Title: Swivel joint assembly
Inventor: RANGER HUBERT MARTIN
IPC: F16L27/00
Filed: 1995-09-29
Granted: 1999-09-28
Abstract: A swivel Joint Assembly includes a first tubular member having a socket at one end. The socket has an interior 11. A second tubular member is provided having a ball at one end which is received within the socket of the first tubular member . An annular packing cavity is defined by a space between the interior sidewall of the socket and the ball. An annular packing assembly is disposed in the annular packing cavity. An annular end cap is positioned at the one end of the first tubular member. The annular end cap has a central aperture through which the second tubular extends. The end cap has a depending annular flange positioned adjacent the central aperture.  The depending annular flange engages the packing assembly. Bolts are provided for selectively adjusting the force with which the end cap engages the first tubular member. This permits the compression force exerted by the depending annular flange upon the packing assembly to be selectively adjusted.

Abstract: A catheter guidewire has a relatively flexible distal portion to facilitate the steering of the guidewire through the cardiovascular system of a subject and the capability of the guidewire to reach a deposit region within a relatively tortuous portion of the cardiovascular system. The guidewire also has a relatively stiff proximal portion to facilitate the pushing of the guidewire through the cardiovascular system from an entry point of the subject. For one embodiment, the guidewire includes a corewire and a sleeve secured to the corewire such that the sleeve surrounds a proximal portion of the corewire. The sleeve is formed from a material having a relatively greater stiffness than the material for the corewire. The sleeve may be formed from stainless steel, for example, to provide for a relatively stiff proximal portion of a corewire formed from a material exhibiting superelastic properties, such as a nickel-titanium or Nitinol alloy for example.

Abstract: Système de cartes de crédit à reconnaissance par radiofréquences du type sans contact. Dans un système de cartes de crédit traditionnel, la reconnaissance des cartes s'effectue par introduction, avec contact, d'une carte de crédit (40) dans un lecteur de carte raccordé à une société de gestion de cartes. Ceci peut abîmer la carte, et le délai de reconnaissance de la carte est alors prolongé. Ledit système de cartes de crédit à reconnaissance par radiofréquences du type sans contact comprend un carte R.F. (40) apte à être activée par la réception d'une radiofréquence en provenance d'un terminal de cartes (70), de sorte qu'elle transmet son propre numéro au terminal à l'aide d'une radiofréquence. Le terminal émet une radiofréquence afin de provoquer un production d'électricité dans la carte R.F., puis il transmet des données de numéro de carte (reçues par l'intermédiaire d'une radiofréquence) à un ordinateur terminal (80) à liaison par fil, et ce dernier lit les données de numéro de carte en provenance du terminal de cartes avant de consulter une liste noire, de décider de la validation ou du rejet de la transaction, et de transmettre le résultat de cette décision au terminal de cartes.

Abstract: In a method for azimuth scaling of SAR data without interpolation,  SAR raw data in azimuth are multiplied with a phase function H5(fa;rO), where fa denotes the azimuth frequency and rO denotes the range to a target point. An azimuth modulation of the SAR data is subsequently adapted with the phase function H5(fa;rO) to that of a reference range, in a manner so that the azimuth  modulation  no  longer  depends  on  the  range  and  is transferred into a pure quadratic phase modulation in order to attain an azimuth processing with a very high phase accuracy, by using deramping with an exactly linear frequency modulation and azimuth FFT.

Title: Setting instance breakpoints in object oriented computer programs
Inventor: OLSHEFSKI DAVID PAUL
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 1997-07-25
Granted: 2002-02-05
Abstract: A mechanism for setting a conditional breakpoint on all methods called by a specific instance of a class. To set the instance breakpoint, the debugger must first determine all of the methods that can be applied to the object type or class. In an environment in which full debugging information includes the correspondence between virtual function tables and specific classes, and full class hierarchy information, the methods can be located by locating the pointer to the type's virtual function table, and from the virtual function table, locating the specific class in the debugging information. Identifying the specific type permits all of the base classes of the type to be identified in the debugging information, and from the class hierarchy information, all methods for objects of the type can be compiled. The debugger then sets a conditional breakpoint on each method, the condition specifying that the breakpoint should cause program execution to automatically stop only if the method is being called for the particular object or instance for which the instance breakpoint was set. Information gathered at these program suspensions can be used in granular program debugging to locate problems particular to the specific instance.

Abstract: The main frame of the swivel child seat is secured to the car seat in the same manner as conventional child seats. The child seat is attached to one side of the frame by two hinges. These hinges have a locking mechanism. When the seat swings open to full capacity it locks in this open position. That way, while the child is being installed in the seat, the said seat stays fixed and does not rotate. After the child is properly positioned or removed, a slight force is then required to push the seat out of the open position and re-attach it in the original closed position, where it locks until someone pulls a cable-release mechanism to unlock it. The child seat rotates on its hinges towards the open car door. The seat can be unlocked from the side closest to the door. The hinges can be placed on either side of the seat so that it can be used on both sides of the car. The conventional child seat is uncomfortable for parents (or others) to work with: to put the child in or remove. Parents (or others) acquire back pain from bending over at an uncomfortable angle. They tend to become lazy and do the job improperly. The conventional process of inserting the child is also uncomfortable for the child. The advance that this invention has to offer is a swivel vs. a stationary seat. In terms of utility, this new child seat is more convenient and easier to use for both the parents and the child.
