The first liquid phase 3 is especially suitable as washing liquid in counterflow washing processes as it contains no obstructive undissolved substances. Also, the disposal of this liquid phase is simpler. The second liquid phase 4 with the undissolved substances is generated in higher concentration compared to conventional processes so that the processing of this phase is less cumbersome.

Title: System for human trajectory learning

Granted: 1999-01-07
Abstract: In an apparatus and method for teaching motor skills to a human subject, learning by a student is based upon imitation of a teacher's motion. The teacher's motion is sensed by a motion sensing device, is digitized by a computer, and is then recorded in non-volatile computer memory. The computer generates an image sequence of the teacher on the computer display for the student to view and imitate. The same motion sensing device used to record the teacher's movement records the student's movement and the computer creates an image sequence on the display corresponding to the student's movement, simultaneously providing an image sequence of the teacher's movement. The training of the student is based upon displaying the pre-stored teacher's motion on the screen. The student's task is to imitate the teacher's movement. This process is repeated until the teacher's and student's trajectories match well in space and time.

Abstract: A conductor bar configuration includes a multiplicity of conductor bars extending along a longitudinal axis, stacked on one another along a vertical axis and each having four cooling ducts aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis, disposed next to one another in pairs in the direction of a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and to the vertical axis and disposed one behind another in pairs along the longitudinal axis. Each cooling duct has an associated orifice in the vicinity of one end of the configuration and reaches into one of two gas outlet zones disposed approximately in the middle relative to the longitudinal axis, where it merges into an outlet duct directed at an acute angle to the vertical axis. For each pair of cooling ducts situated next to one another in the case of each conductor bar, the orifice of one cooling duct is disposed directly at one end and the orifice of the other cooling duct is spaced from that end. For each pair of cooling ducts disposed one behind another the orifice of one cooling duct is disposed directly at that end to which it leads, and the orifice of the other cooling duct is spaced from that end to which it leads. A rotor assembly includes a multiplicity of identical configurations and is suitable for forming a rotor winding of an electric machine, in particular a turbogenerator. The conductor bars are interconnected by conductor bows disposed at each end and bent approximately in the shape of a circular arc about the longitudinal axis.

The supporting structure comprises beams attached to the ceiling and forming a rectangular space. Inside the space, there are non-interchangeable gas connectors attached to a gas supply of the hospital and a gas-tight electric box comprising terminals connected to the electric supply of the hospital. The equipment is mounted on support plates, which in turn are supported by support profiles attached to beams. The equipment is connected to the non-interchangeable gas connectors inside the space. Gas-tight hoses are provided between the electric box and the equipment for enclosing the electric wires between the terminals of the electric box and the equipment. In this way separate gas-tight passages are provided for the electric wires, avoiding hazard risks. The support plates support medical support service units for intensive care rooms forming a support structure for equipment necessary close to the bed in an intensive care room, such as a monitor (90), suction units (97), blood pressure monitors. The service unit is a rectangular frame (85, 86, 87, 88) supported by a pivotable arm (82, 83, 80) and a bearing (84), in order to extend essentially vertically from the arm and downwards to adjacent the floor. The rectangular space is sufficiently open for allowing sight through the frame for supervision of the patient. The space outside the vertical beams is free for service staff to work. The service unit can also be supported by a stand including wheels.

Abstract: The image capture panel includes a number of sensors arrayed adjacent to a substrate layer of dielectric material, and a radiation sensitive layer disposed over the sensors. The radiation sensitive layer is exposed to a first uniform pattern of light radiation for partially neutralizing residual electrical charges trapped within the image capture panel. The radiation sensitive layer is then exposed to a second uniform pattern of light radiation sufficient to neutralize all residual electrical charges trapped within the image capture panel. The substrate layer and each sensing element have an optical density that is substantially transparent to light radiation from the panels, thereby allowing light radiation to penetrate through it and reach the bottom surface of the radiation sensitive layer.

Date Nov. 14, 1996A measure for dispensing measured quantities of two liquors from a pair of bottles has a pair of measuring and receiving bowls associated with the bottles. Sleeves engage within necks of the bottles for delivery of liquid from each bottle to an associated bowl. Valve members in each bowl have normally open inlet liquid seals which cooperate with the sleeves to control filling of the bowls. Outlet liquid seals on the valve members normally close liquid outlets of the bowls. An actuating lever is operable to raise the valve members, moving the seals upwardly for opening the outlets and closing the inlets of the bowls. Thus, liquid measures flow from the bowls substantially concurrently into a glass or the like placed below the liquid outlets. The outlets are arranged to direct the two liquids to opposite sides of the glass so that the liquids remain separated within the glass. Release of the actuating lever drops the valve members closing the liquid outlets and opening the inlets for recharging the bowls.

The liquid level sensing electrode capable of contacting with a liquid to be pipetted is electrically separated from an inner tube filled with the moving fluid, and the both are insulated by an electric insulating member (104B, 403, 503) between them. A container (111) containing the liquid to be pipetted is held by a container holder (112), and a liquid level can be detected by change in an electrostatic capacitance between the container holder and the liquid level sensing electrode of the probe when the probe is moved downward. During sucking the liquid, the inner tube is not brought in contact with the liquid. The inner tube and the container holder are grounded. <IMAGE>
