Patent ZA-916337-B (ZA)
Title: Reduction or elimination of film defects due to hydrogen evolution during cathodic electrodeposition
Inventor: WINKLE MARK ROBERT
IPC: C25D13/06
Filed: 1991-08-12
Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for eliminating or reducing pinhole defects in cataphoretically deposited films without interfering with the electrolysis of water needed for electrodeposition. The method comprises decreasing the evolution of hydrogen gas at the cathode by adding, to the electrodepositable composition, a compound which is reduced by the hydrogen produced at the cathode during the electrodeposition. The hydrogen reacts with this non-gaseous compound rather than becoming hydrogen gas and forming bubbles which lead to pinhole defects.

Title: Water soluble wound dressing materials
Inventor: HARDY CRAIG J
IPC: A61L26/00
Filed: 1994-02-25
Abstract: The invention provides water soluble wound dressing materials comprising from 5% to 50% of an alginate ester of a C1-C6 polyhydric alcohol; from 50% to 95% of a humectant consisting of one or more C1-C6 monohydric or polyhydric alcohols; and from 0% to 30% of water, the percentages being calculated by weight based on the weight of the material when anhydrous. The preferred alginate ester is propylene glycol alginate (PGA). The materials dissolve in water at temperatures below 40 DEG C. The materials are normally produced in the form of soft, conformable, wound-friendly films. The materials may also comprise medicaments or antiseptics.

Title: Dispensing apparatus
Inventor: HARRISON RICHARD IAEN
IPC: A61M11/02
Filed: 2000-10-12
Granted: 2003-01-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable dispensing apparatus for delivering a powdered product nasally or orally. The apparatus comprises a housing (1) defining an outlet (7) and a shaft (32) having a storage chamber (33) therein for a product provided with a first inlet (34) and a first outlet (35). A sheathing means (4) is slidably mounted on the shaft and has a second inlet (42) and a second outlet closed by a frangible membrane (44). There is also provided a variable volume means (2) operatively connected to the shaft. The shaft is movable, on operation of the variable volume means to reduce the variable volume so as to pressurize gas in an interior of the variable volume means, from an initial storage position in which the first and second inlets are out of alignment so as to close a gas flow path, to a dispensing position in which the first and second inlets are brought into alignment by action of the housing against the sheathing means. At the same time, the frangible membrane is ruptured by the shaft so as to open the gas flow path, such that pressurized gas from the interior of the variable volume means is discharged along the gas flow path comprising the first and second inlets, storage chamber, second outlet and first outlet, to thereby entrain powdered product and dispense it through the housing outlet.

Title: Electronic timepiece with analogue display
Inventor: MAIRE ROBERT
IPC: G04F8/00
Filed: 1985-03-25
Granted: 1987-06-03
Abstract: A chronograph watch comprises a first motor controlled by a quartz resonator coupled to a first simple integrated circuit. This motor drives, through gearing, the time indicating members of the watch. A second motor controlled by a second quartz resonator coupled to a second simple integrated circuit, identical to said first integrated circuit, can be operated at a higher frequency when a switch, which is operable manually by means of a pushbutton and interposed between electrical ground and a terminal of the second integrated circuit, is open. The second motor drives, through further gearing, a chronograph hand coupled to a minute counter and to an hour counter. Thus the chronograph indicates fractions of seconds without the timepiece requiring expensive circuits or having an excessive electrical power consumption.

Granted: 2000-04-05
Abstract: A combined engine and transmission control unit for a motor vehicle uses the position of the accelerator pedal to calculate setpoint values for the engine and the transmission of the motor vehicle. The control unit has a drive-train controller, which, when the engine is not in traction mode, controls the driving mode of the motor vehicle. The driving mode is adapted to the surroundings of the motor vehicle and the driving style of the driver. The drive-train controller activates an engine torque control when brake slip is detected, and the transmission controller prescribes a lower gear than is provided for the unbraked mode of the motor vehicle by a characteristic diagram.
