Inventor: KAUP OTMAR
IPC: F15B15/20
Filed: 1997-01-09
Abstract: The plunger piston (3) can be withdrawn from the passage bore (13) in the abutment and from the sealing ring (8), without dismantling the abutment. The abutment is formed as a sliding body, and forms a diametrical dove-tail connection with the end of the cylinder (1). When in inserted position, the abutment is locked by the piston relative to the cylinder. The dove-tail connection has two diametrically opposite slide rails, which are inserted into complementary cross grooves (9, 10) in the cylinder. The sliding body has a ring groove (16) with stripper ring.

Abstract: A motor vehicle power steering gear (10) has a proportional control
valve with a cylindrical valve member riding (49) rotatably on a spool shaft
(28) and
connected thereto through a torsion rod (34). Electromagnetic apparatus for
varying the magnitude of the effective restoring torque of the torsion rod (34)
comprises a stationary exciting coil (60), an extension (70) of the cylindrical valve
member (49) having a plurality of outwardly facing teeth (74) and an outer pole
member (80) fixed on the spool shaft (28) for rotation therewith and having an equal
plurality of opposing inwardly facing teeth (88), the teeth defining an air gap (92)
axially beside the coil (60). The cylindrical valve member (49) is formed with a pair of
sleeve surfaces (50A,51A) for riding on the spool shaft surface with a small controlled
clearance providing a hydraulic seal; and faces of the teeth of the cylindrical
valve member and outer pole member are both machined after formation of
the members for accurate control of the radial distance thereof from the spool
shaft surface and thus of the air gap. This permits air gap minimization for
increased torque output. The torque output is also increased by the use of a
2:1 ratio of the circumferential tooth spacing relative to tooth width.

Abstract: A separate window is provided for each of multiple OpenDoc Canvas
objects, thereby effecting a multiple Canvas-per-compound document
design. Possibility of one OpenDoc object drawing in another object's
screen area is eliminated by clipping imposed by the graphics engine on a
per-window basis. Multiple different rendering libraries may be employed
for screen imaging. The raw window may be used for direct platform-specific
drawing functions and other rendering toolkits. User interface
elements associated with alternative graphical user interfaces may be
used as the root of a window hierarchy. A PlatformCanvas represents a
handle to platform-dependent data types which are passed directly to
native drawing routines and which provides a generic entity for
specifically handling platform-specific architectures, providing a
generic representation of platform-specific structures.

Abstract: An optical device is provided having an input and an output terminal spaced equidistant
from an optical axis of a graded index lens. An at least partially reflective surface is
disposed spaced but adjacent from another end face of the graded index lens. The optical
path length from the input or output terminal to a first end face of the lens is equal to the
optical path length from the other end face of the lens to the at least partially reflective
surface. The graded index lens has a length that collimates light launched from the input
terminal to the at least partially reflective surface. Moving the input an output terminals
toward or away from one another changes the angle at which light exits the other end face
of the graded index lens, and thus changes the angle at which light is incident upon the at
least partially reflecting surface. Conveniently, if the at least partially reflecting surface is
a WDM interference filter, tunability of the filter is achieved
by moving the input an output terminals toward or away from one another.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for deploying one or more stents within a body lumen
comprises a catheter (14) (such as a dilatation catheter) having a removable proximal
portion (16). Detaching the removable proximal portion (16) from the catheter shaft (15)
allows a substantially tubular sheath (28) to be slidably received over the proximal end (19)
of the catheter shaft. The tubular sheath (28) has one or more substantially tubular stents
(12) positioned in a delivery configuration (60a) over a distal portion (34) of the sheath.
The sheath preferably has a proximal portion (36) that is resistant to compressive forces, so
that a user may advance the sheath along the catheter by pushing the sheath proximal end
(32), thereby positioning the stent or stents at a desired deployment location (74) within the
body lumen (72). With the stents in position, the catheter proximal end (19) can be
attached to the catheter shaft (15), and the stents (12) can be deployed at the desired
position (74). After the stents have been deployed, the removable proximal hub (16) can
be removed, the first sheath (28) slidably removed from the catheter shaft, a second sheath
(28b) (containing additional stents (12)) slidably introduced over the catheter shaft (15), the
removable proximal hub then can be reattached, and the additional stents can be deployed.
Thus, multiple stents can be deployed without necessitating removal of the catheter shaft
until the procedure is completed.
