Abstract: A deflectable catheter comprises a catheter body, a tip section, and a control handle for affecting deflection of the tip section. The tip section comprises a flexible tubing having proximal and distal ends and at least two lumens extending therethrough. The proximal end of the tip section is fixedly attached to the distal end of the catheter body. The flexible tubing comprises a plastic core, a metal braid over the core, a plastic skin over the braid, and at least two pieces of plastic tubing in longitudinal arrangement extruded over the plastic skin, wherein the at least two pieces of plastic tubing have different stiffnesses and are arranged with the stiffer plastic being proximal the less stiff plastic. The tip section is made by extruding a plastic core over at least one mandrel and braiding a metal over the plastic core. Thereafter, at least two pieces of plastic tubing having different degrees of stiffness are assembled along the length of the plastic core so that the piece of plastic tubing having the greatest stiffness is at the proximal end of the tip section and the piece of plastic having the lowest stiffness is near the distal end of the tip section. The pieces of plastic tubing are then melted to the plastic core. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An actuation device employing square-loop latchable magnetic material having a magnetization direction (polarization) capable of being changed in response to exposure to an external magnetic field is disclosed. The magnetic field is created by a conductor assembly with non-solenoid configuration. Once the magnetization direction of the material is so changed, the external magnetic field is no longer required to maintain the new magnetization direction. The latchable magnetic material is disposed on the mobile electrode of a switching device, and another magnetic material is disposed in spaced relation to the latchable magnetic material on a stationary electrode or surface. By applying an electrical current to a conductor assembly arranged proximate the latchable material, a magnetic field is created about the latchable magnetic material, to change the magnetization direction and thereby enable the attraction or repulsion of another magnetic material located on the stationary electrode. The resulting relative displacement of the mobile and stationary electrodes effects the selective connection or disconnection of electrical contacts carried on or associated with the respective electrodes of the actuation device without requiring additional power in order to maintain the switched state of the electrodes.

Abstract: A process and a device are for the methanol synthesis from hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide under pressure, in particular for increasing the yield of processes already in use. Desulphurized natural gas is charged in a reformer and the synthesis gas is subsequently admitted to a methanol synthesis. There are the advantages that a favorable possibility for refitting existing plants is provided, and synthesis gas from external sources can be used. This is accomplished in the process in that after passing through the reformer, a side stream from the synthesis gas stream is supplied to a methanol pre-reactor. The methanol produced in the pre-reactor is supplied to the methanol stream exiting from the methanol synthesis of the main stream. A stream of synthesis gas non-reacted in the methanol pre-reactor is recycled into the main stream upstream of the methanol synthesis. An additional synthesis gas compensating the incurred loss is simultaneously charged within the zone of said feed into the main stream.
