Abstract: An appliance used in orthodontic treatment includes a retaining groove that is located directly adjacent a base of the appliance. The retaining groove is useful for keeping a wire segment or other item in place and in contact with a body of the appliance so that the item does not detach from the appliance during the course of treatment. The retaining groove is particularly useful for keeping tieback loops and other items having a thread-like configuration in a captive, compact and snug relationship with the appliance.

Abstract: A flow control unit having a housing with a valve chamber. The valve chamber has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the valve chamber is placed in communication with the process circuit. A valve member is carried within the valve chamber. The valve member has an open position for allowing flow from the inlet of the valve chamber to the outlet of the valve chamber, and a closed position for preventing flow through the valve chamber. A pressure cell is disposed adjacent the outlet of the valve chamber. A closed pressure circuit is defined from the valve inlet, the valve chamber, and the valve outlet. A pressure sensor is disposed in the pressure cell and traverses the circuit at the outlet for measuring the pressure of the process circuit communicated through the closed pressure circuit when the valve member is in the open position.

The evaporation stage can be operated entirely using solvent vapors. Part of the solvent vapors separated from the other evaporated fraction is partially recycled. At least one of the fractions is preheated before evaporation.  Chromatographic separation process for producing at least two fractions involves at least partially evaporating the solvents of the produced fractions and separating the solvent vapors thus produced. Two fractions, extract and refined, are evaporated. The evaporation stage can be operated entirely using solvent vapors separated from one of the other evaporated fractions. Part of the solvent vapors separated from the other evaporated fraction is partially recycled, after evaporation of the considered fraction, to upstream of the evaporation stage of the other fraction. At least one of the fractions is preheated before evaporation with the solvent vapors separated from one of the evaporated fractions. The solvent is recycled. The chromatographic separation is type SMB or VARICOL.  An Independent claim is included for a chromatographic device comprising a central separation unit on a chromatographic bed; at least two fraction lines (1A, 1B); at least two evaporators (2A, 2B) connected to the fraction lines; heating fluid lines (3A, 3B) connected to the evaporators respectively; extraction lines (5A, 5B) downstream of the evaporators to receive the at least partially evaporated fractions as a liquid+vapor mixture, and separators (6A, 6B) connected to the extraction lines to receive the solvent in a line (7A, 7B).

Abstract: A pressure regulating valve reduces the increased internal pressure in an aerosol spray can, filled with compressed gas, to a working pressure level for a spray valve (12). A regulating piston (52) is kept in equilibrium by a restoring force, and a sealing point (66, 68) is provided, which is closed at a pressure in the pressure regulation chamber (84) that is above the regulated pressure level. To prevent the precision of regulation from being adulterated by the decreasing internal pressure of the can as its contents are progressively withdrawn, a sealing means (86, 66; 67) is proposed, which seals off one free end of the piston (52, 74) from the internal pressure of the can and the regulated pressure. The variable internal pressure of the can is therefore no longer able to act on any axial face of the piston (52), and despite what may be a smaller piston face area, the precision of regulation is improved.
