Abstract: Retracting needle syringe (20) includes barrel (22) having chamber (24), open proximal end (25) and open distal end (26). The plunger has an elongated cavity (34) in its distal end and a sealing cover element (35). Needle assembly (40) includes needle cannula (41) having inner hub with distal end connected so that the lumen is in fluid communication with the chamber. A flange on the inner hub is connected to an outer hub and a spring is contained between the hubs. A release element is movably connected to the flange and has a sharp proximal end projecting into the chamber. Distal motion of the plunger causes the sharp proximal end to cut through the cover element and the release element to dissociate an outer portion of the flange from an inner portion of the flange allowing the spring to expand and move the needle cannula into the cavity.

Abstract: A latch (10) having a housing (12, 14, 16, 18) to which a ratchet (38) is pivotably mounted by a rivet (40) for rotation about a first axis between a latched and unlatched configuration. A slot (44) extents through the latch and has a first arcuate portion (100) and a first radial portion (102). A pawl assembly (48, 58, 60, 70) has a roller (48) extending through the slot (44).

Abstract: A seat assembly for a vehicle having a seat cushion and an seat back pivotally connected to the seat cushion for movement between a plurality of reclined seating positions and a forwardly dumped position. A track assembly has a pair of upper tracks mounted to the seat cushion and a pair of lower tracks mounted to the floor of the vehicle. The upper tracks are slidably coupled to the lower tracks for providing sliding movement of the seat assembly between a full forward position and a full rearward position. A locking mechanism is operatively coupled to the upper and lower tracks for movement between a locked position interlocking the tracks and an unlocked position allow sliding movement therebetween. A cam plate is pivotally coupled to one of the upper tracks for movement between a non-actuated position spaced from the locking mechanism and a actuated position engaged with the locking mechanism for maintaining the locking mechanism in the unlocked position in response to pivotal movement of the seat back from the reclined seating position to the forwardly dumped position. A trigger arm interlocks with the cam plate in the actuated position to maintain the locking mechanism in the unlocked position and allow sliding movement of the seat assembly to a forwardly extended position beyond the full forward seating position. A trigger tab engages the trigger arm when the seat is returned from the forwardly extended position to the full rearward position to release the cam plate to the non-actuated position and allow the locking mechanism to return to the locked position interlocking the upper and lower tracks and preventing further sliding movement therebetween.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de formation d'un dispositif à semi-conducteur qui permet de réduire au minimum le retrait d'oxyde dans la tranchée d'un dispositif à semi-conducteur. Dans un des modes de réalisation, la formation d'une structure d'espacement au nitrure autour de l'oxyde au bord de la tranchée supérieure dans une région d'isolement de tranchée peu profonde protège l'oxyde du bord de l'attaque chimique lors du traitement. Le retrait d'oxyde dans la tranchée est indésirable puisqu'il provoque d'une part des champs électriques élevés autour des bords supérieures tranchants des tranchées et d'autre part l'atténuation progressive de la vitesse Vt des transistors. Selon un mode de réalisation exemple, on masque les régions d'isolement de tranchées peu profondes (STI) remplies avec un oxyde à plasma de haute densité (HDP) ayant subies la planarisation. Le masquage recouvre sensiblement l'oxyde HDP et recouvre partiellement au moins certaines parties des régions de nitrure. Les surfaces non masquées des régions de nitrure sont attaquées chimiquement de façon à former des structures d'espacement au nitrure des deux côtés de la charge d'oxyde HDP.

Abstract: Proposed is a method and a device configuration for determining the corneal thickness of an eye, in particular of a human eye, by means of light rays. First light rays are projected onto and into the cornea, and second light rays, reflected by the cornea, are registered for determining the corneal thickness. A contact element, which is preferably plane-parallel, is placed on the contact area of the cornea, and the first light rays are projected through the contact element onto and into the cornea. The contact element is fixed on the cornea, for example. The first light rays are projected at least in points in a two-dimensional measuring area of the flattened area onto and into the cornea, and the corneal thickness is determined at one or more places of the measuring area.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for removing sulfur compounds including sulfur in the (-2) oxidation state such as mercaptans, dialkyl sulfides, carbonyl sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, thiophenes and benzothiophenes, from liquid or gas feed streams, particularly hydrocarbon feed streams such as, for example, natural gas and refinery process streams. According to the process, such a feed stream including these sulfur impurities is contacted with an absorbent which includes a metal ion-containing organic composition such as, for example, iron, copper, lead, nickel, tin, zinc or mercury cation-containing phthalocyanine or porphyrin to thereby form sulfur-metal cation coordination complexes in which the oxidation state of the sulfur and the metal cation remains essentially unchanged. The complexes are separated from the feed stream, and the absorbent is regenerated by disassociating the sulfur compound from the complexes.
