Title: Electrocardiograph sensor positioning device
Inventor: ATHANS ROBERT JAMES
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 1985-11-13
Abstract: An electrocardiograph sensor positioning device includes a pair of sensor locating members (12,14) that are angularly adjustable with respect to each other to a determinable angular position. Co-operative indicia means (50,72) provided on each of the sensor locating members furnish an indication of the relative angular position therebetween. Each of the sensor locating members defines a plurality of location zones (34,38: 56-64) for positioning of the electrocardiograph sensors and indicia means (40,42,68) are provided alongside the location zone to determine the precise location of the electrocardiograph sensors when they are positioned in the location zones. The electrocardiograph sensor positioning device thus permits the establishment of reference paths on the human anatomy which are used to locate the positions of the electrocardiograph sensors. The size and extent of the reference paths and the pivotal arrangement of one of the sensor locating members permits adaptation of the device to a relativey wide range of anatomical size and shape regardless of sex.

Inventor: BERNDT WOLF-DIETER R
IPC: D06F43/08
Filed: 1999-07-14
Abstract: The present invention comprises a dry cleaning system and method, in which dry cleaning machinery is used in conjunction with a specific solvent which is derived from an organic/inorganic hybrid (organo silicone). In this class of organo silicones is a group known as cyclic siloxanes. Such cyclic-siloxane-based solvent allows the system to result in an environmentally friendly process which is, also, more effective in cleaning fabrics and the like than any known prior system. The siloxane composition is employed in a dry cleaning machine to carry out the method of the invention. In order to enhance the cleaning capabilities of the cyclic-siloxane-based solvent, such solvent is modified with a chemical that is selected from the group of chemicals including 2-ethylhexyl acetate, esters, alchohols, and ethers. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the steps of loading articles into a cleaning basket; agitating the articles and the modified siloxane composition in which they are immersed; removing most of the modified siloxane composition; centrifuging the articles; and removing the articles from the basket after cooling the articles.

Filed: 2001-06-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for directly reducing, by way of a fluidized bed method, ore fine that comprises at least one ore component from the group of the magnetite, hydrated, carbonate or sulfide ores. The ore fine is heated in a heating fluidized bed zone which is operated with a heating medium, and said heating medium is combusted. The ore is then transferred to at least one reducing fluidized bed zone in which the synthesis gas is fed as the reducing gas to the ore fine in a counter-current and is removed as a top gas, the ore fine being reduced in said zone to sponge iron. In the heating fluidized bed zone the ore fine is specifically heated up by combustion of the heating medium while oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas is additionally fed to adjust oxidizing conditions, and the hydrate, carbonate and/or sulfide groups are removed and/or converted to hematite. At least a part of the top gas is used as a recycled reducing gas for the direct reduction in the reducing fluidized bed zone.
