Patent EP-1253495-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YANOSIK EDWARD MICHAEL JR
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: A method and system for assessing whether adjustment factors used in a
process for testing or monitoring an operational system need to be updated or
changed (101), as well as changing and updating these adjustment factors if
needed or desired. At least one current adjustment factor is selected (103),
along with the relevant data. The relevant data is then analyzed (104) to
generate results that are collected (105) so that a determination can be made
(106) as to whether the current adjustment factor(s) needs to be changed. If
it is determined that the current adjustment factor(s) needs to be changed, an
updated adjustment factor(s) is provided (108) to replace it. Preferably, the
updated adjustment factor(s) is validated (109) before incorporating (110) it
into the testing or monitoring process.

IPC: A61B17/04

Abstract: An instrument (2) for arthroscopic suture passing having a shaft (4) with a
proximal end and a distal end. A jaw (8) disposed on the distal end has a needle (16) and a hook.
The jaw opens and closes with respect to a stationary distal tip of the instrument. A
handle (6) disposed on the proximal end manipulates the jaw. A movable suture shuttle is
disposed in the distal tip of the instrument. Arthroscopic suture passing takes place by
initially loading a length of suture into the suture shuttle, and capturing the suture by
moving the suture shuttle away from a position in which it would engage the needle and
hook. The needle then is advanced through tissue using the handle to close the jaw
against the stationery tip. The suture shuttle then is advanced to load the suture onto the
hook. Opening the jaw draws the needle back through the tissue, pulling the suture in a
loop through the tissue. A spring arm urges tissue off of the needle. The loop of suture
then is available for further suturing or knot tying.

Abstract: A lighting device (RH) for a vehicle includes multiple light emitting devices (10, 20). Each light emitting device (10, 20) is constructed of a light emitting diode (11, 21) as a light source and a light guide lens (13, 23) for guiding light emitted from the light emitting diode (11, 21). The light emitting devices (10, 20) are formed in convex light emitting devices (10) and fan-shaped light emitting devices (20). The convex devices (10) and the fan-shaped devices (20) have different light distribution characteristics. Therefore, light distribution areas and intensity of the lighting device (RH) are more flexibly adjusted than other lighting devices using light emitting diodes as a light source.

Abstract: A steering control device (200) is provided with a end-of-movement reaction
force generation unit (an end reaction force control portion (20)). An end reaction
force generating current i 2  which act as return a handle toward a straight-ahead
position is rapidly generated in the vicinity of an upper and a lower limit of a vehicle
wheel steering range. For example, a reaction force motor (4) may be additionally
commanded using a newly generated command current i 2 . Accordingly, an output
torque of the reaction force motor (4) becomes proportional to a new command value
i n  of an Equation i n  = i 1  + i 2 , where i 1  is a current command of a reaction force control
portion (5). As a result of configuring the end-of-movement reaction force generation
unit is this manner, for example, it is possible to generate a virtual contact resistance
force (a steering reaction force) for a steering angle  without causing heat build-up,
or the like, of a motor, when no physical limit (an end-of-movement of contact point)
is provided for a rotation range of a steering wheel (handle).

Abstract: An optical scanning device 65 is adapted to bring a deflector mirror
plane 651 into independent pivotal motions about a first axis and a second
axis perpendicular to each other. A mirror driver section including a first
axis driver and a second axis driver is so controlled as to bring the
deflector mirror plane 651 into pivotal motion about the first axis thereby
deflecting a light beam L for scanning along a main scan direction. On
the other hand, the deflector mirror plane 651 is pivotally moved about the
second axis thereby to adjust the scanned beam L for its position on a
photosensitive member 2 with respect to a subscan direction. Thus, even
if the scanned beam is deviated from a reference scan position with respect
to the subscan direction due to component tolerances or assembly errors,
such a deviation can be corrected.
