Title: Endovascular delivery system
Inventor: DEHDASHTIAN MARK
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1997-08-27
Granted: 2004-07-13
Abstract: A system for delivering and implanting a radially expandable endoluminal prosthesis within a body lumen (e.g., blood vessel). The system comprises: a) an introducer/dilator assembly, and b)a delivery catheter/loader assembly. The introducer/dilator assembly comprises an elongate tubular introduces sheath which may be provided with a valuing assembly mounted on the proximal end thereof. A dilator, which as regionalized differences in stiffness, is initially deployable within the lumen of the introduces to facilitate advancement of the introduces to its desired location within the body. The delivery catheter/loader assembly may be attached to the introduces, such that the delivery catheter having the prosthesis mounted thereon may advanced through the introduces, to a desired location within the body. Thereafter, the radial expandable endoluminal prosthesis mounted on the delivery catheter is deployed and implanted by an expansion device (e.g., balloon) formed on the delivery catheter.

Abstract: A lens injector cartridge having an asymmetric bore. The asymmetric bore initiates the folding of the lens on one side only, thereby reducing the amount of energy imparted to the lens and the potential for damage to the lens. The gentle folding of the lens also assists in positioning the travel of the haptics down the bore, thereby reducing the potential for damage to the haptics.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for collecting liquid spillage at rail facilities including the plurality of center pans (10) and side pans (14) arranged in end to end relation. The pans (10, 14) are formed of a molded lightweight plastic material, preferably high density polyethylene. Each pan (10, 14) has a molded downward extending vertical drain pipe (54, 78) which fits within an elastomeric sleeve (60) about an upper drain opening (34) in a transverse drain conduit (28) positioned between a pair of crossties beneath the pans (10, 14). Each center pan (10) has a resilient upwardly inclined side flange or lip (44) which fits in sealing relation against adjacent rail (12) at the juncture of the head (16) and the vertical web (18) of the rail (12). For installation, the center pan (10) is preferably installed by first inserting one resilient side flange (44) beneath the head (16) of an adjacent rail (12) and then lowering the bottom (40) of the pan (10) onto the upper surface of the crossties (24) with drain pipe (54) received in sealing relation within the aligned elastomeric seal (60). Then, the opposed side flange (44) supported on the upper surface of the head (16) is forced or pushed downwardly beneath the head (16) where it snaps into sealing relation generally at the juncture of the vertical web (18) and the head (16) of the rail (12).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un couteau perfectionné de découpe de la longe destiné à un appareil d'extraction de la longe. Cet appareil comporte une scie à apophyses vertébrales associée à un décélérateur et à un détecteur de profondeur situés immédiatement avant le couteau de découpe de la longe et ce, afin de permettre la découpe entre les côtes rattachées à la partie centrale de la carcasse. Le couteau de découpe de la longe comporte une partie évidée positionnée et configurée de manière à s'étendre dans la partie arrière grasse de la longe et à extraire la longe ainsi que le gras situé à l'arrière de cette dernière et, dans le cas des carcasses de porcs, la peau, qui reste intacte. Cette partie évidée présente une zone sensiblement horizontale qui coupe pratiquement toute la longueur des parties maigres, y compris des parties du muscle serratus dorsalis. Afin de faciliter l'orientation d'une partie centrale de carcasse par rapport à la scie à apophyses vertébrales et au couteau de découpe de la longe, l'appareil est pourvu d'un palonnier qui vient au contact de l'échine et permet un alignement plus uniforme du milieu de la carcasse et du couteau de découpe de la longe par rapport à la position de l'échine. Une barre de guidage, en alignement sensible avec le palonnier, est également utilisée pour faciliter le centrage initial de la partie centrale de la carcasse au fur et à mesure que celle-ci est chargée dans l'appareil d'extraction de la longe. Un dispositif d'entraînement fonctionnant de manière latérale est utilisé pour forcer la zone échine de la partie centrale de la carcasse à venir au contact du palonnier, ce qui permet de redresser l'échine par rapport à ce dernier. Le dispositif d'entraînement fonctionne également de manière rotatoire afin de faciliter l'entraînement de la partie centrale de la carcasse vers le couteau de découpe de la longe. Une unité de commande logique programmable, ("PLC") est utilisée pour commander les divers fonctionnements de l'appareil d'extraction de la longe.

Title: Transparent printing blankets and methods of use
Inventor: NABET ROBERT
IPC: B41N10/04
Filed: 1998-06-17
Granted: 2006-02-07
Abstract: Substantially transparent printing blankets are provided comprising a substantially transparent printing layer (11) disposed upon a substantially transparent support layer (12). The substantial transparency of such printing blankets permits off press introduction of knock-out areas. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by disposing the support layer (12) of the printing blanket adjacent to a substrate which bears either an image to be printed or some other print transfer information (such as a negative) corresponding to the image. The print transfer information then is viewed through the printing blacket to identify portions of the underlying substrate which bear information indicating that the print should not appear on a corresponding portion of the coated substrate. After such portions are identified, the printing layer (11) is removed from the support layer (12) in those areas of the printing blanket which are adjacent to the identified portions of the substrate.

Abstract: Procédé et appareil permettant d'effectuer des réactions et des processus sonochimiques dans des milieux liquides de volume important. Selon ledit procédé, on fait passer un courant de liquide hydrodynamique à une certaine vitesse par un canal de circulation (101) contenant au moins un élément (107) destiné à produire un étranglement local du courant de liquide hydrodynamique. La vitesse du courant de liquide dans l'étranglement local est d'au moins 16 m/sec. Une cavité de cavitation (120) hydrodynamique est créée en aval de l'étranglement local, ce qui produit des bulles de cavitation. Ces bulles sont entraînées avec le courant de liquide vers un orifice de sortie du canal de circulation et la pression statique du liquide est portée à au moins 0,85 kg/cm<2>. Les bulles de cavitation sont ensuite écrasées dans la zone de pression statique accrue, ce qui provoque le démarrage des réactions et processus sonochimiques. Au moins un élément peut être soit un corps non profilé qui produit un étranglement local du courant de liquide hydrodynamique, soit un déflecteur (105) qui contient au moins un canal de transit, pour produire l'étranglement local dans le courant de liquide.
