Abstract: device for administering liquids comprises an administering part (10) and an adhesive plaster (11). The administering part (10) is connected with a cannula stud (30) and an administering line (14) and carries a liquid. For fastening the administering part (10) to the surface of a patient's skin or the surface of an object the adhesive plaster (11) is stuck on the surface. The adhesive plaster (11) is provided with a plug-in pin (38) which is adapted to be inserted into an insertion opening (43) of the filter (10). By placing the filter (10) onto the plug-in pin (38) the administering part (10) is detachably connected with the adhesive plaster (11). If the administering part (10) is a filter with transparent housing the filter membrane is well visible since the latter is not covered by adhesive strips when the filter is fastened to the patient's body.

Abstract: The catheter coupling is intended for providing the proximal end of a catheter with a plug connector forming a fluid transfer connection. The catheter coupling comprises two pivotable jaws enclosing a wavy channel. One of the jaws is provided with a hose in which the catheter may be inserted. When the other jaw is closed, the hose and the catheter is deformed to a wave-shape without any significant change in cross section. Thus, the catheter is secured against being pulled out.

Abstract: A filter for medical fluids comprises a hydrophilic membrane (18) dividing the filter into an inlet chamber (20) and an outlet chamber (22). This prevents air from penetrating the outlet chamber (22). The air retained in the inlet chamber (20) is discharged through vent holes (30, 32). Each vent hole (30, 32) is covered with a hydrophobic membrane (34, 36). According to the invention one of the vent holes (30) is provided in a front wall (38) opposite the hydrophilic membrane (18). The other vent hole (32) is provided in a rear wall (46) located opposite the front wall (38) so that the two vent holes (30, 32) point in opposite directions. Owing to this arrangement of the two vent holes (30, 32) one vent hole (30, 32) points upwards irrespective of the filter position. This improves venting of the inlet chamber (20).

Abstract: A wear lining for a rotary furnace of an incineration installation for, for example, chemical waste, wherein the wear lining comprises tapered bricks (1, 2, 3) which are installed in the furnace in the form of a vaulted lining, the main taper of each brick being matched to the desired vaulted lining shape, and wherein the height (H) of the bricks extends in the thickness direction of the lining. In this lining the bricks are of low porosity and able to withstand high temperatures and chemicals. Furthermore, the bricks have an additional taper which extends at least over part (h) of the height thereof, which additional taper provides, on the inside (9) of the lining, an increase in the gap width (T1) between adjoining bricks which decreases towards the outside of the lining. Preferably, the additional taper is such that, in the cold assembled state, the increase in the gap width (T1) on the inside of the lining is in the range from 1 mm to 2.4 mm. The additional taper extends over 0.1 to 0.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically erasable floating-gate memory cell (EEPROM) in which the Fowler-Nordheim tunnel effect is exploited for programming and erasing. In accordance with the invention, a trench adjacent to the side of the drain zone facing away from the channel zone and covered with a dielectric tunnel layer is provided in the semiconductor element, so that the floating-gate electrode extends into the trench in such a way that the tunnel current can flow horizontally to the semiconductor surface between the drain zone and the floating-gate electrode. This permits a reduction in the cell size and to higher integration densities. Preferably the floating gate electrodes of at least two cells extend into a single trench.

Abstract: A glass system with temperature controlled translucency, utilizing plastics, where the glass system comprises a polymer blend P, formed from unlike polymer constituents P.sub.1 and P.sub.2, and has a lower critical solution temperature (LCST), where under the critical solution temperature the polymer blend is single-phase and transparent and above the critical solution temperature polymer constituents P.sub.1 and P.sub.2 separate, and where the polymer constituents P.sub.1 and P.sub.2 have different indices of refraction.

Abstract: A ceramic veneer manufactured from a thin-fluid slip by drying and baking of the slip. The slip consists of at least two different layers which have either different shrinkage rates during baking and/or different co-efficients of thermal expansion in the baked condition. The shrinkage rates and the coefficients of thermal expansion of the individual layers are determined such that the veneer remains of a uniform thickness throughout the manufacturing process.
