Abstract: Drying apparatus comprising a cylindrical drying vessel (4) the inner wall surface (2) of which constitutes a heat-transmitting surface, a heat-generating means (6) encircling the said vessel, and at least one rotary vane assembly (5) rotatably mounted in the vessel. The vane assembly has vane sections (5a) which leave between their circumferential edges and the said heat-transmitting surface an annular space (U) small enough to allow wet material to extend across it and contact the heat-transmitting surface without falling into said space. Each vane section extends obliquely upward in the direction opposite to the rotating direction, and the circumferential edge of each vane section extends through less than 360 degrees as viewed from above. All of the vane sections when rotating bear material on their upper surfaces to raise the material and enable it to be urged against the heat-transmitting surface under the influence of centrifugal force, thus causing it to continuously climb along the heat-transmitting surface for drying. <MATH>

Abstract: A device for deploying radially self-expanded stents and other radially expandable stents includes an inner catheter, an outer catheter surrounding the inner catheter, and a tubular stent retaining sheath formed of a rolling membrane. The sheath is doubled over upon itself to provide an inner sheath layer attached to the inner catheter, and an outer sheath layer attached to the outer catheter. The sheath layers extend along and surround a radially self-expanding stent, to maintain the stent distally of the inner catheter and in a radially compressed, axially elongated state. Distally of the stent, the inner and outer sheath layers converge and are narrowed in the distal direction to define a tapered distal tip. To release the stent, the outer catheter is moved proximally to roll the membrane away from its surrounding relation to the stent, whereupon the stent radially self-expands progressively, beginning at its distal end. When completely retracted after stent release, the sheath surrounds a distal region of the inner catheter, and can provide a protective layer between arterial tissue and a dilatation balloon supported along the distal region. As an alternative, a stent formed of a recovery metal can be plastically deformed into a reduced radius state for delivery, which facilitates use of a more flexible stent retaining sheath. A further alternative involves securing the sheath proximally of the dilatation balloon, so that sheath retraction leaves the dilatation balloon exposed, rather than covered by the sheath.

Abstract: The detecting method described is conceived for use in a bar code decoding system based on digital processing of signals. It functions to process in real time a signal from an A/D converter and determine the portions of this signal which contain a likely bar code and rejecting the portions that surely do not contain a code. Only the former are signaled to a subsequent decoding process. The method steps are essentially the following:   A) determining local maxima and minima of the digitalized analog signal;   B) determining valid transitions; C) calculating the size of constant brightness zones located between two successive valid transitions;   D) determining likely codes;   E) if appropriate, re-positioning the code starting zone; F) if appropriate, analyzing detected potential codes for congruence, and signaling the likely codes.   <IMAGE>
