Title: Rubber hot-water bottle closure
Inventor: LANGE GEORG OSWALD
IPC: A61F7/02
Filed: 2000-01-05
Abstract: Existing rubber hot-water bottles have a screw-type closure which is arranged directly on the hot-water bottle, and which forms a rather hard seal which causes discomfort to the user when lying on the bottle. Moreover, a screw-type closure is tedious to operate and must be screwed in using a certain amount of force which also corresponds to forces required for loosening. In order to avoid these disadvantages, the invention provides that the bottle neck (21) is configured in such a way that the closure is located distinctly at a distance from the body (20) of the bottle when the fill opening (22) is closed. According to another embodiment, a clamping device (23, 40, 60) is provided on the bottle neck (21) of the rubber hot-water bottle with which the bottle neck (21) can be closed. Clamping devices are easy to operate and require only a small amount of force for closing. In addition, they are easy to open and comprise a very flat design so that they do not cause discomfort to the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for
crushing and pulverizing tire chips roughly crushed to a size of 10 cm in
length by completely separating to rubber components from iron
components in a single crushing process. It is intended to extensively
simplify the process to produce rubber powder from waste tires and to
promote material recycling of the used tires. The method comprises the
steps of catching the tire chips between monoaxial rotary blades 3 rotated
within a casing 2 and fixed blades 4 and 4 fixed and arranged at opposed
positions and maintaining a gap slightly larger than diameter of a piano wire
9 contained in the tires, rupturing only the rubber components without
cutting piano wires and steel fibers, tearing and withdrawing rubber
components by rotation of the rotary blade 3, and crushing while separating
rubber components from iron components.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lumen support stent for use in an artery or any body lumen. The stent is formed from a plurality of ladder elements having elongated ribs and end rungs affixed to the elongated ribs. The elongated ribs of adjacent ladder elements are slidably engaged by the end rungs of adjacent ladder elements. Sliding of the elongated ribs creates a variable distance between the end rungs of adjacent ladder elements. Consequently, the stent has a first diameter in which the distance between end rungs of adjacent ladder elements is collapsed, and a variable second diameter in which the distance between end rungs of adjacent ladder elements is expanded.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for shaping a slab of compressible or cellular polymer material (80), such as polyurethane foam, cuts portions of the material from one surface of the slab. A moving patterned platform (32), preferably an endless belt or a series of interconnected panels, is interposed in a predetermined gap formed between a compression roller (56) and a drive roller (18) and defines at least one recess (36) or at least one projection (320) or a combination of recesses and projections. When the slab is compressed between the compression roller and the platform, a portion of the material fills the recess or recesses in the moving platform. At least a portion of the compressed material within the recess(es) is then cut from the surface of the slab by a blade (76) just as the slab emerges from between the compression roller and the platform, leaving a profile-cut surface with cut-out portion(s) corresponding in pattern and shape to the recess(es) provided in the moving patterned platform. Alternatively, a portion of the  material is forced away from the blade (76) by the projection or projections (320) so that a portion of compressed material is not cut by the blade (76).

Abstract: An optical sensor (107) whose output represents or measures movement of the skin of the suprasternal notch (101), this movement being a measure of respiratory effort. A soft, low irritant adhesive material (104), which may be left in place on the skin for several days, allows the sensor to be placed and removed as often as desired without injuring the skin. The use of a trough detector, with a time constant long compared with a breath but short compared to the interval between changes in body position, allows detection of the optical signal corresponding to zero effort. Subtraction of the trough signal from the optical signal produces a self-zeroing effort signal which automatically compensates for changes in body position.
