Title: Method for testing the tightness of air conditioners in motor vehicles
Inventor: MEIER UWE
IPC: G01M3/32
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for testing the tightness of refrigerating machines, particularly air conditioners in motor vehicles, according to which the apparatus that is to be tested is impinged upon by a gas at excess pressure. The aim of the invention is to create a method which detects all leaks, the size of which has an impact on the environment and health, while requiring substantially less effort to be implemented. Said aim is achieved by separating the adapters (7; 8) of a filling and measuring device from the air conditioner following the first test, connecting the adapters (7; 8) of a second measuring device to the air conditioner after an extended period of time, and comparing the test results thereof with the results of the first test, whereupon the air conditioner is deaerated and separated from the adapters (7; 8) of the second measuring device.

Abstract: An optical wavefront correction plate incorporates a unique, three-dimensional spatial retardation distribution utilizing the index of refraction change of resin mixture in its cured state. The optical wave plate comprises a pair of transparent plates, containing a layer of a monomers and polymerization initiators, such as resin mixture. This resin mixture exhibits a variable index of refraction as a function of the extent of its curing. Curing of the resin mixture may be made by exposure to light, such as ultraviolet light, and may be varied across and through the surface of the resin mixture to create a particular and unique three-dimensional wavefront retardation profile. The optical wave plate provides improved performance in large area mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, and ophthalmic diagnostic systems.

Abstract: Foam is introduced (11) into a tool made of electrically non-conducting material and warmed (13) by high frequency electromagnetic energy. During heating the foam temperature is continuously monitored and on reaching a set temperature the heating ceases. The foam filled tool is then moved into a heating unit (15) for final vulcanization of the foam. Foam is introduced (11) into a tool made of electrically non-conducting material and warmed (13) by high frequency electromagnetic energy. During heating the foam temperature is continuously monitored and on reaching a set temperature the heating ceases. The foam filled tool is then moved into a heating unit (15) for final vulcanization of the foam. The high frequency energy (14) for heating is produced by radio and/or microwaves and final heating for vulcanization is performed in a hot air tunnel (15). Heating of the foam in the tool occurs in stages and on completion of each stage is halted for a prescribed time. During heating the tool is moved, preferably horizontally, with oscillating motion in longitudinal and transverse directions. Foam temperature is measured by a fiber optic temperature sensor or from heat radiated by the foam using a pyrometer which moves with the tool to maintain a constant distance from the foam. A side of the tool has a window of a material which transmits IR (infra red) light and heat radiation from the foam is measured by an IR sensor(37) through the window. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) Process equipment which includes a tool support (32) with supporting surface in a radio or microwave field, a foam temperature sensor, a switching system for the radio or microwave field controlled by the output signal from the temperature sensor and a heat storage unit for the foam filled tools; and (b) Molding tool of non electrically conducting, preferably non-metallic, material which has a measuring window in one side.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of
producing a pattern-formed structure, comprising the
processes of: preparing a substrate for a pattern-formed
structure having a characteristic-modifiable layer
whose characteristic at a surface thereof can be modified
by the action of photocatalyst; preparing a
photocatalyst-containing-layer side substrate having a
photocatalyst-containing layer formed on a base material,
the photocatalyst-containing layer containing
photocatalyst; arranging the substrate for a
pattern-formed structure and the
photocatalyst-containing-layer side substrate such that
the characteristic-modifiable layer faces the
photocatalyst-containing layer with a clearance of no
larger than 200 µm therebetween; and irradiating energy
to the characteristic-modifiable layer from a
predetermined direction, and modifying characteristic
of a surface of the characteristic-modifiable layer,
thereby forming a pattern at the
characteristic-modifiable layer. According to this
method, a highly precise pattern can be formed without
necessity to carry out any post-treatment after exposure.
Further, there is no concern that the pattern-formed
structure itself deteriorates because the produced
pattern-formed structure is free of the photocatalyst.

IPC: A61B5/055
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: An optical image-based tracking system determines the position and orientation of
objects such as biological materials or medical devices within or on the surface of a human
body undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Three-dimensional coordinates of the
object to be tracked are obtained initially using a plurality of MR-compatible cameras. A
calibration procedure converts the motion information obtained with the optical tracking
system coordinates into coordinates of an MR system. A motion information file is acquired
for each MRI scan, and each file is then converted into coordinates of the MRI system using a
registration transformation. Each converted motion information file can be used to realign,
correct, or otherwise augment its corresponding single MR image or a time series of such MR
images. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides real-time computer control to
track the position of an interventional treatment system, including surgical tools and tissue
manipulators, devices for in vivo delivery of drugs, angioplasty devices, biopsy and sampling
devices, devices for delivery of RF, thermal energy, microwaves, laser energy or ionizing
radiation, and internal illumination and imaging devices, such as catheters, endoscopes,
laparoscopes, and like instruments. In other embodiments, the invention is also useful for
conventional clinical MRI events, functional MRI studies, and registration of image data
acquired using multiple modalities.
