The platform part (13) is located on level with or below the carrying beams (12, 12'), which at their ends change into jibs (15, 15') located above the beams so that these may be applied on top of the bogies (3), without the platform (13) being markedly distanced vertically from the wheel base of the bogies. The load carrier (2) is on one hand coupled to the bogie via a joint (25, 26) in order to allow for relative turning motions between the bogie and the load carrier, and on the other hand detachably connected with each one of the bogies, in order to, in an inactive state in connection with loading and unloading, be able to be displaced with each end laterally. In this way, a removal of the load carrier to a laterally pivoted position is allowed for, in which a vehicle may be driven on and off the platform part in the area between the carrying beams (12, 12') of the load carrier.

Abstract: In order to cool a room, a cooling element fitted in the ceiling region is cooled to below the freezing point, preferably to about -40 DEG  C., during the cooling phases so that condensate forming thereon freezes immediately. During regeneration phases when the room is not in use, the cooling element is defrosted and the melted condensate is caught in a condensate tray beneath the cooling element and drained via a discharge. The great temperature difference between the room to be cooled and the cooling element also makes it possible to obtain a strong cooling effect with a small cooling element, especially by indirect radiation exchange between the room and the cooling element via an intermediate ceiling. In addition, the air in the room is dehumidified since water vapour is deposited on and bonded to the cooling element in the form of ice. Moreover, the cooling element itself is supported by a tray and a stand upon a floor, and detachable from the floor so that the cooling element is capable of being relocated to different locations.

Abstract: In this invention radioactive or hazardous containing materials are vitrified in a melter having two or more chambers. Glass feed materials are added to the primary chamber of the melter and they are heated to a molten glass which is then transported to one or more secondary chambers where hazardous and/or radioactive containing materials are added and are encapsulated and/or melted. In addition, the non-plutonium part of a glass feed can be melted in a non-radioactive environment which permits contact operations and maintenance; no radioactive shielding; and a conventional off gas system-similar to commercial vitrification plants. The hot molten "clean" glass is directed into a radioactive containment such as a "glove box"; shielded "glove box"; or hot cell, or a combination of these. By delivering hot "clean" glass from a melter including non-radioactive materials, 90% of the off gases will be non-radioactive. Thereby only minimum heating is needed in the radioactive containment resulting in very significant reductions in size of the maintenance requirements for the radioactive portion of the process. In the radioactive portion, the glove box will include means for adding plutonium feed. The glass melt will be homogenized with the plutonium feed, optionally by additional stirring. Once the plutonium glass is sufficiently homogeneous, it can be cooled in the container in the glove box or the container becomes a disposal container for the glass. If the melt chamber is different than the container, the melt is discharged to a separate container, all within the glove box, for subsequent disposal.

Abstract: Pour produire une pièce façonnée à partir d'un matériau de contact à base d'argent, il est prévu selon l'invention de préparer un mélange pulvérulent d'argent et d'un oxyde de métal, et de le traiter selon un procédé de métallurgie des poudres, pour obtenir la pièce façonnée, l'oxyde de métal étant réduit en poudre. Les poudres d'oxyde de métal s'obtenant dans une granulation nettement plus fine que les poudres de métal, on peut obtenir un matériau de contact dont la grosseur granulaire moyenne du métal incorporé comme constituant actif est inférieure à 1 νm. Cette granulation fine confère à un matériau de contact de ce type des propriétés de commutation particulièrement avantageuses.

Abstract: A balloon angioplasty catheter combines a catheter shaft having increased pushability with an elongated, gradually tapered, highly flexible, lubricity coated, distal tip that is specifically designed to penetrate through a tight stenosis. The distal end of the tip is formed as a very thin-walled, tapered, frustrum of a cone that is capable of following a guide wire through even the most tortuous coronary arteries. The proximal end of the tip has a diameter that is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of an angioplasty balloon that is wrapped around a catheter shaft at a distal section of the balloon angioplasty catheter. One embodiment of the invention includes a thin-walled tube located at the proximal end of the distal tip which extends over the distal end of the angioplasty balloon. This design can prevent the distal end of the wrapped pre-deployed balloon from engaging the arterial wall as it is pushed through a tight stenosis. The balloon angioplasty catheter can be designed with the capability for either or both a rapid exchange or over-the-wire mode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The conceptual approach consists in acquiring an MR image or spectrum for any pH-sensitive MR property of molecules non-permeable to the membrane. The chemical shift of a nucleus localized in, or in close proximity to, an ionizable group of a non-permeable molecule, is normally used as a "pH informative resonance" in the extracellular space. Several MR methods (CSIC - Chemical shift selective imaging, or SI - spectroscopic image) can be used to determine the spatial distribution of the "informative resonance", and thereby the extracellular pH distribution within the sample. This information is most useful in clinical conditions such as muscular dystrophy, isquemia, tumoral transformation and metastasis, among others.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection element (10) for the isolated single-conductors (20) of a high-frequency cable (12), which are twisted in pairs. Said element has an even number of contact grooves (18) with a cutting or holing device fitted through the insulation (22) of the inserted single-conductor (20), so as to face the end of the conductor. The contact grooves (18) of the connection element (10) have a catch (30) in a first section (D) of the groove length (L) for the associated unseparated conductor pairs (26). This first section is the conductor pair zone (24). A second section (E) of the groove length (L), the single-conductor zone, has catch elements (32, 24) for the single-conductors (20). After uncovering the twisted conductor pairs (26) and the terminal single-conductors (20), the unseparated conductor pairs (26) are locked in the conductor pair zone (24), and the single-conductors (20) are locked in a contact groove (18). In this way, all locked single-conductors (20) and conductor pairs (26) can be pushed into their contact groove (18) or conductor pair zone (24) with the aid of a sealing cap.
