Abstract: A sealing membrane (8) is fixed to a structure using a thermo-welding tool with a welding pressure plate (17) to melt contacting layers between tool fastening elements and the membrane. A sealing membrane (8) is fixed to an underlying structure by (a) fixing a welding tool to one or more fastening elements (2, 5) attached to the structure and then positioning a welding plate (17) of the tool w.r.t. the welding zone; (b) applying pressure onto the welding plate (17) and heating the welding zone for melting the contacting layers between the fastening element and the membrane; (c) reducing the pressure and directing cooling air onto the welding plate (17) until the plate reaches the contact layer solidification temperature; and (d) detaching and lifting the tool from the fastening element (2, 5). Independent claims are also included for the following: (i) a fastening element for use in the above process, comprising a cap (2), which is fixed by a fastener (1) to the underlying structure, and a mechanical joint element (5) between the cap (2) and the membrane (8); and (ii) a thermo-welding tool used in the above process and comprising a heater body (15) which incorporates a heating element (16) and which holds a welding plate (17) for application onto the exterior side of the membrane (8) and onto the welding zone around a fastening element (2, 5), the welding plate (17) being displaceable around a central tube (13) equipped with a mechanism (28) for anchoring to the fastening element (2).

Abstract: The invention proposes to suck up foul air directly at source, that is from inside the bowl (C), by means of a continuous conduit (10, 9, 7, 4) wherein is integrated or incorporated the flush water tank (1) overflow conduit (7). The foul air is sucked up into the continuous conduit by mechanical ventilation (VM). A bell (20), combined with orifices (30) provided in the tube (7), enables said tube to function as overflow without allowing the foul air to come into contact with the water, without suction head loss. The invention can be easily applied industrially to newly installed washroom facilities, and in hotels as well as for renovating/rehabilitating existing ones.

Abstract: The syringe includes a barrel, a plunger and an adapter for mounting the needle in the distal end of the barrel. The proximal end of the plunger includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth having radially projecting fingers with contact surfaces. The adapter includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth having undercut surfaces. By advancing the plunger to engage the adapter and rotating the plunger relative to the adapter and syringe barrel, the plunger and adapter are locked to one another. By further rotating the plunger and adapter, the adapter is unscrewed from the barrel end and withdrawn with the syringe needle into the interior of the barrel. The plunger may be broken off adjacent the adapter and inserted, broken end first, into the distal end of the barrel to seal the barrel.

Abstract: A system and method to connect standard telephone subscriber equipment (telephone, facsimile, personal computer) to a fixed wireless terminal via power lines. The system comprises fixed wireless terminals connected to a power line interface device. Subscriber equipment is connected to the power line interface device thereby allowing telecommunication signals to be transmitted to the fixed wireless terminal for subsequent wireless transmission. The fixed wireless terminal exists at an individual subscriber's home/business within a given step-down power transformer cluster. The step-down power transformer provides signal isolation so that the same or similar addresses can be used between clusters without confusion as to the identity of the individual subscriber. The FWT is also connected to the power meter at a subscriber location such that power utilization can be communicated to the power company in a wireless fashion.

Abstract: An air shutoff agent for an aqueous reagent or an aqueous specimen (hereinafter referred to as "aqueous reagent or the like") which comprises as an effective component a mixture of a chain hydrocarbon (linear or branched) and a silicone oil which is immiscible with the aqueous reagent or the like and has a specific gravity lower than that of the aqueous reagent or the like; and a method for storing the aqueous reagent or the like with stability which comprises placing the mixture over the surface of the aqueous reagent or the like. The placement of the air shutoff agent for an aqueous reagent or the like over an aqueous reagent or an aqueous specimen results in the stable storage of an effective component in an aqueous analytical reagent and a component to be determined in an aqueous specimen, and the air shutoff agent has an advantageous characteristic that when the agent flows into a reaction vessel of an autoanalyzer it does not soil the reaction vessel.

Title: Topical cream that heals nappy (diaper) rash, minor burns, food oil burns and skin irritations.
Inventor: GRAINNE CATHERINE PEOPLES
IPC: A61K36/00
Filed: 2019-01-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a topical cream that offers relief and healing properties for nappy (diaper) rash, minor burns, food oil burns and skin irritations. The cream is prepared in a consistency relevant to the ailment. A thinner consistency cream is prepared for burns where minimum rubbing is desired to avoid adding to the pain of the burn. A thicker consistency cream is prepared for nappy rash where a barrier is desired to coat the rash and reduce further exposure to urine or faeces. The invention offers a product made of natural origin materials which work with the skin to sooth and recover the damage of the rash, burn or irritation. Feasibility trials conducted have shown extreme incidents of nappy rash to dramatically improve within a matter of hours, and virtually healed after a day of application to the affected area.
