Abstract: A catheter and/or balloon for a medical catheter is formed from a blend of polymeric components, including a first crystalline polymeric component and a second softening polymeric component. The polymeric material also can include a third compatibilizing agent to facilitate blending the first two polymeric components together. The first polymeric component can be a polyester or a polyamide, and the second polymeric component can be a polyolefin, or an ethylene copolymer. The third polymeric component preferably is an ethylene copolymer containing reactive group that forms a covalent bond with the first polymeric component. The polymeric material forming the balloon or catheter also can include a catalyst to catalyze a reaction between the compatibilizing ethylene copolymer and the second polymer component. The second, softening polymeric component also can include a silane coupling agent, to provide a reactive softening copolymer that bonds with the first strong polymeric component, to provide increased flexibility of catheters and balloons formed from the polymeric components. The Properties of the balloon and catheter formed from the polymeric material can be enhanced by cross-linking by irradiation of the polymeric material.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and corresponding apparatuses utilized in the production of ophthalmic lenses, and more specifically for the separation of the corresponding mold halves between which contact lenses are produced. The method to which the several variations of this invention are directed includes: (1) loosening one of the mold halves relative to the contact lens by applying a thermal gradient across the mold and lens, thereby weakening the adhesion therebetween; and (2) subsequent to the loosening step, separating the corresponding mold halves by prying or lifting them apart. There are herein disclosed several embodiments of the invention which achieve these steps in various ways. With respect to the step of loosening the molds relative to the contact lenses by applying a thermal gradient thereacross, there are described devices for directing infra-red energy, steam, or coherent light energy onto the mold half. With respect to the step of separating the mold halves, subsequent to the application of the thermal gradient, there are described devices for prying, rotating and lifting, or purely lifting the loosened mold half away from the other mold half and the contact lens therein. Each of the separating devices include component elements which hold stationary one of the two mold halves as the other is removed.

Abstract: A demodulator capable of shortening a pull-in time even if a frequency shift in a received signal is large. A received signal is A/D converted by an A/D converter, and Fourier transformed by an FFT circuit. A frequency offset detector circuit 7 detects a frequency offset value from the Fourier transformed data. In accordance with the detected frequency offset value, a data shift circuit shifts the Fourier transformed data and an oscillation frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator functioning as a local oscillator is controlled to correct a frequency shift.

Abstract: A multipole multiposition microwave switch system
 101  with a common redundancy is directed to a new and
innovative RF switch that enables the integration of a
plurality of high-power RF transmission line switches
into one mechanical assembly while giving the system an
ability to provide a redundant operation for each of the
high-power RF transmission line switches. The invention
combines the connectibility of, more particularly, three
or more single-pole-double-throw [SPDT] switches and one
single-pole-multiple-throw [SPMT] switch to form a single
unit of multiple-pole-(multiple plus one)-throw
[(N)P(N+1)T] multipole multiposition microwave switch
system  101  with a common redundancy. The multipole
multiposition microwave switch system  101  achieves the
great number of redundancy by having each of the
switching mechanisms, along with its input and output RF
connectors, parallelly, radially, and commonly connected
to the redundant RF connector  123 . Because each set of
the input and output connectors are commonly and
parallelly connected to the redundant connector  123 , the
number of switches, along with their input and output RF
connectors, which can be integrated with the redundant RF
connector  123  are not numerically or physically limited.
Therefore, this invention allows the packaging of any
variety of multiple-pole-(multiple plus one)-throw 
[(N)P(N+1)T] multipole multiposition microwave switch
system  101  with a common redundancy; such as 3P4T, 4P5T,
5P6T, 6P7T, 7T8P, and others with more switches.

Abstract: Field motion in digital video motion pictures are calculated by partitioning the field data in such a way to allow the four required searches to be done simultaneously in two searches using duplicate search circuitry. This reduces processing time by fifty percent. This takes advantage of the fact that two of the four searches use the same current macroblock parity fl data and that the other two searches use the same current macroblock parity f2 data. The reference data can be stored in two separate arrays, or in one array with two read ports. According to an alternative, four sets of search circuitry can be utilized. By this expedient the four searches can be completed in parallel.

A difference Δn between a real refractive index in a region, which corresponds to the opening, in the active layer and a real refractive index in a region, which corresponds to both sides of the opening, in the active layer and the width W [µm] of the opening are so set as to satisfy a predetermined relationship. The difference Δn between the real refractive indexes is set by selecting the Al composition ratio of the current blocking layer and the thickness of the cladding layer of the second conductivity type on the both sides of the opening.

adjacent to the top of output stack (44) at their registration position to compensate automatically for
variations in the height of the stack (44), preferably by limited force engagement of the ends of the
fingers (16a, 16b) with the top of the stack (44). Preferably, the finger units (16a, 16b) are radially
pivotally outwardly lightly spring loaded to provide a transporting and inverting position for the
sheets which is at a substantially greater radius than the reduced radius thereof for releasing sheets

36a, 36b) is automatically actuated in coordination with the release of the sheet only to engage the
sheet when it is very closely adjacent to the top of the stack (44).

faster, the compression ratio larger and by reducing heat losses and improving
ignitability.
