Abstract: 2.1 The object was to modify aliphatic polycarbonates by incorporation of further polymer units in such a way that they have novel applicationally useful service properties. 2.2 According to the invention, the copolymer contains carboxylate units in addition to alkylene carbonate groups and corresponds in chemical structure to the formula  [(CHR1 - CHR2 - O - CO - O)a(CHR3 - CH2 - CO - O)b]x where R1, R2 and R3 can be hydrogen or straight-chain or branched alkyl radicals having 1-4 carbon atoms, (a + b) = 2 to 100, and x = 10 to 10,000. The polymers can be prepared by anionic solution polymerisation from epoxides, carbon dioxide and lactones. 2.3 The polymers are amorphous, glass-clear and soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons, aliphatic esters, ketones and aromatics. They are resistant to alcohols, water, acids, glycols, fats and oils. They can be converted by thermoplastic methods to semifinished products and mouldings which have low permeability to gases and are biodegradable and compostable.

Abstract: A trocar and trocar obturator assembly having an obturator and a locking mechanism responsive to proximal, axial movement of the trocar obturator is disclosed. The trocar obturator has an elongated obturator shaft having a proximal end and a distal end with a piercing tip mounted thereto. The proximal end of the trocar obturator shaft is slidably mounted in a handle such that the obturator shaft is moveable axially. A protective safety shield having a distal end and a proximal end with a flange member mounted to the proximal end is slidably mounted on the trocar obturator. The safety shield is moveable, axially, between an extended distal position and a retracted proximal position. The protective safety shield is disposed concentrically about the obturator. A lockout arm for locking the safety shield in a locked extended position is mounted in the trocar obturator handle. An actuating collar member is mounted to the proximal end of the obturator shaft in the obturator handle and is moveable with the obturator shaft. The obturator collar disengages the locking arm when moved proximally and engages the locking arm when trocar is armed. The trocar obturator assembly may be concentrically mounted in a trocar cannula having a passageway for receiving the trocar obturator and safety shield. The locking mechanism is actuated by proximal, axial motion of the obturator.

Abstract: A method for dynamically building dialog boxes (240) within a graphical user interface application (225). A description language (230) is provided to build a description file which contains dialog box templates. This method accommodates content changes of the dialog boxes by using the templates for each dialog box; this template will grow or shrink according to its content requirements. The present method performs two functions: (1) provides initial positioning of dialog elements (420) and (2) sets special positioning requirements (450). The present method proceeds sequentially through the description file so that elements that are described first within the file will be positioned first within the dialog box. In a preferred embodiment, the starting point of each dialog box is the upper left-hand corner. In this manner, prior defined elements will appear above or to the left of subsequent defined elements.

Abstract: Transmission quality and throughput are improved when communication is carried out using fixed-length packets in wire circuits (106) between radio base stations (101) and a mobile switching centre (107) in mobile radio communications systems. To achieve this, low bit-rate digital information signals are converted to short packets by a plurality of information data assembly/disassembly circuits (103,113) provided in parallel. A plurality of these short packets are transmitted after being inserted into a long fixed-length packet by means of a fixed-length packet assembly/disassembly circuit (104,114) and a plurality of short packets are extracted from the fixed-length packet and then restored to the low bit-rate digital information signals by information data assembly/disassembly circuits. This enables high throughput, economical communication paths to be constructed.

Abstract: Multilayer circuit devices include a plurality of metallized patterns thereon, said patterns being separated by a polymeric dielectric film. The various metallized patterns are interconnected by means of microvias through the polymeric film or films. Each of the metallizations is a composite including in succession from the substrate or from the polymeric film, a layer of titanium (Ti), a layer of titanium and palladium alloy (Ti/Pd), a layer of copper (Cu), and a layer of titanium and palladium alloy (Ti/Pd). The Ti-Ti/Pd-Cu-Ti/Pd composite is hereinafter referred to as TCT. The adhesion between the polymeric film and the top Ti/Pd layer is better than that between the polymer and gold (Au) and comparable to that between the polymer and an adhesion promoted Au layer. Use of the TCT metallization also results in additional cost reduction due to the elimination of Ni and Au layers on top of the Cu layer.

Abstract: A laser beam condensing device which can be manufactured at low cost by using reflecting mirrors which can be machined at low cost, and which is capable of condensing a laser beam to a high energy density while eliminating any optical path difference, even if the optical axis of the incident beam is strayed. This device includes a first and a second reflecting mirror. An incident laser beam is deflected by these mirrors in the same direction. One of the two mirrors is a toroidal mirror, while the other is a spherical, cylindrical or toroidal reflecting mirror. The mirror surfaces of the two reflecting mirrors are machined so that the second reflecting mirror can cancel out any wave front aberration of the laser beam reflected by the first reflecting mirror. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of operating a computer to produce contrast enhanced digital images produces a histogram (211) having a first axis corresponding to a measurable property (e.g., luminance) and a second axis corresponding to a count of particular value for the measurable property. This histogram is divided into clusters and histogram equalisation or stretching is performed on each cluster to modify the histogram. The modified histogram is used to adjust the value of the first measurable property to enhance an image contrast. The histogram is divided into clusters using a pattern matching technique, gaussian distributions and uniform distributions being separated into individual clusters.
