Abstract: In order to improve the efficiency of an X-ray generator, to decrease the number of maintenance men required for an X-ray CT apparatus mounting the X-ray generator, to improve the reliability and to decrease the installation space, the X-ray generator comprises power transfer means for receiving electric power from an AC power source and for transferring it, a converter for converting an AC voltage transferred from the power transfer means into a DC voltage, an inverter for converting the DC voltage of the converter into an alternating current, a high-voltage transformer for boosting the AC voltage converted by the inverter, rectifier means for rectifying the output voltage of the high-voltage transformer into a direct current, and an X-ray tube connected to the rectifier means. The X-ray generator is mounted on a scanner rotating unit of the X-ray CT apparatus. The converter comprises a full-wave rectifier circuit constituted by self-extinguishing switches, inductors connected to the phases at the AC input terminals of the full-wave rectifier circuit, and a converter controller which so controls the self-extinguishing switches that the phase is brought into agreement between the phase current and the phase voltage of the AC power source and that the output voltage of the full-wave rectifier circuit is brought into agreement with a target voltage. The inverter comprises zero-voltage switching means for turning the switching element on and off by setting the voltage of the switching element to be nearly zero at the time when the semiconductor switching element constituting the inverter is turned on and off, current free-wheeling means for free-wheeling the current flowing into the zero-voltage switching means when the zero-voltage switching means is shut off, and control means for controlling the timing for turning the switching element of the inverter on and off in response to signals for setting the voltage to be applied to the X-ray tube and for setting the current to be fed to the X-ray tube. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention provides a circuit and a method for providing an override voltage to control gates through boosting of a selected word line for TWIN metal oxide, nitride semiconductor MONOS memory. The boosted voltages are required to program, erase and read the 2-bit MONOS memory cell in this invention. This invention relates to providing a means of using capacitive coupling between selected word lines and neighboring control gates to boost the voltage for the program, erase and write modes of MONOS memory. Capacitive coupling to boost the voltage on the control gates adjacent to the selected word lines is used instead of generating the required boosted voltage through the control gate and bit line decoders and drivers. This voltage boosting method saves address decoder silicon area, decoder circuit complexity, reduces address decode set-up time, and eliminates the need for extra voltage supplies for address decoders. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A balloon catheter and stent delivery system for medical treatment of a patient includes a balloon having a pattern of ridges in an initial deflated state. The ridges may cooperate with structural elements of a stent crimped onto the balloon, to increase and enhance longitudinal retention of the stent while the catheter system is advanced or withdrawn. Upon inflation, the balloon recovers to an inflated shape having a cylindrical working portion. The balloon catheter thus provides for uniform expansion of the stent when the balloon is inflated. The present invention also tends to protect the leading or distal end of the stent during advancement, and tends to protect the proximal end of the stent during any withdrawal of the catheter system.

Abstract: A syringe assembly including a needle cannula having a five-beveled point and a needle shield formed of a styrene block poly(ethylene/butylene) thermoplastic elastomer which significantly reduces needle penetration force and may reduce the cycle time for gas sterilization. The multi-beveled needle cannula point includes a primary bevel, a pair of tip bevels and a pair of middle bevels each intermediate the primary bevel and a respective tip bevel, wherein the angles of rotation of the primary bevel and the intermediate bevels are substantially equal resulting in reduced heights of intercepts between the bevels, therby reducing needle penetration force. The needle shield maintains the sharpness of the needle cannula during application, sterilization and removal of the shield and it is believed that the needle shield will also reduce the cycle time of gas sterilization as compared to rubber needle shields and vulcanizate thermoplastic elastomers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an MgB2 based powder for the production of superconductors, having high reactivity which can be sintered at visibly lower temperatures and which can be compacted in large high density samples having a high superconductive transition temperature and a high critical current. The aim of the invention is achieved by virtue of the fact that the powder is a mechanical alloy powder, whose particles have an average size of d<250 mum and a substructure consisting of nanocrystalline grains whereby the dimensions thereof are <100 mum. The inventive powder can also contain additional chemical elements in the crystal grating of the MgB2-power particles. In order to produce said inventive, a powder mixture comprising Mg-powder particles and B-powder particles powder is reduced by metal alloying optionally in the presence of additional chemical elements until an average particle size of <250 mum is achieved and a powder particle substructure comprising nanocrystalline grains measuring <100 mum is formed.

Abstract: A metal honeycomb body that is particularly suited for use in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is prepped for receiving a sensor that reaches into the interior of the honeycomb body. First, voids such as recesses and/or elongated holes are formed in at least one sheet metal foil. Then some of the foils are at least partially structured, as for example corrugated. Then the foils are stacked, coiled, wound, or otherwise made into a honeycomb structure, with the at least one sheet metal foil disposed to form a receiver that extends into the interior. The honeycomb structure is then inserting into a sheathing tube that is formed with an opening that is aligned at least partly with the receiver. Then the various pieces are joined by way of a suitable joining technique. The novel method prevents the channels from being damaged during manufacture when receivers for sensors are subsequently produced and allows, for example, an especially effective conversion of exhaust gases.
