Patent EP-0804251-B1 (EP)
Inventor: TOURNIER HERVE
IPC: A61K49/18
Filed: 1996-06-14
Granted: 2002-09-25
Abstract: The invention concerns NMR imaging contrast compositions comprising magnetically responsive species coupled to physiologically acceptable amphipatic organic substrate materials in the form of mixed micelles suspended or dispersed in a physiologically acceptable aqueous liquid carrier. The compositions are particularly useful for diagnostic investigations of the blood-pool. The invention also concerns the preparation of the mixed micelles, as well as of injectable compositions containing the mixed micelles as contrast agents for MRI purpose. Once injected, the mixed micelles of the compositions behave as imaging contrast enhancers, e.g. they will improve the quality and resolution of the electronically processed images obtained during MRI examinations of the circulation and/or circulation targeted organs. The compositions are formulated to protect the particles of the contrast agents from early removal by the reticulo-endothelial (RES) system of the liver and the spleen, so that they will stay in the circulation for a time sufficient to properly image the blood vessels and to be transported to selected organs. MRI imaging of the circulation and of targeted organs can strongly assist in diagnosing possible ailments in human and animal patients.

Date Jan. 9, 1997A device for mixing air and water in a water purifier comprises a water inlet pipe (3), which is connected to a water source and extends into a water purifier tank (2), and an air inlet pipe (6) extending coaxially inside the water pipe. One end of the air pipe is positioned outside the tank and the other end is positioned inside the water pipe to form an annular gap (8) between the end (7) of the air pipe and the inner wall of the water pipe. The water pipe has a mixing portion (9, 13) extending from the annular gap (8) to the mouth of the water pipe in the tank. In the mixing portion there is at least one ring (10-12) arranged on the inside of the water pipe and being hit by an annular water jet formed as the water passes through the gap (8), thereby forcing the water to mix with the air.

Title: Electrical power supply with low-loss making-current limitation and step-up converter circuit
Inventor: RAMPOLD ANDREAS

Granted: 1999-06-09
Abstract: An electrical power supply (SVS) is disclosed with a voltage regulator (SR) and a support capacitor (C1). Charging current peaks arising in particular when the power supply is switched on are limited by a current limiting circuit (SBG1). The current limiting circuit (SBG1) is connected in series with the support capacitor (C1), thus preventing load current from flowing through the latter. A step-up converter circuit (HSS) is connected upstream of the current limiting circuit (SBG1) with the particular purpose of advantageously increasing the voltage U. An advantage of the claimed arrangement lies in the fact that, owing to the step-up converter circuit (HSS), the support capacitor (C1) has considerably better support characteristics with regard to the switching regulator (SR1). In addition, the higher voltage U at terminals K1 and K3 reduces the disruptive effects of interference voltages due to the voltage regulator (SR1), thereby eliminating the need for additional interference suppression with the aid of a costly interference suppression circuit.

Abstract: The invention consists of devices for use in assaying fluid test samples for analyte of interest wherein the samples contain or are suspected of containing cells and cellular components. The devices of the invention each include a hydrophilic cell trap (1) for separation of the cellular fraction from the noncellular fraction of the test sample. The latter fraction migrates through porous, absorbent or bibulous membranes (3, 15, 20) of the device which are impregnated with reagents in at least three separate zones comprising a dye zone (15), a test zone (21) and a control zone (22). Formation of a distinctive visual pattern in the control zone indicates that the test was competently performed while formation or relative intensity of the visual pattern in the test zone indicates presence or absence of analyte in the test sample. The devices of the invention are particularly suited for assaying ligands in whole blood without prior separation of erythrocytes and other cells from the blood and without need to measure reflectance in the liquid phase. A method for performing the inventive assays is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Motor pump unit in which the pump comprises a first rotating or orbiting displacement element, which performs a relative movement in relation to a second displacement element. The motor is an electric motor driving the pump directly by means of a common shaft, which extends through a common flange containing the bearing of the shaft, the common flange forming the basis of connection of the motor and the pump. This enables a compact construction of the motor pump unit, demanding no means for connection of motor and pump. The efficiency of the motor pump unit is thus increased. The weight of the motor pump unit can become so low that the unit will be particularly suited for fitting in a portable high pressure cleaner. The motor pump unit can also be used as fuel pump in an oil burner.

Abstract: A template 38 is analyzed to determine step sizes for searching within a search area 40. The template is analyzed by first padding the template with data points to increase its size. Cross-correlation between the padded template 52 and the original template 38 leads to identification of an effective step size along multiple axes. Step sizes for each of a horizontal, vertical and, optionally, a third axis are derived. Third axis step sizes may correspond to rotation, scaling factor, subsampling factor, linear distance, time or frequency. Windows 42 of the search area 40, selected based on the step sizes, then are tested in a fast search by correlating the template to selected windows to derive correlation coefficients. Any tested window which has a correlation coefficient exceeding a given value is a potential match for the template and is subject to a refined stage of comparison. <IMAGE>

In the working position, they take the colored yarn to form loops of different heights. The ground yarn and the colored patterning yarns are distributed among the needles in a number of successive systems. Each row of knitted stitches is either of a ground jersey or structured yarn or is of a number of colored yarns.
