Abstract: A method is disclosed for managing an electronic mail basket service within a distributed computing system. A master electronic mail basket (42) is established at each server machine (18)for each user served by that server machine within the distributed computing systems. A duplicate or "shadow" electronic mail basket (44) corresponding to the master electronic mail basket is then established at each requester machine (16). In this manner a user may quickly access his or her mail basket without the retrieval delay necessary to establish a server machine connection and obtain the contents of the mail basket. Changes in either the master electronic mail basket or a corresponding shadow electronic mail basket are automatically and periodically reconciled whenever the server machine connection is available. In the event multiple users are permitted to access the same electronic mail basket, shadow electronic mail baskets are established for each of the multiple users and changes entered at any shadow electronic mail basket are automatically reconciled with the corresponding master electronic mail basket as well as with all other shadow electronic mail baskets which correspond thereto. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, changes which occur in a shadow electronic mail basket automatically generate an audible and/or visual notification (48) to the user of the requester machine associated therewith.

Abstract: An electromagnetic heating device for heating a living body or an object (15), comprising a cavity resonator (11) made of hollow electroconductive material for receiving a living body or an object (15) therein and heating same by a high frequency electromagnetic field produced therein; and at least an electric field concentrator (14a, 14b) disposed in the cavity resonator (11) separately therefrom. Thus, it is possible to concentrate an electric field to a desired location to supply a strong current into a living body or an object (15). Further, since the electric field concentrator (14a, 14b) is electrically out of contact with the cavity resonator (11), a frequency adjusting element (17a, 17b) and an impedance matching element (19) may be easily provided in the vicinity for optimum transmission of high frequency electromagnetic energy thereby eliminating the need for adjusting the frequency of the high frequency electromagnetic energy source. Since an oscillator without the capability to change its frequency can be manufactured at a fraction of the cost for manufacturing a variable frequency oscillator, the cost of the overall heating device can be drastically reduced. By shaping the free end of the electric field concentrator (14a, 14b), it is possible to achieve a desired degree of energy concentration.

Abstract: A fast atom beam source comprises a evacuated cylinder, an anode set at one end or an intermediate portion of the cylinder, a cathode with fast atom emission orifices on it, and set at the other end of the cylinder, and a DC high voltage power supply for generating gas discharge by applying a high voltage between the anode and the cathode. A slit is provided on inside wall of the cylinder and a reservoir for oil or low-melting point metal is connected to the slit. A heater is set on the reservoir for vapourizing the oil or low-melting point metal. It supplies vapor of oil or low-melting point metal into the cylinder. Many ions of oil or low melting point metal are generated in glow through gas (the oil, vapor or the metal vapor) discharge by high voltage applying. They are accelerated towards the cathode. Then, they are neutralized after collision with the vapor of oil or low-melting point metal remaining near the cathode and are emitted from the orifices on the cathode. They constitute a fast atom beam. During such operation, the vapor of oil or low-melting point metal enters the cylinder through the slit and maintains an equilibrium condition of gas density in the cylinder. Thus, an automatic supply of the gas consumed as a fast atom beam is effected without any gas feeding device or any gas adjusting device.

Abstract: A fixation screw for securing a bone graft of a tendon section in place in a ligament tunnel is formed from a biocompatible plastic or bioabsorbable material. The tendon section is used to replace a ligament and has a tendon section attached at each end to bone grafts. The fixation screw is tightened between the bone graft and bone surrounding the ligament tunnel to secure the bone graft in place by forcing it against the bone surrounding the ligament tunnel. The material is soft compared to bone so that threads of the fixation screw do not cut into the bone graft or bone surrounding the ligament tunnel when the fixation screw is tightened. The fixation screw is formed to have integral instrumentation. A body is molded or fabricated as one piece from the material and has a threaded end, formed as an interference screw, and a relatively thicker handle portion connected to each other. The handle portion forms the integral instrumentation in that it is grasped to turn the fixation screw to tighten it. The threaded end is inserted between the bone graft and bone surrounding the ligament tunnel. The handle is turned to tighten the threaded end between the bone graft and surrounding bone. After the fixation screw has been tightened, the portion of the fixation screw which extends beyond the surface of the bone at which the ligament tunnel opens is trimmed off, leaving all surfaces flush.

Abstract: An artificial neural network is provided using a digital architecture having feedforward (40) and feedback processors (52) interconnected with a digital computation ring or data bus to handle complex neural feedback arrangements. The feedforward processor receives a sequence of digital input signals and multiplies each by a weight in a predetermined manner and stores the results in an accumulator (48). The accumulated values may be shifted around the computation ring and read from a tap point thereof, or reprocessed through the feedback processor with predetermined scaling factors and combined with the feedforward outcomes for providing various types neural network feedback computations. Alternately, the feedforward outcomes may be placed sequentially on a data bus for feedback processing through the network. The digital architecture includes a predetermined number of data input terminals (12) for the digital input signal irrespective of the number of synapses per neuron and the number of neurons per neural network, and allows the synapses to share a common multiplier (44) and thereby reduce the physical area of the neural network. A learning circuit (80) may be utilized in the feedforward processor for real-time updating the weights thereof to reflect changes in the environment.
