Abstract: A switching valve (1) having a bottom plate (2), an intermediate plate (3) and a top plate (4). A
distributor (5) rotatably mounted in the intermediate plate (3). The bottom plate (2) has an upper surface (11),
and the distributor (5) has a lower surface (61) which interface with each other. The bottom plate has an
inlet (14) and an outlet (16) spaced from each other and each having an inlet conduit (15) extending from the
inlet (14) to the upper surface (11) of the bottom plate (2) and an outlet conduit (18) extending from the outlet (16) to
the upper surface (11) of the bottom plate (2). The distributor (5) having an inlet conduit (21), an outlet conduit (22)
and a connecting conduit (23) connecting the two together. The distributor inlet conduit (21) is in
communication with the bottom plate inlet conduit (15). The distributor outlet conduit (22) is spaced from
the distributor inlet conduit (15) a distance equal to the space between the bottom plate outlet conduit (18)
and bottom plate inlet conduit (15) so that rotation of the distributor (5) to a predetermined position
places the distributor outlet conduit (22) in alignment with the bottom plate outlet conduit (18) to permit
fluid to flow from the inlet to the outlet and rotation of the distributor to another position
disconnects the distributor outlet conduit (22) from the bottom outlet conduit (18) plate to prevent flow of
the fluid . A pair of o-ring seal (30,31) are located in the bottom plate on each side of the bottom plate outlet conduit (18). An

Abstract: A first magnetostrictive member 1a is housed in a
storage section 2f of a first frame 2a and a second
magnetostrictive member 1b is housed in a storage section 2g of
a second frame 2b. They are fixed by an adhesive, etc., so as
to sandwich a belt-like magnetic member 3 between the frames 2a
and 2b. A sealing plate 4a, 4b is fixed to the opposite side
of the frame 2a, 2b, forming a magnetostrictive resonator 5.
When an electromagnetic wave is applied from the long side
direction of the magnetostrictive member 1a, 1b, a magnetic
field is applied to the magnetostrictive members 1a and 1b.
When the frequency matches the resonance frequency of the
magnetostrictive member, the magnetostrictive resonator 5
vibrates with the maximum amplitude. An electromagnetic wave
emitted from the magnetostrictive member 1a or 1b can be
detected based on mechanical vibration continuing for a short
time still after the magnetic field is stopped.

Abstract: A device useful for localized delivery of a therapeutic material is provided. The device includes a structure including a porous material; and a water-insoluble salt of a therapeutic material dispersed in the porous material. The water-insoluble salt is formed by contacting an aqueous solution of a therapeutic salt with a heavy metal water-soluble salt dispersed throughout a substantial portion of the porous material. The heavy metal water-soluble salt can be dispersed in the porous material so that the device can be sterilized and the therapeutic material can be loaded in the device in situ, for example, just prior to use. The therapeutic material is preferably a heparin or heparin derivative or analog which renders the material antithrombotic as an implantable or invasive device.

IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: A source converter processing method is provided for a source
converter that converts statements written in an assembly language to
statements written in a C language, for example. With regard to the
statement of symbol definition written in the assembly language, the
method analyzes it to detect the symbol definition, information (i.e., name,
definition size and definition address) of which is registered with a symbol
table. Then, the registered content of the symbol table is converted to the
statements of the C language. With regard to the out-of-symbol-definition-statement,
the method detects a reference symbol in connection
with memory operation. Then, the method produces a reference address
and a terminal address based on information regarding the reference
symbol with reference to the symbol table. Thus, the method creates a new
symbol based on the reference address and terminal address, so that
information regarding the new symbol is registered with the symbol table.
Further, with reference to a conversion table that stores information
regarding the memory operation and reference address, the method
determines whether to enable consecutive statement conversion or single
statement conversion, by which the statements of the assembly language
are converted to the statements of the C language in an appropriate manner.
Incidentally, it is possible to store programs and data regarding the source
converter processing method on recording media.

Zur weiteren Reduzierung der Gehalte an NOx und CO in den Abgasen durch Nachverbrennung bzw. Nachoxidation jenseits der Flammenenden werden Sekundärbrennstoffe und stromabwärts weitere Luft zugeführt, um durch den Sekundärbrennstoff in oder über der Kammergitterung (5a, 6a) NOx zu reduzieren und stromabwärt durch die Luftzufuhr eine Nachverbrennung bzw. Nachoxidation durchzuführen, so daß schließlich eine zumindest weitgehend stöchiometrische Verbrennung erfolgt. Die Abgase werden vor dem Eintritt in einen Abgaskamin (15) zur Vorwärmung des Beschickungsguts (12) in mindestens einem Gutvorwärmer (13) verwendet. Um eine nahezu vollständige Rückgewinnung der Energieinhalte der Brennstoffe und einen kontinuierlichen Strom des Beschickungsguts zu gewährleisten, wird die Temperatur der aus den Regeneratoren (6) stammenden Abgase vor dem Eintritt in den mindestens einen Gutvorwärmer (13) gemessen, und die Menge der Sekundärbrennstoffe wird in Abhängigkeit von den gemessenen Temperaturwerten geregelt. <IMAGE>
