IPC: F16J15/38
Filed: 1981-05-25
Granted: 1985-10-30
Abstract: A self compensating seal apparatus is provided for forming a seal between two rotary members such as the body and cutting head of a rotary drill bit to seal the space between the members from an external environment. The seal apparatus comprises a first sealing device mounted in a first of the members and a second sealing device mounted in the second of the members, the first and second sealing devices being positioned opposite to and in contact with each other along a contact plane and forming a seal therebetween. A Belleville spring is fixedly mounted in the first member for producing a force on the first sealing device in a direction perpendicular to the contact plane such that the first sealing device is biased and held in contact with the second sealing device. A third sealing device seals the Belleville spring and the space between the first and second members from the external environment. The third sealing device includes an inclined plane portion on the first member and an annular elastic sealing member contacting the inclined plane portion and the first sealing device. It also includes an 0-ring seal between the first member and the first sealing device. The third sealing device in combination with the first and second sealing devices, forms a floating seal which can move in response to wear of the faces of the first and second seal devices and tolerances and/or misalignment of the first and second members.

Abstract: A telephone exchange, for example a PABX installation, is equipped with stations/extensions (A', A') and is so arranged that predetermined stations/extensions are able from their own instrument to initiate referral/transfer of calls, i.e, automatic referral or automatic transfer, using dialling devices or some similar arrangement on or adjacent to the instrument. Paging equipment and/or a bank of telephone answering machines are connected to the exchange so as to be accessible in the same way as ordinary stations or extensions. Each paging device and/or telephone answering machine is so arranged as to serve as a receiving device for the automatically referred or automatically transferred station/extension. Any incoming call to the automatically referred or automatically transferred station/extension will be diverted to the appropriate receiving device, via or by means of which the caller can be connected to the station /extension or informed of the fact that he is being referred/transferred, or even provided with additional information, e.g. the reason for the referral/transfer or the time of return, etc. In this way the caller need not be familiar with the paging and transfer procedures, etc., within that particular exchange which are necessary in order to be connected to or to obtain information about the station/extension concerned.

IPC: B29C41/00
Filed: 1983-07-12
Granted: 1987-01-14
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved integral manifold for a sprue gated multi-cavity injection molding system and a method of manufacturing the same. The manifold has an inner body portion which fits into a hollow retaining ring portion to define a circular peripheral space between them. The inner body portion is formed of a corrosion and abrasion resistant material such as stainless steel and has a number of straight melt ducts extending through it from a common inlet to spaced outlets each leading to a central bore in separate heated nozzles. The peripheral space contains an electric heating element surrounded by a highly conductive material such as copper. The manifold is manufactured by assembling the retaining ring portion on the inner body portion with the heating element in the space between them. A filler tube is located on the retaining ring portion in alignment with a filler duct therethrough and all the joints are sealed by brazing the assembly in a vacuum furnace. A copper slug is then inserted into the filler tube and the assembly is again heated in a vacuum furnace to cast the copper into the peripheral space around the heating element. This provides an integral unit with an improved combination of the characteristics of corrosion and abrasion resistance and thermal conductivity, as well as straight melt ducts which facilitate cleaning.

Title: Irradiation of povidone and povidone-iodine
IPC: A61L2/08
Filed: 1983-05-12
Granted: 1986-10-29
Abstract: Povidone is sterilized by irradiation in the presence of iodine and iodide ions. In particular solutions of povidone are sterilized by gamma-irradiating the povidone in the presence of iodine and iodide ions, which are present in an amount which prevents gelation at that dose of gamma radiation which would cause gelation in the absence of the iodine and iodide ions. The gamma irradiation of povidone may be effected in the presence of iodine with both iodide and iodate ions or as povidone-iodine in the presence of iodide and/or iodate ions. Sterilization thus effected by gamma radiation while preventing gelation of the povidone and degradation of the povidone-iodine.
