Abstract: Dans des réactions de fluoration par utilisation de fluorure d'hydrogène peuvent être utilisés des catalyseurs, par exemple des catalyseurs d'halogénure d'antimoine, qui sont réduits au cours de la réaction. L'oxydation s'effectue habituellement par introduction d'halogène élémentaire, de préférence de chlore ou de fluor, dans le mélange réactionnel. Selon l'invention, on procède de sorte que l'halogène élémentaire ne vient pas en contact avec les produits initiaux ou intermédiaires réactifs vis-à-vis de l'halogène. De préférence, une partie du mélange réactionnel est extraite du réacteur, la partie extraite est mélangée à du chlore ou du fluor afin de régénérer la catalyseur, puis réintroduite dans le réacteur.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hydraulic buoyant force engine whose essential
component is a plurality of floats (1) engaged to two transmission
chains (6,7) of two sprocket and chain combination units each disposed
at either side of the floats. The float (1) is wrapped with a canvas
(14) supported by several rib units (13). When the float (1) is expanded
by air its buoyancy overcomes its own weight, floats up and drives the
chains (6,7) to move up. When the float comes up to a gear (8) above it,
a gear (17) will mate an annular gear rack (8) to act as an internal
spur gear unit so as to retract the rib units (13) thereby squeezing the
float (1) to discharge the contained air. The shrunk float sinks into
the water together with the two chains.

Abstract: The object is to provide an air bag device that can quickly deploy an air bag into an adequate shape even with a low-output inflator. A bag body (10) includes a lower bag segment (11), an upper bag segment (21), and a partition cloth (31). When the lower bag segment (11) is deployed, it expands to a position such as to hold the shoulders and chest of an adult passenger. When the upper bag segment (21) is deployed, it is shaped like an up-pointing triangular prism that rises from the lower bag segment (11). The partition cloth (31) is positioned so as to separate the lower bag segment (11) and the upper bag segment (21), and has inner vent holes (33). The air bag (10) is folded so that a base portion (13) is offset to the rear side, and the other portions are folded up like a concertina in front of the base portion (13). Even when a low-output inflator (5) is used, the bag body (10) can be quickly deployed into an adequate shape.

Inventor: BEANE RICHARD
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: A device for retracting edges of an incision
in a surface to form an opening including: a
flexible, tubular skirt having an upper end, a lower
end, and a channel therebetween; a ring connected
to the lower end of the skirt for maintaining the
lower end in an open configuration and defining an
exit opening to the channel; and an inflatable collar
connected to the skirt and surrounding the upper
end. The ring is designed to fit through the incision
and remain under the surface when it is oriented
parallel to the surface. The collar, when inflated,
maintains the upper end in an open configuration
and defines an entry opening to the channel.
During use, the ring is inserted through the incision
and the collar is inflated while remaining outside
of the incision, thereby drawing the skirt against
the edges of the incision and retracting the edges
of the incision to form the opening. The retracting
device can be included in a surgical access port,
which further includes a flexible sleeve connected
to at least one of the inflatable collar and the skirt,
extending the channel from the exit opening of the
skirt to an open end of the flexible sleeve distal to
the skirt. The device can include a light source in
the vicinity of the exit opening.

Abstract: The invention provides a flame simulating assembly for providing an image of
flames transmitted in a fluctuating light. The flame simulating assembly has a simulated
fuel bed, a light source, a screen disposed behind the simulated fuel bed for diffusing and
transmitting light, and a flicker element for creating the fluctuating light, the flicker
element being positioned in a path of light from the light source. The simulated fuel bed
defines a profile viewable by an observer. In addition, the screen includes a curved
portion which is curved in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction to correspond
to the profile of the simulated fuel bed. Also, the curved portion of the screen is
positioned adjacent to the simulated fuel bed. The fluctuating light transmitted through
the screen is attenuated and a three-dimensional image of flames appears to curve around
the profile of the simulated fuel bed.

Abstract: A shaped component (2) for rotary drilling equipment such as a drillrod (1), has an outside surface with projecting portions and recessed portions extending in radial directions, perpendicular to the axis in configuration that are helical about the axis of the shaped component. Each helix has an angle of inclination that increases in the axial flow direction of the drilling fluid in an annular space (10).  A shaped component for rotary drilling equipment such as a drillrod, is in the form of a body of revolution of axis coinciding with the drilling axis of rotation, and having an outside surface with projecting portions and recessed portions extending in radial directions, perpendicular to the axis in configuration that are helical about the axis of the shaped component, to produce an effect of controlled stirring and accelerated rise of a drilling fluid, with cuttings in an annular space between the shaped component of the drilling equipment, and the wall of a borehole while the drilling equipment is rotating. Each helix along which the projecting portions and the recessed portions of the shaped component are disposed, has an angle of inclination relative to a plane perpendicular, to the axis of the shaped component that increases in the axial flow direction of the drilling fluid in the annular space, i.e. upwards when the drilling equipment is in its operating position. The axial flow of the drilling fluid is accelerated along the projecting portions, and the recessed portions because of the direction of rotation of the drillrod.
