Patent EP-0502664-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MOOREHEAD ROBERT H
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1992-02-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods and apparatus for a reinforced catheter which can be employed to withstand the damaging stresses experienced by catheters implanted in bodily tissues, particularly catheters implanted in the compressed area between the clavicle and first rib of a patient. The reinforced catheter is made from a nonmetallic inner tubular sleeve comprised wholly of a compliant material that is inserted selectively within a catheter. 
     The reinforced catheter can be manufactured by immersing a portion of a catheter in freon which causes the immersed portion to swell. Thereafter, a reinforcing sleeve, having an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter of the preimmersed catheter, but having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the immersed catheter, can be advanced site-selectively to a position within the catheter. Finally, the portions of the exposed catheter are allowed to return to their normal size around the inserted reinforcing sleeve. 
     Alternatively, the reinforced catheter can be manufactured by advancing a reinforcing sleeve siteselectively to a position within the catheter by introducing pressurized gas within the catheter. As the reinforcing sleeve is moved to the opening of the catheter, a hollow rod, connected to an air pump, forces air ahead of and around the reinforcing sleeve, increasing the diameter of the catheter surrounding the reinforcing sleeve so that the reinforcing sleeve may be advanced. After the reinforcing sleeve is in position, the rod is removed and the catheter returns to its normal position surrounding the reinforcing sleeve.

Abstract: In the process, either the binder (7) is applied progressively in liquid form to the ground surface (3) and the aggregate is likewise progressively scattered (9) onto the ground surface (3), or the mineral aggregate is mixed (17) by machine with the binder to form a slurry directly before applying to the ground surface (3) and this slurry is progressively applied by machine to the ground surface (3) to form the covering. The aggregate (21) is prelaid on the ground surface (3) to be provided with the covering or next to the said surface and, during application of the covering, is picked up from the ground and fed to the scattering (9) onto the ground surface to be provided with the covering or is fed to the mixing (17) with the binder for subsequent application to the ground surface. It is favourable in this case if the aggregate is prelaid in the form of an essentially continuous piled heap. The apparatus (1) is provided with drawing-in or feeding means (24), by which the aggregate (21) is continuously picked up from the ground and passed on for scattering or mixing with the binder. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1992-09-01
Abstract: Une matrice de formage (13) comportant une cavité matricielle (19) contient une ébauche de formage (17) composée d'un alliage métallique aux propriétés de superplasticité. La pression de formage dans un espace sous pression (18) contigu à l'ébauche de formage (17) est régulée par un régulateur de pression (23). Le volume de la cavité matricielle (19) est déterminé, lorsque la masse de gaz est initialement contenue dans la cavité (19) au début du cycle de formage. Le temps de formage total est déterminé de manière empirique. La vitesse moyenne d'écoulement de la masse de gaz qui s'échappera de la cavité (19) est calculée en divisant la masse de gaz totale initialement contenue dans la cavité (19) par le temps de formage total. Un compteur (33) d'écoulement du gaz communique fluidiquement avec la cavité (19) et mesure la vitesse d'écoulement du gaz (35) déplacé par l'ébauche de formage (17) et sorti de la cavité (19). Le compteur (33) d'écoulement du gaz est continuellement surveillé lors du cycle de formage ou lorsqu'un signal de vitesse d'écoulement du gaz est renvoyé au régulateur de pression (23). La pression de déformation est régulée par le régulateur de pression (23) de manière à ce que la vitesse d'écoulement du gaz échappé de la cavité (19) s'approche par approximation à la vitesse d'écoulement moyenne déterminée du gaz.

Title: Initial track recovery in position-sensing systems that use windowing patterns.
Inventor: BURNS JOHN BELLEVUE CRESCENT
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1992-09-30
Abstract: To determine the track of an element (16) in terms of the components of its displacement parallel to a predetermined axis, the element (16) is arranged to be movable relative to a pattern (20) having pattern features which considered in directions parallel to said predetermined axis form a series exhibiting a windowing property. By sensing the pattern features traversed by the element (16) and comparing window-length portions (69) of this succession of features with a stored representation (66) of the overall series of features, it is possible eventually to detect an initial location of the element along this series. Further movement of the element can then be tracked incrementally; however, there will generally be a substantial initial track portion preceding the first location fix. By keeping a record (70) of the pattern features sensed during this initial track, it is possible to carry out a backtracking process to seek to recover this initial track, this process involving working backwards away from the first location fix and using, for example, an incremental tracking technique with provision for reversal recovery.
