Abstract: A muffler for quieting exhaust expelled from a pneumatic hand tool having a handle and an exhaust passage. The muffler includes an inner tube having a plurality of holes, a number of dividers fixedly and spacedly positioned about the inner tube, and an end cap attachable to the handle for closing off the exhaust passage. At least one of the end cap and the handle including an exit opening. The inner tube has distal and proximal ends and an exterior surface. A cutoff wall is located below at least one airflow opening. The cutoff wall forces exhaust air to exit the inner tube via the at least one airflow opening thereabove. Each divider extends outward from the inner tube exterior surface a distance less than the width of the main section. The combination of the inner tube and dividers are located within the main section. During hand tool use, exhaust air enters the inner tube proximal end, flows out the inner tube holes, moves around the number of dividers, and flows out the exit opening, the cutoff wall forcing exhaust air to exit the inner tube. The tortuous movement of the exhaust air slows it and assists in dampening any attendant noise. Alternative embodiments include an outer tube.

Abstract: Cette invention porte sur un dispositif de formation d'images couleur permettant de former une image révélée multicolore sur un support et d'améliorer l'efficacité du transfert secondaire d'un corps de transfert intermédiaire sur le support. Ce dispositif comprend : des unités de formation d'images (12-1 à 12-4) servant à former une image révélée multicolore sur au moins un support (14-1 à 14-4) d'image au moyen d'une pluralité de révélateurs (22-1 à 22-4) contenant respectivement des encres de couleurs différentes ; un corps de transfert intermédiaire (24) ; un élément (38-1 à 38-4) de transfert primaire permettant un transfert primaire séquentiel de l'image révélée multicolore, couleur par couleur, sur le corps de transfert intermédiaire ; et un élément de transfert secondaire (45) permettant un transfert secondaire de l'image révélée multicolore du corps de transfert intermédiaire sur le support. Les unités de formation d'images forment l'image révélée multicolore sur le corps de transfert intermédiaire (24) à l'aide de potentiels de couches d'encre graduellement abaissés dans l'ordre de transfert. Une couche d'encre directement déposée sur le transfert intermédiaire présente un potentiel plus élevé, ce qui simplifie son transfert secondaire, et renforce l'efficacité de transfert secondaire ainsi que la reproductibilité des couleurs secondaires.

Abstract: A balloon-free urinary catheter (15) comprising a tubular retention section (15A) shaped to locate in the neck of a patient's bladder and a tubular drainage section (15B) which, in use, is received in the patient's urethra. The retention section (15A) has a diameter which is normally greater than the neck of the bladder (2) but is stretchable on the application of an axial force thereto to reduce its diameter to less than that of the urethra (3). This allows the catheter to pass through the urethra until the retention section (15A) is positioned inside the bladder where it expands and returns to its original size on release of the axial force and locates in the neck of the bladder to form a seal therewith.

Abstract: A bandpass SIGMADELTA ADC utilizing either a single-loop or a MASH architecture wherein the resonators are implemented as either a delay cell resonator, a delay cell based resonator, a Forward-Euler resonator, a two-path interleaved resonator, or a four-path interleaved resonator. The resonator can be synthesized with analog circuit techniques such as active-RC, gm-C, MOSFET-C, switched capacitor, or switched current. The switched capacitor or switched current circuits can be designed using single-sampling, double-sampling, or multi-sampling circuits. The non-stringent requirement of a SIGMADELTA ADC using switched capacitor circuits allows the ADC to be implemented in a CMOS process to minimize cost and reduce power consumption. Double-sampling circuits provide improved matching and improved tolerance to sampling clock jitter. In particular, a bandpass MASH 4-4 SIGMADELTA ADC provides a simulated signal-to-noise ratio of 85 dB at an oversampling ratio of 32 for a CDMA application. The bandpass SIGMADELTA ADC can also be used in conjunction with undersampling to provide a frequency downconversion.

Abstract: A power management system permits power-reduced operation of selected circuit blocks in a manner that requires no modification to other bus-coupled circuit blocks attempting to communicate with such selected circuit blocks. Consistent with one embodiment of the present invention, the approach is implemented in a digital electronic circuit arrangement having an accessing circuit block coupled to a clocked circuit block over a data bus. The clocked circuit block is power managed by decreasing, e.g., reducing or blocking, the clock speed to the clocked circuit block which impedes its ability communicate over the data bus. Once the clocked circuit block is set in a reduced power mode, the bus is monitored for data-access communications from the accessing circuit block to the clocked circuit block. In response to such a communication, a substitute response is generated on the data bus, directed to the accessing circuit block, and the clock speed to the clocked circuit block, is increased and brought out of the reduced power mode for further communications with the accessing circuit block.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a dynamic mapping of channel numbers to physical frequencies for some cells of a cellular telephone system, for use in case of a cellular telephone system representing physical frequencies by channel numbers and providing a fixed mapping of channel numbers to physical frequencies. The method includes a step of providing an information element indicating the dynamic mapping, and is performed in a way that is compatible with an existing channel numbering space, thereby keeping unchanged any existing signaling messages. The method also provides for a change in a dynamic mapping: a duplicated mapping is broadcast in which two non-overlapping sets of channel numbers are both mapped at least in part to a same frequency block, the broadcasting being continued for a predetermined time assumed to be of sufficient extent that any mobile phones operating in the cells will have decoded the duplicated mapping.

Abstract: Interference between collocated wireless devices sharing the same RF channel is avoided or minimized by a new header format provided for the first data packet in an RF transmission. By inclusion of an invalid pulse in the header of each isolated data packet, an FM receiver that "captures" a desired signal from a closest device, midstream of processing an undesired signal (pertubation) from a more distant collocated device, is caused to abort the invalid packet and reinitialize. The receiver is then able to properly process the first packet in the desired transmission (from the closest device).
