Title: Surgical stapling instrument and method
Inventor: BISHOP GREGORY D
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1995-06-09
Abstract: Various mechanisms, and a method of operating them, are provided for use in a surgical instrument. A shaft and an engaged lost motion operating knob are provided for rotation relative to a handle portion. A latch system prevents rotation of the shaft unless the shaft is rotated by means of the knob. A cartridge is provided for rotation at the distal end of the shaft. Engaging structures are provided for preventing rotation of the cartridge relative to the shaft when axial forces are applied to the cartridge. A loading tool is provided for engaging the cartridge to install the cartridge on the instrument. The cartridge includes a washer for engaging a carrier on which the cartridge is mounted so as to prevent rotation of the washer. The washer is adapted to engage a fastener advancing member in a first angular orientation and is disengaged when the cartridge is rotated to establish a second relative angular orientation. In the first angular orientation, the fastener advancing member is restrained against longitudinal movement to assist in installation of the cartridge onto the instrument. The distal end of the instrument can be articulated, and a helical gear operator is provided for effecting the articulation. The helical gear pitch decreases in a direction such that the mechanical advantage is increased as the articulation angle increases. A trigger actuating system includes a trigger lever with a cam channel, a pin in the cam channel, and a link connected at one end to the pin and at the other end to a reciprocatable driver. A frame is provided with a guide channel for guiding an end of the pin. The trigger lever is pivotally mounted to the frame and biased to a normally unactuated position.

Title: Power-on reset circuit
Inventor: RAY S DOUG
IPC: H03K17/22
Filed: 1995-07-24
Abstract: An improved power-on reset circuit is provided for controlling reset signal transition until after the power supply has achieved operational levels. Specifically, the reset signal is designated to transition from a high to a low state after the power supply exceeds a fixed reference voltage. The reference voltage is set at a voltage value greater than the operational voltage level of devices within a load circuit connected to the output of the power-on reset circuit. The power-on reset circuit includes numerous subcircuits used to define the reference voltage, trigger the reference voltage in relation to the power supply voltage, delay the triggered voltage, and buffer the delayed, triggered voltage to a reset value capable of driving load circuit impedances.

Filed: 1996-01-26
Abstract: In Hadamard transform coding/decoding method and apparatus,
transform coefficients which are obtained through an Hadamard
transform operation in an Hadamard transformer 3 are subjected to
a bit extract (delete) operation in a bit delete unit 4 to extract
1 bit from the least significant bits of the transform
coefficients, 4 bits from the second least significant bits and
7 bits from the third least significant bits and then the
extracted bits are output as supplement information Ysup. In
addition, the transform coefficients whose first, second and third
least significant bits are deleted, are output from the bit delete
unit 4. A bit restoring unit 7 supplements the first, second and
third least significant bits of all the transform coefficients on
the basis of the 1-bit information, 4-bit information and 7-bit
information per block of the supplement information Ysup, which
represent the first, second and third least significant bits of
the transform coefficients, thereby restoring the transform
coefficients. The restored transform coefficients are output to
an Hadamard inverse transformer 8 to obtain an image signal.

Abstract: A cable network is constituted such that
interconnectable, passive 4-terminal star couplers are
connected to each other via optical fiber cables and a bi-directional
optical relay amplifier. Cells each constituted by
using free space transmission light are integrated by the cable
network. An optical signal transmitted from or directed to a
mobile station in a cell is linked to the cable network via an
optical relay amplifier, which provides interface between free
space transmission light and guided light. Even in a case
where a barrier interposed between two mobile stations prevents
a direct communication between those stations, a collision
between those stations can be detected by a collision detection
proxy server having functions of collision detection according
to the principle of code transition rule violation and jamming
signal transmission. A communication between those stations
can be realized by connecting, to the cable network, a relay
proxy server having a packet relay and transmitting function.

Title: Memory system including an on-chip temperature sensor for regulating the refresh rate of a dram array
Inventor: IRRINKI SWAMY V
IPC: G11C11/406
Filed: 1997-12-17
Abstract: A DRAM memory array including a temperature sensor for adjusting a refresh
rate depending upon temperature. The DRAM memory array includes a plurality of
memory cells, each configured to allow storage and retrieval of more than two discrete
memory states. A refresh circuit is coupled to the memory array for periodically
refreshing the discrete storage state of each memory cell. The temperature sensor is
situated on the same semiconductor die upon which the memory array is fabricated, and
generates a signal indicative of the temperature of the semiconductor die. A control
circuit receives the signal from the temperature sensor and responsively generates a
refresh rate signal which is provided to control the refresh rate of the refresh circuit. In
one specific implementation, a ROM look-up table is coupled to the control circuit and
includes a plurality of entries which indicate the desired refresh rates for particular
temperatures. By controlling the refresh rate dependent upon the temperature of the
semiconductor die, proper state retention is ensured within each of the memory cells
while allowing performance to be optimized.

IPC: B60C23/06
Filed: 1997-02-05
Abstract: A method of detecting a deflated tyre on a vehicle 
by comparing the rolling radii of the tyres by means 
of comparing angular velocity speed signal values 
C1, C2, C3 and C4 from wheel speed sensors on wheels 
1-4 at the left-hand front, right-hand front, left-hand 
rear and right-hand rear wheel position 
respectively, comprising the step of calculating an 
error value DEL' in normal driving by processing the 
four angular velocity speed signal values C1-C4 in a 
central process unit (10) which subtracts the sum of 
the signal values from one pair of diagonally 
opposite wheels from the sum of the signal values 
from the other pair of diagonally opposite wheels 
and expressing the results as a percentage of the 
mean of the sums 
 DEL' = (C1+C4-C2-C3) x 50/((C1+C2+C3+C4)/4),   
the step of sensing when the magnitude of the error 
value DEL' is between a DEL' min value of 0.05 and a 
DEL' max value of 0.5 and when it is carrying out 
the step of deciding which tyre is apparently 
deflated by comparison of the angular velocity speed 
signal values C1-C4 with each other, and finally  
 
operating a tyre warning indicator in the vehicle to 
warn the driver that that particular tyre is 
deflated, characterised by determining from the 
wheel speed signal values C1-C4 the vehicle speed 
SPD wherein 
 SPD = (C1+C2+C3+C4)/(4 x KPHFAC)   
and wherein KPHFAC is a constant representing the 
number of wheel speed signals per wheel speed sensor 
per unit of speed, deriving a corrected error value 
DEL by dividing the error value DEL' by a correction 
factor SPDELCOR related to the vehicle speed SPD and 
using the corrected error value DEL in place of the 
error value DEL' to warn of a deflated tyre.
