Filed: 1988-03-01
Abstract: A dressing for retaining a cannula on the skin is described. The dressing comprises a backing film coated on one face with an adhesive layer and with first and second release sheets covering the adhesive layer. A hole and a dividing line are cut through the dressing and second release sheet so that the dividing line extends from the hole to one edge of the dressing and the edge of the second release sheet. In use when the second release sheet is removed the hole in the dressing fits around the indwelling cannula. In a preferred form a portion of the dressing comprises an adhesive coated handle which is stiffer than the remainder of the dressing and which carries the hole and dividing line.

Abstract: A machine for transforming zigzag wire to the slotted tubular form ready for use as a binding element comprises means for feeding a strip of zigzag wire longtitudinally, means for arresting the feed of each prong of the wire strip as it reaches a shaping station, means for clamping each prong at that station and means at the station for shaping each clamped prong. The shaping means comprises two or more forming tools mounted on rollers which are driven by drive shafts, at least one roller being angularly adjustable relative to its drive shaft. This allows the operation of the forming tools to be synchronised so that symmetrical shaping of the zigzag wire is achieved. The feed means are rotary and means are provided whereby the feed of each prong is arrested for at least one eighth of each revolution of the rotary feed means The shaping of the zigzag strip is facilitated and improved since the strip is held stationary for a relatively long period of time.

Abstract: Enhanced combustion of pulverised fuel in an oxy-fuel burner (10) is achieved by replacing the conventional pulverised fuel feed with a dense phase material flow transport system. This enables materials which would hitherto have been discarded as waste to be used as a viable energy source. In addition to greatly enhancing combustion the swirlers conventionally associated with the oxy-fuel burner (10) may be omitted.

Abstract: Variable discharge and energy recovery is produced by an adjustable spool (30) in fluid communication with the outlet chamber (28) for adjustably providing pressurized fluid from the outlet chamber (28) to selected portions of the demeshing area of the intermeshing teeth to vary the discharge flow of the pump and the amount of energy recovery. This results in maintaining a positive pressure in selected portions of the demeshing area as well as equalizing the pressure in the selected areas to the pressure in the outlet chamber (28). The adjustable spool (30) also controls the connection between the inlet chamber (26) and the demeshing area to vary the energy recovery.

Abstract: @ Separation in solution of preselected ions from other ions of the same sign is effected with at least one membrane comprising (a) an ion transport selective film matrix formed from one or more hydrophobic, film-forming polymers com- prsing covalently-attached ionizable radicals; and (b) a polymer effective to reduce the electrical resistance per micron thickness of film (a) by at least ℓ of an order of magnitude, and derived from units comprising monomers containing amino groups. A selective electrodialysis unit for effecting such separation comprises at least one thin, dense non-porous charged membrane defined as above, which has a dielectric constant and composition preselected to induce selective ion dissociation of a first group of charged ions upon the passage of current therethrough, so as to effect a substantial ion migration of the selected ion group across the membrane at a fraction larger than its relative concentration. The invention may be adapted for e.g. the selective transportation of nitrate ions from the diluting to the concentrating compartments of the unit, from an aqueous stream containing nitrate, bicarbonate and sulfate ions, the scale formation on the unit being thereby substantially reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to engine air intakes for aerospace vehicles in which a variable geometry ramp system is employed for matching air intake flow to propulsion engine demand. To alleviate the induced high pressure loads on the ramps and the ramp actuators arising from the air intake flow a reacting pressure is applied to the opposite face of the ramps. The ramp assembly in addition to defining the required air intake duct geometry further defines the adjacent boundary of an enclosure which is pressurised by ram air and vented as required as a function of the load on one of the ramp actuating jacks to give the desired load alleviation.

Abstract: A device for detecting the leading end and the remaining amount of a strip-like material A) unrolled from a roll (R) is disclosed. This device includes a swing arm (5). A roller carrier (7) is pivotally mounted on the distal end portion of the swing arm (5). Two contact rollers 8) and a sensor (9) are arranged on the roller carrier (7). The contact rollers (8) of the roller carrier are brought into rolling contact with the peripheral surface of the roll. When the strip-like material is unrolled from the roll and the diameter of the roll is changed, the swing arm (5) swings so that the roller carrier (7) follows the change in diameter. Therefore, the sensor (9) is always adjacent to the peripheral surface of the roll (R), and can reliably detect an object to be detected (C) of the strip-like material (A) of the roll.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving broadcast FM waves using an FM (Frequency Modulated) detector is disclosed in which an output signal level of an automatic gain controller (AGC) (17) is controllable so that when the C/N ratio is reduced and the output level of the automatic gain controller is reduced, the loop gain of a PLL type FM demodulator is accordingly reduced and response is delayed with the bandwidth being narrowed. Therefore, since delayed threshold extension is applied thereby, no signal noise, such as white points appearing on an image screen, will occur.

Abstract: A polyurethane containing a metal phthalocyanine in the main chain is a novel compound and can be divided into two groups; one of which is a linear polymer and the other of which is a cross-linked polymer. This substance is useful as a redox catalyst due to the peculiar properties of the metal phthalocyanine. The polyurethane can be prepared by reacting a metal phthalocyanine polycarboxylic acid with thionyl chloride to obtain a metal phthalocyanine polycarboxylic acid polychloride; synthesizing a metal phthalocyanine polyhydroxy ester from the metal phthalocyanine polycarboxylic acid polychloride and a diol: HO-R¹-OH through a dehydrochlorination; and then addition-condensation-polymerizing the resulting metal phthalocyanine polyhydroxy ester, a diol: HO-R²-OH and a diisocyanate. The polyurethane containing a metal phthalocyanine in the main chain is dissolved in an organic solvent to obtain a stock solution for spinning and the stock solution is spun according to a wet spinning technique to give a polyurethane fiber comprising the polyurethane containing a metal phthalocyanine in the main chain.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission 16, upshifting is controlled by ramping down the pressure in an off-going clutch C1-C5 associated with a high speed ratio and increasing the pressure in an on-coming clutch C1-C5 associated with a lower speed ratio. The on-coming clutch C1-C5 has commanded pressure at a maximum value for an initial fill time, a lower increasing ramp value during the ramp of the off-going clutch until the on-coming clutch starts to engage, and then a closed-loop control until the clutch C1-C5 reaches a synchronous speed. The closed-loop control parameter is on-coming clutch slip speed which is controlled to a calculated slip speed profile. The profile has a first steep slope and a final less steep slope so that the actual slip can smoothly go to zero in a given time period.
