Abstract: A method and apparatus for mixing bone cement (96) which produces bone cement (96) essentially free of entrained air. The apparatus includes a cartridge (30) having two telescoping cylinders (44,46). The outer cylinder (44) receives a cap (32) thereon which hermetically seals the cartridge (30). The cap (32) includes an outlet port (62) in which a break-away agitator (34) is installed and a port (60) for connection of a vacuum pump (24). In use, a desired vacuum pressure is drawn on the cartridge (30) and the inner cylinder (46) is allowed to be drawn into the outer cylinder (44) while the vacuum is being drawn, whereupon the inner cylinder (46) automatically stops moving relative to the outer cylinder (44) when the desired vacuum pressure is reached. Mixing of the bone cement (96) is then performed under the partial vacuum thereby created. The agitator paddles (74) provide a scraping action against both inner cylinder walls of the telescoping cylinders (44,46) thereby improving mixing. After mixing, the agitator (34) is broken away, an appropriate nozzle (36) is attached to the cartridge (30) and the cartridge (30) is inserted into a cement gun. The leading portion of the bone cement (96) develops a convex profile when axially advanced through the cartridge (30) and the piston plug (48) includes a tapered protrusion (92) which generally corresponds to the profile of the bone cement (96). The cap (32) and paddles (74) are also shaped correspondingly to the convex profile developed by the bone cement (96), resulting in substantially all of the bone cement (96) being squeezed from the cartridge (30). An air escape passage (66) is also provided to vent air contained within an annular gap between the agitator shaft (70) and the cap (32) upon initial expulsion of bone cement (96), resulting in the bone cement (96) expelled from the cartridge (30) being essentially free from entrained air.

Abstract: An operating system independent distributed self-contained dynamic logic system enables EO functionality in small edge routers or progammable switches and provides the capability for EO switch enhanced functionality that is programmable from a remote location. The dynamic logic system may be implemented across several elements, including a subscriber database called a Service Control Point (SCP), a computer called a Service Management Point (SMP) for controlling and distributing programmable logic to implement EO features, and an Edge Switching Point (ESP) for interacting with a physical device (telephone/data endpoint). The dynamic logic system may be introduced at the "intercept" layer between the physical edge switching point device, typically a telephone interface, and a routing network. The routing network may be a packet switched network, a traditional Class-4 network, or an equivalent. This intercept receives inputs from both the device, and the routing network. The processing of these events, to create an application, is controlled by distributed logic. The distributed logic is managed by the SMP. The logic is activated by an operator, and is distributed for consumption. The logic is completely self-contained, requiring only subscriber data to execute, which is obtained on a call-by-call basis. EO switching functions such as playing tones, gathering digits, and routing calls, may be provided.

Abstract: An airbag construction utilizing welds, reinforced with sewn seams, to adhere two fabrics together to form an inflatable airbag cushion. Although welded seams provide better and more easily produced attachment points between multiple layers of fabrics, not to mention improved manners of reducing air or gas permeability at such attachment points, the utilization of sewn seams adjacent to such welded areas provides stronger reinforcement, and thus more reliable nonpermeable fabrics. Seam welding generally concerns the utilization of a film on the underside of a fabric which, upon contact with a second, film-treated fabric and upon exposure to high frequency energy, forms a bead of polymeric material at the attachment point between the two fabric layers. Lower numbers of sewn seams may be utilized to permit sufficient reinforcement if the size of the formed polymeric bead is of sufficient size to permit thorough sealing and adhesion between the fabric layers. Such a specific reinforced fabric, as well as high bead-size welded airbag fabrics are encompassed within this invention.

Abstract: A process for producing a tube target for cathode sputtering plants, in which the tube target is formed from a metallic inner tube (target holder) made of a first material with a first melting point of Ts1>=900 K and a metallic outer tube (target) that concentrically surrounds the inner tube and that is made of a second material with a second melting point of Ts2<=800 K. The inside diameter of the outer tube and the outside diameter of the inner tube are proportioned in such a way that the two tubes fit together tightly and are mechanically firmly joined. The outer tube is formed by casting the second material in a molten state in a heated, vertical, cylindrical permanent mold, which has a heated mandrel that constitutes the inner tube. After a space between the mold and the inner tube has been filled with the molten second material, a first thermal gradient develops between the inner tube and the mold, a second thermal gradient develops between the bottom and the top of the mold, and the outer tube is simultaneously cooled from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top.

Abstract: The device comprises oscillator circuits (11a,11b) containing semiconductor logic gates, in particular inverters, and interrupters connected to control the start and stop of run causing heating and cooling of components in order to generate random signals at outputs (13a,13b), which are combined by use of an exclusive-OR gate (20) to obtain the random signal output (15). In order to obtain the random signal without discontinuities the control means are utilized which include a counter (21) with output (21a) connected directly to the control input (12a) of the oscillator circuit (11a) and via an inverter (22) to the control input (12b) of the oscillator circuit (11b), in order to control in an alternating manner the heating and cooling of components. The oscillator circuit with a transient stop state comprises a semiconductor logic gate, means for the control of activity and/or stop of circuit, and a loop connecting output to input. The logic gate is an inverter, or an odd number of inverters. The control means are in the form of interrupters connected in the loop between the logic gate output and the circuit output. The counter (21) receives the oscillator signals, carries out decounting with as large modulus as possible, and the output with the most significant bit is used to control the logic gates in the oscillator circuits (11a,11b). The device is integrated in an application-specific or programmable integrated circuit.
