Patent EP-0877931-B1 (EP)
Inventor: WARD W KENNETH
IPC: G01N27/327

Abstract: The invention provides an electrochemical sensor system for measuring analyte concentrations in a fluid sample. The invention is particularly useful for measuring analytes such as glucose in a patient. An implantable glucose sensor includes a disc-shaped sensor body containing multiple anodes on opposing sides of the sensor body. Electrodes including an anode and a cathode are connected to a transmitter which transmits radio signals to an external receiver and computer where data is processed to yield glucose concentration figures. An enzyme layer coating the anodes specifically reacts with glucose to increase signals generated by the anodes in response to the presence of glucose. In an alternate embodiment, some of the anodes are coated with the enzyme to generate a first signal, and other anodes that are not coated generate a second signal for comparison with the first signal to eliminate effects of interfering substances on the accuracy of the glucose measurement.

Abstract: During a vacuum evacuation of a chamber, the presence of water in the chamber can be detected by monitoring the pressure level in the chamber. In the absence of water, the pressure will decrease continuously and smoothly. If water is present, the pressure will rise slightly one or more times, especially as the pressure falls below 5 torr. This rise in pressure can be detected to signal the unwanted presence of water in the chamber. The method has particular application to ensuring the chamber is free of water during the evacuation of a chamber employed in vapor or vapor/plasma sterilization.

Abstract: The hygienic user protection A consists of a whole or partial, mono or multi-faceted cover and/or packing for all commercially-available ladies sanitary articles such as sanitary articles for use in the genital area, for medical use as well as for general daily and periodic use during menstruation as well as during other sicknesses or for prevention by protection from contamination of the body contact surface of the sanitary article. It is especially characterized in that it forms a suitable covering for the body contact surface of the sanitary article and wholly or partially covers, blanks off, envelops or possesses/presents other contamination-preventing properties for the sanitary article, a use where direct and indirect contact of the body contact surface of the sanitary article is avoided as far as possible and where contact during application or handling for application purposes is avoided in order to offer full protection. The hygienic user protection is only removed after application or fixing of the sanitary article, and thus personal and foreign contamination of the body contact surface is almost excluded with simplest possible handling, and protection is provided as packaging. The hygienic user protection B is similar to protection A in its overall design; however with one or more additional holding or application parts of various shapes and kinds to guarantee a contamination-free insertion in the body or for external application. It is characterized especially through another insertable part, which in execution and handling almost excludes contact contamination of the insertable sanitary article, such as "Tampons" or the externally-applied sanitary article, and consists of a sheath, a solid body or a case which offers equal or nearly equal protection and effectiveness and can provide protection as primary, secondary or multiple packing.

Abstract: A composite elastomeric spring having a predetermined final shape and including a first member of elastomeric material having a first durometer hardness and a second member of elastomeric material having a second durometer hardness is disclosed. The second member has a predetermined initial shape complimentary to an initial shape of the first member. The second member is positioned adjacent and in circumferential surrounding relation relative to the first member to define a preform composite spring member. After the second member is positioned about the first member, a force is applied to the preform composite spring member sufficient to simultaneously compress the first member and the second member thereby permanently changing the initial shapes of the first member and second member are permanently changed from their respective predetermined initial shape such that the first and second members are thereafter maintained in captured relationship relative to each other. The force is then removed from and thereby allowing the preform composite spring to transmute to the final shape of the composite elastomeric spring.

Abstract: A portable catalytically heatable appliance is provided. The appliance includes a catalyst support structure to flamelessly combust liquid or gaseous fuel and thereby provide a lower temperature heat source than a heat source that combusts fuel via flame. The fuel is ignited inside the catalytic support structure by a spark electrode. The ignition of the fuel inside the structure obviates the need for separate flame arresters. The ignition system includes a piezoelectric device that causes a voltage potential to form between the electrode and the catalytic support structure. A spark jumps from the electrode to an interior surface of the structure and ignites the fuel inside the structure, causing a flame to propagate. The flame heats the catalytic structure to an activation temperature, after which the fuel is combusted flamelessly on the surface of the catalytic structure.

Abstract: The system is comprised of three sub-systems. The first sub-system has an actuation lever (P) which can rotate about an axis (E1) to displace excentrically the Second Sub-system with respect to the Third by a predetermined angle circonferentially about a toothed wheel (R1), a toothed fluted wheel (R2) or fluted cross or cross with sliding torkes, and gear carrying shafts passing therethrough. The grooved wheel (R2) rotates in a fixed transmission relationship with respect to the rotation of the input shaft. The second sub-system transforms and divides the input power for the primary shaft into powers which are transmitted to various secondary shafts (E3, E4) characterized by oscillating angular speeds and torkes. The third sub-system composes the powers transmitted by the secondary shafts by means of a epicyclic train (T1) into an output power. The resulting output motion is proportional to the eccentricity angle of the first sub-system with respect to the third sub-system. Application to the automotion industry and to any other industry which requires a continuous regulation of the speed and of the torke provided by a power unit. <IMAGE>
