Patent IT-TO950104-D0 (IT)
IPC: A61B5/042
Filed: 1995-02-15
Abstract: The mapping electrodes (3) are disposed on resilient elements (4) which branch out from the shaft (2) of the catheter and each of which carries a respective electrical contact element (9). The ablation electrode (7) is disposed on the end of a manoeuvrable support element (8) which can bend in a given bending plane. The same element carries an electrical contact (10) located in a fixed position relative to the bending plane. Angular orientation of the support element (8) of the ablation electrode (7) enables a position to be reached in which there is electrical connection between the contact (10) carried by the support element 8 and the respective contact (9) carried by the flexible element (4) on which the mapping electrode (3) located at the operation site is disposed. It is thus possible to position the ablation electrode (7) at this site accurately and quickly. <IMAGE>

Inventor: KNOER PETER
IPC: C02F11/12
Filed: 2002-04-08
Abstract: On drying pasty materials, particularly sewage sludge, the material is compacted in an intermediate drying stage with a dry fraction of 60 to 80%, so that relatively low energy costs are required. The conveying of the material takes place both during pre-drying and after leaving the compactor on one or two air-permeable conveyor belts (3, 4) succeeding one another in the conveying direction and which are enclosed in a common housing (2). Thus, drying before and after compacting is performed under identical method conditions, so that it is possible to produce a simple and therefore inexpensive installation for performing the method. The finished product has advantageous characteristics with regards to density and abrasion resistance, so that dust production is avoided during subsequent handling.

Title: A greetings card
Filed: 2011-01-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to greetings cards. The present invention relates in particular to methods of addressing the apparent short-term nature of cards. Many card are simply placed in a trash basket after use. This represents a tremendous waste; further whilst it is sometimes desired to retain a card, the card is generally manufactured to a cost which means that one is less likely to want to retain such a card. The present invention seeks to provide a solution to the problems addressed above. The present invention seeks to provide a greetings card (14) which is both simple and convenient to retain. The card comprises an adhesive member (35,36,37) allowing it to be re-used and thereby provides an economical product in terms of cost and for the environment.

Title: Apparatus and method for treatment of feedstocks
Filed: 2011-04-28
Abstract: An apparatus 100 suitable for the heat treatment of a bulk feedstock comprises a receptacle 101 suitable for receiving a bed of feedstock, an inlet 105 through which microwaves may pass to enter the receptacle, causing the feedstock bed to heat up due to volumetric heating effects, to release inbound moisture to regions within the bed. The apparatus further comprises a stock of reusable agitator elements 200 mixed within the bed of feedstock, the elements preferentially absorbing at least some of the microwave energy thereby heating up to cause additional heating of the moisture or vapour or gas released from the feedstock. A vibratory means 110 is operable to cause the receptacle to vibrate and agitate the feedstock and agitator elements and the released liquid or vapour in the receptacle so as to produce a fluidised bed of feedstock, in which the agitator elements are shaped so as to assist in the formation and collapse of microvoids within the bed to drive released moisture or vapour out of the bed. In a further aspect, a method of drying or otherwise treating a feedstock by a combination of heating, vibrating and agitating the feedstock is disclosed.

Abstract: With polybasic inorganic acids, for example boric acid, polyvinyl alcohol forms complex compounds, which, in the form of a gel, are suitable as adhesives. PVAL complex compounds are prepared in simple manner by subjecting to alcoholysis a polyvinyl ester in the presence of an organic boric acid derivative complexing agent. The reaction is carried out in alcoholic solution and the complexing agent should be soluble in alcohol. As starting material polyvinyl acetate is preferred, and methanol is preferred as alcohol. The PVAL complex compounds prepared in this way are used, inter alia, as binders and thickening agents for coating substances.

Title: Washing column
Inventor: VAN DER MALEN BERNARDUS G M
IPC: B01D9/04
Filed: 1982-12-27
Granted: 1985-10-03
Abstract: A washing column for the continuous separation between a solid chemical formed in a liquid multi-component system, on the one hand, and the mother liquor in which the solid chemical is suspended, on the other. In a cylindrical working space a stationary, straight, plane washing front is maintained in a packed bed of the solid chemical substance between the mother liquor, on the one hand, and a melt of the solid chemical, on the other. According to the invention, the washing column is double-walled to form an enveloping space, which contains a heat insulating medium and can be pressurized to conform to the pressure within the column. This construction permits the use of a relatively thin, glass inner wall of uniform wall thickness and inner surface. This renders the column resistant to corrosive chemicals, reduces the effect of heat exchange with the surroundings, and prevents instabilities in the washing front.

Abstract: A method and a device for correcting the cuff pressure in the indirect, non-invasive and continuous measurement of the blood pressure in a part of the body by using a plethysmograph in a fluid-filled pressure cuff, an electronic control circuit, and an electric pressure valve. The cuff pressure is controlled by the plethysmographic signal in closed-loop operation with the aid of a servo-reference level obtained via a memory circuit. The servo-reference level, in operation of the device, is adjusted by opening the closed loop of the control circuit for a short interval, after which, in open-loop operation the cuff pressure is adjusted at an intermediate pressure derived from the pressure last measured and the servo-reference level is adjusted via the memory circuit.
