Patent EP-1021955-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VIJVERBERG HENRICUS ANDREAS TH
IPC: A21B3/18
Filed: 2000-01-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removing
loaves of bread from baking tins, comprising engaging
means mounted on a frame for engaging the loaves, wherein
the frame is adapted to move at least vertically with the
engaging means to remove the loaves from the baking tins,
wherein the engaging means comprise pins movable into the
loaf of bread. 
     The use of pins movable into the loaves avoids
the drawbacks of suction cups. It is herein possible in
the first instance for the pins to move in purely
vertical direction into the loaf. The force of attachment
between the pin and the bread mass will herein have to be
sufficiently strong to enable removal of the loaf from
the baking tin. 
     It is much more attractive however if the pins
can be moved into the loaves in a direction with a
horizontal component. This has the advantage that the
transfer of the lifting forces between the pins and the
loaf depends not only on the attachment between pin and
loaf but also on the fact that the pins lift the loaf.

Abstract: A method of visualizing the choriocapillaries of the eye in a sequence of ICG angiographic images comprising subtracting each image
in the angiographic sequence from a succeeding image. In practice, a modified fundus camera (10) is used to provide digitized images
which are subtracted pixel by pixel. To better visualize aberrant vascular structures such as choroidal neovascularization (CNV), a fundus
camera is modified with a polarizing filter in front of the light source and an analizing polarizer in front of the video
camera. This results in the suppression of unwanted scattered fluorescence to the exent that the CNV can be better visualized. To assist
the surgeon in treating aberrant vascular structures with laser photocoagulation therapy, a fundus camera is provided with two light
sources and two barrier filters operating synchronously to produce and pass two different fluorescences thereby generating
precisely superimposabie angiographs to aid in aiming the laser.

IPC: G11B7/09
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: Procedure using an optical receiver comprising four photo-detectors for four elementary signals. The signals are split into two secondary pairs of signals sampled and filtered by two low pass filters with a cut-off frequency equal to a quarter of the sampling frequency. The phase difference between the two signals is proportional to the positioning error of the laser beam. Determination of the phase difference involves selection of at least two samples (ECHM, ECHm) above or below a threshold amplitude plus or minus TH about a given level (SE). Hence two transitions (ECH12) of the secondary signals with respect to a threshold corresponding to crossing in the same direction of the threshold can be marked. The time scale between the two transitions can be found which then relates to the distance the laser light beam is from its correct path.

Abstract: An articulating motor stator assembly for use in a pump incorporates features that permit recycling of the motor stator when disposing of other parts of the pump. Such a stator assembly facilitates convenient manufacture, testing, and installation of the pump. For convenient installation, the motor stator assembly can incorporate a multi-part, annular housing that defines a central conduit to receive a motor rotor assembly. The multi-part housing of the motor stator assembly may be selectively repositioned between an open and closed configuration. In its open configuration a motor rotor assembly may be conveniently installed in the motor stator and when closed the motor stator will actuate the motor rotor assembly in order to operate a pump. The assembly thereby enables separate manufacture and shipment from a remote location. In addition, the assembly can be separately tested prior to installation. After pump use, the motor stator can be opened so as to remove the motor rotor assembly. The same motor stator assembly can then receive a new motor rotor assembly.

Abstract: There is described an actuator comprising an outer tube and an inner tube. In the actuator there is provided a spindle co-operating with a bushing for creating the displacement of the actuator by means of a motor. In order to establish an end stop in a secure way for preventing a wedging of the spindle and the bushing in extreme positions for the actuator, the bushing is disposed rotatable in relation to both tubes as it is arranged rotatable in a bushing housing. The actuator is arranged so that friction between the bushing and the bushing housing is greater that the friction occurring between the spindle and the bushing. Hereby rotation of the spindle will displace the bushing along the spindle until it reaches an extreme position. By an extreme position a pin on the bushing will hit a pin mounted in the spindle. At contact between the two pins the friction between the bushing and the housing is overcome, whereby the bushing will perform a continuous rotation together with the spindle without any risk of its wedging against and end face in the tubes.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un signal radiofréquence (Fig. 2, 205) est échantillonné et l'échantillon est envoyé à un détecteur vidéo (220). L'enveloppe d'amplitude détectée est envoyée à un circuit de poursuite (280) d'enveloppe, un comparateur (230) et un circuit (240) de poursuite de l'enveloppe et de polarisation de la grille. Le comparateur (230) sélectionne une des tensions d'alimentation disponibles (340), en fonction de la valeur instantanée de l'enveloppe d'amplitude, au moyen de commandes de commutateur (270). Le circuit de poursuite (280) d'enveloppe règle alors la tension d'alimentation sélectionnée parmi les tensions disponibles (340), la tension de sortie résultante (284) étant fournie aux drains des amplificateurs de puissance (390), ce qui permet un fonctionnement proche de la saturation. Lorsque la valeur instantanée de l'enveloppe d'amplitude augmente, le comparateur (230) sélectionne des tensions d'alimentation plus élevées (340), ce qui augmente la tension acheminée vers les amplificateurs (390), augmentant par là leur puissance de sortie. Afin de maintenir des performances de gain constantes, le circuit (240) de poursuite de l'enveloppe et de polarisation de la grille modifie la polarisation de la grille à l'opposé des changements de la tension de drain.
