Title: Device for locking the end positions of movable points parts
Inventor: ACHLEITNER HERBERT
IPC: B61L5/10
Filed: 1998-05-26
Abstract: A device for locking the end positions of movable railway switch parts in which two parts axially displaceable relative to each other are displaced into a position coupled to each other for movement in at least one direction. The relatively displaceable parts, formed by a tube and a rod guided within the tube, are arranged at least partially within a stationary external tube. Locking elements comprising balls cooperate with the axially displaceable parts and the external tube and are displaceable radially into a lock position within a recess of the external tube. The balls are surrounded by a ring resiliently held in a position having an outer diameter smaller than, or equal to, the outer diameter of the axially displaceable tube retained in a peripheral groove of the tube. The balls are arranged in openings in the tube between the rod and the ring.

Granted: 2002-07-24
Abstract: A branch connection suitable for use in a manhole, an access chamber, a gully or a pipe junction. A main channel (2) of the connection communicates with a branch channel (8). The branch channel (8) is declivitous and has a cross-sectional shape that varies along its length. This reduce turbulence, back-flow and ponding. In another aspect, the main channel (2) is declivitous and is provided with a gradient greater than a feed pipe, to counteract decelerating effects upon fluid flow resulting from differences in diameter between the feed pipe and the main channel (2). In another aspect, the main channel is provided with an accelerating weir in a region where the branch channel (8) joins the main channel (2). <IMAGE>

Title: Low power consumption electronic circuit
Inventor: YAMASHIRO OSAMU
IPC: G04G19/00
Filed: 1983-10-12
Granted: 1985-07-24
Abstract: According to the present invention, the voltage of a battery is supplied to an electronic circuit such as a watch circuit through a step down circuit which is constructed of capacitors and switching MIDFETs. The step down circuit performs a current converting operation as well as a voltage converting operation. The operating current of the electronic circuit is reduced by the reduction in the operating voltage of the same. As a result that the operating current level of the electronic circuit is dropped and that the current conversion is performed by the step down circuit, the battery current is relatively largely dropped. The construction thus far described elongates the lifetime of the battery. According to the present invention, therefore, there is provided a circuit which is proper for driving the step down circuit.

Patent GB-2243554-B (GB)
Title: Catheter retainer
Inventor: HOLLANDS KEITH G M
IPC: A61M25/02
Filed: 1990-05-02
Granted: 1994-06-01
Abstract: None of the catheter retainers presently commercially available are entirely satisfactory. Surgeons therefore still quite frequently stitch a catheter to the skin of the wearer. This is frequently done when it is desired to drain a wound and yet hold the wound largely closed. This procedure of course involves a risk of infection and may be painful for the patient. Prior art catheter retainers are unsatisfactory for a number of reasons. Firstly the retainer may be size dependent. In other words, for catheters of different diameter, a different catheter retainer device may be required. Another disadvantage is that known catheter retainers are often hard and rigid, and therefore uncomfortable to wear. Wearing them may promote lesions or maceration of the skin and so give rise to problems other than that for which the patient is in hospital. Another disadvantage of known catheter retainers is that they are hard to clean. Also, when used with catheters which are of a silicone rubber, a material commonly used for catheters, the catheter tubes are hard to lock in position relative to the retainer because of the slipperyness of the tube. As a result, patients can inadvertently pull catheters out. Yet another disadvantage of known catheter retainers is that the clamping pressure which most of them need to apply tends to collapse the catheter or the drainage tube. In consequence, the efficency of drainage is adversely affected. The invented catheter retainer has a pad (10) of medical grade adhesive capable of attachment to the body of a person who has to use a catheter (C1,C2). The pad (10) carries a member (40) to which is secured a cotton or synthetic fibre thread, or a thread of like material. In use the thread is wound around the catheter (C1,C2) and fastened off by being attached to the member (40). The member (40) is preferably slotted (46) for this purpose. <IMAGE>

Date Dec. 12, 1995This invention relates to a surgical intramedullary nail, for stabilization of condylar and supracondylar fractures of the femur. It incorporates a Cruciate arrangement of two obliquely crossing locking bolts such that each condyle of the femur is gripped by an individual bolt. By this means both femoral condyles are stabilized with respect to the shaft of the femur. The bolts are oriented so that each passes through the main extra-articular mass of each condyle. Further predrilled holes are provided for insertion of proximal locking bolts to stabilize the nail with respect to the shaft of the femur. The nail is intended for retrograde insertion from distal to proximal into the intramedullary canal of the femur. Insertion of the locking bolts may be facilitated by the use of a temporary jig which is attached securely to the distal end of the nail. Nails of similar design can be used for stabilization of equivalent fractures of the humerus.

Title: Method and means for determination of the speed of rail vehicles
Inventor: FEHRENBACH HERMANN
IPC: G01P3/66
Filed: 1996-09-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method including means for the execution thereof, which can be used to determine the speed of a rail vehicle very precisely from the distance travelled. The output signals (JV1, JV2) of two electromagnetic rail contacts arranged on a rail at a predetermined distance from each other are recorded in digital form, and their time interval is used to calculate the speed. To obtain precise triggering times for time measurement, signal patterns (RJ1, RJ2) reproducing a wheel passage are each optimally approximated by calculation using parabolas (P1, P2), and the co-ordinates of the vertexes of the parabolas are used as the triggering times (tS1, tS2). To check whether both successive signal patterns should be associated with wheel passages, the cross-correlation coefficient between the signal pattern and the approximate parabola can be calculated, and compared with a characteristic set value.
