Title: Vtol aircraft
IPC: B64C29/00
Filed: 1991-01-11
Abstract: A VTOL aircraft including a fuselage with four nacelles, three vertical stabilizers and a horizontal stabilizer attached to the fuselage. The fuselage and the nacelles are lifting bodies that are configured to jointly form an aerodynamic lifting body which cooperates with the horizontal stabilizer to provide aerodynamic lift to the aircraft in forward flight. Each nacelle contains two rotary engines directly driving corresponding fans which face each other and operate in counter-rotating directions. Each nacelle also contains a system of vanes located at the rear opening thereof, and actuators for extending and retracting the vanes to deflect the airflow over a predetermined range of angles from the horizontal. Each engine utilizes the dynamic pressure of the air behind the fans to provide a source of air for cooling the rotors and exhaust system. A triple redundant computerized flight control system maintains the stability of the aircraft as it transitions from one flight regime to another as well as in flight. The system of vanes alone can also be used as an apparatus for gas or fluid stream directional control.

Patent EP-0599898-A4 (EP)
Title: Sanitary can carriers.
Inventor: ADAMI ARTHUR E
IPC: B65D71/50
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: Can carriers are provided with upwardly protruding can-receiving members having oppositely paired can-receiving recesses and can-stacking platforms. The can-receiving recesses each are defined by an annular locking ring is joined to a protective inverted cup-shaped cover wall sized and configured to closely correspond to the top bead of a conventional can. The locking ring thus seats below the top bead of the can thereby removably locking the can to the can carrier. A camming surface downwardly and radially outwardly extends from the locking ring and assists during the forcible insertion of a can into the can-receiving recess by urging the locking ring to bend and/or flex radially outwardly a sufficient amount to allow for the diametrically larger top bead to pass thereby. Once the top bead is seated in the can-receiving recess, the locking ring will again resiliently return to its normal state. Paired finger openings are preferably provided in association with a raised pad region. Structurally reinforcing rib elements may also be provided with the pad regions.

Patent EP-0844893-A4 (EP)
Inventor: TOLKOFF MARC JOSHUA
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1996-08-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un cathéter destiné à être utilisé avec un orifice d'accès sous-cutané, pour une thérapie mettant en oeuvre une perfusion continue ou intermittente. Le cathéter comporte une spirale hélicoïdale précontrainte (8), qui est incorporée dans une portion flexible de canule (7). Ce trait caractéristique permet à la canule flexible, dans des conditions d'utilisation normales, de se courber sans vrillage. Cette flexibilité améliore considérablement le confort du patient. Le cathéter comporte également une aiguille de pénétration (2) positionnée axialement à l'intérieur du cathéter, mais en faisant saillie par son extrémité pointue, à l'extrémité distale du cathéter. Cette combinaison de cathéter précontraint flexible et d'aiguille de pénétration assure une rigidité suffisante pour pouvoir pénétrer le septum résistant et auto-étanchéifiant utilisé dans les orifices d'accès sous-cutané. Toutefois, lorsque l'aiguille est enlevée, le système est aussi supportable pour le patient que celui utilisant une aiguille hypodermique classique. L'invention concerne également un système amélioré de perfusion transcutanée faisant appel à ce cathéter.
Patent EP-0957758-A4 (EP)
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: A catheter capable of both sensing myocardial electrical activity and delivering ablating energy within myocardial tissue is disclosed. The catheter comprises electrodes on the outer sheath and contains a movable fiber optic cable that can be percutaneously advanced beyond the catheter body and into the myocardium for myocardial heating and coagulation, or modification of tissues responsible for cardiac arrhythmias. The fiber optic tip is designed to diffuse ablating energy radially to ablate a larger volume of tissue than is possible with a bare fiber optic tip. In addition, the tip is treated so that energy is not propagated in a forward direction, thus helping to prevent unwanted perforation of the heart tissue.

Patent EP-0921763-A4 (EP)
Title: Phacoemulsification needle
Inventor: GRAVLEE JOSEPH F JR
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: A phacoemulsification needle tip of the present invention has a continuous cutting edge formed at an inner surface of a cylindrical needle shaft. The cutting edge is formed by cutting the needle shaft at an angle and beveling the exterior surface of at least the forward portion of the needle. The beveling of the exterior surface of the needle tip moves the cutting edge from an exterior diameter of the needle to an interior diameter of the needle. The needle tip having the shape of the present invention has improved cutting ability, accuracy, and threading ability which are important for phacoemulsification procedures. The needle tip is also less likely to puncture sensitive membranes of the eye during surgery. The needle tip may also include an internal beveled surface at a trailing portion of the cutting edge.
