IPC: A61M60/851
Filed: 1996-02-05
Abstract: A device for the pulsed pumping of liquids, particularly blood, has a body in which are formed a pumping chamber in which a pulsed flow is imparted to the liquid, an inlet duct upstream of the pumping chamber and communicating therewith, and a delivery duct downstream of the pumping chamber and communicating therewith. The shape of the pumping chamber is annular. Two valve members constituted by lip valves are provided for regulating the one-way flow of fluid in the body from the inlet duct to the pumping chamber and from the latter to the delivery duct. A diaphragm disposed within the pumping chamber is movable between a first position and a second position in a reciprocating manner such that pulsed flow is imparted to the liquid. The diaphragm has an annular configuration and a substantially "C" shaped cross section. The pumping device may be incorporated into a cardiopulmonary bypass device which includes a venous reservoir, a heat exchanger and an oxygenator.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is the description of a method for accounting by units of time for the use of broadcast services on a decoder in a system using a content encrypted by control words, the latter modified in a period called a crypto-period. The method comprises verifying whether the current time (TC) is included within a time variable (Rdate) which represents the duration of authorisation to use said service and, where this is the case, to decrypt and return the control words to the controller. Where the above is not the case the method comprises debiting an amount (CT) corresponding to a usage period (AT) and replacing the time variable (Rdate) with a corresponding duration.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'assurer une connectivité sécurisée au moyen d'algorithmes IPSEC de réseaux privés virtuels normalisés dans un environnement mobile et dans un environnement informatique à connexion intermittente. Le procédé et le dispositif décrits dans cette invention améliorent les algorithmes normalisés en cours en permettant à des dispositifs migrateurs d'établir ou de rétablir automatiquement des sessions de sécurité au fur et à mesure que le système terminal mobile se déplace à travers des réseaux homogènes ou hétérogènes, et en même temps, de maintenir une session d'application réseau. Les transitions entre les réseaux s'opèrent sans interruption, par blindage d'applications en réseau contre des interruptions de connectivité. Il n'est pas nécessaire que les applications et/ou les utilisateurs aient connaissance de ces transitions, bien qu'une intervention soit possible. Le procédé décrit dans l'invention ne nécessite aucune modification de l'infrastructure de réseau existante ni des applications en réseau.

Abstract: On a transparent substrate (1), a first alternating periodic layer (5) including low-refractive-index layers (2) and high-refractive-index layers (3), a second alternating periodic layer (6) including the low-refractive-index layers (2) or the high-refractive-index layers (3) and intermediate-refractive-index layers (4), and a third alternating periodic layer (7) including the low-refractive-index layers (2) and the high-refractive-index layers (3) are provided in this order. The refractive index of the intermediate-refractive-index layers (4) is higher than that of the low-refractive-index layers (2) and lower than that of the high-refractive-index layers (3). Furthermore, the intermediate-refractive-index layers (4) contain materials for the low-refractive-index layers (2) and the high-refractive-index layers (3). A dichroic mirror thus configured has a narrow color separating band between a transmission wavelength band and a reflection wavelength band, and therefore has a satisfactory color separating efficiency. Accordingly, a projection-type display unit using the dichroic mirror provides satisfactory color reproduction while retaining a high spectrum utilization efficiency.

Abstract: A fluid control valve for use with apparatus for medical use. Commercially available valves which operate by electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic means are often expensive and bulky. They may require excessive power to operate them and can be noisy during operation due to moving parts and fluid flow through internal pathways. The valve of the present invention has a valve seal (1) mounted between inlet (A) and outlet ports (B), with the seal including a valve closure member (4) operated by means of a control fluid fed through a control port (C) in the valve body. In operation a pressure differential acting to open and close the valve is set up between the inlet and outlet ports and the control port to operate the valve. This design results in cost savings and performance benefits compared with the prior art.
