Abstract: A wound protector and retractor device (80) comprises a sleeve (2), a distal member provided by a distal ring (3) of resilient material and a proximal member provided by a proximal ring (4). The sleeve (2) is led around the ring (3) and is free to move axially relative to the distal ring (3) somewhat in the manner of a pulley. The proximal ring (4) is fixed to the sleeve (2), in this case at the proximal inner end thereof. The resilient distal ring (3) is scrunched up and inserted through the incision (6). The sleeve (2) is then pulled upwardly. On pulling of the sleeve (2) upwardly the outer layer (2b) is pulled up while the inner layer (2a) is drawn around the proximal ring (3). This results in shortening the axial extent between the proximal ring (4) and the distal ring (3), tensioning the sleeve and applying a retraction force to the margins of the incision (6). As the incision is being retracted the margins are also protected by the sleeve. The distal ring (3) is provided with a release mechanism, comprising a cord or ribbon (81), which is coupled at one end (82) to the distal ring (3) and terminates in an outer free end (83) which can be grasped by a user. Pulling the cord or ribbon (81) pulls the distal ring (3), allowing the ring to be released from the inner wall. of the incision (6) to thereby release the device (80).

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide system constitution of economical equipment by suppressing power consumption while securing reliability of a microwave wireless system having an in-use and a standby line.  <P>SOLUTION: When the equipment is normal and wireless propagation characteristics in space are stable after the system is actuated in normal hot standby mode, a master standby line mode control section 15 outputs a power-saving-mode setting signal and the standby line (a transmitter 3 and a receiver 5) is set to a power saving mode. When there is a sign thereafter that in-use equipment gets out of order or that the wireless propagation characteristics in space deteriorate, a master standby line mode control section 15 outputs a power-saving-mode reset signal and the standby line enters a hot standby mode to switch the system to a normal in-use/standby system. Further, when a BER value becomes worse than a set value, a line switching control section 13 outputs a line switching control signal to perform switching to the standby line in the host standby mode in a short time.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Abstract: The present invention relates to a supported catalyst system. The supported catalyst of the present invention comprises an inorganic support having attached to at least one surface thereof non-acidic, hydrophillic, hydroxyl-containing organic R10 groups having no or substantially no surface charge in solution, and at least one linker capable of binding a catalytic species, e.g. an enzyme or an organometallic molecule, wherein the linker is attached to a catalytic species. The R10 groups preferably are selected from the group consisting of —CH2OH, —CH(OH)2, —CH(OH)CH3, —CH2CH2OH, —CH(OH)2CH3, —CH2CH(OH)2, —CH(OH)CH2(OH) and mixtures thereof. The presence of the R10 groups on the support surface prevents or reduces non-specific binding of the catalytic species with the support surface by minimizing hydrophobic interactions and providing no or substantially no surface charge in the region of the support having catalytic species attached thereto. Simultaneously, the linker binds the catalytic species to the surface of the support in a manner which permits the catalytic species to be freely available for catalytic activity. Methods of catalyzing a reaction using the supported catalyst system of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shuttlecock comprising a conical crown ( 2 ) and a base ( 3 ) for hitting. In order to modify the flying characteristics, a preferably toroidal ring ( 4 ) which is made of an elastic material is mounted on the shuttlecock ( 1 ) in a biased state so as to surround the crown ( 2 ). Said ring is preferably retained in a fixed position by means of the rear limit of the base ( 3 ) and the forward zone ( 21 ) of the crown ( 2 ), rear and forward being in relation to the flying direction. The forward zone ( 21 ) of the crown ( 2 ) can be formed by stems ( 21 ), for example. Alternatively, several rings can be provided. The invention allows the flying characteristics of the birdie to be modified in a particularly simple and fast manner. The birdie can be made to fly in a more stable fashion by means of the weight of the ring, for example, resulting in greater speeds and ranges.

Abstract: For embedding binary payload in a carrier signal, which, for example, is an audio signal, a sequence of time-discrete values of the carrier signal is converted to the frequency domain by means of an integer transform algorithm to obtain binary spectral representation values. Bits of the binary spectral representation values with a valency less than signal limit valency are determined and set according to the payload. The signal limit valency for a spectral representation value is less than the valency of the leading bit of this spectral representation value, so that, with adequate distance, a psychoacoustic transparent insertion of information is achieved. Thus a modified spectral representation with inserted information is generated which is finally converted back to the time domain using an integer back transform algorithm. For extracting the payload, the time-discrete signal with the inserted information is again converted to a spectral representation with the integer forward transform algorithm. Furthermore, signal limit valency information is determined to identify the bits of the binary spectral representation values containing no information regarding the carrier signal, but information regarding the payload signal, to extract these bits. The inventive concept is simple in its implementation and may be scaled with respect to the data rate of the information to be inserted.

Abstract: Systems and method for optically imaging objects and in particular optical patterns or codes onto a detection device by a pinhole aperture are described. According to an embodiment of the invention these systems have optical attenuation elements between the illumination devices and the object which substantially compensate the system-inherent imaging detects caused by the pinhole aperture and in particular the system-inherent peripheral decrease in brightness of an image of the object formed by a pinhole aperture on the detection device. According to an embodiment of the invention, the optical attenuation elements change the illumination intensity of the object in such a manner that the central areas of the object are illuminated at a lower light intensity than its peripheral areas. As a result of the subsequent imaging of the object by a pinhole aperture, the central areas of the object are imaged onto the detection device at a higher light intensity than the peripheral areas of the object. The superimposition of the two effects enables the imaging system according to the invention to achieve a substantially uniform system-inherent brightness distribution on the detection device.
