Patent EP-0927548-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OSTIGUY PIERRE S JR
IPC: A61F2/34
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: An acetabular prosthesis has a shell component that is implantable within bone and a
liner component that is matable to the shell. The shell has a generally convex bone engaging
outer surface and a generally concave inner surface. A groove is formed in the inner surface of
the shell and extends about at least a portion of the inner circumference of the shell. The liner
has an inner concave surface and an outer, convex surface with a shape complementary to and
matable within the inner surface of the shell. One or more deformable positive surface features
is formed on the outer surface of the liner, adapted for selective mating with the slot of the
shell. The liner may be joined to the shell by press fitting the two components together such
that the positive surface features engage the groove.

Abstract: The present invention provides a card type
recording medium such as an IC card whereby the setting
and modifying work of an access authority can be
simplified and the management and operation of a
security system can be reliably performed. The card type
recording medium (1) contains storage units (2-1 to 2-n)
to store data and an access control unit (4) to control
an access to the data by an access subject. The access
control unit (4) is designed to include an access
subject identification information generating unit (5)
to generate an access subject identification information
for identifying the access subject, an access authority
information read-in unit (6) to read in access authority
information (3-1 to 3-n) set in correspondence with the
data that the access subject requests to access, and a
control unit (7) to obtain an access authority from the
access subject identification information and the access
authority information (3-1 to 3-n), and to control an
access to the data by the access subject on the basis of
the access authority obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method
and assembly for preventing sticking of
fine-graded, moist material such as clay or
sludge to screens, shovels and other units
of earth handling equipment. The handling
of moist and fine-graded materials is often
greatly hampered by sticking of such
materials to the handling equipment. Pure
clay in particular sticks extremely
tenaciously on all surfaces and, having a
soft and easily deformable consistency,
tends to adhere to a surface rather than
to allow itself to be detached from the
surface under an external force. This leads
to plugging of screening and blending
equipment and accumulation of clay on
shovels and other equipment used for
handling the clay. Most sludges also act in
a similar manner. The invention is based on
heating at least a portion of the equipment
elements to be in contact with the material
being treated to a temperature higher than
the boiling point of water.

Abstract: A carrier (100), for use in installing electronic devices (408), for example,
computer peripherals, into an enclosure (400), includes an actuator (104). In a specific
example embodiment, the actuator is a sliding cam plate. During insertion of the carrier
into the enclosure, the cam plate extends beyond a cosmetic bezel (502, 504) of the
electronic device. The carrier is inserted into an enclosure until the device bezel is flush
with the front of the enclosure. Then, pushing the cam plate inward causes compressible
pads (118) on the sides of the carrier to be pushed outward, clamping the carrier to the
sides (410, 412) of the enclosure. In addition, pushing the cam plate inward also causes
metal surfaces (302) to be pushed outward to contact the enclosure sidewalls for electrical
grounding. Electronic devices preferably include an adapter cable (506). Cables internal to
the enclosure (500) are connected to the adapter cable, the adapter cable is connected to the
electronic device, and an unconnected portion (510) of the adapter cable is then available
for installation of an additional electronic device.

Filed: 1999-10-27
Abstract: Exhaust gas catalyst aging monitoring, using a catalyst temperature sensor (3) and a downstream exhaust component sensor (7) to determine the catalyst activation time, is new. A process for monitoring of exhaust gas catalyst aging and for registration of the times of greatest internal combustion engine pollutant emission comprises: (a) using a temperature sensor (3), after starting the engine, to detect the catalyst activation temperature as that temperature at which an O2, CO2, H2O or combustible substance sensor (7), downstream of the catalyst (5), indicates activation by a signal change resulting from abrupt change of the concentration of the sensed substances; and (b) measuring the activation time from engine starting to sensor-indicated activation of the catalyst (5). An Independent claim is also included for equipment for carrying out the above process, comprising an external or on-board processing unit (8, 14) which is connected to the signal lines (9, 10) of a catalyst temperature sensor (3) and a downstream O2, CO2, H2O or combustible substance sensor (7) and to an electrical lead (11) transmitting an engine start signal, the processing unit information being read by an external monitoring unit and/or directly displayed by an on-board instrument. Preferred Features: The substance sensor (7) is an oxygen sensor with a measuring probe having a smaller catalytic activity than conventional lambda probes and having, at the operating temperature, a lower sensitivity for fuel gas than for oxygen. The sensor (7) also exhibits a time from engine starting and simultaneous sensor heating initiation to achievement of the operating temperature which is shorter than the catalyst activation time. The temperature sensor (3), the substance sensor (7) and the processing unit (8) may be individual parts for fitting into various vehicles or may comprise a fixed fitting in a vehicle.
