Abstract: An intraurethral, Foley-type catheter shaft (32) contains a microwave antenna (74), which is surrounded by means (64A-64B, 66A-66B) within the shaft (32) for asymmetrically absorbing electromagnetic energy emitted by the antenna (74) - a greater amount of electromagnetic energy being absorbed on one side of the shaft (32). This asymmetrical absorption effectively focuses microwave thermal therapy toward undesirous benign tumorous tissue growth of a prostate anterior and lateral to the urethra, and protects healthy tissue posterior to the urethra. Means (64A-64B, 66A-66B) also absorbs thermal energy conducted by the periurethral tissue, which protects the urethra while the antenna (74) is energized (Fig. 5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of making microstructure bodies of plastic material. A microstructured plate-like base body which is made by any known molding procedure and which has a first side serving as a first reference plane and a second side which has plastic microstructures projecting therefrom is covered at its second side with a material layer that engages the microstructures, whereupon the material layer is machined to provide a second reference surface parallel to the first reference surface and the base body is then machined parallel to the second reference surface to expose the microstructures projecting therefrom and the material layer is finally removed selectively with respect to the plastic material to release the microstructured bodies.

Abstract: The cash safe (1) has a safe operating unit (7) to be operated selectively by two cashiers (4a, 4b), with only a single banknote output (11) and input (39) unit. The dispensing orifice of the banknote output unit (11) can be closed by means of a two-part cover (13a, 13b). For dispensing banknotes, only that orifice part adjacent to the respective cashier (4a, 4b) is opened in each case. This results in a perfect allocation of the cash sum supplied for one of the two bank employees. Even if there is carelessness, the second bank employee cannot take hold of the banknote bundle supplied for the first bank employee. Preferably, the safe operating unit (7) can be removed from the safe base unit (15) of the cash safe (1), the safe base unit (15) containing a banknote store. The top side of the safe base unit (15) adjacent to the safe operating unit (7) is completely closed, with the exception of a narrow slot, through which the banknotes can be dispensed from or introduced into the banknote store. That is to say, with the safe operating unit (7) removed, there is sufficient protection against unauthorised access to the banknote store. For a choice of routes of the banknotes from banknote input unit (39) to the banknote store or to the banknote dispensing unit (11) or from the banknote store to the banknote dispensing unit (11), a bar-shaped route selection element rotatable about its longitudinal axis is used. The route selection element is pierced at least with a longitudinal slot. An input orifice of an input unit (39) for banknotes can be closed by means of a swing-open cover (57). A lever of a two-armed lever arrangement is arranged on the cover. By means of the lever arrangement, a banknote pressure plate for pressing the banknotes down in order to separate them can be pressed onto a bearing plate. During the pressing-down operation, the banknote pressure plate is movable parallel to the surface of the bearing plate by the lever arrangement as a result of the closing of the cover. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling device for a conveyor apparatus which is used particularly for in-house suspended conveyance in the clothing industry, the conveyor apparatus having a carrier rail which is suspended on a running rail or the like and on which carrier tubes (7) as holding devices are mounted displaceably via carrier yokes (15). According to the invention, adjacent carrier tubes (7) can be selectively coupled to one another by means of hook-on coupling members (1, 2). There is provided for this purpose a blocking device (20, 21) for the selective blocking and release of the coupling connection of adjacent carrier tubes (7), the said blocking device (20, 21) comprising a blocking chock (22) which is assigned to the respective coupling member (1, 2), is connected to the carrier-tube end and is pivotable between a blocking position and a release position, in which it does not prevent the coupling engagement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low air loss patient support system (20) includes a plurality of identical multi-chambered inflatable sacks (34). A restrictive flow hole (64) connects two adjacent chambers (46, 54) disposed predominately to one side of the centerline of the sack, and each side is separately pressurizable under the control of a microprocessor (160) and a plurality of pressure control valves (162) with pressure transducers and a plurality of flow diverter valves (220) for switching between different modes of configuring the manner in which the sacks are pressurized. The system includes a modular manifold (128) for mounting the pressure control valves (162), and a modular support member for mounting the sacks via quick-disconnect couplings and having air flow channels defined therethrough. The support system can rotate or tilt the patient by depressurizing one side of the sacks (34) while increasing the pressurization of the opposite side of the sacks. An end chamber (46) of the depressurized side of each sack remains inflated while the adjacent intermediate chamber (54) becomes progressively deflated during depressurization to permit the end chambers to restrain the patient from sliding off the sacks during tilting. The support system can relieve pressure points between the patient and the sacks while elevating the head and chest of the patient by reconfiguring the diverter valves (162) to connect alternating sacks at the same pressure and periodically decreasing the pressure in one group of sacks while increasing the pressure in another group of sacks alternately to relieve the pressure of and on the patient between the two different groups of sacks depending upon which group is depressurizing and which group is being increased in pressure.

Abstract: Selon les principes de la présente invention, les inventeurs ont tiré avantage du fait que la vitesse de fonctionnement du matériel numérique dans une unité numérique de formation de faisceaux à plusieurs canaux récepteurs parallèles peut être réduite en assignant des phases multiples aux signaux de données fournis par chacun des canaux récepteurs, puis en traitant les données multiphases dans N chemins d'addition parallèles. Un filtre d'interpolation-décimation reçoit les données multiphases provenant des N chemins d'addition parallèles et fournit en sortie un signal à faible débit (1/N). Selon cette technique la vitesse de fonctionnement des circuits numériques individuels de création des retards requis de formation des faisceaux n'est pas accrue par rapport aux procédés usuels d'interpolation postérieure à la formation des faisceaux, si bien que le débit effectif s'en trouve accru d'un facteur N et que l'erreur de quantification des retards s'en trouve réduite d'un facteur N.
