Abstract: A spatulated needle is provided wherein a six-sided cross-sectional portion results from a parallel or tapered pair of upper and lower surfaces (14, 16) connected by needle walls (20a, 20b) and a pair of fluted edges (18a,18b). At the tapered end of the needle, the upper surface (14) alternates resulting in a five-sided cross-section (16, 18a, 18b, 20a, 20b). This improved configuration results in ease of tissue penetration, minimized tissue distortion, and minimized wound trauma. The resultant needle therefore is desirable for usage with refined surgery such as ophthamology, microsurgery and plastic surgery.

Abstract: A pressure sensor circuit has a bridge circuit of strain gauges (101-104) formed on a silicon diaphragm with two output terminals. The difference in the voltage between the two output terminals is dependent on the pressure applied to the strain gauges. A differential amplifier circuit having an operational amplifier (207) and a feedback circuit amplifies the difference between the two output terminals. A temperature dependent resistor (56) in the feedback circuit provides temperature compensation. An adjustable resistor (21) adjusts the sensitivity of the pressure sensor circuit. Temperature dependent resistors (54,55) connected between the operational amplifier and reference voltages compensate for zero point temperature fluctuations, and adjustable resistors (22,23) connected between the operational amplifier and the reference voltages adjust the zero point.

Abstract: During the conversion of sections of an image present in digitally coded form and containing text into digitally coded text, a relation is established between the addresses of the storage areas which contain the image sections and those of the storage areas which contain text sequences corresponding to these sections, which relation enables one to be identified on the basis of the other one. This is used, for example, for selectively converting text contained in sections selected on the screen into digitally coded text or for retrieving image information on the basis of the corresponding text which is more easily retrieved.

Abstract: Coextrusion apparatus for varying the outer profile of a generally tubular extrudate formed by merging inner and outer streams of elastomeric material by varying the size of the annular outer extrusion die opening by an axially moveable die ring which varies the flow of the outer stream of elastomeric material which is deposited on the outer surface of the tubular extrudate. The die ring is formed on the end of a hydraulically moveable piston and is axially slideably moved along and is located concentrically about the tubular extrudate. A first annular tapered surface of the die ring moves along a similar tapered surface of a fixed conical-shaped die pin to vary the size of the outer extrusion orifice formed therebetween. A second surface, oppositely tapered to that of the first tapered surface of the die ring and formed integrally therewith as a one-piece member, communicates with the flow channel of the outer elastomeric material stream and continuously compensates for a change in pressure within the outer flow stream caused by varying the flow volume of the outer stream at a location generally adjacent the application of the outer stream on the outer surface of the tubular extrudate. A reinforcing guide directs a plurality of fiber-type reinforcing elements into the tubular extrudate generally at the merger of the inner and outer streams of elastomeric material. A method for varying the outer profile of the tubular extrudate is also presented.

Abstract: The lamp ballasting apparatus disclosed herein is of the high-frequency switching type which operates from a DC supply and effects pulse-width modulation to control the level of energization of the lamp. A common mode choke interposed between the lamp and the modulating means provides a series inductance opposing rapid common mode changes in the currents flowing through the lamp leads. A fast semiconductor switch is interposed in the lamp circuit. A current transformer inductively linked to the lamp leads generates a control signal having an amplitude which is a function of the difference of the currents flowing in the leads and this control signal operates the switch when the current difference rises above a preselected level indicating an arcing condition.
