Patent EP-0202779-B1 (EP)
IPC: A61B5/06
Filed: 1986-04-21
Granted: 1990-10-03
Abstract: An apparatus particularly suited for measuring the shape or contour of a surface under load, such as a mattress, is comprised of a humanoid having body limb extremities which are movable in a manner similar to the movement of comparable human extremities. Sensors are placed at joints, such as the knees and hips, to measure the amount of relative movement, i.e. deflection, that occurs at these joints when the humanoid is placed upon a mattress surface. The sensors provide an indication of the shape or contour of the mattress surface by correlation of the relative movement that occurs at these joints caused by the underlying mattress shape. In its preferred form, a movable frame is provided to raise and lower the humanoid in relation to the mattress surface to be tested. A "spine" is also advantageously provided with associated sensors to measure deflection, and thus surface contour, in the lower torso/abdominal region.

Abstract: An infusion device for a syringe includes a ratcheted stepper motor (50) driven intermittently under the control of a control circuit to advance a syringe plunger driver (32). Different speeds are determined by the detected size of the syringe in the device. A clutch assembly (114) disengageably connects the plunger driver (32) to a drive belt (72) driven by the stepper motor. A connector (126) for a tubing set has a syringe-connect portion (136) located in a recess of the connector, and cooperates with a force sensor (164) in the device to detect occlusions. The connector has annular projecting portions with parallel, spaced apart actuating surfaces (160, 180) for engagement of the force sensor in either of two positions of the connector in the device. The connector is adapted to indicate to a sensor in which position it is located.

Abstract: Procédé de commande d'un moteur à induction triphasé dans lequel un courant primaire est produit en tant que commande de courant en prenant en considération toutes les constantes d'un moteur à induction (d) pour obtenir un couple de sortie linéaire par rapport à la commande de couple (Tm), et une tension est détectée en une partie de liaison à courant continu pour modifier la commande du flux d'excitation en fonction de la tension continue (V). La sortie peut ainsi être maintenue constante indépendamment des variations de la tension de la source de puissance. Est également prévu un organe de régulation du facteur de puissance (q) pour ajuster les phases de la tension et du courant du côté de la source de courant alternatif pendant l'opération de freinage à régénération, de manière à réduire la puissance réactive.

Abstract: The coaxial loudspeaker (1) has a low-frequency diaphragm (2), a high-frequency diaphragm (3) and in each case one magnetic circuit (11 and 12, respectively) for the voice coils (9 and 10, respectively) connected to the diaphragms. The magnets (13, 14) of the two magnetic circuits (11, 12) are arranged with like poles (N) located opposite one another and exhibit a common pole plate (15). The elastic points of attachment of the voice coils (9, 10) at the two diaphragms (2, 3) are located in one plane. The result of this design is that sound components radiated by both diaphragms (2, 3) are radiated in the same phase with the same frequencies. In addition, the common pole plate (15) increases the magnetic flux density in the air gaps of the two magnetic circuits (11, 12) and reduces the stray flux. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ankle-joint brace is formed as a tube of a heat-shapable synthetic resin formed along its full length on one side with a throughgoing entry slot. The tube is sufficiently deformable that the slot can be spread widely enough to accommodate a patient's ankle region. This slot allows the flexible brace to be opened up enough to be removed. The tube is further formed with a heel seat complementary to the patient's heel and a sole part extending forwardly from the heel seat and complementary to the distal surface of the patient's instep. In addition it is formed with an instep part complementary to the proximal surface of the patient's instep, bounding part of the slot, and joined on the side opposite the slot to the sole part. Opposite the slot the tube is formed with a window accommodating the respective prominence of the patient's calcaneous and the slot is widened similarly to accommodate the respective prominence of the patient's calcaneous.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for separating knots. In particular the method and the apparatus are meant to be used in separating knots from fibre suspensions of the wood processing industry. The knotter according to the invention uses a profiled screen cylinder (5) with which it has been found from performed tests to be most preferable to feed the pulp from the connections (2) in the direction of rotation of the screen cylinder and also to discharge the reject from the connections (4) and the accept from the connections (3) of the cylinder (5) in the direction of rotation. As a result, there is not only less wear of the screen surface, but also a significantly smaller consumption of power per pulp ton than in the apparatuses in accordance with the prior art.

Granted: 1993-07-14
Abstract: A lyophilization stopper made of a rubber elastic material is composed of a shank (1) and a circular disc shaped flange (2) made in one piece with the shank. The shank includes a cavity (4) which surrounds the longitudinal axis (A) of the shank and is open toward the free end face (3) of the shank, while extending toward a central closed wall portion (2b) of the flange. A first section (Z1) of the shank disposed between a first transverse plane (Q1) and a second transverse plane (Q2) has a closed outer circumferential face which has a maximum diameter (D). A subsequent second section (Z2) includes a passage which communicates with the cavity as well as a plurality of projecting blocking elements (14a-14c). The inner wall surface (19) which laterally delimits the cavity (4) and has an increasing diameter with increasing approach to the free shank end face lies completely outside a cone (K) whose axis is the longitudinal axis (A) of the shank, whose tip (K1) lies in the transverse plane (Q1) and whose tip angle ( beta ), in degrees, is larger than a value calculated according to the formula -39+75xlg (D),  where "D" is the maximum diameter (D) of the first section (Z1) measured in millimeters. In this way, a particularly utilitarian stopper is obtained which does not interfere with the insertion of the hollow extraction needle.

Abstract: Le procédé et l'installation ci-décrits se rapportent de préférence aux opérations de creusement de la partie de terrain naturel dans laquelle on veut construire le tunnel, à partir des extrémités opposées, ces opérations consistant à utiliser un couple d'excavatrices à bouclier et à relier ensuite les deux moitiés du tunnel dans une partie intermédiaire. Dans une opération consistant à joindre les deux moitiés d'un tunnel en sous-sol, il est important que le tunnel soit isolé de manière fiable de la pression du sol et de l'eau, pression qui s'applique sur le tunnel depuis la partie de sol naturel qui se trouve à proximité du joint, et que l'eau ne puisse pas pénétrer dans le tunnel. Afin de satisfaire à ces exigences, l'installation de liaison ci-décrite comporte un anneau intrusif dans une excavatrice à bouclier, et une chambre, dans laquelle se loge ledit anneau, dans l'autre excavatrice. On place les deux excavatrices à bouclier l'une en face de l'autre en laissant un espace étroit entre elles, et on déplace ensuite en avant l'anneau intrusif et on l'introduit dans la chambre dans l'excavatrice à bouclier opposée. Les parties opposées des deux excavatrices se trouvent ainsi scellées par l'anneau intrusif. On démonte alors les excavatrices à bouclier et on applique un revêtement sur les surfaces des parois de joints, afin de compléter l'étape de liaison en sous-sol. Ce procédé utilisant un anneau intrusif permet d'isoler de manière fiable un joint d'un tunnel de la pression du sol et de l'eau dans la partie de sol naturel qui se trouve à proximité du joint, tout en empêchant l'eau de pénétrer dans le tunnel.
