Patent FI-954366-A (FI)
Inventor: HUGHES STEPHEN E
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1995-09-15
Abstract: A method of transplanting a graft in the subretinal area of a host eye comprises preparing the graft by harvesting from the donor tissue a population of cells in a manner that maintains the population of cells in the same organization and cellular polarity as is present in normal tissue of that type. The population of cells are of a sheet-like form and are assembled with a relatively thin flexible pliable carrier composed of a non-toxic flexible composition which substantially dissolves at body temperature to form a graft. The graft is sufficiently flexible and pliable to be coiled to form a volute (76) without disturbing the organization and polarity of the cells. The method further comprises coiling the graft to form a volute (76) with the convolutions of the volute (76) free of one another for subsequent uncoiling of the graft substantially to its original sheet-like form. An incision is made in the host eye for insertion of the volute (76). The incision in the eye is smaller than the incision that would be required for insertion of the graft in its uncoiled sheet-like form. The volute is inserted one end first into the host eye through the incision and transported to a position between the retina and the underlying tissue. The volute (76) uncoils after its insertion to lie in sheet-like form between the retina and the underlying tissue of the host eye. The incision is then closed.

Abstract: Wet strength resins for paper are prepared by a process comprising the following steps in sequence: (1) reacting a polyamidoamine with an epihalohydrin until the amount of unreacted epihalohydrin present is less than about 10% by weight of the amount of epihalohydrin charged, (2) adding a water-soluble, nonpolymeric amine in an amount of about 0.1 to about 50 mole %, based on the amine in the polyamidoamine, and (3) heating to effect crosslinking. An optional amine additive reaction step can be included after step (2). A nonhalogen acid such as sulfuric acid can be added toward the end of the crosslinking step to decrease the total organic halogen content and increase the wet strengthening effectiveness.

Abstract: 1,119,144. Gramophone pick-ups. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. 11 Jan., 1966 [22 Jan., 1965], No. 1310/66. Heading H4J. The stylus arm of a gramophone pick-up of the turnover type has two styli at one end, and the other end is received in a resilient block mounted in a channel, the opening of which faces vertically when either stylus is in operative position on a horizontal record. The opening faces towards the record surface when a coarse groove stylus for lateral type records is used and the pick-up then has a low vertical response characteristic. When the other stylus, for fine groove records is used, good lateral and vertical response is obtained. The pick-up (Fig. 2) has a stylus arm 42 engaging an elastomeric coupler 20 having apertured legs in which are received piezoelectric elements 14, 16. The major surfaces of elements 14, 16 are at right angles. Stylus 44 is for fine groove monaural and stereophonic records and stylus 46 is for coarse groove lateral type records. The stylus arm 42 is mounted in a rubber damping block 48 of generally rectangular cross-section with tapered side portions (50, 52), Fig. 4 (not shown). The rear of the block 48 is secured in a holder 36 by a bridge 56 and/or adhesive. As shown in Fig. 2, the coarse groove stylus 46 is in operative position and the opening in the channel faces a record being played. Lateral vibrations are transmitted to the coupler 20, but vertical vibrations are reduced in transmission by vertical movement of the block 48 towards the channel opening. When the fine groove stylus is in operative position the block 48 is restrained against vertical and lateral movement by the walls of the channel and vertical and lateral components are transmitted to the coupler 20. The holder 36 is held by a leaf spring 66 and change-over is effected by an arm 58. The holder has cylindrical bearing surfaces 65 and (64), Fig. 4 (not shown). Electrical connections are taken through openings 26, 28, 30.

Filed: 1916-02-02
Abstract: 101,436. Seabury, H. Feb. 2. 1916. Variable-speed and reversing gearing for motorvehicles comprises friction gearing conveying motion from a power shaft 5, the reverse being obtained by moving the driving, driven, and transmission shafts 8, 20, 27 bodily in a lateral direction by means of rods 47. This movement disengages a friction wheel 9 from the inner surface of a drum 6 on the power shaft 5, and brings a friction wheel 32 on the shaft 27 into contact with the outer surface of the drum. The driving-shaft 8 is moved endways by a fork 11 to operate one of two clutches 15, 16. The clutch 16 connects the driving and driven shafts 8, 20 and produces a direct through-drive. The clutch 15 connects the shaft 8 to chain gearing 19, 33 driving the shaft 27, from which two speeds for either direct or reverse driving are transmitted to the shaft 20 by chain gearing 23, 24 operated alternatively by a double clutch member 35 movable endways on the shaft. The frames 46 carrying the laterally movable shafts are mounted on pivoted standards, and the distance between the shafts is varied by means of links 48 to adjust the pressure of the friction gearing.
