Inventor: LARKIN MARK E
IPC: A61M39/10

Abstract: A connecting arrangement (10) incorporating a luer connector device and locking ring (26) for the luer connector components of the device and, more particularly, a connecting arrangement for the liquid transfusion between first and second tubing elements which is especially intended for explication in an intravenous administration apparatus, and wherein the arrangement facilitates the locking interengagement and simple separation of the interconnected luer components. The locking ring (26) incorporates a plurality of axially rearwardly extending flexures or tines (32) forming a sleeve-like structure which are adapted to resiliently engage into a reduced diameter portion (44) of the tubular surface about the circumference of the male luer component (24) when the locking ring (26) is moved into its operative position for engaging the female luer component (40). When it is intended to disengage the male and female luer components (24, 40), the flexures (32) on the locking ring (26) utilize the mechanical advantage provided for by rotation of the locking ring in the opposite direction of rotation to exert an axial biasing force against a shoulder (46) on the male luer component (24) at the rearward end of the reduced diameter portion (44) so as to separate the latter from engagement with the female luer component (40).

Abstract: A method for identifying and determining the concentration of nitrous oxide in a gas containing nitrous oxide, oxygen and nitrogen is disclosed. A negative voltage is applied across a set of electrodes (11, 12) separated by an electrolyte wall (13). The voltage is of such a magnitude to produce an electric current which is on a plateau. The current is measured initially using air or oxygen as a test gas. After this reading is taken the gas containing nitrous oxide in oxygen and air is measured for its current and the concentration of nitrous oxide is determined using the two measured currents. The negative voltage can be applied at two different magnitudes to have two currents measured. Nitrous oxide containing mixtures would yield equivalent current readings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a work table on which plural sheets of cloth are piled with the pattern kept matched. Generally, after the pattern is matched, the cloth is cut according to the sewing pattern. Plural electromagnets (46) are disposed on the work table that can be magnetized/demagnetized by turning ON/OFF of the switches. By magnetizing the electromagnets during the pattern matching operation, pin seats (26) of pin devices (24) placed on the electromagnets are firmly attracted to the magnets. Thus, sheets of cloth can be laid one upon another as guided by needles (28) of the pin devices for pattern matching. When the pattern matching is completed, the electromagnets are demagnetized to release the seats from the electromagnets, and air is injected against the cloth through vents (4) provided on the table to facilitate transportation of the piles of cloth.

Filed: 1990-02-20
Abstract: Un procédé de dépôt de verre à écoulement visco-élastique permettant de former des structures isolantes planes et semi-planes sur des dispositifs (202) à semi-conducteurs, consiste à amener des réactifs vaporisés dans une chambre de réaction à une température de réaction comprise entre 750° et 950°C, et à soumettre la surface des dispositifs à semi-conducteurs à des réactifs se déplaçant à une vitesse élevée. La vitesse élevée des réactifs permet la formation d'une couche de verre uniforme (200) de qualité élevée, à des températures compatibles avec la température de fusion de sorte que le dépôt ait lieu simultanément avec l'écoulement visco-élastique du verre. Le dépôt et l'écoulement simultanés produisent un aplanissement topographique sensiblement dépourvu de vides et d'autres défauts de la couche.

Ce même appareil (10) comprend un système de temporisation (30) qui accepte un signal numérisé provenant d'un dispositif, comme un photodétecteur dans un vélocimètre laser à effet Doppler, et génère une pluralité de signaux temporisés. Les signaux temporisés sont ensuite multipliés par les signaux originaux à l'aide d'un système de multiplicateur (40). Les signaux multipliés sont fournis à des circuits qui calculent la moyenne (50). Les signaux dont la moyenne à été calculée sont ensuite comparés à un niveau de référence par des comparateurs (60) dont les signaux de sortie sont fournis à un codeur prioritaire (70). Ce même codeur prioritaire (70) donne la priorité aux signaux reçus en provenance des comparateurs (60) et détermine la longueur de la salve.

Abstract: This invention is a method for converting fine particles of superabsorbent polymers into larger particles. The invention is primarily directed to aqueous solution processes for preparing superabsorbent polymers. In such aqueous solution polymerisation methods, the polymerization reaction product is a high viscosity gel which is dried and ground into particles. In this grinding step, a portion of the product is produced as undesired fine particles having poor absorbency and poor fabrication properties; i.e. they "gel block" and dust. According to the invention, fine superabsorbent polymer particles (up to about 3 parts) are mixed with the high viscosity reaction product gel (100 parts) containing about 20 parts by weight of superabsorbent polymer and water (5 parts per part of recycled particles) to form a mixture with improved rheological properties. The resulting mixture can be processed at a higher rate than a reaction product gel of equal solids content which results in a higher product yield and increased productivity.
