Patent EP-0909237-B1 (EP)
Inventor: JONAS GERD
IPC: B32B23/00

Abstract: The invention relates to an absorbent insert for foodstuff packagings, the liquid-absorbing component of which is a superabsorbent polymer which, in a hitherto unrivaled fashion, persistently absorbs and retains large quantities of liquid even under high pressure load, protects the foodstuffs from bacterial decay, and prevents contamination of the packagingd goods by migrating soluble constituents of the polymer. This combination of properties of the superabsorbers used is expressed by the QSAP 0.3 quotient of retention according to the tea bag test+absorption against pressure (AAP) 0.3, divided by the amount of solubles (LA), which quotient is at least 20. Superabsorbers having such properties are obtained by using special combinations of crosslinkers. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for producing said absorbent inserts and their use in foodstuff packagings, as ice substitute, and as leak-proofing means in transport packagings.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of supporting the body of a patient, the method consisting in providing at least one support element, such as a mattress, subdivided into at least two closed, flexible, controlled-release regions that are inflatable with fluid under a pressure that is a function of the set penetration distance to which the body of the patient penetrates into the support element, namely at least one first support region for supporting the body of the patient other than in its heel region, and a second support region specifically for supporting the heel region. According to the invention, the second support region is inflated by tapping fluid from the first support region. This method makes it easy, in particular, to adjust the pressure as a function of the relative position of the patient on the support, of the patient's weight, of the patient's morphology, or else as a function of the particular needs of the treatment.

Abstract: A self-powered centrifugal separator for removing particulate contaminants from engine lubricant includes a rotor canister which is spun at high speed about a vertical axle by ejection of the lubricant supplied to the canister at elevated pressure by way of apertures in a bearing tube near the upper end of the canister. The canister is separated into upper separation chamber and lower outflow chamber by an annular partition wall which defines a transfer aperture between the chambers by its radially inner edge. The edge of the partition wall also supports concentrically within the separation chamber a separation funnel arrangement having an inclined surface supporting alternate separation ribs and scavenging apertures. Liquid entering the separation chamber is directed radially outwardly and under pressure gradient moves inwardly along the inclined surface. The ribs stand up sharply and create eddies which effect separation of particulate contaminants and their deposition at the surface. Centrifugal forces carry such deposited materials through the scavenging apertures to deposit on the peripheral wall of the canister.

Abstract: A direction-dependent driving coupling between the rotor of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor and a working part. The coupling comprises at least one first eccentric driving tooth and at least one cantilevered elastomeric element which are rigidly coupled to a first one of the two components between which motion is to be transmitted; the cantilevered element is arranged peripherally close to a cylindrical wall, of which it partially follows the shape, and the wall is formed by a housing, in which the rotor is arranged, and is motionless, at start-up, with respect to the motorized component. At least one second eccentric tooth is rigidly coupled to a second one of the two components between which motion is to be transmitted in such a position that the path between the parts causes it to interact with the first tooth in one direction and to interact with the cantilevered element in the opposite direction, producing a radial outward thrust which flexes the cantilevered element against the cylindrical wall, blocking it.
