Abstract: An incontinence electrode (14) for controlling urinary incontinence in women is made of alternating bands of conductive (22, 24, 26 and 28) and non-conductive (30, 32 and 34) polymers molded to form a tubular body (16). Electrical receptacles, 
formed in the molding process at the interior circumferential surface of the conductive polymer bands (22, 24, 26 and 28), accept metal contacts attached to electrical leads (36) to make a secure and durable, mechanical and electrical connection between the conductive polymer bands (22, 24, 26 and 28) and the leads (36). The leads (36) are coupled to a controller (40) and carry electrical current to and from the metal contacts which then distribute the current to the conductive polymer bands (22, 24, 26 and 28) to cause a contraction of the vaginal muscles responsible for controlling urinary incontinence in women.

Title: Powder inhaler.
Inventor: MCAUGHEY JOHN JACKSON FLEETWAY
IPC: A61M11/00
Filed: 1991-09-30
Abstract: A dry powder inhaler (10) consists of a chamber (12) into which powder is introduced from a metering system, and a mouthpiece (26) through which a patient inhales, connected by a duct (16), so that air flows through the chamber carrying the powder into the patient's lungs. Within the duct is an impactor (25) consisting of a plate (27) spaced in front of a similarly sized aperture, and between the chamber and the impactor plate is an orifice (18) narrower than the duct, so the air stream is diverted along S-shaped paths to avoid the plate. The presence of the impactor can improve the efficiency of delivery of a drug to the lungs, and decrease the unwanted dose to the mouth and throat, as the latter is principally due to agglomerates or larger particles which are intercepted or broken up by the impactor.

Abstract: Increased viscosities are particularly required in cosmetic surfactant formulations. The thickeners hitherto used have some considerable disadvantages concerning their ecological profile. For this reason, novel thickener systems based on alkyl polyglycosides, polymers and, where appropriate, foreign electrolytes, which do not have these disadvantages, are proposed. These thickener mixtures are mainly used in cosmetics with conventional basic surfactant formulations.

Abstract: A longitudinally watertight cable sleeve whose sleeve head consists of an outer body (2) whose internal cavity expands conically towards the side opposite the cable insertion side. An inner body (6) can be inserted into this cavity, the outer surface of which inner body 6 is matched to the conical inner surface of the outer body (2) in such a manner that a conical annular gap is formed between them in which the wires (7) of the cable (8), which are spread out like a basket, are taken up. This annular gap is filled with filling compound which is compressed into the outer body (2) by the insertion of the inner body (6). The volume which corresponds to the annular gap and is to be filled with filling material is extremely small so that the consumption of filling compound is very low. A ring (9) which is arranged on the inner body (6) and consists of sealing material seals the splicing space with respect to the annular gap and allows the wires (7) to be fixed.

Abstract: The invention relates to the formation of isoimides from amic acids, especially polyisoimides by a novel process in which polyimides are first converted to polyamic acids and then contacted with an isoimidizing agent. An acyl halide of a heterocyclic nitrogen compound or an acyl halide of a heterocyclic sulphur compound can be used as the isoimidizing agent. The isoimidization may also be carried out in the presence of a compound containing a heterocyclic nitrogen especially a solvent containing a heterocyclic nitrogen. 
     The invention is especially applicable to conducting nucleophilic addition reactions on the surface of polyimides where the surface has been converted to a polyamic acid or on the surface of polyamic acid materials followed by isoimidization and reaction of the isoimide with a nucleophile such as an amine or organic hydroxy compound. 
     Photosensitive metal compounds or electroless metal coating catalysts can be coordinated with the compositions obtained.

Abstract: A drum liner (1) locking and locating apparatus is provided for securing a drum liner to a drum (3). The drum liner apparatus primarily comprises a fitting (2), a liner (14), and a non-releasable securing means (20). The fitting (2) is passed through an opening (32) in the lid (30) of a drum (3) before the lid (30) is attached to the drum (3). The fitting (2) can only be passed through the opening (32) so that the liner (14) is in a position that the liner (14) can expand to the full size of the drum (3). After the fitting (2) is in place, the non-releasable securing means (20) fastens the fitting (2) to the drum (3) raising the drum liner to the top of the drum (3). Consequently, to remove the drum liner (14), the top of the drum (3) must be removed destroying the drum (3) and prohibiting reconditioning or reuse of the drum (3).

Abstract: An anode  (A)  closes one end of an evacuated envelope  (C)  and a cathode end plate  (22)  closes the other. A cathode assembly  (B)  is mounted on a bearing  (40)  in the evacuated envelope such that the envelope and cathode can undergo relative rotation. A motor  (38)  rotates the anode and envelope while a pair of magnets  (44, 46)  hold the cathode assembly stationary. Bearing  (40)  functions as a current path from a current source  (72)  to the primary windings of a transformer  (58) . Another bearing  (94)  provides a return current path from the transformer to the current source. The secondary windings of the transformer are connected with a cathode filament  (52) . The transformer enables a relatively low ampere current to pass through the bearings to limit cathodic damage to the bearings, yet provides sufficient amperage to the filament to cause thermionic emission. The bearings provide a direct transfer of current which does not degrade the vacuum in the envelope in such a manner that the current through the cathode filament can be measured directly from outside the envelope.

Abstract: The method and the device for preparing sheets (30) for packaging make it possible to cut out a packaging sheet from a strip (3) and to present it opposite the box (packet) (20) to be packaged. By carrying out, first of all, a precut (32), leaving a few points of attachment (32A) remaining between the end of the strip and the precut sheet (31), then by imparting a movement of accelerated displacement to the said sheet, it is entirely separated from the strip and a space is created between the end of the strip and the cut sheet. In this manner, the risk of jamming of the packaging machine is avoided, while simplifying the synchronisation of the various elements of the device which makes it possible to operate the packaging machine (1) at a high production rate. <IMAGE>
