Abstract: An inner lining fabric of reduced thickness and having a down-fill composition for use as  an  inner lining in an article of apparel and a method of making the inner lining fabric  is disclosed.   A patterned envelope is formed and defines a pouch in which down or a  down  composition  is  inserted  and  distributed substantially evenly within the envelope.  The envelope is then compressed in portions thereof and stitch seams are formed to define a quilt pattern of closely spaced stitch  lines  to  reduce  the  loft  of  the  down-fill composition by at least twice the normal loft thereof. This procedure is repeated over the entire envelope whereby the inner lining fabric has at least half the thickness  of  the  normal  loft  of  the  down-fill composition.  The inner lining fabric may have portions thereof  with  quilting  defining  surface  areas  of different portions to vary the thermal insulating value of different portions of the inner lining.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé perfectionné de fabrication de comprimés pharmaceutiques lyophilisés dans des emballages alvéolaire. On introduit les doses liquides dans une feuille multi-couche stratifiée alvéolaire possédant une couche intermédiaire (14) imperméable placée entre une première et une deuxième couche extérieure (16, 18), chacune de ces couches possédant sensiblement le même coefficient de dilatation thermique. Les propriétés des couches extérieures sont telles qu'aucune tension entre les couches ne provoque de déformation de la feuille alvéolaire lorsqu'on la soumet à des variations de température durant les étapes de congélation et de lyophilisation. Après introduction des doses dans les cavités (10) de la feuille alvéolaire, on procéde à leur congélation et à leur lyophilisation. On fixe ensuite un film de couverture (32) sur la feuille alvéolaire afin d'enfermer de façon étanche les doses solides dans l'emballage alvéolaire.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices for analyzing a fluid cell containing sample. The de-vices comprise a solid substrate (14), microfabricated to define at least one sam-ple inlet port (16A) and a mesoscale flow system (20).  The mesoscale flow system (20) includes a sample flow channel (20), extending from the inlet port, and a cell handling region for treating cells disposed in fluid communication with the flowchannel.  The devices may further include means for inducing flow of cells in the sample through the flow system.  In one embodiment, the cell-handling region (22) may comprise a cell lysis means (24) to enable the lysis of cells in the sample, prior to, e.g., the detection of an intracellular component in the cell sample. In another embodiment, the cell handling region may comprise a cell capture re-gion, comprising binding sites which reversibly bind to a specific population ofcells in the cell sample, to permit the isolation of the specific cell population from the sample.  The devices can be utilized in a wide range of automated sensitive and rapid tests for the analysis of a fluid cell containing sample.

Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for guiding a medical instrument to a predetermined target location within the periurethral tissues of a patient.  The apparatus directs the instrument along a predetermined path with respect to the patient's urethra (250) and limits penetration of the instrument to a predetermined depth. The disclosed embodiment comprises an apparatus for implanting inflatable prostheses (220) within the periurethral tissues to coapt the urethra (250) and thereby manage incontinence. A method for effecting coaptation of a urethra (250) of a patient is also disclosed. According to this method, a pair of working channels are formed within the periurethral tissues, and an inflatable prosthesis (220) is introduced into each working channel. The prostheses (220) are inflated only after both working channels have been formed, and preferably after both prostheses (220) have been positioned within their respective working channels. The inflated prostheses (220) confront the urethra (250) and effect coaptation of the urethra (250).

Abstract: A face shield assembly for a snowmobile or motorcycle helmet has  a  ventilation  system  for  cold-weather  face  shield defogging.  The face shield has a face shield frame, lower and upper face shield frame vents, and lower and upper air guides to direct the flow of air flowing through the lower and upper vents.  The face shield may be a heated double lens shield having a weather lens, a face lens and an air gap in between the weather lens and the face lens.  The assembly may also include an electric face shield defogging system having first and second electrodes extending along the upper and lower edge portions, respectively,  of the-air gap-facing surface of the face lens.  Side areas of the face shield are substantially free of visual obstruction so as to enhance the rider's field of vision.   There is a separate electric connector at an end of each electrode, with each connector extending through at least one lens and coming into direct contact with its respective electrode.   First and second power leads  connect  with  first  and  second  connectors, respectively.   The present face shield assembly may be provided without an electric heating system, in which the guided air flow alone acts to defog the shield.

Abstract: Communications systems and methods are directed to a novel communications platform which employs a TDM bus, a TDM bus controller, a passive Ethernet bus, and a centralized Ethernet hub to provide for the communication of data, voice, and/or video signals among a plurality of endpoint devices. The TDM bus controller provides aplurality of B-Channels on the TDM bus. The centralized Ethernet hub is coupled to the TDM bus controller via a control link. Each endpoint device is connected to at least one of the passive Ethernet bus and the TDM bus. The centralized Ethernet hub operates over the passive Ethernet bus to dynamically allocate one or more individual B-Channels of a single B-Channel set amongst a group of endpoint devices, such as telephoneequipment, video communications equipment processors, and/or computing devices. The centralized Ethernet hub provides a logical control channel to each endpoint device for call establishment. Each endpoint device is coupled to the logical control channel over at least one of a first path comprising the passive Ethernet bus and a second path comprising the TDM bus, the TDM bus controller, and the control link. The logical control channel executes B-channel seizure algorithms for establishment of communications to and from selected endpoint devices.

Abstract: A motor driven roller shutter (10) employs a curtain (11) having a leading edge (12) and being adapted to slide vertical in a guide channel (14) between a raised position and a lowered position. A locking assembly (13) is secured to the channel (14) and is engageable with the shutter adjacent the leading edge (12) to inhibit the leading edge being levered away from the lowered position. The leading edge includes a flange (15) and the locking assembly includes a retractable foot (16) extending from a housing (17) so that in order to raise the shutter (11), the foot (16) must be retracted into the housing (17). A solenoid inner circuit is used to retract the foot (16) which then engages a limit switch to make the circuit to a motor to raise the curtain. Typically, the two locking assemblies are used opposite ends of the leading edge of the curtain.

Title: Double-based lamp and socket therefor, and lamp base construction
Inventor: GREILER WOLFGANG
IPC: H01J5/56
Filed: 1996-05-09
Granted: 2006-08-29
Abstract: To insure that lamps which have a non-rotation symmetrical feature or structure with respect to aligned bases (e.g., a tipped-off exhaust or pumping stub) are placed in a predetermined preferred operating position when inserted into socket terminals (2a, 2b), the lamp bases are formed with stepped surface abnormalities (10a, 10b), for example, in the form of recesses or projections from a terminal engagement surface (8a, 8b) extending perpendicularly to the lamp axis (A-A); socket springs (2a, 2b) have matching surface abnormalities which interengage with the surface abnormality on the base, for example by being formed with ridges, or depressions. The lamp thus can be inserted in such bases only if the respective surface abnormalities on the lamp bases and in the socket terminals can engage. The lamp, however, can be used also with socket terminals which do not have such interengagement surface abnormalities, so that the lamps are universally usable with specific location-determining sockets, or with sockets where the position of the lamp must be determined by a user:
