Patent EP-0885475-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CAIRNS JAMES L
IPC: H01R13/523
Filed: 1997-02-21
Abstract: An underwater electrical or optical connector assembly has a plug unit containing at least one contact element in a bore within the plug body and a receptacle unit containing at least one contact element in a bore aligned with the plug bore when the two parts are mated together. Each of the bores terminates in an enlarged, recessed seat at the front or mating face of the respective unit, and a seal member is movably mounted in each seat. Each seal member has a through bore aligned with the respective bores in the two units when in an open position, and offset from the contact element bores in a closed position so as to seal the bores until the parts are connected. Portions of each seal member project outwardly from the front face to make a good seal when the two front faces are pushed together. The seal members are actuated to move from the closed position to the open position automatically as the two units are mated, and the contact element in the plug unit then extends out of the plug body through the aligned seal member through bores and into the receptacle bore to contact the corresponding receptacle contact element.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de préparation d'une émulsion aqueuse, laquelle possède une répartition par taille de gouttelette étroite d'une matière huileuse qui comprend une ou plusieurs substances fortement insolubles dans l'eau. La matière huileuse est homogénéisée dans une phase hydrophile dans laquelle elle est plus soluble que dans l'eau, mais reste suffisamment insoluble pour que cette homogénéisation permette de produire une émulsion. Cette émulsion est ensuite diluée à l'aide d'une grande quantité d'eau, ceci de manière à obtenir une émulsion stable de matière huileuse qui possède la répartition par taille étroite voulue. Cette émulsion stable peut être mélangée à un excédant d'une matière partiellement soluble dans l'eau qui va être absorbée par les gouttelettes de la matière huileuse. Cette matière partiellement soluble dans l'eau peut comprendre un monomère polymérisable, la polymérisation étant ensuite effectuée de manière à produire une dispersion de particules de polymère. Les particules de polymère peuvent le cas échéant être récupérées dans ladite dispersion.

Abstract: Stimulateur cardiaque comportant des circuits de commande (3) situés dans une partie principale (1) et un câble (5') contenant un conducteur électrique (7) relié à une électrode afin de transmettre au coeur des impulsions électriques de stimulation. On détermine l'étirement d'une paroi dans le ventricule, correspondant au remplissage adéquat du ventricule dans le coeur, de façon à déclencher à temps l'émission des impulsions de stimulation. On détermine la mesure de cet étirement indirectement en mesurant la pression dans le ventricule à l'aide d'un capteur de pression (17) situé à proximité du câble (5') dans le ventricule. Le signal émis par le capteur (17) est envoyé par l'intermédiaire d'un amplificateur (19) par un conducteur (15) à un circuit (21) servant à détecter la montée du signal. Ce circuit de détection (15) compare le signal à une valeur de seuil (Tr). Quand le signal de pression commence à monter et dépasse la valeur de seuil (Tr), le circuit de détection envoie un signal aux circuits de commande (3). A la réception de l'impulsion, l'émission de déclenchement d'une impulsion de stimulation, avec ou sans retard, passe par le conducteur (7). On peut également mesurer l'étirement à l'aide d'une jauge extensométrique appropriée ou d'un capteur de distance fixé à la paroi du ventricule.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to track toner waste and the level of waste toner in
a toner waste receptacle. A sensor measures the amount of toner developed on a
photoreceptive member. At regular intervals a signal representing this developed toner
amount is sent to a machine controller. The machine controller coverts the developed
toner amount into an amount of residual waste based on the machine transfer
efficiency. This residual waste amount is tracked and a signal is generated for a user
as the toner waste receptacle approaches capacity. At full capacity an end of life
signal is generated and for preservation of machine components the machine shuts
down until the waste container is replaced.

grasping surfaces at the tip regions of corresponding tines. An electrically insulative
spacer assembly is positioned on and supported from at least one of the tissue grasping
surfaces to space the tissue contacting surfaces apart an optimized distance, T, when the
tines are in a substantially closed orientation. A preferred, strip form of spacer
assembly formed of an electrically insulative material is employed and improved current
paths are defined between the grasping surfaces to derive an efficient and effective
hemostasis substantially without sticking of tissue to the surfaces. The geometric
configuration of the spacer regions functions to enhance cleanability of the forceps and
the tines of the forceps additionally are formed with side and nose surfaces at the tip
regions having effective side surface current delivery areas improving forceps

Abstract: A system and method for the selection and retrieval of various types of video data from distributed delivery sites calls for the deployment of "Smart Mirror" sites throughout a network, each of which maintains a copy of certain data managed by the system. Each "Smart Mirror" site maintains copies of the data in several alternative file formats. Every user is assigned to a specific delivery site based on an analysis of network performance with respect to each of the available delivery sites. Generalized network performance data is collected and stored to facilitate the selection of additional delivery sites and to ensure the preservation of improved performance in comparison to traditional networks. The appropriate file format is automatically selected based on the capabilities of a user terminal making a request for data.
