Abstract: A device for checking the fitting of a threaded cap onto a container is associated with automatic cap-fitting apparatus (1), particularly of the carousel type, which includes a rotatable platform (3a) which can move at least one container (5) about a principal axis (X) of the apparatus (1) and at least one screwing head (9) for screwing a cap (lla) onto a respective container (5) so as to close the container as a result of its movement about the principal axis (X). Each screwing head (9) is arranged to screw a cap (11a) onto a container (5) with a predetermined tightening torque. The device comprises a sensor unit (53, 55) for identifying a moment at which each screwing head (9) reaches the predetermined tightening torque, a sensor unit (51) for detecting the angular position of each screwing head (9) relative to the principal axis (X), at which the predetermined tightening torque is reached by the respective head (9), the two sensor units being connected to one another in order to provide an indication that the predetermined tightening torque has or has not been reached by a screwing head (9) within a predefined angular interval (C) of the movement of the screwing head (9) relative to the principal axis (X) of the apparatus (1). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for defibrillating an atrial region of a heart experiencing a supraventricular arrhythmia. The defibrillation system senses and analyzes both atrial and ventricular cardiac signals of the heart to determine if the heart is experiencing a supraventricular arrhythmia. Upon detecting a supraventricular arrhythmia, the defibrillation system begins delivering a train of atrial pacing pulses to the atria of the heart and a series of ventricular pacing pulses to the ventricles of the heart to synchronize the contractions of the heart with the pacing pulses. The defibrillation system then delivers a defibrillation electrical energy pulse across the atrial region at a predetermined coupling interval time after delivering a final atrial pacing pulse and a final ventricular pacing pulse so that the defibrillation pulse will fall outside the occurrence of a T-wave of the heart, thus reducing the likelihood of inducing ventricular fibrillation.

Abstract: Skin friction reduction on a surface moving relative to a fluid can be obtained by conditioning (i.e., unwinding, lengthening, or stretching) and ejecting a drag-reducing material, such as a polymer or other high molecular weight material, into the boundary layer. The efficacy of the ejected material is closely related to the hydration and shear stretching of the drag-reducing molecules immediately before ejection. The invention is a method and apparatus for creating a mixture/solution with optimal drag reduction characteristics. The device mixes a drag-reducing substance such as polymer powder, paste, solution or emulsion with a water flow, stretches the polymer molecules to improve hydration, and provides uniform vorticity to the mixture/solution before it is passed into an ejection system. By creating a mixture/solution with improved drag-reduction performance from any of several forms of drag-reducing material, the mixer can improve the performance and reduce the volume and storage requirements of a drag-reduction system.

Granted: 1997-01-24
Abstract: L'attrezzo è costituito da quattro elementi (smontabili) realizzati in acciaio che svolgono la funzione primaria di rastrellare prodotti agricoli od elementi lapidei sparsi sul suolo, il sollevamento e lo scarico dei prodotti raccolti.L'attrezzo viene agganciato e manovrato da trattrice agricola provvista di una via idraulica a doppio effetto. Con la benna radente il terreno e l'avanzamento della trattrice avviene la raccolta dei prodotti sparsi sul suolo poiché la benna, con il cestello in direzione della marcia del trattore, smuove gli elementi grossolani posti in superficie e li convoglia al suo interno.Il terreno che dovesse confluire nella benna, con le vibrazioni proprie dell'attrezzo durante l'operazione di rastrellamento, fuoriesce dalle fessure esistenti nella stessa benna; infatti la benna è costituita dall'assemblaggio di punte diverse di rastrello che formano un cestello di cernita con il conseguente rilascio sul terreno delle parti a pezzatura inferiore alle fessure del cestello.A benna piena la stessa viene fatta ruotare inclinandola verso l'alto; con l'alzare i bracci di sollevamento della trattrice la benna viene sollevata; con lo spostamento della trattrice, poi, si possono scaricare i materiali raccolti (anche in automezzi di trasporto) eseguendo la rotazione della benna verso il basso.La struttura portante della benna trova altri impieghi di sollevamento e quindi svolge molteplici funzioni reversibili che rendono l'attrezzo di grande utilità nelle operazioni agricole.

Granted: 1996-10-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a scissors lift which comprises at least one pair of rods which are hinged together in an intermediate zone about a major hinge axis that is essentially horizontal. Said rods are hinged, by their lengthwise ends situated on one side of an imaginary vertical plane passing through the major axis, respectively to a base element and to a lifting plate. The scissors lift has means of actuation which act on the rods to make them rotate about the major axis so as to make the lengthwise ends of the rods situated on the base element come together, resulting in lifting of the lifting plate. The ends of the rods situated on the other side of the imaginary plane are associated in a movable fashion with respect to the base element and to the lifting plate and the means of actuation comprise a pushing element of variable useful length which is connected by one end to the base element, at the part opposite the zone of hinging of one of the rods to the base element relative to the imaginary plane, and there is a pressing element which acts on the sides of the rods which are liable to pull apart when the ends of the rods associated with the base element move closer together. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for treating dysfunctional organic cells, uses electromagnetically-based radiation to generate complex AC-DC field for interacting with cell resonance to cause destruction from ionic collisions
Inventor: DAVIDSON JAMES G
IPC: A61N/
Filed: 1999-11-08
Granted: 2003-02-03
Abstract: The inventive device comprises plural permanent magnets arranged side-by-side in an elliptically-shaped ring structure, with adjacent poles being of the same polarity. An electrically conductive wire is wound around the ring of magnets, also hollow tubing interspersing the windings. Coolant is pumped around the tubing so as to cool the overall device. A control circuit is connected to the wire windings for selectively generating current to circulate through the windings. The current includes both AC and DC components. The AC component is programmable to match a resonant frequency of the dysfunctional cells to be treated. The circulating current creates an electromagnetic field which interacts with the field from the permanent magnets. A complex field pattern is thus generated causing positively-charged ions within the dysfunctional cells to collide with other ions, resulting in cell destruction by implosion.
