Abstract: A coupling member is disclosed for use in connecting together flexible tubes and the like. The coupling member is adapted for connection with a mating coupling member, and includes an outer rigid coupling component which is thermally resistant and an inner coupling component which is thin and flexible, so that the inner coupling component can provide a penetrable seal and whereby the overall coupling member is capable of withstanding autoclaving temperatures so that it can be sterilized prior to use. A coupling device including such a coupling member is also disclosed, including a second coupling member which is capable of mating with the first coupling member and which includes a penetrating portion so that when the two coupling members are mated, the penetrating portion of the second coupling member penetrates the inner coupling component of the first coupling member. The disclosed coupling device is primarily intended for use in connection with a treatment method known as CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis).

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for a pool or tank has caterpillar tracks controlled by steering clutches actuated by a regulating device with a compass as a measured course value sensor, a setting device for the desired course value, a comparator for determining the error between the measured course value and the desired course value. The apparatus follows in oblique path from one travel path to the next by modifying the desired course by a given angle. After a given time, the desired course value is again modified by the same amount in the opposite direction, so that the cleaning apparatus returns parallel to the first path. By setting the angle and duration for the oblique travel, the new travel path can be selected independently of the dimensions of the pool to be cleaned.

Abstract: A process for scrubbing exhaust gases from diesel engines using filter cartridges of open pore ceramic foam are such that the filter cartridges are situated in the exhaust gas stream such that the exhaust gases strike the filter cartridge end and flow through it parallel to its central axis. As a result the amount of soot deposited is greatest in the part of the cartridge first meeting the inflowing exhaust gases, and decreases rapidly with increasing throughput; consequently the low efficiency part contributes greatly to the undesired backpressure. The proposed process, in which the exhaust gases flow through the most efficient part of the filter cartridge made of open pore ceramic foam, is such that the exhaust gases flow essentially transverse to the longitudinal axis and thus does not exhibit these disadvantages. The filter cartridge comprise an open pore ceramic foam for carrying out the process of the invention and comprises a cylinder with cylindrical shaped opening the central axis of which coincides with that of the cylinder. The opening can be closed at one end.
