Title: Pump impeller having separate offset inlet vanes
Inventor: PATON ALAN
IPC: F04D29/24
Filed: 1996-12-23
Granted: 1999-10-28
Abstract: A fluid impeller for a centrifugal pump includes a hub having a substantially disk-like form with a center and an edge, circular symmetry, and provision for being rotatably driven. A first plurality of pumping vanes projects substantially perpendicularly from a first surface of the hub and extends radially outwardly from a locus near the center of the hub to another locus near the edge of the hub. These vanes provide a high pressure head with a small impeller diameter. A second plurality of separate and twisted inlet vanes also projects substantially perpendicularly from the first surface of the hub and extends radially outwardly to the locus near the center of the hub from another locus nearer the center of the hub. The separate second plurality of vanes, by turning and pre-pressurizing the fluid, provides an impeller having capability of cavitation-free pumping at low net positive suction head (NPSH). A front shroud can be used which partially or totally covers the first and/or second plurality of vanes.

Title: Methods and compositions for reconstruction of multilayered tissue structures
Inventor: ATALA ANTHONY
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-12-14
Granted: 2004-11-25
Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for producing multilayered artificial organs comprising heterogenous polylayers. Polylayers comprising homogenous cell populations are created on one side of a biocompatible substrate such that a chimeric interface is produced between the heterogenous polylayers. Cellular interaction at the chimeric interface produce an interstitial biomaterial with morphological and functional characteristics that resemble the natural in vivo organ. An artificial organ is produced by creating a first cultured polylayer of cells derived from an isolated population of smooth muscle cells on a substrate in the shape of an organ, and creating a second cultured polylayer of cells derived from a cell population different from the smooth muscle cell population.

Title: Multi-carrier method and device for implementing said method
Inventor: DOSERT KLAUS
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 1998-11-10
Granted: 2002-05-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-carrier method for digital data transfer, especially for electrical power distribution networks. According to the invention, N amounts of symbols are assigned to combinations of Id(N) data bits on the basis of the data flow to be transmitted in order to achieve quick and interference-free transfer. Each symbol consists of N signal forms with different frequencies. On the receiver side, a series of 2N digital signal-adapted parallel-working filters are used for simultaneous incoherent optimal reception of all N signal forms used to represent a symbol. A digital numerical value corresponding to the signal form energy is formed as correlation value for each of the N signal forms. An evaluation and scaling of N correlation values is carried out by comparison with a freely chosen threshold. The correlation values forming a symbol are added to obtain the corresponding symbolic value. The corresponding functional units can be advantageously integrated into an ASCI to implement the inventive method.

Title: An arrangement for ultrasonic sealing
Inventor: ANDERSSON PAR
IPC: B65B51/22
Filed: 1984-12-28
Granted: 1988-08-11
Abstract: Arrangements for ultrasonic sealing comprising a sealing jaw (17) which is combined with an ultrasonics source (15) and a counterjaw (8). During the sealing the parts which are to be sealed to each other are pressed together between working surfaces (18, 19) of the jaws with simultaneous activation of the ultrasonics source as a result of which the parts are welded together. In the sealing of thin material layers it is very difficult to obtain a uniform compression over the whole surface which means that the risk of burning asunder or unsatisfactory sealing increases. In accordance with the invention this is prevented with the help of supporting elements (20) which engage with two stop faces (25) located in the nodal plane of the sealing jaw (17) and on the one hand determine the minimum distance between the working surface, on the other hand orientate the flexibly suspended jaw so that the working surfaces are parallel.
