Patent EP-0625085-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CROCKARD ALAN
IPC: A61B17/88
Filed: 1993-02-08
Abstract: Un outil de sertissage, servant à déformer un tube de sertissage (10) autour de fils métalliques utilisés au cours d'interventions chirurgicales, comprend une paire de poignées relativement longues (107, 108) pivotant autour d'un axe de pivotement postérieur (106). Chaque poignée s'étend vers l'avant d'un axe de pivotement postérieur (106) pour former une partie de mâchoire postérieure (101a, 101b). Les poignées comprennent des surfaces de came coopérantes qui y sont ménagées de manière que, lorsque les poignées sont pivotées l'une vers l'autre, les extrémités libres des parties de mâchoires arrière s'écartent. Ces extrémités libres (101a, 101b) portent chacune un pivot intermédiaire (103, 104). Des parties de mâchoires antérieures (111, 112) peuvent pivoter autour du pivot intermédiaire (103, 104), autour d'un axe de pivotement avant commun (110). Les parties de mâchoires antérieures (11, 112) s'étendent vers l'avant par rapport à l'axe de pivotement avant (110) de façon que leurs extrémités avant puissent entrer en contact avec le tube de sertissage pour le déformer. La longueur des poignées (107, 108) est sensiblement supérieure à celle des parties de mâchoires postérieures (101a, 101b) et la longueur des parties de mâchoires antérieures (111, 112) est sensiblement supérieure à celle de leurs extrémités avant. En conséquence, la force de compression appliquée par les extrémités avant des parties de mâchoires antérieures est sensiblement supérieure à la force de compression appliquée par un utilisateur sur les poignées (107, 108).

IPC: H01S5/32
Filed: 1994-06-22
Abstract: Radiation-emitting semiconductor diodes are used as laser diodes or LEDs  inter alia  in optical disc systems, laser printers and bar code readers. The emission wavelength in these cases lies preferably in the visible range of the spectrum. Known diodes have an active layer (3A) and cladding layers (2,4) which comprise either AlGaAs or InAlGaP. These known diodes have the disadvantage that they do not cover a portion of the visible spectrum between 880 and 600 nm. 
     A diode according to the invention is characterized in that the active layer (3A) comprises Al x Ga 1-x As and the cladding layers (2,4) comprise Al y Ga w In 1-y-w P, while the active layer (3A) has such an aluminium content (x) and such a thickness (d) that the wavelength of the photoluminescence emission lies between approximately 770 and 690 nm. This results in the availability of (laser) diodes covering the entire spectrum from approximately 880 nm to 600 nm which operate satisfactorily, supply a high power, and are easy to manufacture. Preferably, the active layer comprises a (multiple) quantum well structure of alternating quantum well layers and barrier layers, both comprising AlGaAs, but with different aluminium contents. The active layer can also comprise AlGaAsP.

Abstract: In a banana ripening room 10, pallets 19 of boxes of fruit are stacked in individual locations 23 defined by a support structure, in two spaced apart rows separated by an aisle 22, and in two superimposed tiers. The aisle defines a volume 25 into which air is introduced under pressure by fans 32 in an overhead space separated from the room by a false ceiling 15. All the gaps between adjacent pallets 19 and structural members 17, 18 are sealed by rubber flaps 50, an efficient seal being obtained when boxes are used which are designed for use in pressurised ripening systems. The flaps 50 are attached along one edge to structural members and free at their other edges to conform to the contours of the pallet loads, thereby ensuring that air can be cycled only through the pallet loads to lower pressure zones beyond the rows of pallets.

Abstract: An improved fold and wrap package providing containment of a catamenial pad prior to its use and for conveniently disposing of a soiled catamenial pad. The fold and wrap package comprises a wrapper comprising a single strip of material having a flap panel, a central panel, and an end panel; and preferably a tape tab for securing the wrapper in a disposal configuration to provide convenient disposal of a soiled catamenial pad wrapped in the wrapper. The fold and wrap package is initially configured to have a pouch and a flap. The pouch is formed by folding the end panel back upon the central panel and frangibly bonding the end panel to the central panel at the longitudinal edges so that the end panel may be easily peeled away from the central panel to provide convenient disposal of a soiled catamenial pad. The pouch is designed so that an unused catamenial pad may be disposed within the pouch with the flap being positioned over the mouth of the pouch and frangibly bonded to the pouch to securely close the pouch prior to use. The fold and wrap package is used by peeling the tape tab from the pouch, peeling the flap away from the pouch by breaking the frangible bonds between the flap and the pouch, removing the unused catamenial pad from the pouch, peeling the end panel from the central panel to open the pouch such that the fold and wrap package is a flat wrapper (these previous two steps may also be done in reverse order), securing a soiled catamenial pad to the wrapper, disposing the wrapper and the soiled catamenial pad into a disposal configuration, and securing the wrapper and the soiled catamenial pad in its disposal configuration by securing the tape tab to another portion of the wrapper.

Date Dec. 8, 1994The present invention relates to eutectic alloy systems, such as white irons, in which a primary phase grows out of the melt when the melt is cooled below the liquidus temperature and comprises pouring the molten metal alloy at a temperature at or above the liquidus in a stream into a casting mould to form a casting and introducing a particulate material into the stream of molten metal to extract heat from the molten metal alloy to undercool the molten metal alloy from the pour temperature into the primary phase solidification range between the liquidus and the solidus temperatures of the alloy and thereby initiate primary phase nucleation and restrict primary phase growth. The primary function of the particulate material is to act as a heat sink but the particulate material may at least partially dissolve in the melt and may act as a seeding agent for the primary phase. The invention is described with particular reference to high chromium hypereutectic white irons.
