Title: Device for promoting the healing of bone damage
IPC: A61N1/372
Filed: 1973-05-31
Abstract: 1393703 Healing bone damage W KRAUS 31 May 1973 [9 March 1973] 25987/73 Heading A5R An apparatus for promoting the healing of bone damage comprises at least two metal electrodes insertable in the bone, an A.C. supply having a flexible wire being connectable to each electrode by means of interlockable connecting elements. In one embodiment, each electrode is a bone screw 12, Fig 4 whose head is formed as a socket 25, preferably hexagonal, widened at the inner end by a recess 26 into which spring elements 24 are lockable, those spring elements being carried on a plastics cap 18, detachably mounted in the head of screw 12. The cap 18 is preferably mushroom-shaped with a shank which fits in the socket of the screw and has grooves for wire-like spring elements 24, a connecting wire 15 being brought out laterally through a protector 22, to connect the screw 12 to a receiving coil (16) Fig 1 (not shown). The cap is made of P.T.F.E. In an alternative embodiment, Fig 5, metal rods 30 are passed through each part 10a and 10b of the broken bone, the rods being pointed at one end to facilitate insertion, and being drawn together after insertion by turnbuckles 32, 33. The rods 30 act as electrodes and are connected via element 34, each by its respective wire 14, to an A.C. source. The parts of the rods 30, where they pass through the soft tissue 36, are insulated by tubes 38 of thin P.T.F.E., and the turnbuckles 32, 33, may be at least partly of insulating material, e.g. glassreinforced plastics. At least one eye 40 of each turnbuckle comprises an O-ring 42, compressed by clamping screw 43 so that it presses firmly against rod 30. The end of rod 30 remote from the point may form a connecting element, having an annular groove 44 into which the balls of connecting element 34 can lock. The receiving coil 16, serving as an A.C. source, may be clamped to non-insulated places or rods 30 by means of U-shaped metal clamps 45, electrically connected to the ends of the winding of the coil 16. The bone screws may be of a Co-Cr-Mo alloy, and the A.C. supply should not exceed 1 volt(s) with a frequency greater than 1Hz, but preferably less than 100Hz, with a wave-form having gradually rising and falling flanks.

Patent GB-902852-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to stockings and a stocking-making machine
IPC: D04B9/02
Filed: 1959-07-30
Abstract: 902,852. Knitting-machines. LUPARIA, G. July 30, 1959 [July 31, 1958], No. 26115/59. Class 74 (2). Quality control or stitch variation is achieved on a circular rotary needle cylinder machine, arranged to knit surgical elastic garments, for example, stockings for orthopµdie use, by varying the tension of the elastic yarn as it is being fed to the needles of the machine. This is achieved by raising or lowering the needle cylinder to vary the length of draw of the needles and also by varying the extent of the advance of the sinkers which, having a sloping edge over which the yarn is drawn by the needles, causes the position of the yarn on that edge to be varied in relation to the needles whereby a greater or lesser amount is drawn over the sinkers. The quality control arrangements are controlled from a timing chain 28 driven by a motor and through which a shaft carrying a cam 3 is driven. The control is such that either symmetrical or asymmetrical variation in loop structure may be achieved so that, for example, the tubular stocking may be enlarged or decreased uniformly around its circumference, or an uneven variation caused to occur around the circumference whereby a pocket for accommodating the knee is produced. A cam follower 4 imparts movement to an arm 5 and lever 8 which raises or lowers the needle cylinder to vary the draw of the needles. Simultaneously an arm 9 coupled to lever 8 is turned to vary the force imposed by a coil spring 17 bearing against one disc of a disc tensioner through which the elastic yarn passes on its way to the needles so that the tension on the yarn also is varied. The yarn guide also is adapted to engage between the discs when the yarn guide is in its inoperative position so that the discs are opened and the grip on the yarn relieved whilst the guide is in this position. Cams on a cam drum 65 which is driven by the driving motor of the machine are adapted to engage cam followers 63, 66 influencing rods 61, 62 coupled to pivoted members 54, 55, Fig. 10a, so as to move the members out of or into operative positions in which lower portions 52, 53 engage cams 50, 51 of opposite eccentricity rotating with the needle cylinder. The upper portion 56, 57 of the members 54, 55 engage a sinker cam so that as the cams 50, 51 rotate, depending on whether member 54 or 55 is operative, the sinker cam will move during the formation of a course to vary the length of the stitches throughout the course, one member 54 causing a bulge to be formed at one side of the stocking and the other member 55 causing a bulge to be formed at the other side. In addition, the timing chain 28 influences the rods 61, 62 through mechanism 71 . . . 74 to render the members 54, 55 inoperative when desired. Moreover, mechanism is provided for rendering the mechanism inoperative during the formation of a heel.

