not give or flex inward as downward pressure is applied to the finger tabs this contributes to the easy deployment of the access means 20 in the preferred embodiment illustrated the tear lines 30 are of arcuate configuration they are curved or arched concavely toward the end wall 90 the tear lines 30 intersect a frangible or otherwise weakened line 32 that is formed in the side end flaps 76 and 78 to extend between the side walls 64 and 66 entirely across the end wall 90 thereby defining a retaining portion 95 of the end wall 90 the tight packing of the carton 12 and or the rigidity of the composite top wall provides tension in the carton walls which may restrain the cans u2018 c u2019 of the uppermost row from rolling free from the carton 12 when the access means 20 is first displaced or detached from the carton 12 the protruding part of the composite top wall may also assist in retaining the end most can of the uppermost row within the carton 12 as the access means 20 is deployed furthermore the configuration of the weakened lines 32 provides an opening which is shaped such that cans u2018 c u2019 of the lowermost rows are restrained from.

the relationship is derived where the inflation pressure under the element equals the formation pressure below the element times the ratio of the areas of for example surface 90 divided by surface 84 in the event of an increase in pressure from the formation the annulus pressure above the inflated element and outside of the compensating device c remains the same however the increase in the formation pressure is communicated through port 138 onto the balancing piston 96 since the pressure above the balancing piston 96 is increasing while the outer annulus pressure remains constant there is a net downward force on balancing piston 96 this is communicated through spacer 88 to the compensating piston 70 at the same time the rising formation pressure tends to increase the inflate pressure which presents an offsetting force in annular space 82 acting on surface 84 thus because the formation pressure increases and such pressure is communicated to above the balancing piston 96 any tendency to increase the inflate pressure due to a rise in formation pressure creates an offsetting uphole force on compensating piston 70 the increased inflate pressure acts on surface 84 thus offsetting the downhole increased force applied by a pressure increase from the formation acting in annular space 148 on the balancing piston 96 since.

anteromedial portal referring next to fig5 graft 2 is pulled distally to visualize the whip stitching 6 8 and to position the femoral retroscrew 50 between the two strands of the folded graft 2 the graft 2 is pulled slowly so that it is seated fully in the femoral socket 40 while advancing the screw 50 into the femoral socket 40 between the graft strands a probe not shown may be used to orient the two bundles of graft 2 anatomically into the respective notches of femoral tunnel 40 the distal end of the whip stitching 6 8 should be flush with the opening of tunnel 40 prior to insertion of screw 50 the graft 2 is tensioned in the femoral socket 40 and graft strands are positioned into the notches of the femoral tunnel 40 the femoral retroscrew 50 is positioned between the graft strands and axially aligned with the tunnel 40 in 90 u00b0 of knee flexion the diameter of femoral retroscrew 50 should be equal to or 1 mm larger than the diameter of the drilled femoral socket the femoral retroscrew 50 separates the folded graft 2 into two anatomical bundles the concentrically positioned screw 50 under the looped graft 2 substantially increases femoral pull out strength of the graft 2 as compared to prior techniques referring to fig7 the knee is cycled and the driver 48 is reloaded with a 2 fiberstick u2122 56 and reinserted up the tibial tunnel 36 anterior to the graft 2 the.

u03c615 are supplied to the circuit blocks b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 and b5 respectively as clock signals to be used for transferring data in a similar manner based upon the other reference clock signal u03c620 clock signals are successively delayed by delay circuits t20 t21 t22 t23 and t24 to generate clock signals u03c621 u03c622 u03c623 u03c624 and u03c625 the clock signals u03c620 u03c621 u03c622 u03c623 u03c624 and u03c625 are supplied to the circuit blocks b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 and b5 as operation clock signals the above delay circuits t10 through t14 and t20 through t24 may be formed by inverter chains for example as shown in fig1 and a delay time t is set to be sufficiently small to be substantially negligible with respect to the clock signal cycle in alternative embodiments other delay circuits may be used an operation of the logic integrated circuit composed in this manner will be described with reference to fig2 a and 2 b fig2 a shows operations of the two circuit blocks b0 and b1 as described above the circuit block b0 starts operation at the rise time of the reference clock signal u03c620 and the operating current flows through the circuit block b0 at the same timing the operation of the circuit block b1 is started by the clock signal u03c621 with a delay of t with respect to the circuit block b0 and the operating current flows therethrough as shown in fig2 a the operation of the following circuit blocks are performed in a similar manner as a result the operating current for the entire chip of a logic integrated circuit is time wise divided by the number of divided blocks forming the circuit as shown in fig2 b as clearly shown in fig2 a.
