Abstract: The invention provides a contact photocopying apparatus 10 which includes a supporting frame 12 and a cover 14 adapted to be raised and lowered with respect to the supporting frame 12. A flexible sealing sheet 30 is bonded at its edges to the supporting frame 12. A cushion 34 is secured beneath the sealing sheet 30. The cushion 34 is formed from elastic material and has a smoothly contoured semi-cylindrical top surface. A firm backing plate 40 is connected to the lower surface of the cushion 34. The flexible sealing sheet 30 has a free edge portion 52 which extends beyond the edges of the cushion sheet 34. A flexible reinforcing strip or band 50 is provided which has one portion connected to the free edge 52 of the sealing sheet 30 and another portion connected to the edge of the cushion 34 to permit flexing of the free edge portion 52 of the sealing sheet 30 with respect to the cushion 34. The flexible sealing sheet 30 extends across an opening 40a in the backing plate 40 to define a flexible diaphragm 30a. A vacuum line 56 is connected to the center of the diaphragm 30a and is suppored by it for limited movement. A stop member 58 is operatively associated between the vacuum line 56 and the backing plate 40 to limit the motion of the vacuum line 56 toward the cover 14 when a vacuum is created in the chamber 24. A sealing strip 60 is provided around the edge of the supporting frame 12 having at least one inclined cantilevered sealing flange 62 which slopes outwardly and is adapted during operation to flex outwardly and downwardly when engaged by the cover 14 to seal the edge of the vacuum chamber 24.

Abstract: Athérotome à cathéter (10) et procédé d'utilisation de celui-ci en vue d'effectuer une athérectomie partielle dans une artère et élargir ainsi le passage disponible pour l'écoulement du sang au travers de l'artère. Plusieurs lames (34) sont montées à une extrémité distale d'un cathéter (30), suivant une configuration de panier hélicoïdal et sont espacées angulairement entre elles autour des extrémités associées de deux gaines concentriques (12, 14) de manière que le mouvement relatif longitudinal et rotatif des gaines courbe sélectivement les lames vers l'extérieur en les amenant dans une position de coupe, ou étire les lames qui deviennent plates et prennent une position de coupe, ou étire les lames qui deviennent plates et s'alignent avec les gaines. Les lames (34) présentent des bords tranchants (44) s'étendant hélicoïdalement vers l'extrémité proximale du cathéter lorsque les lames sont courbées. L'élimination partielle de l'athérome est effectuée en tirant annuellement le couteau en forme de panier par devant un athérome, les lames (34) se trouvant dans leurs positions de coupe courbées vers l'extérieur, et la vitesse, la force et le degré d'expansion des lames étant déterminés par l'opérateur.

IPC: H02P6/08

Abstract: Lorsque le courant d'alimentation d'une bobine d'excitation est coupé à la fin d'un signal de détection de position, des diodes de blocage inverses (43a, 43b) empêchent l'énergie magnétique forte emmagasinée dans ladite bobine de retourner vers le côté de la source d'énergie. Par conséquence, ladite énergie est entraînée de force à s'écouler dans une bobine d'excitation à laquelle l'énergie sera ensuite envoyée. Le moment d'extinction de l'énergie magnétique dans la bobine d'excitation de l'étape précédente est ainsi diminué, ce qui permet l'accélération de l'énergie magnétique dans la bobine d'excitation de l'étape suivante. On peut donc obtenir une vitesse de rotation élevée (jusqu'à environ 100 000 rpm) tout en gardant la caractéristique de force de torsion. La disposition d'une pluralité de dents utilisées normalement pour les pôles magnétiques, permet de multiplier la force de tension de sortie à une vitesse de rotation habituelle. Puisqu'un circuit hacheur fonctionne lorsque l'on change le mode opératoire en mode de rotation inverse à partir de la révolution en avant, la tension appliquée à la bobine d'excitation devient la somme de la tension de l'alimentation d'énergie C.C. et la réaction électromotrice. La montée du courant d'excitation devient alors plus nette. On coupe l'alimentation en énergie, lorsque le courant d'excitation arrive à un courant d'une valeur fixe, et la réduction de l'énergie magnétique emmagasinée dans la bobine d'excitation ralentit. Lors de cette période, l'énergie est amenée dans la source d'énergie par des transistors connectés en parallèle aux diodes de blocage inverses (43a, 43b) respectivement de manière à régénérer de l'énergie, ce qui permet un freinage régénérateur.