Title: Process for the manufacture of substituted indoles
IPC: C07D209/08
Filed: 1927-10-04
Abstract: 303,467. Carpmael, A., (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges.). Oct. 4, 1927. Substituted indoles are prepared by heating a monoacylamino compound of the aromatic series having a methyl group in the ortho position with sodamide in the presence of a diluent. That part of the sodamide which is utilized in forming the sodium salt of the acylamino compound may be replaced by metallic sodium. The diluent may be distilled off during the process. According to examples aceto-o-toluidine is heated with sodamide and metallic sodium in the presence of a solvent such as. naphthalene, dimethylaniline, diethylaniline or other tertiary aromatic amine whereby alpha-methyl indole is produced. In a second example, sodium aceto-o-toluidine and sodamide are heated in the presence of a solvent and in a further example 2 : 5-dimethylindole is obtained by heating 2-acetylamino-1 : 5-dimethylbenzene with sodamide and diethylaniline. In a similar manner 2 : 7-dimethylindol is obtained from .acetylated vic m-xylidine and a-phenylindole from benzoyl-o-toluidine.

Abstract: 1408246 Protective systems SOC ANON DBA 1 June 1973 [21 June 1972] 26293/73 Heading H2K [Also in Division F2] A monitoring and protective device of an anti-skid assembly responsive to variations in electrical input signals has filter elements providing output signals from low amplitude random interference signals and arranged that the output signals may be summated and fed to a threshold device which is operable to block the transmission to the anti-skid circuit of at least one input signal. As shown, the anti-skid circuit C normally receives signals from a battered circuit via terminal 110 and from a wheel speed responsive circuit from a terminal 116. Interference signals from the battery circuit are filtered in a circuit comprising capacitors 140, 148 and resistors 138, 152 whilst such signals in the speed circuit are filtered in a circuit comprising a capacitor 136 and resistor 142 arranged to summate the filtered signals in a transistor T 1  which acts as a non-inverting amplifier so that capacitor 148 output controls a transistor T 2  which at its threshold value conducts to earth the point between resistor 13 and diode 134 to prevent the signal from 116 reaching the anti-skid circuit C.

The rapiers 36, 55 have resiliently mounted members 42, (61) which have abutments which engage in recesses 22, 19 on the carrier, the abutment on the pushing rapier, being so shaped that the pulley rapier 55 can pull the carrier 1 off the pushing rapier. The abutment 62 of the pulling carrier is disengaged on the receiving side of the shed by a stationary abutment (124) Fig. 15 (not shown) which depresses a web on member (61) to release abutment 62 from recess 19. Weft is engaged on the carrier between a nose 21 and a pivoted arm 7 which is biassed against it by leaf springs, and is released therefrom on the receiving end of the loom by a stationary abutment 34 which acts on a protective cover 6 of the shuttle attached to the arm 7. The rapiers are driven by eccentric drives 103, 104, which are slightly out of phase with each other, so that the pulling rapier is beginning its return movement and moving in the same direction at the same speed as the pushing rapier when the carrier is transferred. Both the rapiers and the carrier slide in a common set of guides 17, Fig. 7 on the sley.
