Patent EP-0923395-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KASHMER JAMES S
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1997-07-16
Abstract: A single-use syringe assembly is provided and includes an elongated syringe barrel (12) with a plunger assembly (14) disposed therein. The plunger assembly includes an elongated plunger rod (32) having a plunger tip (36) located distally. The plunger tip contains a locking detent (30) disposed at the distal end of the tip. The syringe barrel has a nozzle (24) at the substantially closed distal end (20), the nozzle adapted to conform to the plunger tip. The distal end of the nozzle contains an annular inward biased ring (60) adapted to mate with the locking detent of the plunger tip. Upon usage of the syringe and application of force to apply the liquid, the locking detent is irreversibly mated with the nozzle inwardly biased ring, thereby preventing reuse of the syringe assembly.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un terminal mobile (10) qui comporte plusieurs piles de protocoles (151, 152...). Ces derniers correspondent aux protocoles utilisés sur de multiples réseaux de base (30a-30c) auxquels le terminal mobile peut avoir accès par l'intermédiaire d'un ou de plusieurs réseaux d'abonnés mobiles (20a-20c) avec lesquels il est en communication, à l'aide d'un protocole commun de signalisation à faible niveau prédéterminé. Le réseau d'abonnés mobiles (20) diffuse des signaux (102) indiquant les types de réseaux de base auxquels il est connecté (et de ce fait, les protocoles qu'ils utilisent). Ainsi, lors de l'émission d'un signal indiquant un nouveau type de réseau d'abonnés mobiles, un terminal mobile (10) peut décharger une nouvelle pile de protocoles à partir du réseau d'abonnés mobiles.

Abstract: The sealing assembly (1) for the two rings (2, 3)
of a rolling bearing (4) includes a substantially rigid
shield (6) integral with the rotary ring (3) of the
bearing (4); a sealing element (10) cooperating in
sliding manner with the fixed ring (2); and a magnetic

shield (6), and on the face (38) of a radially outer
flange (12) of the shield (6) facing the sleeve-shaped
portion (11), so as to define an annular seat (46) for
the magnetic ring (45). The magnetic ring (45) has
beveled, knurled sides (48, 49) to assist insertion and
prevent rotation of the magnetic ring inside the seat;
and, on the opposite side to the flange (12), the
magnetic ring (45) is retained axially by a deformable
circumferential projection (53) projecting radially
from one end of a cylindrical portion (41) of the cover
layer (32) covering the sleeve-shaped portion (11) of
the shield (6). The profile of the projection (53) and
the dimensions of the annular seat (46) are such as to

Abstract: A plurality of ink supply bags (365) for an inkjet printer are each enclosed in
a separate protective enclosure (340) having a front opening for an end-connect outlet.
The cross-section of the enclosure (340) is a diamond shaped parallelagram so that
when several of the enclosures (340) are placed side-by-side, overlapping occurs
between adjacent enclosures. This provides a decreased overall width for an ink supply
station on the printer while at the same time still allowing use of a flattened
collapsible bag (365) inside each enclosure (340). The ink supply station includes a
front-access storage shelf (364) having separate divider walls (366) which together
with a floor define a series of slots which coincide with the outer shape of the
enclosures (340) for removably receiving and protectively holding the enclosures (340)
together on the printer in separated nesting relationship.

Abstract: Gene sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO:1-18 have been discovered and isolated, and found to be significantly associated with metastatic spread of breast and colon cancer cells to other organs. Methods are provided for determining the risk of metastasis of a breast or colon tumor, which involve determining whether a tissue sample from a tumor expresses a polypeptide encoded by a gene as shown in SEQ ID NOS:1-18, or a substantial portion thereof. One of the gene sequences encodes a novel aspartyl protease termed CSP56, which can be used to provide reagents and methods for determining which tumors are likely to metastasize and for suppressing metastases of these tumors. Clinicians can use this information to predict which tumors will metastasize to other organs and to provide relevant therapies to appropriate patients.

Abstract: In a data encryption/decryption method including
an encryption step and a decryption step. In the encryption
step (Fig. 2), there are prepared n pairs of secret
keys (d1 to d4) and public keys (Q1 to Q4) in a public-key
cryptographic scheme, where n is a positive integer. A new
key is generated in accordance with at least one of the
public keys. Data is encrypted in a common-key cryptographic
scheme by use of the new key. There is prepared a
(k,n) threshold logic (k is an integer equal to or less
than n) having terms associated with the new key and the n
public keys. A calculation of the threshold logic is
conducted by use of the new key and the n public keys, and
encrypted data and a result of the calculation of the
threshold logic are stored. In the decryption step (Fig.
3), the new key is restored from k secret keys selected
from the n secret keys and the stored result of the
threshold logic calculation in accordance with a threshold
reverse logic corresponding to the threshold logic and
stored data is decrypted by the restored key in the common-key
cryptographic scheme.

Abstract: A high speed voltage comparing operation by a voltage
comparing circuit is realized while input sampling timing can be
made constant. This voltage comparing circuit is mainly arranged
by a first switch (1), a second switch (2), a third switch (3),
a fourth switch (4), a fifth switch (5), a sixth switch (6), a seventh
switch (7), a first capacitor (10), a second capacitor (11), a first
inverter (12), a second inverter (13), a third capacitor (14), and
a fourth capacitor (15). In this voltage comparing circuit, an
input signal voltage is held in the first capacitor (10) and also
a reference voltage is held in the second capacitor (11) in an input
sampling mode. Then, electron charges stored in these capacitors
are redistributed, and the difference voltage between the input
voltage and the reference voltage is amplified by two sets of
inverters in an amplifying mode. In a latch mode, these first and
second inverters are operated as a flip-flop circuit. Consequently,
in this voltage comparing circuit, the sampling timing of the input
voltages can be correctly and periodically determined, so that the
precision of the input signal comparing process operation can be
improved.
Patent EP-0978968-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MULLANEY JOHN P
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1999-08-03
Abstract: An asynchronous serial crosspoint switch is word
synchronized to each of a number of transceiver circuits. The
crosspoint switch circuit generates both a master bit clock and
a master word clock signal. A transceiver circuit recovers the
master bit clock signal from an incoming high-speed serial data
stream using a clock and data recovery circuit. The recovered
bit clock signal is used as a timing signal by which data is
serialized and transmitted to the crosspoint switch circuit. The
data stream transmitted to the switch circuit is frequency locked
to the master bit clock signal, such that the serial data stream
need only be phase adjusted with a data recovery circuit. To
recover word timing, the switch circuit issues alignment words
to the transceivers during link initialization. The transceivers
perform word alignment and establish a local word lock.
Alignment words are then reissued to the switch circuit using the
local word clock. The switch circuit compares the boundary of
the received word clock to the master word clock and, if
misaligned, the transceiver shifts its transmitted word by one
bit and retries. Necessary edge transition density is provided
by overhead bits which also designate special command words
asserted between a transceiver and a switch circuit. Flow
control information is routed from a receiving transceiver back
to the transmitting transceiver using the overhead bits in order
to assert a ready-to-receive or a not-ready-to-receive flow
control signal. The overhead bits additionally provide
information regarding connection requests and other information.
