Abstract: Une machine automatique d'installation d'éléments d'assemblage alimente en éléments d'assemblage un dispositif d'insertion desdits éléments et détecte l'orientation, ainsi que la dimension de l'élément d'assemblage dans le dispositif d'insertion avant d'insérer ledit élément dans un perçage d'une pièce, afin de déterminer si l'élément d'assemblage correctement dimensionné est orienté de façon appropriée dans le dispositif d'insertion. Une structure de support maintient la pièce en place sous le dispositif d'insertion et la machine se déplace vers la position suivante d'insertion de l'élément d'assemblage, tandis qu'un dispositif d'alimentation apporte un élément d'assemblage à un dispositif de support dudit élément. Un système de visualisation crée une image de l'élément d'assemblage dans le dispositif de support et compare des points prédéterminés de l'image à des points prédéterminés correspondants qui seraient produits par le système de visualisation d'une image d'un élément d'assemblage dimensionné et orienté correctement dans le support, puis émet un signal destiné à la machine automatique d'installation de l'élément d'assemblage, afin qu'elle continue son cycle quand elle détermine qu'un élément d'assemblage présentant une dimension correcte est positionné de façon adéquate dans le dispositif de support.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE96/00520 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 5, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 5, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 25, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/30723 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 3, 1996A first value (V), which corresponds to the angular units covered during two actual position values successively transmitted via the data transmission link at the maximum rotational speed of the encoder shaft (W), and a second value (D) which corresponds to the difference between the maximum travel of the angular position encoder (MAX) and the first value (V), are stored in a store. A processing unit determines the direction of rotation of the shaft (W) depending on whether two actual position values (X11, X12; X21, X22; X31, X32) lie in the range between the zero point (NP) of the angular position encoder and an actual position value (L2) corresponding to the magnitude of the first stored value (V), or in the range between an actual position value (L1) corresponding to the magnitude of the second stored value (D) and the maximum travel (MAX), or outside these ranges. The invention has the advantage that, in spite of the possible occurrence of unexpected or fault-induced large changes in magnitude in the detected actual angular position values, the direction of rotation of the shaft of the angular position encoder can be ascertained correctly in each case.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de suppression active du bruit pourvu d'une pluralité de rangées (50, 77) de capteurs d'erreurs. Ce système fournit des signaux par l'intermédiaire de lignes (64-74, 90-100) à une logique (76) de mise en forme et d'orientation de faisceaux, de façon à faire produire des profils de réponse acoustique (104, 106) par les rangées de capteurs respectives (50, 77). Ces profils (104, 106) se croisent dans une zone spécifique (116) à rendre silencieuse. La logique (76) fournit des signaux via les lignes (118), à raison d'un signal pour chaque zone à rendre silencieuse, à une logique (20) de suppression active du bruit ou 'logique ANC'. Cette logique ANC, qui reçoit également des signaux d'entrée en provenance de microphones de précompensation (10), délivre à des haut-parleurs acoustiques (24) des signaux de sortie de façon à générer un antibruit (26) annulant le bruit dans la zone (116) de silence. L'orientation des faisceaux (104, 108) permet de positionner sélectivement en n'importe quel point de la pièce cette zone de silence (116). Selon une autre réalisation, le système peut comporter une pluralité de capteurs répartis qui, pris dans leur ensemble, donnent une réponse acoustique globale (lobe principal) qui est maximale dans une zone de silence spécifique sélectionnable.

Date Mar. 20, 1997The invention relates to novel dimaleinimido-substituted dihydroxyalkanes, to a process for their preparation as well as to their use as cross-linking reagents, e.g. in analytical methods. A disadvantage of the cleavable bismaleinimido derivatives used so far, which react with SH groups, is that the subsequent cleavage of the cross-linking reagents from the proteins must take place in acidic or alkaline media. The objective of the invention is to prepare novel cleavable cross-linking reagents which react with SH groups or proteins and which form cross-links which can be cleaved under mild conditions not requiring strongly acidic or basic media. This objective is sought through the preparation and use of dimaleinimido-substituted dihydroxyalkanes having the general formula I where n=1 to 6, preferably 1 or 2.

Abstract: The method involves forming smoothed images from a digital image using a number of different scales. The pixels at the edges of each smoothed image are extracted. Median potential pixels associated with the centre of a circle related to the scales by a constant of proportionality are extracted. The median potential pixels are used to ensure the centre of the circle and the pixels at the edges of the image are aligned. The median value pixels are extracted by a first selection of pixels using the smoothed images. A second extraction of the median value pixels is performed according to the direction of image alignment. The extracted median potential pixels are used to form a 'skeleton' for the image object.

Abstract: An implantable cardioverter/defibrillator device is implemented to be selectively non-invasively upgraded from time to time after implantation to enable the device to provide additional therapy for arrhythmia treatment as the patient's need for such treatment undergoes change. The device is adapted to provide a plurality of functions corresponding to different levels of therapy for treating arrhythmias, and to respond to each different type of arrhythmia that may be sensed, to supply a function which is designated as being appropriate to relieve that respective arrhythmia. Each function is not necessarily unique to treating a particular arrhythmia, and, in at least some instances, may be used to treat more than one of the plurality of different types of arrhythmias. At the time of its implant, the device is restricted from providing those of the plurality of functions which are deemed as being non-essential to the patient's needs at that time. From time to time thereafter, however, as the patient experiences periodic need for additional therapy, restricted functions of the device are selectively restored by external programming, but only if the programmer is able to supply to the device an enabling code which is substantially unique to that device. In this way, restoration of the restricted functions is locked out except with a prescribed key.
