Patent EP-1007146-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PAUL RAM H JR
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1998-07-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un clapet (10) pouvant servir de clapet de non-retour ou de clapet auto-obturateur pénétrable, hémostatique, permettant de fermer hermétiquement un instrument (12) d'insertion de cathéter. Ce clapet comprend un élément (26) d'obturation présentant une résistance élevées à la déchirure et aux fuites, mais supportant néanmoins la pénétration répétée de dispositifs de diamètres très variables. Cet élément (26) d'obturation est en forme de disque et est formé d'un élastomètre styrénique thermoplastique tel qu'un copolymère séquencé styrène-éthylène/butylène-styrène, présentant une faible dureté au rebondissement (ne dépassant pas 30 Shore A environ). L'élément (26) d'obturation, de préférence entouré d'un corps (40) de clapet, est comprimé entre un siège (48) de clapet disposé dans le corps (40) de clapet et un capuchon (56) assemblé au corps (40) de clapet. L'élément (26) d'obturation comprend au moins une perforation (34) qui est fermée par la compression ainsi réalisée. Sous l'effet de cette compression, l'élément (26) d'obturation présente en outre une surface (30) amont ou proximale concave, ce qui le rend très résistant à l'inversion durant les retraits et manipulations répétés des dispositifs d'intervention passant à travers le clapet (10). Ce clapet présente l'avantage particulier de fermer hermétiquement d'insertion (12) avec un haut degré d'efficacité lorsque l'élément (26) d'obturation n'est traversé par aucun dispositif d'intervention, et d'offrir une résistance élevée à la déchirure lorsqu'il est pénétré par des dispositifs de gros diamètre. Le clapet (10) permet en outre de passer aisément des dispositifs sans interférer avec la perception tactile ('sensation') transmise par ces derniers.

Abstract: A method of heat exchange uses a non-azeotropic mixture of refrigerants in plate heat
exchangers (4,6,) which accommodate variations in the relative proportions of liquid
and vapour refrigerant, allowing the refrigerant in the two phases to main in
equilibrium throughout the flow path through the heat exchanger (4, 6,). The
configuration of the channel for the refrigerant through the heat exchanger (4, 6,) is
arranged so that the resistance to the flow of refrigerant is greater towards one end
than towards the other end. This can be achieved by one or more of the plates having
a surface profile (14) which is configures so that the resistance to flow of heat
exchange fluid along the channel is greater in one region (18, 20) along the length of
the channel than in another region (16, 22).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for detecting a stack height of sheets (21)
stacked in an input and/or output tray (2) of an apparatus, said device comprising
a feeler (10) cyclically controlled and driven by means of a drive unit (12) and a
control unit toward the sheet stack (21) in the stacking direction into a sensing
position, and a sensor (11) detecting the sheet stack height and recognizing the
sensing position of the feeler. To create a device which on the one hand has a
simple, compact design along with freely selectable measurement steps and high
measurement accuracy at each stack height, and on the other hand allows quiet
and vibration-free operation, a controllable stepping motor (120) is provided, by
means of which the feeler (10) is movable from a predeterminable initial position
(y, z') toward the sheet stack (21) and into the sensing position (y', z), such that
the stack height can be determined on the basis of the number of motor steps
detected from the initial position until the sensing position of the feeler is recognized.

Abstract: When a wire "a" is pressed into a pressure connection
terminal of a connector C, an end portion of the wire "a" is clamped
by a wire curvature correcting chuck 47, and the wire curvature
correcting chuck 47 is slid in a pulling direction along the
surface of a sheathing of the wire "a" in a state in which the
feeding of the wire "a" is stopped, thereby correcting a curvature
in the wire "a" so as to allow a press-in blade S to reliably grip
the wire "a" and depress the same. In addition, in conjunction
with the retraction of the wire curvature correcting chuck 47,
its open/closed state is monitored by an opening/closing sensor
to detect the amount of the projecting allowance of the wire "a"
with respect to pressure connection, and a required measure can
be adopted if the projecting allowance is insufficient.

Abstract: A network repeater having a plurality of repeater ports selectively establishes links with remote
nodes at one of two data rates based on the capabilities of the remote network node and a determined link
integrity. A network repeater establishes a link with a network node using auto-negotiation techniques to
establish a 100 Mb/s link. The network repeater than monitors the link for symbol errors, and determines
an integrity of the link based on a detected number of symbol errors relative to a prescribed threshold. If
the detected number of symbol errors reaches the prescribed threshold, indicating poor link integrity due to
poor cable connection or condition, faulty network device, etc., the network repeater performs a down
shifting operation by breaking the established 100 Mb/s link, and restarting auto-negotiation to establish a
10 Mb/s link. Hence, the network repeater may monitor high-speed links for link integrity, and selectively
downshift a link encountering a substantial number of errors to a reduced data rate, without a necessity of
a network manager or other remote management function.
