Granted: 2008-09-02
Abstract: Twin roll casting of metal strip (20) by rotation of parallel casting rolls (16) supplied with molten metal through distributor (19a) and delivery nozzle (19b). X-ray scanner (44) continuously scans the thickness of strip (20) to produce a signal which is a continuous measure of thickness variation along the strip due to eccentricities of the casting rolls (16). This signal controls operation of roll drive motors (53) to impose a pattern of speed variation on the rolls so as to reduce the amplitude of the thickness variations.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a power control signal in a mobile communication system. By altering the power control subchannel, the method reduces the del ay between power measurement and power control by one power control group (PCG) in comparison with the conventional method. The power control subchannel is moved within the power control group so that a time equal to generating the power control bit is before the power control bit and a time equal to the su m of the propagation delay between base station and mobile station and the tim e needed to perform gain control is after the power control bit.

Abstract: A writing instrument (10) having an elongated barrel (12) comprised of an outer portion and an inner portion (22), rotatable relative one to the other. The point or writing tip (30) is fixed to the barrel inner portion (22), disposed at an angle to, and may be offset from, the centerline of the barrel outer portion. The barrel inner portion is caus ed to rotate and move axially relative to the barrel outer portion by pressure on the writing instrument or weights (34, 35, 36) attached to th e barrel inner portion to bring the point into desired alignment during the writing process. Further pressure on the point or writing tip causes the barrel inner portion to move to a rearwardmost position at which rotation of the point or writing tip is impeded by a gripping structure (144, 214).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a blank for producing artificial dental crowns (28) and/or dental bridges (38) which can fit on at least one prepared stump (10). The three-dimensional outer and inner surfaces (20, 22) of a positive model (46) of the base frame (14) for the dental crowns (28) and/or for the dental bridges (38) are scanned and digitized. The determined data is linearly expanded around a factor (f), said factor exactly compensating the sinter shrinkage, in all spatial directions. The data is also transmitted to the control electronics of at least one processing machine for processing the blank (48) made of porous ceramic, and the appropriate tool paths are derived therefrom. Material which is temporally decoupled from the digitization is removed from the blank (48) by means of control commands for the tools. Said material is removed until an enlarged finished form of the positive model (46, 47) is produced. This enlarged base frame is tightly sintered to the base frame (14) with direct final measures. Finally, the base frame (14) is individualized by enameling with a coating material (24) made of porcelain or plastic. An information code which is provided for the enlargement factor (f) and which can be detected by a mechanical or human sense organ is placed on the ceramic blank, the packaging thereof, a label or on an instruction

Abstract: A device and method for electrical stimulation of a portion of the gastro- intestinal tract, defining a longitudinal axis. A proximal and at least one distal electrode set are arranged circumferentially about the portion of the gastro-intestinal tract in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and in axially spaced relationship relative to each other. At least one power source provides a variable electrical stimulus to the electrode sets sufficient to stimulate the smooth muscle to produce a local circumferential contraction at each electrode set, wherein the electrical stimulus is variable between each of the proximal and distal electrode sets. A timing mechanism phase locks the electrical stimulus such that it is applied to the electrode sets successively, preferably in an overlapping manner, and repetitively. The axially spaced relationship between the electrode sets and the timing of the electrical stimulus are selected such that the local circumferential contractions are artificially propagated distally through the portion of the gastro-intestinal tract.

Abstract: An implantable microvolt-level signal amplifying circuit may be used for resolving electrical signals generated by nerves in the presence of larger amplitude signals generated by muscles, the heart, or external noise sources. The circuit has a low-noise, high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) preamplifier, followed by a cascade of stages, which provide filtering and further amplification of the neural signal. The band-pass amplifying circuit can also present high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). The output is offset-compensated by a DC restoration stage. Nerve protection circuitry minimizes or blocks DC current flow through the input terminals in the event of semiconduc- tor failure in the preamplifier. The circuit may be incorporated onto a common monolithic circuit with follow-up circuitry for controlling Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) devices.
