Title: Beverage infusion device and apparatus
IPC: A47J31/20
Filed: 1990-01-08
Granted: 1993-08-04
Abstract: A beverage infusion device (10) for preparing an individual cup of an infusible beverage such as coffee and tea. The device includes one or more porous pouches (12) containing infusible material permanently or removably secured to a rotatable, hand held shaft (11), with the pouches extending radially outwardly from the shaft and dimensioned to fit within a conventional beverage cup or mug. In use, the device inserted in a cup of hot water and the shaft is rotated between the thumb and finger of the user in alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. Upon rotation of the shaft and the pouches secured to the shaft, a centrifugal flow pattern is created in water which enhances the efficiency of extraction of the infusible material. When the pouches are permanently secured to the shaft, the entire device is discarded after use. When the pouches are removably secured to the shaft, the pouches are separated from the shaft after use and discarded, with the shaft portion of the device being reusable.

Granted: 1994-07-20
Abstract: A flashback vent plug (22) is provided for catheters (16) with air vents (28) drilled by a laser beam which allow venting of the hollow plug (22) upon venous entry, but which vents (28) are so small that blood cannot pass. As a result, no leakage ever takes place. As a further feature of the invention, is the addition of a component to the resin making up the vent plug body (24) which optimizes absorption of the laser beam wave length. The air vent design of this invention provides sufficient cross-section for achieving the required air flow, and therefore rapid flashback and venous entry indication, yet its cost of manufacture is considerably reduced when compared to plug designs that involve multi-step assembly.

Granted: 1996-11-20
Abstract: This invention relates to methods of establishing facsimile (fax) connections. If a call is originated from a fax source and the destination is a voice station, then the call will be automatically redirected to a fax machine designated to receive fax messages for the voice station. A fax call is detected by a class of service indication in a local switching office, or by having a number forwarded to a toll office from a local office by Automatic Number Identification (ANI) of the caller that is one of a list of fax numbers. When it is determined that a call is a fax call, a fax indicator is sent with Common Channel Signaling (CCS) messages for that call. If a call with a fax indicator is received in a destination switching office, then the destination office checks to see if the called number is a fax number; if not, translation is made to find the number of a fax station for serving fax calls to the called number, and the call is completed to that fax station. Advantageously, customers need not know a fax number to transmit a fax message to an intended recipient. Three types of problems arise in treating such calls, recognition that the call is a fax call, transmitting that recognition to a far end switch, and redirecting the call at the fax end switch. Among the other techniques used for recognition are a fax class mark in an originating message from an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line or a dialed prefix such as #, #3, or an alternative common carrier code (10XXX) from an ordinary line. The redirection includes automatic redirection to a store and forward system on busy or no answer, routing to one of a plurality of alternative destinations based on the day and time, screening junk fax, and lighting a fax message waiting lamp on the called (voice) destination. For international calls, a translation from voice to fax may be made at an egress gateway switch; the fax calls may also be automatically routed over low distortion international transmission facilites.

Abstract: The invention is a method of controlling the final viscosity of a starch glue at a constant starch content and an apparatus for carrying out the method. The invention concerns a process for preparing a starch glue in which part or all of the starch in the glue is partially swollen to a predetermined "critical" swelling viscosity when the swelling process is terminated and the "final" viscosity is only reached after a subsequent period of agitation. The method of the invention reduces the critical swelling viscosity during the process as the elapsed reaction time increases thereby ensuring a constant final viscosity at a constant starch content of the glue.

Abstract: Dans un réseau de traitement de signaux comprenant une matrice de correction de couleurs (74) et une compensation gamma (76), on procède au traitement des détails à l'aide d'un circuit d'extraction de détails (77) produisant un signal de détail à partir d'un signal de vert non matricé, ainsi que d'un circuit d'amélioration de détail (78) additionnant le signal de détail aux signaux matricés de rouge, de vert et de bleu à correction gamma. Le signal de vert non matricé est transformé en un signal de vert à correction gamma et est entré séparément dans des filtres passe-haut verticaux (86) et horizontaux (84), séparant les composantes de détail représentatives de détails verticaux et horizontaux respectivement. Le détail vertical est entré de manière additionnelle dans un filtre passe-bas (88) horizontal afin d'éliminer l'amélioration excessive de composantes diagonales d'image. Les composantes de détail sont traitées en mémoire ROM (92), puis entrées dans le circuit d'amélioration de détail (78). Une fois que l'on a procédé au contournement de la matrice de correction de couleur (74) et à l'insertion du détail modifié, y compris la contribution diagonale diminuée, dans le canal de signaux après la correction gamma, les diverses composantes de détails reçoivent une amélioration visuelle sensiblement uniforme, indépendamment de l'orientation ou de la densité de l'image.

Abstract: This invention relates to a catheter-cum-balloon characterized in that the balloon is reinforced with composite yarns composed of elastic yarns and non-elastic ones which are each larger than the elastic one in free length. In the catheter-cum-balloon of the present invention, expandability of the balloon is high and thus, when inserted into or pulled out from the blood vessel for the purpose of therapy, the balloon is capable of not only decreasing in diameter without development of creases but also positively expanding to the same size and the same shape at any time. Accordingly, provided are such advantages that: reliability in therapy is increased; an opening incised for therapy, even if small, satisfies the purpose; treatment and care after operation are simple, requiring only a few length of time until cure; and the burden inflicted on the patient and nurse daily is light.
