Title: Automatic system for personal hygiene following the carrying out of bodily functions
Inventor: FEDELE BRUNO
IPC: E03D9/08
Filed: 1997-06-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic system for personal hygiene following the carrying out of bodily functions, comprising substantially a sanitary bowl (2) connected to a hot-air generator  (3)  by means of a ventilation circuit (4), and a hot-water generator (5) connected in turn by means of a hydraulic circuit (6) to the water supply mains (7).  Said system also comprises a soap storage container (20) linked to the hydraulic circuit  (6),  and  a  control  device  (8)  designed  to activate, in accordance with programmed operating steps, operation of the system (1).   In particular,  it also envisages the use of an odour aspirator device  (29) connected to the sanitary bowl (2) by means of an air pipe (30, 31) and operated by said control device (8). Advantageously, a sensor (37) for detecting the presence of a person, communicating with the control device (8), is mounted on the seating rim (35) of the sanitary bowl (2).  The hydraulic circuit (6) is divided up by a flow distributor (11) into two subsidiary circuits (9, 10), a first one (9) being designed to perform frontal cleaning of a user of the system (1), and a second one (10) being designed to perform rear cleaning of the user.   Each subsidiary circuit  (9,  10)  is connected to the soap storage container (20) by means of a soap-conveying pipe (17) connected to a suction pump (18) and has inserted along it a first delivery pump (14) which is electrically governed by the control device (8).  The first subsidiary circuit (9) and the second subsidiary circuit (10) allow the water to be conveyed from the water supply mains (7), via a thermal heating element (16), to a front part (12) and to a rear part  (13)  of the sanitary bowl  (2), respectively.

Abstract: A device suited for dispensing a dental substance comprises a cartridge 20 for receiving the substance, with a curved dispensing nozzle 22 disposed at the front end and a flange 21 of octagonal cross-section provided at the rear end of the cartridge. The flange 21 serves to engage a slide-in socket 16 of an applicator 10 which includes a piston rod 12 for advancing a dispensing piston 23 disposed in the cartridge 20. In the retracted position of the piston rod 12, the cartridge 20 may be laterally inserted into the slide-in socket 16 of the applicator 10. The socket has two parallel walls spaced by a distance which is between the largest and the smallest diameter of the octagonal flange 21. The material of the flange 21 and/or the material forming the slide-in socket 16 is resilient so that the cartridge 20 may be stepwise rotated about the axis of the piston rod 12 with respect to the applicator 10 without requiring the piston rod 12 to be withdrawn and the cartridge 20 to be removed from the slide-in socket and re-inserted in a new orientation.

Title: Polymerization of vinyl chloride
Inventor: OZAWA MASAAKI
IPC: C08G12/26
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: This invention provides a process for polymerizing a vinyl chloride monomer wherein the vinyl chloride monomer is subject to homopolymerization or (co)polymerization with a monomer copolymerizable with the vinyl chloride monomer in an aqueous solvent, comprising applying in advance a coating liquid containing a cocondensation product obtained by reacting either a phenothiazine derivative and an aldehyde or a phenothiazine derivative, a naphthol derivative and an aldehyde to give an initial condensation product and then reacting the initial product with a polyphenol, to an inner wall of a polymerization tank and parts of an apparatus in contact with the monomers during the polymerization process.  The process of this invention makes it possible to apply the cocondensation product as an aqueous solution to, e.g., an inner wall of a polymerization tank; to quite effectively prevent polymer adhesion in, e.g., a polymerization tank, without affecting a polymerization rate or physical properties of the product; and thus to eliminate the need for removing adhered polymer after every polymerization process and to realize closed polymerization in which a manhole should not be opened for every polymerization process.

Title: Procede permettant de determiner automatiquement l'acuite auditive, en particulier chez les nouveaux-nes et les enfants en bas age
Inventor: CEBULLA MARIO
IPC: A61B5/12
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne le domaine de la détermination objective, c'est-à-dire indépendante de la collaboration du patient, de l'acuité auditive, au moyen des potentiels acoustiquement évoqués (PAE). Les deux domaines d'application du procédé sont la détermination du seuil d'audition et l'audiométrie de dépistage. Selon l'invention, on procède à des examens uniquement dans le domaine spectral ou dans les domaines spectral et temporel. Etant donné que le rapport signal-bruit pendant les passages individuels à proximité du seuil d'audition est extrêmement défavorable dans le cas des potentiels précoces acoustiquement évoqués, l'examen statistique ne se fonde pas sur les passages individuels, mais la moyenne d'un nombre suffisant de passages (de préférence 100) est déterminée au préalable pour donner des potentiels moyens partiels (PMP). Les spectres sont calculés sur la base de ces potentiels moyens partiels. Ce procédé d'examen statistique se fonde sur le test de notation de points uniformes dans q échantillons, test peu connu et jamais utilisé auparavant dans le contexte du dépistage automatique des potentiels acoustiquement évoqués. Ce test, dans la forme qu'il prend dans les documents connus, n'est utile que pour tester le spectre des phases. L'information contenue dans le spectre d'amplitudes reste inutilisée. L'invention propose donc de modifier le test de sorte que les informations sur l'amplitude soient également prises en considération. La sensibilité de ce test lors du dépistage de potentiels précoces acoustiquement évoqués à proximité du seuil d'audition, qui est déjà très bonne, est encore sensiblement améliorée grâce à cette modification.
