Title: Apparatus and method for facilitating the replacement of an implanted catheter
Inventor: PORTER CHRISTOPHER H
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2007-01-06
Abstract: A medical apparatus and method of use for implanting a percutaneous catheter in a patient's body which catheter can be easily positioned, repositioned, and replaced. The apparatus includes an elongate sleeve comprising a wall surrounding an interior elongate passageway. The passageway extends from a sleeve proximal end to a sleeve distal end. The sleeve is intended to be percutaneously implanted through an incision in the patient's skin so that the sleeve distal end resides subcutaneously. The sleeve outer peripheral surface carries a layer of porous material intended to be placed just under the patient's outer skin layer in contact with the dermis to promote tissue ingrowth for anchoring the sleeve and forming an infection resistant barrier. The sleeve passageway is dimensioned to snugly accommodate the outer surface of catheter while permitting the catheter to slide relative to the sleeve. A sealing device is mounted around the catheter adjacent to the sleeve proximal end to prevent deleterious material from migrating into the patient's body along the catheter outer surface.

Patent EP-0437613-A4 (EP)
IPC: H01G4/12
Filed: 1990-03-14
Abstract: Condensateur céramique à semi-conducteur travaillant normalement comme condensateur d'absorption des bruits basse tension et des bruits haute fréquence, et comme varistor lorsqu'on lui applique des impulsions de haute tension ou des bruits d'électricité statique. Le matériau dont est constitué ce condensateur céramique est essentiellement du Sr(1-x)BaxTiO3, ce qui permet de cuire simultanément le matériau et l'électrode interne lors de la production. On décrit également un procédé de production de ce condensateur. A cet effet on ajoute un composant servant à transformer un matériau en semi-conducteur à une quantité excédentaire de Ti de Sr(1-x)BaxTiO3; on ajoute encore les composants Mn et Si qui se transforment en MnO2 et SiO2 respectivement pendant la cuisson, et l'on obtient aisément un semi-conducteur isolé par coupure de grain pour condensateurs, uniquement par réoxidation sans l'étape habituelle de diffusion en surface d'oxydes métalliques. En outre, selon l'invention, on calcine à l'air le comprimé après stratification pour obtenir un condensateur céramique stratifié présentant une fonction de varistor. Ce procédé permet d'éliminer dans la mesure du possible des désavantages tels que la rupture de l'électrode interne, le décollement interlaminaire, les fissures, la faible densité après frittage, et la non-homogénéité de la structure du corps fritté. Ce condensateur présente une remarquable amélioration de sa fiabilité et de ses caractéristiques électriques, telles que la capacité, la valeur de tension non linéaire exponentielle α et la tension de varistor.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling a fume hood.
Inventor: SHARP GORDON P
IPC: F24F7/007
Filed: 1992-08-17
Abstract: This invention relates to a fume hood controlling method and apparatus which reduces the amount of replacement air required to operate a fume hood by permitting the fume hood to operate at a relatively low face velocity in the absence of a containment affecting condition, but which is capable of detecting the occurrence of a containment affecting condition, such as the presence or movement of a user within a selected area of the face of the fume hood, and of increasing face velocity to a selected level in response to such detection. When the detected condition no longer exists, the control automatically returns the fume hood to the lower face velocity, preferably with a time delay. Maximum replacement air volume and minimum replacement air volume may also be controlled in response to such detection.

A supplemental controller (32) along with supplemental remote terminal units (SRTUs) (34) also are included for expanding the range of the system. A switch (38) is included in the second channel so as to selectively link either the supplemental controller (32) or the master radio (14) to the master controller (12) for providing response messages. The supplemental controller (32) monitors the first channel to identify messages having an STRU address. When such a message is identified, the switch (38) is set to select the supplemental controller (32). The supplemental controller (32) includes a main task for monitoring and testing master controller messages.

Title: Apparatus for and method of detecting decrease of air pressure in tire.
Inventor: OKAWA YASUSHI OSAKA WORKS OF S
IPC: B60C23/06
Filed: 1993-09-14
Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting a decrease of the air pressure in a tire for a four-wheel vehicle. Letting the rotational angular velocities of four tires are F1, F2, F3, F4, a judgement value dF is expressed by the following equation (A): dF=(F1+F4)/(F2+F3). The judgement value dF is a ratio of the sum (F1+F4) of the rotational angular velocities of one pair of tires on a diagonal to that (F2+F3) of the rotational angular velocities of the other pair. When the air pressures in the four tires are all normal, (F1+F4)=(F2+F3), so that dF=1. When the pressure in any one of the tires decreases, dF1. Therefore, when the judgement value is compared with a predetermined value, a decrease in the air pressure in a tire is detected.
