  • Patent number: 5493891
    Abstract: A device for generating a test gas e.g., ethanol has at least two series-connected containers, which are filled with a calibration solution. A carrier gas, which is enriched with the calibration substance present in the solution corresponding to the vapor pressure of the calibration substance at the given temperature, is passed through these calibration containers. To prevent or to reduce the depletion of the components necessary for the gaseous calibration substance in the calibration solution, a defined amount of a stock solution is fed through the calibration containers in counterflow to the direction of delivery of the carrier gas.

  • Patent number: 5494034
    Abstract: The process comprises the steps of creating three reference points at an object and taking a tomogram of the object such that the three reference points define a first set of positional data in the tomogram. The object is then non-rigidly placed on a support for operation thereupon by an instrument which is mounted at a flexible arm containing sensors for sensing the movements of an instrument tip. The instrument tip is placed at the three reference points in order to create a second set of positional data which are in a fixed relationship to the first set of positional data. When the instrument is inserted into the object placed on the support, the positional data of the instrument tip during the insertion movement are sensed and related to the first set of positional data via the fixed relationship between the first and second sets of positional data.

  • Patent number: 5491965
    Abstract: A compliant mounting to attach a suction cup (11) to a support rod (10) is configured so that tilting movement of the cup occurs in such a way that translation of the mouth of the cup is minimised. The effective centre of the cup pivotal movement should lie within the confines of, or closely adjacent the cup. In the embodiment this is achieved by providing a sleeve (50) having an open lower end across which is stretched a resilient membrane (52). The membrane has a central aperture in which is secured the cup (11). Tilting movement of the cup occurring by subjecting the cup to a one-sided force A results in a complex pivotal cup motion by deformation of the membrane (52).

  • Patent number: 5493544
    Abstract: The caseband (1) of the watch case comprises a central body (10) onto which a peripheral body (20) is secured in a detachable manner. In order to diminish the weight of noble metal of the case and thus its price, the peripheral body includes a hollow (21) around the circumference of the caseband. A framework (25) formed of a strong but inexpensive material is arranged within the hollow (21), when the two bodies are separated from one another, in order to assure good strength to the case.

  • Patent number: 5492427
    Abstract: A ball joint and a work process for preparing such a ball joint are described, in which the housing is prepared in one piece by a sheet metal shaping process. An edge bead, which is used to close the housing by a cover, is prepared by material deformation on the outer circumference of the housing. A groove for receiving the sealing bellows, which groove is likewise located on the outer circumference of the housing, is formed during the shaping process, so that machining of the housing is not necessary.

  • Patent number: 5490500
    Abstract: An anesthetic evaporator according to the bypass principle, in which a carrier gas system is partially led through an evaporation chamber, is enriched with an anesthetic vapor to saturation there, and is again fed into the bypass flow. The function of the elements that influence the metering are not impaired by the penetration of anesthetic in an unintentional position other than the position intended for operation, and that the anesthetic located in the mixed gas outlet is not influenced by anesthetic located outside the evaporation chamber. Either the evaporation chamber line leading to the evaporation chamber or the return line leading from the evaporation chamber to the flow regulating valve opens into an intermediate container, from which a channel communicates with the interior of the evaporation chamber.

  • Patent number: 5490760
    Abstract: A geared multishaft turbocompressor with impellers arranged in series in terms of flow, are attached to two or more pinion shafts (6), which are arranged in parallel to one another and are driven directly via a central gear (5) or indirectly via pinion shafts at the circumference of the central gear (5). A plurality of impellers (8, 8a) are arranged in series, via the interstage diaphram of a disk-type diffuser (9) and of a return ring (10), on at least one pinion shaft end (6) in high-pressure stages following low-pressure stages (first pinion shaft or first and second pinion shafts) after the second or third pinion shaft (6). Reversing the direction of flow, i.e., admission of the gas on the high-pressure side and discharge of the gas on the low-pressure side, as well as with simultaneous reversal of the direction of rotation, a radial expander (turbine) is obtained with the same basic design.
