Abstract: Passive elastic and resistance values for a particular patient are estimated during proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and other forms of assisted ventilation to permit reliable adjustment for volume-related and flow-related assist gains to meet continuously varying patient muscle pressure (Pmus). Independent but simultaneous procedures are effected to determine the respective values. The pressure-volume relationship is determined by a modification of the inspiratory hold technique while the pressure-flow relationship is determined by deliberately introducing brief perturbations in pressure (Paw), flow and volume (V) and observing the effects obtained.

Abstract: A wire brush for surface preparation e.g. for deburring machined surfaces, has bundles of parallel wire bristles secured to the brush head with resin. The bristles are set at 25 to 35 degrees to the rotating axis (3) of the brush, to work the edges of the surface profiles. The bristles (4) can be straight wires or wavy type of wires, which provide a sprung effect. Bundles of bristles are held in the resin and after setting of same the ends of the bundles are cut to form a flat surface.

Abstract: Les peroxydicarbonates de dialkyle à courtes chaînes alkyles, de préférence de diéthyle et de diisopropyle, sont mis en oeuvre à la polymérisation en suspension aqueuse du chlorure de vinyle sous la forme d'une solution dans un alkanedicarboxylate de dialkyle liquide et insoluble dans l'eau. Les solvants préférés sont les hexanedicarboxylates (adipates) dérivés d'acide adipique et d'alcanols en C6 à C10. La concentration en peroxydicarbonate desdites solutions s'élève généralement à 15-40 % en poids. Le procédé selon l'invention produit des polymères du chlorure de vinyle de qualité améliorée conduisant à des articles façonnés présentant nettement moins d'oeils-de-poisson. L'invention concerne également un procédé pour la fabrication en deux étapes d'une solution de peroxydicarbonates de dialkyle à courtes chaînes alkyles particulièrement adaptée à la polymérisation en suspension aqueuse du chlorure de vinyle. Selon ce procédé, on met en oeuvre un sel inorganique à l'étape de fabrication du peroxydicarbonate (première étape) et on sépare celui-ci ensuite par extraction au moyen d'un solvant insoluble dans l'eau (deuxième étape).

Abstract: The invention relates to a spark wheel type gas lighter comprising a lighter body, a reservoir, a valve permitting gas to leave the reservoir, an ignition system comprising a pyrophoric flint co-operating with a spark wheel and a spring maintaining the flint against the spark wheel, a lever pivotally mounted on an axis essentially parallel to the axis of rotation of the spark wheel and co-operating with the valve and the axis of the lever is mounted movably with respect to the body of the lighter between an active position permitting the operation of the valve mounted on the reservoir and a rest position in which action on the lever does not permit operation of the valve, the spark wheel can be displaced with respect to the body of the lighter, and operate the lever in its movement, and elastic means act on the lever and/or on the spark wheel to return them to a position of rest in which the lever does not act on the valve. The body of the lighter may comprise two oblong openings, each receiving a spindle of the pivoting lever which are 'V' shaped, the point of the 'V' being located next to the spark wheel and in that the spindles of the pivoting lever are located at the level of the point of the 'V' in the rest position of the lever, and at the level of the end of the branch of the 'V' located next to the valve in the active position of the lever. The pivoting lever comprises an abutting face which acts against a counter-abutting face integral with the body of the lighter when the lever is in its rest position, thus preventing pivoting of the lever, and does not abut in the active position of the lever, thus permitting pivoting of the lever and operation of the valve.

Abstract: The invention provides a natural draft, gravity feed pellet stove (10). The body of the stove is formed by a vertical section of large diameter pipe (12), with an air intake pipe (42) extending from the back of the stove to below a combustion grate (62). Pellet fuel (114) is discharged onto the grate through a slot (64) at the bottom of a hopper (66), and the grate is sloped so that the pellets roll away from the slot and over the grate as they are combusted. The combustion gasses flow into two exhaust pipes (28a, 28b) each having a diameter similar to that of the intake pipe so as to establish a 2:1 exhaust/intake flow ratio. Cross-drilled reburner tubes (72) are installed across the intake ends of the exhaust pipes to provide additional air for complete combustion. The bottom plates (88, 90a, 90b, 92) of the storage hopper are free from attachment along their lower edges, so that these expand and contract on a continuous basis with changes in the temperature of the stove; this causes cyclical distortion of the plates which shifts the fuel downwardly towards the discharge opening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A video signal is modified so that a television receiver will provide a normal color picture but a video tape recorder will detect the modification and prohibit the video signal from being recorded. The color burst phase of the video signal is modified so as to make inferior quality pictures in the event that the resulting modified video signal is recorded. A disabling circuit (22) associated with the recorder (20) detects the presence of the modified video signal. This detection is done by determining the presence of modified color burst phase signals in even a single television line of the video signal. A control signal (26) is produced when the modified color burst phase signal is detected, which disables the recorder (20). If no modified color burst phase signal is detected, the recorder (20) is enabled to allow an acceptable recording of the video signal.
