Patent EP-0886087-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SPENCER SCOTT C
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 1998-06-18
Abstract: A lip seal for use in low torque, high pressure applications including a rigid
retainer, a resilient body essentially covering the retainer and an inner
support member. The inner support member provides spacing and
orienting functions for the other elements. The inner support member has
a radial dimension and outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of
an outer axial wall of the retainer so that a gap is maintained between the
retainer and the inner support member under a variety of pressure, torque
and shaft deflection conditions. Gap maintaining elements, preferably in
the form of axially extending guides, prevent contact between the rigid
seal elements. The guides may further comprise nub portions at one end
which contain the inner support member in the cavity prior to installation
on the shaft.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to present a
catheter which can be safely inserted into the body and
easily operated in said body. To attain this object, a
catherter whose wall has a polylayer structure with more
than three layers is provided in the present invention.
In said catheter, the mechanical property changes
gradually from inside layer to outside layer to obtain
the minimum difference of the mechanical property
between a pair of layers attaching to each other, so
that high interlaminate strength is guaranteed and
stress concentration is avoided. Further, in the case
where the metal reinforcement is wound on the inner
layer to obtain high rigidity, a catheter has a smooth
surface without unevenness.

Abstract: An advanced liquid cooling system with an
advanced cooling characteristic and high reliability,
which is small in size and light in weight, is provided.
In the liquid cooling system, heating units (2), which are

the vicinity of the heating unit (2) in the base, it is
sufficient to transfer the heat of heating unit (2) to the
liquid refrigerant (6). This enables control of the
