Abstract: The invention describes a combined manually and motorized driven roller-furl sail system that enables synchronized hoisting, reefing and stowing of sails, including automatic tightening and fixing sails at a secure position by turning a halyard sheave manually or setting a motor switch for Push-Button operation. Except for the halyard sheave and manual override, the compact unit is placed inside its mandrel and can be adapted to existing furl systems.

Abstract: A linear thread driven telescopic boom vang which is driven by a unit with at least one electric motor with an adapted planetary gear connected to a bearing case that contains thrust and bushing type bearings to accommodate a flange of a threaded rod that will extend or contract an extension arm through a drive nut fixed to it, and where the bearing case is fixed inside the main tube by radial mounted bolts or screws.

Abstract: A rigid boom vang with a center part consisting of a threaded rod with a left hand portion on one side of a combined hand/rope drum with a circular turning line cage and a right hand portion on the other side, enclosed by an outer tube. Each rod is threaded into an extension arm with a corresponding inner drive nut inside and a vang clevis on the outer side. Turning the center part by the hand/rope drum will provide a symmetrical linear movement of the extension arms, because these are mounted on the boom and mast vang brackets and therefore cannot rotate with the rods. The vang brackets are a interchangeable system of hinges with toggles, being adjustable to align with the gooseneck pin axis.

A molecular sieve arrangement is provided, which is flown through from a gas inlet to a gas outlet and comprises a first molecular sieve area with a first pore size between about 0.3 nm and 0.5 nm and a second molecular sieve area with a second pore size between about 0.8 nm and 1 nm.

Abstract: A safety filling device for filling a liquid anesthetic into a reservoir of an anesthetic-metering device with a receiving device, which has an inlet opening for a coupling piece or a closing piece. An essentially rigid guide lever is provided in the connection area between the receiving device and the closing piece. A hinge connection is provided which makes possible an axial displaceability of the guide lever within the inlet opening and a rotary movement of the guide lever outside the inlet opening.

Abstract: A device for mixing anesthetic vapor with a gas according to the bypass principle such that anesthetic gas or liquid anesthetic is prevented from escaping from the evaporator chamber during transportation. The switching on of the anesthetic evaporator takes place under defined pressure conditions in the evaporator chamber. A transport position, which precedes the switch-off position, and in which a ventilating valve of a ventilating line arriving from the evaporator chamber is switched into the switch-off position by the setting member, is provided on the setting member.

Abstract: A safety filling device for filling a liquid anesthetic into a filling space of an anesthetic evaporator from a storage container by means of a filling adapter, which can be pushed into an insertion opening, with a closing element, which interrupts the flow of liquid anesthetic in a switched-off position, and with a control element, which is movable in a stationary housing and sets the states of switching. A preferential position is set on the closing element during the introduction of the filling adapter into the insertion opening. A follower blocking the switched-off position is provided on the closing element between the housing and the control element, and a coding part, which engages the follower in a manner eliminating the blocking of the closing element in the operating position of the filling adapter, is provided on the filling adapter.

Abstract: A gas ratio control device for anesthesia apparatus, includes an anesthetic gas feed line, which has, in a series-connected arrangement, a control valve with an inlet chamber, an anesthetic gas-adjusting valve and a first measuring resistance, and an oxygen feed line, which has a second measuring resistance, wherein the dynamic pressure received from the measuring resistances is sent to a proportional element, which controls the control valve. A flow-proportional addition of the anesthetic gas is possible even at low oxygen flow rates. This is achieved by the outlet chamber and the first pressure chamber being connected to one another in one piece in terms of flow. The anesthetic gas-adjusting valve is arranged in front of the inlet chamber of the control valve in terms of flow. A flow resistance is provided between two chambers limited by diaphragms of the proportional element.

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.

Abstract: A gas ratio control device for anesthetic apparatus with an anesthetic gas feed line 1, which has a control valve 12 and a first measuring resistance 6, and an oxygen feed line 2 with a second measuring resistance 10, wherein the differential pressure determined from the measuring resistances is sent to a proportional member 13 for regulating oxygen feed to anesthetic gas feed. So oxygen concentration will not drop below a minimum oxygen concentration value in the case of anesthetics to be metered at both low and high doses, one of the measuring resistances 6, 10 can be replaced or bridged over with a bypass line 14, which contains a throttle point 15 (FIG. 1).

Abstract: An anesthetics monitoring device includes an anesthetic vaporizer, from which the anesthetic can be supplied to a setting device supplying dosed amounts of anesthetic to an anesthetics device for dispensing the anesthesia to a patient. The device has a coding for the unmistakable assignment of the setting device to the type of anesthetic used. An automatic recognition of the anesthetic used and a setting to a metering and control unit for dispersing the anesthetic is guaranteed. Any incorrect metering and incorrect setting is prevented. For this purpose, the coding is brought into an operative connection with a receiver provided between the setting device and the anesthetics dispersing device. The receiver is equipped with a scanning apparatus which is connected to the metering and control dispensing unit by means of signal transfer lines.

Leakage of anesthetic gas or liquid anesthetic can be avoided during the filling especially of low-boiling anesthetics by providing the reservoir 10 with a seal 17, which closes the connection opening 9 at least in a liquid-tight manner and can be opened by a projection 5 which is arranged on the connection piece 2 and extends into the interior space of the connection opening 9, as soon as the connection piece 2 is sealed off from the surroundings against the connection opening 9 by a sealing element 15 in a gas-tight and liquid-tight manner.

Abstract: A process for calibrating a flow sensor in a respiratory system, with final control elements arranged in the respiratory system for influencing the respiration gas stream, is to be improved in terms of the influence of the qualitative gas composition of the respiration gas. To accomplish the task, the final control elements 4, 11 are switched, for calibration, over to a closed respiratory system with directed respiration gas stream. The drive unit 13 feeds the respiration gas present in the respiratory system through the flow sensor 9 according to a predetermined time-volume relationship. A calibration value for the flow sensor 9 is formed by comparison of the time-volume relationship with the measured signal of the flow sensor 9.
