Abstract: The invention relates to a safety switching system for a clamping device used for holding and/or lowering and raising a line of pipes (13) lining a borehole. Said safety switching system is mounted inside the clamping device, where it is protected from external mechanical influences. To this end, a shift cam (18) for a safety shift valve (1, 2) is fastened to the clamping wedge support (14a, 14b) of the clamping device. This valve is mounted on the base (10) of the clamping device, and cooperates with the shift cam when the clamping wedges (12a, 12b) adopt their prescribed clamping position on the line of pipes.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à des techniques visant à réaliser un mode d'émission compatible avec un appareil de correction auditive de poste mobile d'un système de communication radio. En réglant une enveloppe d'émission d'un poste mobile qui émet des informations par rafales, on évite des harmoniques qui seraient normalement introduites dans un appareil de correction auditive placé tout contre le poste mobile. La modification de l'enveloppe d'émission permet une meilleure progressivité de la montée et de la baisse de puissance dans l'émetteur, ce qui évite d'introduire des harmoniques dans les fréquences basses. Ce service peut être fourni au niveau du système de façon à éviter de réduire inutilement la capacité du système en faisant authentifier, par exemple, l'identité d'un utilisateur, son abonnement à ce mode de fonctionnement, l'aptitude du poste mobile à modifier l'enveloppe d'émission conformément à la présente invention, et le désir de l'utilisateur d'instaurer réellement le mode de fonctionnement compatible avec un appareil de correction auditive.

Abstract: A surgical stapling device is described which comprises a shaft (6) with a hollow channel running throughout its length which terminates at its distal end in front of a surgical staple which is housed in the distal end of the stapling device. Closure of a puncture can be achieved after the stapler has been brought into position over a guidewire (1) which has previously been placed into the blood vessel (5) via a percutaneous approach (15, 4). The exact site of the stapling device in relation to the puncture site may be confirmed by advancing a blood vessel puncture site locator tube (2) over the guidewire running through the shaft of the stapler and into the blood vessel puncture site (14). Backflow of blood will be observed. Following either withdrawal of the locator tubing or leaving it in place over the guidewire, the staple is deployed into the walls of the artery (9), and after approximating its opposite walls, is automatically ejected from the stapler. The stapler is then removed from the percutaneous tract over the guidewire which itself is removed when haemostasis is observed.

Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: An apparatus and method for image data compression performs a modified zero-tree coding on a range of absolute image values from the largest to a determined smaller absolute value, based upon file size or quality. If it is desired to maintain more detail in the image, then a vector quantizer codes the remaining values below this determined smaller value to zero, and lossless entropy coding is performed on the results of the two coding steps. The determined smaller value can be adjusted by examination of the histogram of the tree, or iteratively to meet a preselected compressed image size criterion or to meet a predefined level of image quality, as determined by any suitable metric. If the image to be compressed is in RGB color space, the apparatus converts the RGB image to a less redundant color space before commencing further processing.
