Title: A method and a device for producing an atmosphere in a region, and use of carbondioxide for the manufacture of medicament
Inventor: LINDEN JAN VAN DER
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: A method for creating an atmosphere in an area which adjoins an outwardly open, inner portion of a body of a human being or an animal, where the portion is uncovered and has direct contact with a surrounding atmosphere, the method including the steps of supplying a gas to the area, wherein the gas forms a main component in the atmosphere and includes a substantial amount of carbon dioxide. The gas is supplied to the area in a substantially laminar, substantially continuous flow and in such manner that the gas forces air away from the open portion and prevents air from penetrating the area of the open portion. The atmosphere prevents growth of microorganisms including bacteria and viruses in the area.

Title: Sterile occlusion fasteners and instrument and method for their placement
Inventor: FOGELBERG MARK
IPC: A61B17/128
Filed: 1995-03-01
Abstract: A clip, clip applier and method for ligating a tissue structure is provided. The applier has a two stage actuation. In the first stage, a tissue structure is positioned into the jaws of the clip applier The jaws close and lock to a preset force to compress and temporarily occlude the tissue structure. If satisfactorily positioned, the second stage is initiated in which a clip is advanced through the shaft of the clip applier in a closed position. At the distal end of the clip applier, the clip is opened slightly to capture the pre-compressed tissue structure, and is placed over the structure. The clip is then dissociated from the business end of the instrument. Preferably the clip comprises two leg members disposed in close proximity to one another joined from opposing directions by a connecting element. The connecting element restricts separation of the leg members with opposing spring members so as to provide substantially uniform parallel deflection of the leg members from each other. <IMAGE>

Title: Encapsulated stepper motor
Inventor: HEINE GUNTER KARL
IPC: H02K37/14
Filed: 1988-10-31
Abstract: A single-housing stepper motor is disclosed comprising a rotor (14) and stator (16) both mounted in a single housing (10) (which may be a part of the base casting) the bearings (40, 42) supporting the rotor for rotation within the housing both being located on the rotor shaft on the same side of the rotor adjacent one another, the opposite end of the single housing being covered with a sealed plastic cover (44). The lamination stack (18) that forms the stator is piloted by machined surfaces (30, 32) into a high tolerence fit within the housing (10), and clamped in place with a simple wave washer/snap ring combination (66, 68). The stator laminations are designed with a decagonally interrupted periphery which can be used without changing the area of the poles (20), and allow space for the wires to the poles to be lead out past the lamination stack. A sealing plastic cover (44) is provided with a special pressure finger (60) to hold the wires (36) running to the stator coils away from the sharp edges of the stack wave spring and snap ring; the cover is also specially designed to capture the wires to relieve the strain on the wires. Alternatively (Fig. 5), the bearings (104, 106) may be located on opposite sides of the rotor (14), the stator (16) is piloted into a precisely aligned position on an inner wall of the housing adjacent the front bearing (104), the other end of the stack being held in place by a bearing holder (116) interposed between the rear bearing (106) and the edge of the stator (16), the holding forces being precisely defined to accurately align the stator with the rotor of the stepper motor. The entire assembly, including the rear bearing, bearing holder and stator support, as well as the stator is held together with a star-shaped spring (15)) comprising a plurality of fingers (106A-D) that slide into and rotate within slots (158A-D) in the housing in a bayonet arrangement. These slots allow insertion of the star-shaped spring under pressure, and rotation under pressure within the groove (160) to a seated position. The same groove then accepts the (160) to a seated position. The same groove then accepts the encapsulating plastic cover (170), preferably inserted through the same openings as the bayonet arms of the spring, though being rotated in the opposite direction.

Title: Bag filter device
Inventor: WATVEDT JORN
IPC: B01D46/02
Filed: 2001-01-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a bag filter device (12), which device enables collection and draining of particles of liquid from a gas, normally air, flowing through the bag filter (12). Such a bag filter (12) is normally used to trap solid particles from a gas flow, but where particles of liquid, in which there are for example salts or bacteria, are also trapped and possibly permeate the bag filter (12) and drip out on the downstream side thereof. Then the liquid may be carried further in the gas flow and have disadvantageous effect on equipment and surroundings. According to the invention such drawbacks can be avoided or reduced in that the filter material of a lower portion (18) and a bottom portion (19) in the continuation of the lower portion (18) of the bag filter (12) is formed in its entirety or in an outer filter layer (20) by a liquid-tight material. Possibly, the bottom portion (19) is provided with a liquid outlet (39), so that the liquid separated can collect and be drained from the bag filter (12).
