Title: Sliding door for closing an opening in a wall
Inventor: SEGLER PETER
IPC: E05D15/06
Filed: 2001-02-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding door for closing an opening in a wall, comprising a door leaf (1) and a suspension element which supports the door leaf (1), is mounted onto the wall (7) and has castors (3,4) and a sliding and guiding rail (5). According to the invention, the sliding and guiding rail (5) for the castors (3, 4) has a course which runs in such a way that the door leaf (1) is moved during its displacement into the closed position parallel to the wall opening and is lowered. To simplify the opening of the sliding door, the invention is characterized in that at least one support rail (8) which is in contact with the castors (3, 4) in the closed position and runs parallel to the sliding and guiding rail (5) is provided, that said support rail (8) is supported on the wall (7) using energy storing elements (9) and that the support rail (8) can be displaced in relation to the sliding and guiding rail (5) in the direction of the parallel displacement and/or lowering of the door leaf (1) in such a way that the energy storing elements (9) are stressed by the displacement of the door leaf (1) into the closed position.

Title: Catheter with a stent
IPC: A61M27/00
Filed: 1993-02-02
Abstract: A catheter with a cylindrical vessel support (5) consisting of a permeable net of intersecting rigid filaments (6), the vessel support (5) widening, upon its insertion, under its own force and by virtue of its radial elasticity, from a tensioned state with a small circumference to a released state supporting the vessel wall and having a large circumference remaining constant over its length; with a tubular outer catheter shaft (3), which at its distal end receives the tensioned vessel support (5) and from which the vessel support (5) can be released for its insertion; and with a displaceable inner catheter (4) in the inside of the tubular outer catheter shaft (3), which inner catheter axially supports the vessel support (5) at its proximal end, the outer catheter shaft (3) being pulled back relative to the inner catheter (4) for the purpose of releasing the vessel support (5). The catheter is to be further developed so that the vessel support (5) can be removed safely and without difficulties from the vessel (1) after a temporary period of insertion, and the vessel support (5) to be further developed is to be of the self-expanding type in order to ensure that the removable vessel support (5) can be used without risk. The catheter (2) is to be of as simple a design as possible and is to be simple and easy to use, and the flow of the medium is to be obstructed as little as possible during the temporary period of insertion of the vessel support (5) in the vessel. At the same time, a method is to be indicated for producing this catheter. To this end, it is proposed to secure the vessel support (5) gripped at its proximal end so that it forms a permeable conical net (7) opening automatically with the vessel support (5), the radius of the conical net (7) gradually increasing to the radius of the released vessel support (5), and to anchor the vessel support (5) firmly on the inner catheter (4) with the aid of the conical net (7). <IMAGE>

Title: Transfer of shear-thinning slurries
Inventor: PARADIS RONALD
IPC: B01D21/24
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for removing a slurry having shear-thinning visco-plastic rheological properties from a reservoir containing a body of the slurry of such high viscosity that removal is impractical by conventional means, such as gravity flow or suction. The method comprises creating a flow of shear-thinned slurry in a submerged region of the body of slurry to entrain adjacent slurry of high viscosity, and then transferring some of the reduced viscosity slurry from the reservoir. The flow of shear-thinned slurry may be produced by withdrawing slurry from an outlet point in a region of the body of slurry to create a flow of withdrawn slurry, subjecting the flow of withdrawn slurry to shear conditions to form a withdrawn slurry of reduced apparent viscosity, and introducing the withdrawn slurry of reduced apparent viscosity into the region of the body at an inlet point therein spaced from the outlet point, the inlet and outlet points in the region being positioned relative to each other to create a flow or stream of slurry of reduced apparent viscosity through the region carrying therewith slurry of higher viscosity, and removing some of the slurry withdrawn from the region permanently from the reservoir. The apparatus provides conduits and a shear-generating device communicating with the reservoir and an outlet conduit for slurry permanently withdrawn from the reservoir.

Abstract: A calibration method and device for a fluorescence spectrometer which uses fluorescence from a homogeneous solid state standard as the source of calibration fluorescence and wherein the solid state standard may be built into the optical scanner and the calibration may be automatically performed as a routine step when using the optical scanner. A gold standard establishes fluorescent units, and the fluorescence spectrometer is calibrated by reference to calibration standards, such as calibration rubies, which are themselves rated against the gold standard and built into the fluorescence spectrometer to provide an unchanging reference to the gold standard and by which simultaneous calibration of two or more channels of a multi-channel fluorescence spectrometer may be accomplished, including automatically calibrating a multi-channel optical scanner when it is turned on to achieve an acceptable level of sensitivity in each channel and to adjust for any relative shift in sensitivity between the channels.

Title: Method and receiver for receiving and decoding signals modulated with different modulation methods
Inventor: NIKULA EERO
IPC: H04L27/22
Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: A method is presented for demodulating and decoding a block of received digital information consisting of a number of subblocks. One of a predefined number of demodulation methods is selected for demodulating each subblock and each subblock is demodulated with the demodulation method selected for it. The subblocks constituting a block of digital information are combined between their demodulation and the decoding of the block of digital information. Soft decoding is used to decode the block of digital information, wherein each subblock is converted to a sequence of soft decoding values associated with certain probabilities of allowed state transitions in the decoding process. For each subblock it is determined, after its demodulation, whether the correct demodulation method was selected for it. A subblock for which it is found that the correct demodulation method was not selected is converted to a sequence of neutral soft decoding values indicating equal probabilities for all allowed state transitions in the decoding process.

Title: Process and device for draining fuel and lubricant
Inventor: ESSENPREIS MARCUS
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 1996-03-14
Abstract: Dismantling scrap vehicles begins with the draining of fuel and lubricant from the vehicle units like the engine and gearbox. Even after the prescribed period in the "drying station", there still remains no negligible quantity of fuel and lubricant in the vehicle units. According to the invention, a collecting container (1) is fitted to the outlet aperture of the vehicle unit concerned before the scrap vehicle is taken through the dismantling process and remains there throughout said process. It is thus possible to increase considerably the degree of drainage of the scrap vehicle with very little additional effort.
