Title: A cartridge type coating system
Inventor: YOSHIDA OSAMU
IPC: B05B15/55
Filed: 2001-04-19
Abstract: A paint cartridge (31) is provided with a wash fluid passage (43) which is in communication with a paint chamber (36), along with a wash fluid valve (45) which is adapted to open and close the wash fluid passage (43). Provided on the side of a replenishing stool (52) are a replenishing valve (61) which supplies or discharges paint to or from the paint chamber (36), an extruding thinner feed/discharge valve (86) which supplies or discharges paint-extruding thinner to or from an extruding thinner chamber (37), and a wash fluid supply valve (101) which supplies a wash fluid to the paint chamber (36) through the wash fluid passage (43).  Accordingly, upon opening the replenishing valve (61), wash fluid supply valve (101) and wash fluid valve (45), a wash fluid from the wash fluid supply valve (101) is allowed to flow into the paint chamber (36) through the wash fluid passage (43) and discharged through a feed tube (34) to wash away deposited paint therefrom.

Title: Light diffuser
Inventor: HAGENBACH UWE
IPC: F21V3/00
Filed: 2001-05-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a light diffuser (1) comprised of a holding device and of an at least partially transparent inflatable bag (3), which can be detachably connected to said holding device. The holding device is equipped with an adapter ring (4) provided for attachment to a projector (2) and for holding the bag. In addition, the adapter ring is closed such that it is transparent and pressure sealed with regard to the attachment side, and means for supplying a gaseous filling medium are provided on the holding device.  According to the invention, a compressed gas connection and an electronically actuatable valve for supplying gas are provided on the adapter ring. A first pressure sensor (7) determines the increasing inner pressure when the sack is fixed to the ring and sends a switch-off signal to the valve once an adjustable maximum pressure value is reached in order to automatically stop the filling. A second sensor (11) is also provided for detecting the ambient pressure so that a switch-off signal can be derived based on a predeterminable differential pressure value.

Title: Conduit designs and related methods for optimal flow control
Inventor: SHIM EUN BO
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-09-11
Abstract: A bypass conduit and related methods include implanting a bypass in the heart between a heart chamber and an at least partially occluded artery to directly flow blood from the chamber to the artery. The bypass conduit is configured to have a higher resistance to blood flow in a first direction than in a second direction without any active flow control mechanism. The bypass conduit may have a first end defining a first opening and a second end defining a second opening and a wall extending between the two ends that defines a lumen extending between the two openings. The ends and the wall of the conduit are configured to have a higher resistance to blood flow in a first direction than in a second direction. A method of bypassing an at least partially occluded artery includes determining a resistance to blood flow of the artery at a location of an at least partial occlusion and selecting a conduit having a configuration based on the resistance to blood flow of the artery at the location of the at least partial occlusion. The method further includes implanting the conduit in a heart wall between the heart chamber and the artery downstream of the at least partially occlusion to directly flow blood between the chamber and the artery.

Abstract: A product display shelving assembly is provided for displaying products to retail customers. The shelving assembly includes a pair of shelves in which one of the shelves is suspended from the other by a plurality of suspension pieces. Because the suspended shelf does not require a dedicated horizontal support member, a higher proportion of the shelving assembly's frontal area can be used for displaying products as compared to many types of conventional display shelving. More products can be thus displayed in a given space, less inventory needs to be warehoused and customers can shop more conveniently. The product display may be embodied in new shelving assemblies or conventional display shelving assemblies can be upgraded to accept the improved shelves.
