Granted: 1996-09-04
Abstract: A process for making an absorbable, annealed surgical device made from a multi-phase, polymeric composition derived from lactide and glycolide is disclosed. The device has a high distortion temperature, good resistance to hot wet creep, but yet loses tensile strength in vivo quickly. The composition per se is injection-moldable, can be annealed, and is not brittle. The process of the invention comprises polymerizing a first monomer mixture containing a predominant amount of lactide, followed by polymerization of a second monomer mixture in the presence of the first monomer mixture. The polymer is then formed and the surgical device annealed. The first monomer mixture contains a predominant amount of lactide and the second monomer mixture contains glycolide.

Granted: 1993-09-22
Abstract: Secondary discharge slots (2) are cut into the face (1) of newly made or used extrusion dies such that the secondary discharge slots (2) communicate transversely and longitudinally with primary discharge slots (3) but do not communicate with the feed holes (7). An extrusion die arrangement is set forth for the production of ceramic honeycomb structures which produce a greater number of cells per square inch, protrusions on the cell walls, or a combination of both dependent upon the Primary Slots' Volume to Secondary Slots' Volume ratio. The secondary discharge slots 2) can produce honeycomb substrates with much greater surface areas, using an extrusion die with a significantly reduced number of feed holes (7) and a greater number of discharge slots.

Title: Vertically adjustable mounting for a trailer hitch
IPC: B60D1/46
Filed: 1989-06-07
Granted: 1993-01-27
Abstract: A vertically adjustable mounting for a trailer hitch, in particular for agricultural vehicles, is described, in which, in a manner known per se, a coupling mouth carrier (1) which carries the coupling mouth (2) is guided in vertical guide rails on the vehicle and can be locked in various vertical positions. For the purpose of locking, two bolts (7) are arranged in the coupling mouth carrier and can be moved between an unlocking position retracted into the coupling mouth carrier and a locking position extended out of said coupling mouth carrier and engaging in bores of the guide rails. Whilst consciously dispensing with single-hand operation of the vertical adjustment, this trailer coupling is designed in such a way that whilst offering a high degree of operating safety it can be manufactured noticeably more economically than is the case in vertically adjustable mountings for trailer hitches with single-hand operation. For this purpose, the two bolts are moved by means of special handles (8) between the locked position and the unlocked position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In addition to the fire characteristics (BKG), e.g. smoke density (RD), heat or warmth (temperature T) and flame, environmental characteristics (UKG) such as temperature (T), atmospheric humidity (F) and atmospheric pressure (L) are continuously measured and used to determine the respective compensation values with which the alarm measured values are compensated, the compensated alarm measured values being further processed to form alarm criteria. In this case, the compensation can take place in the respective fire alarm itself, or be carried out in the control centre of the fire alarm system, it being the case that in addition to the analog alarm measured value the analog measured values of the environmental characteristics are regularly transmitted to the control centre. The environmental characteristics (UKG) are measured in the region of the fire alarm. A microcomputer is used to calculate the respective compensation values therefrom with the aid of algorithms or conversion tables. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fluid delivery manifold (10) especially designed for water systems in buildings and residences is the subject of this invention. The manifold is formed from a plurality of identically configured fittings (12) provided with male and female ends (16 & 18) so that like fittings may be frictionally joined without the need for thermal welding. Retaining rods (60) extend the length of a gang of joined fittings (12) and are designed to provide compressive forces to maintain the fittings in sealing relationship. The fittings (12) are joined together in pairs which make an integral unit so that side-by-side hot and cold water manifolds may be presented in one assembly operation. The juncture between the integral pair of fittings is, however, designed to present a line of weakness (X) so that the two fittings may be separated if desired. Each fitting has three equal flat elongated surfaces which are disposed at 90 DEG relative to each other so that fittings may be joined in three different rotational positions.
