Inventor: LUTERSTEIN ALEX
IPC: F16L37/113
Filed: 2001-05-15
Abstract: A seal mechanism (10) for conveniently coupling bayonet-type connectors (12, 14) while providing stable compression of the seal (28) therebetween. The mechanism enables a more rigid configuration providing increased resistance to deformation from lateral forces. The mechanism incorporates an internally threaded coupling nut support element (22) which cooperates with a threaded flange (24) projecting from the plug sleeve (14) to maintain a hermetic seal under conditions applying lateral forces to the connection. Interaction between the support element and the threaded flange permit the support element to be installed onto or removed from the connector assembly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a self-emissive display device including a selection TFT (4)
having a gate connected to a gate line (1) and a drain connected
to a data line (2), and a driving TFT (6) having a gate connected
to a source of the selection TFT (4), a positive power source
PV, the driving TFT (6), an organic EL emissive element (7),
and a negative power source CV are connected in series. Because
a shift voltage for shifting a correlation curve between the
gate signal and the luminance of emitted light is applied to
the negative power source CV, there is no need to raise the voltage
level of the data signal by the voltage producing no effect on
displayed tone. Accordingly, power consumption is reduced, and
the data signal can be supplied by a circuit manufactured through
a common CMOS process, leading to a reduction in manufacturing
costs.

Abstract: A process for setting an angioplasty stent (S) on a
corresponding insertion element (C), in which said
angioplasty stent is subjected to an action of radial
contraction, envisages that the stent (S) will be
subjected to the action of radial contraction before
being placed on said insertion element (C). Preferably,
the action of radial contraction is carried out in such
a way as to bestow on the stent (S) a given diametral
dimension (d2) at least marginally smaller than the
homologous diametral dimension of the insertion element
(C), which typically consists of a balloon catheter.
After the stent (S) has been set on the insertion
element (C), in the structure of the stent there remain
residual states of constraint which act in the
direction of securing the stent in the condition of
coupling to the insertion element (C).

anerkannt, wenn an beiden Kanalausgängen der Kanäle
(11, 12) ein Signal vorhanden ist, bzw. das Signal jeweils

Abstract: A control system is provided for the drive system of automotive
vehicles. A control determines a combination of torque to be applied from an

Abstract: This invention has as its object to realize a radiation image sensing apparatus which can adjust (AEC-controls) the amount of incoming light or dose without requiring high-speed driving. Since a second photoelectric conversion element (108) which is used to detect the total dose of radiation that enters a conversion unit is formed independently of pixels having first conversion elements (101) that are formed in the conversion unit on a single substrate, the need for reading out the outputs from the first conversion elements (101) at high speed for the purpose of adjustment of the dose of incoming radiation can be obviated, and another sensor used to adjust the dose need not be added, thus simplifying the structure of a radiation image sensing apparatus.
