Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NL97/00145 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 15, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 15, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 20, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/35144 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 25, 1997A setting foot (1) for positioning machines, for example, on a base, comprises two setting members (2, 8) which can be mutually vertically displaced with respect to one another by a screw thread. The upper setting member (8) comprises a spherical surface, along which a bearing plate (17) with a spherical surface can slide. A first flexible sealing ring (21) may be accommodated between the lower (2) and the upper setting member (8), and, in the event of rotation of the upper setting member (8), bridges the spacing between the two setting members (2, 8). As a result, contamination of the screw thread is prevented. A second sealing ring (27) may be positioned along the outer circumference of the bearing plate (17), so that the curved surfaces are protected from the lateral penetration of dirt or moisture. A height indication (23) may be accommodated along the outer circumference of the upper or lower setting member (2, 8), which height indication can be covered by the sealing element (21). A lower O-ring (25) may also be accommodated, in order to prevent the penetration of moisture or dirt along the underside of the setting foot (1).

Abstract: A composition for saturation of preformed, previously cured foam substrates having an at least partially open cell configuration, includes a polymer binder in which microspheres containing a phase change material are dispersed. Preferred phase change materials include paraffinic hydrocarbons. The microspheres may be microencapsulated. A preferred cured foam substrate is a skived polyurethane or polyether foam of from 20 to 1,000 mils in thickness, preferably 20 to 200 mils in thickness, having up to 6 ounces per square yard or more of encapsulated phase change material embedded in a polymer binder. One method of applying the binder with dispersed encapsulated phase change materials is by applying a binder/microsphere dispersion to the upper surface of a previously cured foam sheet, then drawing a vacuum from the underside of the cured foam sheet to permeate from 20 % to 100 % of the cured foam sheet with the binder/microsphere dispersion. The resulting product is then cured. An alternative method of applying the binder with embedded encapsulated phase change materials using knife over roll technique to an exposed surface of the skived foam is disclosed in which the most preferred viscosity of the uncured polymer binder is from 7,000 to 9,000 centipoise.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de préparation d'une poudre de fluoropolymère. Ce procédé consiste à densifier un fluoropolymère sous forme d'une poudre brute au moyen de cylindres sous des conditions permettant d'obtenir une gravité spécifique d'au moins 90 % de la gravité spécifique vraie, à pulvériser la poudre densifiée, à éliminer les particules fines dans une proportion de 3 à 40 % de la masse de la totalité de la distribution du calibre particulaire du produit pulvérisé grâce à une classification par air, et à éliminer les particules grossières dans une proportion de 1 à 20 % de la masse de la totalité de la distribution du calibre particulaire du produit pulvérisé. La poudre de fluoropolymère préparée selon ce procédé se caractérise par sa bonne productibilité et sa bonne fluidité en poudre. Elle convient donc particulièrement comme poudre de revêtement et ne cause aucune contamination lorsqu'elle est mise thermiquement en fusion.

Abstract: An improvement is accomplished in apparatus for the continuous production of tubing from tubing stock, and like, elongated, closed structures from appropriate stocks. The apparatus includes welding means for continuously welding the tubing stock to form the tubing, with the welding occurring at a welding station. Downstream of the welding station are stations for the further processing of the tubing after welding, which generate conditions adverse to interior coatings. In apparatus as described, the improvement comprises several inventive features. A spray head provides for spraying of coating, and fits within the tubing. An elongated, flexible lance locates the spraying means downstream of the processing stations which generate adverse interior coating conditions, by introduction of the spray head into the tubing interior upstream of the welding station, and after introduction, movement of the spray head into the desired downstream position. The lance extends from the point of introduction to the properly located spraying means through the tubing. A coating supply lumen extends along the lance and supplies coating material under pressure to the spray head. Finally, a cooling jacket extends along the lance from the point of introduction to the spray head, and cools the supplied coating material to protect against high temperature damage. Because of the apparatus as described, environmentally friendly, waterbased paints and coatings may be successfully applied to the tubing interior. As most preferred, the lance, coating supply, and cooling jacket together take the form of three concentric layers of hose, with the coating material supplied through the innermost hose. The middle hose supplies cooling water, and the outer hose accomplishes water return.

Abstract: To form a round twisted electric cable, with wire cable components (1) twisted in both directions, static guides (9) for the wires (1) are in front of the twist holding zone (L). Guides (2,3), with a circular arc shape, apply a torque to the wires (1) which match the circular cross section of a round cable. The static guides (9) move the wires (1) into the angular lie at the twisting cable.  The gap (L) between the twisting head (4) and the static guides (9) is a whole number multiple of the gap at the change points of the pitch direction at the finished cable, within a tolerance of 20%, and is longer than the length of the twist holding zone for winding the wires (1). The twisting of the wires (1) round their own axes is measured (7) shortly before the twisting head (4), in relation to the profiled guides (2,3), and the angular deviation is taken for correction of the pitch lengths.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for making and using bioadhesive, bioresorbable, anti-adhesion compositions made of intermacromolecular complexes of carboxyl-containing polysaccharides and polyethers, and to the resulting compositions. The polymers are associated with each other, and are then either dried or are used as fluids. Bioresorbable, bioadhesive, anti-adhesion compositions are useful in surgery to prevent the formation of post-surgical adhesions. The compositions are designed to breakdown in-vivo, and thus be removed from the body. Membranes are inserted during surgery either dry or optionally after conditioning in aqueous solutions. The anti-adhesion, bioadhesive, bioresorptive, antithrombogenic and physical properties of such membranes can be varied as needed by carefully adjusting the pH of the polymer casting solutions, polysaccharide composition, the polyether composition, or by conditioning the membranes prior to surgical use. Bi- or multi-layered membranes can be made and used to provide further control over the physical and biological properties of antiadhesion membranes. Antiadhesion compositions may also be used to deliver drugs to the surgical site and release them locally.
