摘要:
The effervescent composition may include at least one compound capable of effervescence in the presence of a liquid, such as water. The effervescent composition may also include a non-hygroscopic solvent. The presence of the non-hygroscopic solvent may assist the effervscent composition in substantially avoiding effervescence until the composition contacts a liquid. Optionally, the ratio of the at least one compound capable of effervescence to the non-hygroscopic solvent is not less than 9:1.

A magnetic control valve is provided in a suction powered pool cleaner (10) of the type for vacuuming dirt and debris from submerged floor and side wall surfaces of a swimming pool. The pool cleaner comprises a head defining a suction inlet (34) for vacuum inflow of water and debris into a plenum chamber (40), and further through a suction tube (42) adapted for connection via a vacuum hose (14) to a conventional pool water filtration system (12). The control valve includes an oscillatory valve member (64) movable between open and substantially closed positions relative to an upstream end of the suction tube to produce pressure fluctuations causing the cleaner to advance in steps over submerged pool surfaces. Oscillatory driving of the valve head is assisted by permanent magnets (74, 76, 78) mounted on the valve member and cleaner head to generate repulsion forces as the valve head respectively approaches the open and closed positions.

A treatment system (22) for use with conveyor apparatus (21) that allows for the uninterrupted use of the conveyor apparatus system (21) while simultaneously treating the conveyor belt (15). The system (22) employs of a sump basin (3) and various spray bars (2) that can sanitize, clean or lubricate a conveyor belt (15) in conjunction with the processing of various products. The treatment system (22) allows for the effective reduction of the down time in the manufacturing possessing using conveyor apparatus.

A therapeutic agent delivery implant (42) for implantation into a patient's body comprises a resilient or flexible, at least partially hydrophobic reticulated elastomeric support scaffold; and a hydrophilic coating arranged on said scaffold, wherein said coating contains one or more therapeutic agents for release within the patient. Optionally the coating can contain microspheres or enzymes. In a preferred embodiment, the scaffold comprises a hydrophobic polyurethane, the coating comprises a hydrophilic polyurethane, and the implant has a hemispherical, bullet, football, cylindrical, spherical, or irregular shape. The implant can be delivered through a rigid or flexible delivery instrument that deploys the implant at a desirable site, whereby the implant expands to a size and shape substantially similar to its size and shape before insertion.

A holding device(20) for thermoplastic bags(50) utilizes bags having side panels(52) and a reclosable seal at one end thereof, the reclosable seal comprising a pair of opposed interlocking closure strips(56) and a slider(58) for opening and closing the closure strips(56). The holding device(20) comprises a support surface and a pair of elongate holding members (23,24) each having a proximal portion(33) adjacent the support surface and a distal portion(34) wherein the holding members define a channel(36) therebetween. The channel(36) has a first section(25) for receiving and enclosing a portion of the slider and a second section(26) for receiving only the closure strips(56) but not the slider(58). The channel(36) further has a slot(30) formed by the distal portions(34) of the holding members (23,24) wherein the slot(30) has a width sufficient to allow the side panels(52) of the thermoplastic bag(50) to enter the slot(30) but prevent passage of the closure strips(56) through the slot (30) .
摘要:
An eductor (1) having an air gap (5), a venturi structure (3), and a non-return valve (19) located in the air gap (5). The non-return valve is removable and allows the eductor to be operated as an air gap eductor or a non-return valve eductor. A non-return valve cartridge (19) for installing in to the air gap (5) of an air gap eductor (1), so that the eductor can be operated as a non-return valve eductor. A method of retrofitting a non-return valve (19) in an air gap eductor (1).

A robotic cleaning device (10) includes a housing having a rounded leading portion (12) and a non-circular trailing portion (14). The width of the trailing portion (14) is no greater than that of the leading portion (12) . The trailing portion (14) can have an electrostatic skirt (42) or bottom cover (36) for cleaning a surface. The skirts (42) can be in the form of a disposable ruffle.

An electromagnetically released friction safety brake secured to a machine element such as a motor, gearing or a mounting bracket (5). To achieve a particularly compact configured brake having high torque an annular outboard traction sheave with the components integrated therein it is proposed that at least one rotating circular ring-shaped friction lining mount (7) is connected to the face edge of the traction sheave (1) facing the machine element (5) and protrudes radially from without into the radial gap between the machine element (5) and the armature disk (6). Preferably the circular ring-shaped friction lining mount (7) is secured axially shiftable to the traction sheave (1) with the aid of spring lamellae (9) in the form of circular ring segments.

An eductor (1) for mixing liquids, e.g. a concentrated solution into water, has a flow passage (16) for a first liquid into which a dispensing passage (18) for a second liquid opens so that in use the second liquid is drawn into the flow of the first liquid. The dispensing passage (18) including a flow restrictor portion provided by a groove (22) extending on the periphery of a restrictor plug (19) removably received in a socket (21) of the eductor body. The groove (22) and the wall of the socket (21) define the flow rate in the dispensing passage. The plug (19) has a plurality of the grooves (22) and is selectively insertable into the socket in a plurality of positions, the grooves providing respectively different flow rates of the second liquid.
