Date Feb. 20, 1997A container for enclosing a sterile medical solution and method for mixing the same, such as a peritoneal dialysis solution. The container comprises a first compartment comprising the major part of the solution, such as an electrolyte solution comprising NaCl, CaCl2, etc., and two separate compartments, each comprising glucose in a high concentration. The entire container is autoclaved including the solutions as separated, thereby minimizing the formation of toxic products. During preparation for use, the second compartment or the third compartment, or both, are connected to the first compartment by breaking pins in a connection tube for each compartment. Depending upon the compartments connected to the first compartment, a different concentration of glucose results. Thus, all three of the usually employed glucose concentrations may be provided in a single container.

Abstract: A power management system automatically manages the power to operate a biomedical device, such as an infusion pump containing an internal battery. When external power is available, the management system operates the biomedical device from the external power and controls a recharger to maintain the battery at full charge. The power management system automatically calculates battery charge status and use and provides a run time display of the calculated amount of time that the battery can operate the biomedical device under current power requirements of the biomedical device. The power management system automatically updates the calculated charge status of the battery as well as the calculated capacity of the battery based on environmental factors and battery characteristics. The power management system automatically and periodically performs a deep discharge/recharge cycle to refresh the battery. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treatment of waste products that contain organic materials, such as plastic and like organic materials, and frequently also containing metal values, including precious metals, by thermal processing, without risk of generating dioxins or similar toxic compounds and in a manner which also enables any metal values to be recovered. The method is characterized by charging the waste products to an agitated smelt in a manner which will prevent the products being heated to any significant degree prior to being surrounded by the agitated smelt. The waste products are mixed vigorously in the smelt in the presence of reducible constituents or components at a temperature of at least about 1250  DEG C, wherein plastic and other organic material is decomposed thermally to reduction agents for the reduction of said reducible constituents or components, and therewith converted essentially fully to complete combustion products, such as CO2 and H2. Any metal values present are taken out as metal-rich dustand/or metal-rich molten phase, and the metal values can be recovered from the metal-rich products in a suitable known manner. The invention also relates to a method of destroying, or rendering harmless, waste products that contain organic substances, such as plastic or like organic compounds, without the risk of forming dioxins or like toxic compounds.

Abstract: An electrosurgical probe (10) comprises a shaft (13) having an electrode array (58) at its distal end and a connector (19) at its proximal end for coupling the electrode array to a high frequency power supply (28). The shaft includes a return electrode (56) recessed from its distal end and enclosed within an insulating jacket (18). The return electrode defines an inner passage (83) electrically connected to both the return electrode and the electrode array for passage of an electrically conducting liquid (50). By applying high frequency voltage to the electrode array and the return electrode, the electrically conducting liquid generates a current flow path between the return electrode and the electrode array so that target tissue may be cut or ablated. The probe is particularly useful in dry environments, such as the mouth or abdominal cavity, because the electrically conducting liquid provides the necessary return current path between the active and return electrodes.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: Local technology modules automatically execute given functions as part of process automation. Each technology module has a memory storing module-specific information about the respective function of the technology module and its tie-in to a measuring point, open- and closed-loop control system. During an initialization phase, this information is transmitted to a central communication device, where it is stored for access by an operator communication and monitoring device. It can thus automatically add the information to its operator communication and monitoring interface.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la transmission par radiobalises entre une station de base de communication radio privée et un terminal mobile, dans la plage de transmission de la station de base de communication radio privée. Cette transmission, conçue pour éviter toute interférence avec les réseaux de communication radio privés non coordonnés se chevauchant, est assurée par la transmission de signaux de balises instables. La station de base privée transmet des rafales de radiobalises à des intervalles de temps instables, qui varient, de manière pseudo-aléatoire, pour éviter les collisions répétées de radiobalises entre les réseaux de communication radio privés non coordonnés dont les plages de transmission se chevauchent. L'instabilité du temps de la balise est assurée de manière pseudo-aléatoire selon un schéma qui est associé à une valeur d'identification de la station de base. Le terminal mobile dérive les informations relatives à la valeur d'identification associée de la station de base et à son état à partir d'un signal de radiobalise reçu et détermine si la station de base est disponible pour des communications avec le terminal mobile. Ce dernier est synchronisé, en outre, sur les transmission de la balise de la station de base instable en fonction de la génération d'instabilité prédéterminée associée à la valeur d'identification de la station de base dérivée à partir du signal de radiobalise reçu. Le terminal mobile peut ensuite maintenir rapidement la synchronisation avec une ou plusieurs stations de base de réseau de communication radio privé sans perdre la synchronisation en raison de collisions de rafales de radiobalises répétées entre les stations de base.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for treating both the early and late phases of allergic asthma by introducing naked polynucleotides which operatively encode for the asthma-initiating antigen into the host. The antigen-encoding polynucleotides are administered to host tissues which contain a high concentration of antigen presenting cells (e.g., skin and mucosa) relative to other host tissues. Expression of the asthma-initiating antigen encoding polynucleotides of the invention inside of antigen presenting cells (without substantial secretion therefrom) induces antigen tolerance while suppressing IgE antibody formation in the early phase of the disease, and also suppresses cytokine-mediated eosinophil accumulation in the late phase of the disease. Devices and compositions for use in the methods of the invention are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to distributing valve for load-independent control of a hydraulic consumer with regard to direction and speed. Similar distributing valves known per se have a control valve (30) which can be axially displaced in a slide bore hole (11) of a valve housing (10). In a neutral position, said control valve (30) blocks off two consumer chambers (13, 15) from a feed chamber (14) and selectably connects one of the two consumer chambers (13, 15) to a feed chamber (14) and the other consumer chamber (15, 13) to a return chamber in two operating positions. In addition, two brake pistons (51, 52) are arranged in two opposite lying receiving areas (33, 34) of the control valve (30). Both pistons can be pressurized in the direction of an enlargement of the opening section of a flow path leading from one consumer chamber (13, 15) to a return chamber (12, 16) via the respective receiving area, said pistons being pressurized in the other consumer chamber (15, 13) in a direction opposite to that of a spring (53) placed in a spring chamber (12). According to the invention, a slide longitudinal bore hole (36) which can be connected to a load indicator channel (22) extends from one pressure chamber (58) on one brake piston (51, 52) to the other pressure chamber (58) on the other brake piston (51, 52), and can be connected, upon displacement of the control valve (30) from the neutral position, to one consumer chamber (13) or another consumer chamber (15) depending on the direction of displacement.
