrant les repères de stérilisation dispersent une solution alcaline aqueuse similaire à celles utilisées dans les blanchisseries. L'invention porte également sur les procédés de fabrication de ces repères et leur mode d'utilisation.

Abstract: A paint drying oven for baking a paint film of a painted article for drying following a painting process. In a conventional device, an indirect heating system is used so as to avoid the generation of a reaction product affecting the paint film quality, this resulting in a great thermal loss, and therefore higher device cost and larger installation space. A combustion type heating device (19b, 19c) is provided in which in-oven heating means (Hb, Hc) are installed at the portions of fresh air paths (18b, 18c) usptream of connecting points between in-oven air circulation paths (9b, 9c) and the fresh air paths (18b, 18c) and which heats circulating fresh air (OA). This combustion type heating device (19b, 19c) is of a direct heating type in which fuel is burned directly in the atmosphere of the circulating fresh air (OA) which is to be heated, and therefore the above problems inherent in the prior art can be solved.

Abstract: During the administration of NO to a patient, NO reacts with
oxygen in the respiratory gas to form NO 2 . Since NO 2  is a
toxic gas, minimizing the formation of this gas is important.
A previously unknown property of NO has been discovered which
means that an initial amount of NO 2  is formed when NO and O 2 
mix. But when NO is added at a plurality of mixing points,
the total initial amount of NO 2  formed can be reduced. The
invention is directed to this new method and to a device (4)
for carrying out the mixing method. The device (4) contains a
flow regulator (20) for regulating the gas, containing NO,
which is to be supplied and a flow divider (24) for
distributing the flow and sending sub-flows to the various
mixing points (26A-26D).

Abstract: Embodiments of a compact electrophotographic color developer
module (71, 91) are shown and described, each embodiment including generally
vertically-oriented, self-contained developers (77, 92) stacked or radially fanned-out
above the photoconductor drum (78, 126). The developers (77, 92) are
preferably either wedge-shaped or rectangular, and preferably have cylindrical
sleeves (73) less than about 2 inches apart. The compact developer module
(71, 91) and cooperating image transfer system have a small form factor and
footprint and may be used in a wide variety of electrophotographic platforms
with minimal changes. A cam system (118) may be included to allow either
contact, non-contact, or close-jump-gap development, with a simple code or
ROM change. The photoconductor drum (78, 126) is sized to carry less than a
complete image, because the image is transferred to an intermediate transfer
member before transfer to paper. With extension of the developer canisters (72,
72', 94) and/or of the intermediate transfer member, the system may be easily
adapted for increased toner capacity, life and media size, respectively, with
minimum or no effect on form factor and footprint. With extension of the width
of the photoconductor drum(78, 126) and transfer belt (76) components, the
system may be easily adapted for portrait or landscape media orientations.
