Abstract: A vacuum assisted lancing device (10) for obtaining capillary blood from body sites includes a plunger (12) mounted in a barrel or upper housing (24) that upon being pressed by a user, drives a lancet (18) to puncture skin at a body site. A vacuum member such as a diaphragm (38, 66) or bellows (66) is displaced by the plunger (12) and displaces air in the lancing device (10) to create a vacuum. The vacuum draws skin partially into the lancing device (10) causing blood to form at the puncture. The vacuum is then released and the blood is tested.

Abstract: Stops (33) allow a coupling sleeve (32) to press axially onto a fixed part (4) so that it can rotate and draw the dental instrument against the joint. The stops are between a coupling sleeve (32) and the fixed part. The sleeve extends towards the front over a length sufficient to surround a group of contact rings (26) and to prevent accidental contact between the rings and an exterior object when the joint is not connected to the dental instrument. The joint (1) has: (a) a pipe (7), designed to be connected to the supply source, electrical conductors (21) and fluid pipes (19,20); (b) a fixed part (4) with rear pipe connection and front end fitted electrical contact rings (26) connected to the conductors; (c) channels (13-16), passing through the fixed part, connect the fluid pipe(s) with the instrument; and, (d) a rotatable part turns around the fixed part it has a coupling sleeve (32) fitted with a coupler which fits on the instrument.

Abstract: An automated, real-time decision support system for reassigning, rescheduling, and rerouting aircraft in response to flight operation disruptions, in which sets of optimal solutions are provided through use of evaluation statistics to assist operations management in selecting the optimal solution best conforming to operational constraints and user requirements. Solutions are generated through the execution of unary operations, binary operations, three-way operations, and reverse binary operations on grounded aircraft routes, available aircraft routes, and phantom routes which implicitly canceled flights. Solutions are evaluated for feasibility with respect to operations constraints and user requirements. Marginal value calculators are used to differentiate feasible solutions and identify optimal solutions. The marginal value calculators are dynamic, hierarchical calculators that permit use of multiple, prioritized, and weighted route and operation attributes in comparing solution values. Marginal value calculators are selected by means of a decision tree.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to reduce exhaust steam losses and thus efficiency losses in condensation power stations such that the steam does not expand to the attainable vacuum (as is the case in the prior art) but, after extraction from a turbine or the like, is elevated in the caloric content thereof to a higher pressure stage in a heat transformer by means of pumps, which are connected upstream therefrom and which are provided for the secondary circuit, in order to effect a renewed expansion at said heat transformer. This is repeated as often as possible until the quantity of heat which otherwise escapes through the cooling tower is largely converted into electric energy.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de détecter un objet dans le champ de vision d'un lecteur optique tel qu'un numériseur de code barre (102). La détection d'objet est déterminée par un algorithme logiciel qui peut être incrusté dans un contrôleur (104) ou microprocesseur intégré dans le numériseur. L'algorithme logiciel de détection d'objet utilise un seuil de déclenchement du courant pour déterminer si la quantité de lumière réfléchie (116), suffisante pour indiquer la présence d'un mouvement dans le champ de vision du numériseur (102), varie. Le système peut normaliser le bruit aléatoire dans un circuit de numériseur et s'adapter à différents degrés de réflexion de matières cibles sans avoir à faire appel à un circuit supplémentaire ou à une bande de réflexion pour détecter avec précision un objet.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à des turbo codes concaténés en série dont l'utilisation permet d'obtenir, pour un niveau acceptable de complexité de décodage, une performance avantageuse en terme de taux d'erreurs, une grande efficacité en terme de bande passante, de faibles retards et un seuil plancher d'erreurs réduit. Ces codes sont des codes pour lesquels certains au moins des bits de sortie, y compris au moins un bit de redondance, délivrés par un premier codeur externe sont, après entrelacement, traités également par un second décodeur interne. Les données résultantes et les bits redondants servent ensuite à la sélection d'un symbole dans une constellation préétablie, en vue de sa transmission. Dans le récepteur, le turbo code est décodé à l'aide d'un nombre correspondant de décodeurs de sortie pondérés qui fonctionnent de manière itérative de telle sorte qu'il est possible d'améliorer les performances en comparaison de ce qu'il est possible d'obtenir avec un codage simple. Ces turbo codes peuvent posséder diverses caractéristiques de dimensions et il est possible de les utiliser comme composant d'un code multiniveau dans le but d'obtenir un niveau souhaité d'efficacité en terme de bande passante.

Abstract: A novel coating for medical devices provides nitric oxide delivery using nanofibers of linear poly(ethylenimine)diazeniumdiolate. Linear poly(ethylenimine)diazeniumdiolate releases nitric oxide (NO) in a controlled manner to tissues and organs to aid the healing process and to prevent injury to tissues at risk of injury. Electrospun nano-fibers of linear poly(ethylenimine) diazeniumdiolate deliver therapeutic levels of NO to the tissues surrounding a medical device while minimizing the alteration of the properties of the device. A nanofiber coating, because of the small size and large surface area per unit mass of the nanofibers, provides a much larger surface area per unit mass while minimizing changes in other properties of the device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a diaphragm actuator for control valves, wherein the gear rack is arranged so that the points of contact of the gear rack/gear wheel system are situated on the straight line connecting the centers of the movable walls of the pressure spaces effecting the movement. Thereby, no torsion forces act on the diaphragm backing plates or on the diaphragms, but the forces effecting the movement of the reciprocating elements are substantially parallel with the path of motion and symmetrical. Additionally, the clearance between the gear rack and the gear wheel is substantially eliminated by means of a support roll with bearings. According to the invention, a lightly movable actuator is provided, in which the delays caused by clearances or wall friction of the cylinder-piston arrangement are substantially eliminated. The actuator can be implemented either as double-acting or single-acting.

Abstract: A plasma arc torch and method for improving the life of the consumable parts of the plasma are torch, including the electrode, the tip and the shield cap. The method includes turbulating gas as it flows over the exposed surfaces of the electrode, tip and shield cap to increase turbulence in the hydrodynamic boundary layer of the gas flow, thereby enhancing convective heat transfer. The result of enhanced cooling is improved consumable parts life. For example, to increase the turbulence of the gas flow over the outer surface of the electrode, the plasma arc torch electrode has a roughened, or textured outer surface formed with dimples, axially extending grooves or spiraling grooves formed in the outer surface of the electrode. The inner and outer surfaces of the tip and the inner surface of the shield cap are similarly textured.
