Inventor: EELES ALAN GEOFFREY C O KODAK
IPC: G03D3/13
Filed: 1994-04-09
Abstract: It is usual for photographic material to follow a set path along which the material is transported through various processing stages in photographic processing apparatus. The apparatus is arranged so that the material is transported therethrough in one direction only, passing from one processing stage to the next in a pre-arranged sequence. However, it may be desired to re-visit a processing stage positioned upstream of the processing stage from which the material has just exited. Described herein is apparatus in which material being processed can be directed from one processing stage to any other processing stage regardless of its positioning within the apparatus. Two processing tanks (10, 20) containing processing solution (18, 28) and processing racks (11, 21) submerged therein, are connected together by means of two tracks (30, 40). Each track (30, 40) transports the material in either a forward direction or a reverse direction as indicated by arrows 32 and 42 respectively. A plurality of track portions (310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317) connect each processing rack (11, 21) with the two tracks (30, 40). A plurality of switches (102, 202, 300, 302, 400, 402) are provided for directing the material either from one of the tracks (30, 40) into respective ones of the processing racks (11, 21) or from one of the processing racks (11, 21) on to one of the tracks (30, 40).

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for administering epidural anesthesia utilizing an epidural catheter permanently secured at its proximal end (14) to an adapter (56) for putting the catheter in fluid communication with a source of liquid anesthesia. The system employs a splittable needle for inserting the catheter into the peridural space and a guide bar (27) for handling the needle during insertion. For removing, the needle will be gripped along its barrel or gently by the wings and inserted beneath the skin to the desired placement. After placement, the wings (22,24) may be flexed outwardly causing the needle to open up along the longitudinal slit (42), thereby causing splitting or cracking along the longitudinal groove (44) which in turn causes the needle halves following splitting to separate from the catheter (50) within the needle. 
     This active mechanism protects the needle from undesired splitting away during insertion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cleaning tablet, pill or granule packing machines, in particular of rotary tabletting presses, having at least one treatment chamber which encloses the rotor. In order to ensure complete removal of remaining liquid from the treatment chamber and of the components remaining in the latter, in particular of the rotor of a rotary tabletting press, while using a small amount of cleaning and rinsing liquid, a cleaning and a rinsing agent are successively sprayed within the treatment chamber and are sucked off again. Then all the apertures of the treatment chamber are sealed and a low pressure region of about 0.1 to 0.2 bar of absolute pressure is created inside the treatment chamber, which is now encapsulated. The low pressure region sucks the remaining residual moisture from all the bores and connection gaps of the rotor and from the treatment chamber. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Process for water-proofing metal elements, preferably large bobbins, and product used with said process which comprises two phases: an immersion phase and a cooling/drying phase. In the first immersion phase, the metal element is immersed in a liquid plastic material bath during a short period of time but sufficiently long to obtain a hardened layer of small thickness and a penetration of the isolating agent into the material cracks, if any, while in the second phase the plastic film is cooled/dried by aeration which solidifies the synthetic layer formed around the material. Both operations can be carried out by using a crane or hoisting blocks and the tools appropriate to the shape and size of the element to be protected, and the plastic material presented a tonality corresponding to the characteristics of the element, gravings can be performed before and/or after the cooling. The product for water-proofing metal elements is a plastified cellulosic ester which melts at 175°-190 °C forming a film which is all the more transparent and thin than the temperature is high, the part to be protected being immersed in the bath during 20 seconds and dried in ambient air during 30 seconds.
