  • Patent number: 5531802
    Abstract: A device with an extraction fan for use for drawing off ambient air loaded with harmful substances during, e.g., laser surgery or HF surgery, is passed through a filter device. For routine use, easy replacement of the filter should be possible, its loading time is prolonged, and the arrangement of the filter does not compromise the easy handling of the suction line. To achieve this, a transparent sleeve 6, into which a cylindrical folded filter 10 is pulled via a perforation support tube 26, is installed in the suction line, or the filter has a hole 29 provided with a support lining, so that the filter can be directly attached to the suction-side connecting branch 5. The filter 10 is flown through radially, and thus it offers a large filter surface at minimum extension.

  • Patent number: 5435497
    Abstract: The center has, on its cylindrical wall, adjacent longitudinal rows of slots (3) which are elongated lengthwise, the slots of one row being staggered--generally by half a pitch--with respect to those of the contiguous rows, so that the longitudinal edges of each slot (3) can be brought closer together in the intermediate zone, allowing a substantially uniform reduction in the transverse section of the center when the cylindrical wall of the center is subjected to centripetal pressure under the action of the turns of the wound yarn; an extension (5) projecting into the slot (3) constitutes a spacing element to limit the amount by which the longitudinal edges are brought closer together in their intermediate zone.

  • Patent number: 5433451
    Abstract: A mechanised ballistic target presents a hinged target plate which is knocked down out of sight when hit by a bullet and the shock of the bullet impact on the plate is absorbed pneumatically by a rubber suction cup which the plate strikes; the suction cup has an air leakage passage defined by a capillary tube which sets a time delay before the suction cup releases the target plate to allow a spring to return the target plate to a ready position for the next shot.

  • Patent number: 5430717
    Abstract: A digital cross connect device for telephone and data transfer systems includes a plurality of line cards, including line cards connected to a network line and line cards connected to a subscriber line. The network line and the subscriber line carry a signal including a data portion and a status signal portion. Signal separation is provided for separating the data portion from the status signal portion. A coder is provided for coding the status signals to provide status signal bit packets based on received status signals. A status signal time slot interchange is provided for receiving the status signal bit packets and transmitting the status signal bit packets, based on assigned time slots, to another line card. The status signal time slot interchange includes a connection memory having address locations corresponding to time slots, and a dual port memory for receiving the status signal bit packets and writing bit packets based on the address locations of the connection memory.
