  • Patent number: 8808509
    Abstract: Pyrolytic gas generator for generating clean useful gas from biomass, particularly wood, oil seeds or the like, where a gasification channel in multi-chambered construction is provided, which gasification channel is provided with an assist burner which can supply heat from the outside to the gasification channel during gasification of the biomass, a pre-pyrolyzing pipe is connected upstream of the gasification channel and an ash discharge downstream of the gasification channel, wherein the generated gases are re-gasified in the gasification channel while the material to be gasified is mechanically transported from a material container to the ash discharge.

  • Patent number: 7867260
    Abstract: A plate for stabilizing distal radius fractures, comprising a longitudinal shaft with an adjacent distal, anatomically preformed plate part, with the envelope of the plate part having an essentially triangular shape, and threaded bores with longitudinal axes arranged in both the shaft and the distal plate part and being cone-like at least at the distal plate end, which extend in a predominately non-parallel manner in the distal plate part, and wherein a bend is formed between the shaft and the plate part.

  • Publication number: 20080195157
    Abstract: The invention relates to a small fragment humeral head plate which is used to fix, in a stable manner, bone fracture fragments to the humeral head and shaft which is near to the body, including an elongate plate part which is sheet-shaped, in addition to an anatomically shaped head part which is attached thereto and bores which are arranged in the plate part and in the head part, said bores having a conical-shaped thread which is used to receive bone screws which comprise, respectively, a screw head with a complementary conical thread, such that an angle-stable position is produced when screwing. According to the invention, a symmetrically distributed group of bores are embodied in the head part, wherein the axis of symmetry coincides with the longitudinal axis of the plate. The first, external bores on the head part are oriented in relation to each other at an angle of between, approximately 12 degrees-17 degrees, preferably 15 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20080119894
    Abstract: The invention relates to an osteosynthesis plate, particularly a plate for the head of the radius or humerus, provided with a plurality of bore holes for receiving bone screws, wherein at least some of the bore holes are provided with an inner thread and/or at least one continuous longitudinal bore hole is arranged in the plate, also having a conical shape extending over the longitudinal and/or transversal axis thereof. According to the invention, at least some of the bore holes also have a conical hollow space for receiving bone screws with both a head thread and a spherical head in the area near the bone. The thread section and hollow area section are disposed concentrically above or inside each other. The thread section can be embodied in such a way that it forms a conical thread.

  • Publication number: 20070123886
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plate for stabilizing distal radius fractures, comprising a longitudinal shaft with an adjacent distal, anatomically preformed plate part, with the envelope of the plate part having an essentially triangular shape, and threaded bores with threaded longitudinal axes arranged in both the shaft and the distal plate part and being cone-like at least at the distal plate end, which extend in a predominately non-parallel manner in the distal plate part, and wherein a right-angle bend is formed between the shaft and the plate part. According to the invention the triangular shape of the plate part or the respective envelope is scalene, wherein the side of the triangle away from the shaft comprises a plurality of conical threaded bores.

  • Patent number: 4602328
    Abstract: A system for the management of the physical memory of a processor which utilizes a base register which is loaded, for each virtual address of the memory, by a base address of a discriptive register corresponding to a task to be performed by the processor. This system utilizes a descriptive register table, an adder receiving the binary value of the base address of the first descriptive register, and the binary value of the index corresponding to the first register. The outputs of the adder address one of the inputs of the descriptive register table, thus selecting a segment descriptive register corresponding to the task to be performed. Each of the descriptive registers of the table contains control bits sent to the processor which makes it possible for the processor to check whether, for the segment to which the processor must have access, the processor must operate in the local or overall mode and whether the processor must process an input-output operation or an access to the memory.

  • Patent number: 4507697
    Abstract: Device for indicating the positions of printed circuit cards with respect to their connectors, said cards belonging to an operational system in which each of them carries logic components and has a terminal surface carrying conductor elements able to come into contact with the corresponding conductor elements of an electrical connector, the corresponding conductors of the connector and of the card being able to occupy three relative positions: a first or safe contact position between the corresponding conductor elements of the connector and of the card, the card being correctly positioned relative to its connector, a second intermediate or non-safe contact position between the corresponding conductor elements of the connector and of the card, when the latter is being inserted or removed with respect to its connector, and a third or contact break position between the corresponding conductor elements of the connector and the card, when the card is completely withdrawn from its connector, wherein the device has

  • Patent number: 4499538
    Abstract: The invention relates to an access system to several processors having common resources by means of a common bus.For each processor this system comprises an arbitration means for access request conflicts. The arbitration means comprises access request processing means connected to the bus and to the processor and an access priority resolution circuit connected to the bus, to the access request processing means and to the processor. The resolution circuit is able to allocate mixed, cyclic or mixed fixed and cyclic priorities to the access requests.Application to the management of access requests for processors or microprocessors having common resources, such as memories.
