Abstract: There is a clear distinction between hand driven, simple wheel chairs and much higher developed motor driven wheel chairs. The invention provides for a compromise, where a wheel chair of a simple design is or can be provided with a special driving unit (30), which as a self-contained unit, may serve to drive the wheel chair by having one or more driving wheels (32) located between the main wheels (26) of the chair in direct driving engagement with the ground. The driving unit can be secured in such a manner that the driving wheel or wheels (32) may move up and down relative to the main wheels (26), such that a driving engagement can be maintained during driving along a non-planar ground surface. The unit is well suited for mounting on both new and existing wheel chairs. When the driving wheel or wheels (32) are placed accurately midways between the ground engaging portions of the main wheels there will be no problems with respect to lateral dragging of the driving wheels in response to changes of the driving direction.

Abstract: The connection device (20) for adjustable connection of a first with a second structural element (12, 13), particularly tubes or rods, for a setting device has an external component (21) with a cylindrical hole and two internal components (22) inserted into the hole so that they can be slid axially and rotatably, each of which said internal components (22) has through openings (24, 25) crossways to the axial direction of the components to hold a structural element (12, 13). By means of loading means (23, 29), designed as a nut/screw connection, the internal component (2) is pushed axially to the external component (21) and thereby grips the inserted structural elements (12, 13). A recess (26) in the internal component (22) effectuates a flexible radial deformation of the internal against the external component (22, 21), said deformation being created through the inserted structural element (12, 13), and an additional bonding of the connection device (20) is thereby achieved, which considerably improves the setting.

Abstract: A pilot finger (36) is mounted on a shifting trolley (28) having reversible drive (30), which pilot finger, at the beginning of each forward travel, can be pivoted behind the front filter plate (2) which has not yet been shifted, in order to carry the latter along. A pilot control member (70) can latch onto the pilot finger (36) in order to hold this in an idle position in which the shifting trolley (28) can be moved forwards past the filter plates (2) without carrying the latter along. Likewise mounted on the shifting trolley (28) is a follow-up finger (56) which, at the beginning of a forwards travel, can be pivoted behind the filter plate (2) second from the front which has not yet been shifted, in order to carry the latter along. This pivoting is actuated by a follow-up control member (80), which in a final phase of the pivoting of the pilot finger (36) behind the front filter plate (2) which has not yet been shifted, exerts a torque in the pivoting direction on the follow-up finger (56) arranged behind this. The pilot control member (70) is pretensioned so that in the unlatched state it exerts a torque on the pilot finger (36), which completes its pivoting behind the front filter plate (2) independently of its resistance to motion. This ensures that the follow-up finger (56) is also reliably pivoted via the follow-up control member (80). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electronically controlled syringe system for connection to a balloon catheter or other balloon-type member and for automatically monitoring, displaying and recording inflation data when the syringe system is used to inflate the balloon of the catheter or other balloon-type member. A syringe having a barrel and a syringe plunger is selectively operable to increase fluid pressure applied to the balloon catheter or other balloon member by sliding the plunger further into the barrel. Positive pressure applied to the balloon catheter or member is released by withdrawing the syringe plunger toward the rear of the barrel. A piezoresistive semiconductor transducer housed on the barrel of the syringe senses fluid pressure applied by the syringe. The electric signal output by the transducer is input to a controller where the signal is digitally processed so as to derive and record therefrom electronic data representing the magnitude of applied fluid pressure, and so as also to derive the length of time that fluid pressure is applied. The electronic data representing this information is automatically displayed and recorded. In one embodiment, the controller is also mounted onto the syringe barrel to provide a digitally controlled inflation syringe system that is completely self-contained, and disposable.

Abstract: A gel tray for holding a medicament to be applied to the teeth and gums of a patient includes a handle and an opposing buckle. In one embodiment, the buckle includes a tongue portion and a retainer strip surrounding the tongue portion so as to define a narrow space between the tongue portion and the retainer strip, the narrow strip having a width less than the thickness of the handle. The handle has a tongue reception groove extending transverse to its length at a position such that the tongue reception groove is engaged by the tongue when the tray is folded. In another embodiment, slotted tabs are interfitted when the tray is folded. The tray may therefore be securely maintained in the folded state. The tray can be combined with or preloaded with a treatment agent such as a gel comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one agent for treating teeth or gums dispersed in a gel medium consisting essentially of water and an amount of a water dispersible gelling agent sufficient to form a gel. Preferably, the treatment gel comprises an agent such as from 0.05 to 5 wt. % of a soluble fluoride, either in an acidic gel or a neutral. Acidic gels can contain pharmaceutically acceptable, treatment effective amounts of phosphoric acid and hydrofluoric acid, for example. Neutral gels can have pH modifying agents such as sodium hydroxide.

Abstract: Method for compensating a magnetic interference field in a vehicle which has a navigation instrument. A first set of interference-field parameters (interference-field vector V1, axes a,b of the elliptical position curve E1, oblique position angle  delta ) is determined during a calibration journey for initial compensation from the values measured by the magnetic field probe, and these parameters are transformed into points on a circular position curve (K1) of radius a around the coordinate origin (0). During the journey, the distance from the origin (0) and the angle are calculated for each pair of measured values (MP with respective X and Y values). The calculated radius values and the circle-transformed measured-value pairs (MP) are centred in their associated memory cell in a segment memory for 360 DEG  having a multiplicity of memory cells (predetermined angle range, for example 15 DEG ). For each segment the radius difference ( DELTA a) between the averaged radius values and the radius (a) is determined and filtered; from this the maximum value (MAX) is calculated with regard to direction and amplitude and the new centre point (M2) of the position curve (K2) and thereby the new interference-field vector (V2 = V1 + V2') are calculated. The distances to the measured-value points (MP) from M2 are calculated and compared with the radius, and in the case of sufficiently accurate agreement, compensation is carried out using the new interference-field vector (V2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Provided is a process for making a paper based product which comprises first preparing a slurry of a cellulosic pulp; a particulate binder substantially insoluble in water, and an emulsion comprised of lecithin and a fatty acid or derivative thereof. This slurry is then drained of liquid to form a web, with the web being dried to provide the paper based product. The preferred polymeric binder is a hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol powder, which binder can be present in the final dried product in amounts of up to about 20 weight percent or more. The use of the emulsion comprised of lecithin and a fatty acid or derivative thereof permits a web containing such a high amount of sticky polymeric binder to be dried at high temperatures, without the web sticking to the drying cans generally used in commercial processes. The process of the present invention thereby permits one to efficiently prepare such a paper based product using conventional, commercial papermaking machinery.

The whey and retentate are brought to circulate in a circulation path on one side of the membrane area of the microfilter, while whey which has passed through the membrane area (permeate) is circulating in a second path on the other side of the membrane area in such a way that the pressure drop through the whole membrane area is kept constant and below 0.8 bar. With this technique, there is obtained a fractionation of milk serum protein such that denatured milk serum protein and fat are retained in the retentate and undenatured milk serum protein passes through the membrane into the permeate. With a subsequent treatment there is obtained a whey protein product which is rich is  alpha -lactalbumin and  beta -lactoglobulin and has a low fat content.
