Abstract: Blood bag system for separating whole blood into upper, middle, and lower components which can then be isolated from each other in an automated manner. The system comprises a primary or main blood bag (3) having first and second outlet ports. The first outlet port communicates via tubing with a first satellite bag (21). The second outlet port communicates via tubing with a second satellite bag (35) at one end and at the other end communicates with a tubular member (17) extending into and toward the bottom of the main bag (3). In use whole blood is drawn into the main bag (3) through an inlet port and centrifuged to form an upper, less dense plasma portion (9), a lower, more dense red blood cell (11) (RBC) portion and an intermediate portion of buffy coat (13) (including platelets). Pressure is then applied to the bag (3) with the first outlet open and the second outlet closed to express all of the upper plasma (4) through the first outlet port after which the first outlet port is closed and the second outlet is opened. The lower RBCs (11) are expressed by pressure through the tubular member and second outlet, leaving only the intermediate buffy coat (13) in the main bag (3). The system may be automated with sensors to monitor and control the flow of fluids through each outlet and from the main bag (3).

Abstract: 2. Known brake actuating devices are provided with adjusting devices, by means of which a brake air gap is to be maintained by re-adjustment despite wearing of brake elements. Defects in the area of the adjusting device can, however, lead to faulty brake behaviour. The new device is intended to facilitate continuous monitoring of the brake air gap and of the brake lining wear. 
<??>2.2 The movement of the brake mechanism is used to produce a first measurement travel (s). The movement of the adjusting device (5, 7) is used to produce a second measurement travel (n). An adjustment travel (q) formed by superimposing the measurement travels (s) and (n) can be sensed by a travel sensor (17) of a signal emitter (18). In an analysing device the signal corresponding to the adjustment travel (q) can be translated into signals corresponding to the measurement travels (s) and (n). 
<??>2.3 The device is suitable for the continuous monitoring of the brake air gap and of the brake lining wear on the vehicle or by means of a diagnostic centre connectable to the vehicle.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for magnetic resonance imaging a selected interrogation volume in a tissue of a human or animal body, to provide increased signal-to-noise ratios for fixed data acquisition times. The method involves excitation of magnetic resonance (11, 12, 13, 15, 17) in a selected interrogation volume that may be as small as 500-3,000 cm³, through controllable focusing or steering of a rotating magnetic field signal used to induce magnetic resonance. The response signals issued by the excited volume element are then collected (19, 21) by focusing of these response signals, using a phased array of antennas for this purpose. Use of the invention with well known nuclear magnetic resonance excitation procedures, such as spin echo, echo planar, gradient recalled and backprojection, are discussed.

Abstract: In order to control a controlled object (1), such as a vacuum cleaner or washing machine signals are derived from a single sensor (4 or 5), which measures a single property of the controlled object (1), and are the signals used by a characteristic amount sampling unit (8) to derive a plurality of control characteristics. These are then processed by a neural network (15) to derive a basic control signal. The characteristics, or further characteristics derived from a further sensor (4) and a local condition detector are analysed by a fuzzy logic system (16) and used to modify the basis control signal. In other arrangements, the fuzzy logic is applied (60A, 60B, 60C, 60D) to each characteristic before the characteristics are applied to the neural network (15). Because the calculation time needed by the neural network (15) is long, it is possible to detect (50) if one of the characteristics has a particular volume (is within a predetermined range). Then, a fixed pattern may be derived, modified only by the fuzzy logic (16).

Abstract: A high speed clock circuit is disclosed that solves clock skew problems in a data processing system by employing a separate driver for each clock output, by containing the clock circuit on an integrated circuit chip, by matching clock signal trace lengths internal to the clock chip, and by matching circuit board clock signal trace lengths. The clock circuit receives a source clock input signal and generates multiple clock outputs at one half the frequency of the source clock and multiple clock outputs at one fourth the frequency of the source clock. A clock distribution circuit receives a bus clock signal and uses double drivers to transmit the bus clock signal to a common point on the integrated circuit die. There is a separate output driver for each clock output. From the common point on the die, equal length traces are routed to each output driver. Each output driver provides the signal strength necessary to transmit a clock output signal off the chip through an output pin to final destination. Trace lengths from the output pins of the clock chip to the final destinations of the clock signals should be matched to reduce skew caused by variations in the length, and capacitance of circuit board traces.

Abstract: In the field of tilt switches and shock sensors, it is known to provide a switch comprising a sealed chamber containing two switch terminals and a pool of mercury. On moving of the switch as a result of tilting or the application of an impulse, the mercury moves to close or open a circuit as desired. Such devices have disadvantages arising from the toxity of mercury. 
     The disclosure relates to a switch assembly in which a magnet (26) is mounted for movement in the vicinity of a reed switch (20). A weight (29) is moveable in a direction generally perpendicular to the magnet (26), and is connected thereto by a mechanism (16;38,39,40;44) which translates the movement of the weight to movement of the magnet. The magnet (26) and reed switch (20) are configured so that the reed switch actuates on movement of the magnet. 
     The advantage of the invention is that tilt switches and shock sensors can be constructed without the need for mercury.

Abstract: An inhaler for delivering metered doses of a particulate drug. The inhaler is formed of a housing, a drug reservoir attached to the housing to contain multiple doses of the particulate drug, a drug transporting slide in the housing that contains a metering chamber of volume corresponding to a desired dose of the drug, and a vacuum pump that creates a partial vacuum in the metering chamber. The drug transporting slide is movable from a load position, in which it communicates with the drug reservoir to receive in its metering chamber drug from the drug reservoir, to a release position in which it communicates with an air outlet passage to release drug from the metering chamber into the air outlet passage. The drug reservoir has an air permeable portion that permits air flow into the drug reservoir but prevents drug escape. In use, the vacuum pump draws a dose of drug into the metering chamber. The drug transporting slide then moves to deposit the drug in the outlet passage for inhalation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an intraluminal manipulator which extends into a lumen and is operable to position and manipulate the tissue surrounding the lumen as necessary during a medical procedure. The manipulator includes a head, a handle and an interconnecting shaft. A pair of cables extend through the shaft and interconnect the head and handle. Movement of a trigger provided by the handle moves the head, which is formed by a series of articulated links, between generally straight and arched configurations. Movement of the trigger in one direction moves the head from a straightened to an arched configuration, while movement in an opposite direction moves the head from the arched to the straightened configuration. When placed in the straight configuration, the head is insertable into and removable from the lumen. When the head is in the arched configuration, it engages the walls surrounding and defining the lumen and can thereafter be used to manipulate the tissue. A fiber optic bundle is provided to allow remote visualization of the lumen, and an expandable balloon is used to provide a better frictional engagement between the head and the tissue defining the lumen.
