Patent EP-0823264-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WEST SCOTT H
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1997-07-28
Abstract: An electrophysiology catheter (2) includes a
handle (4) and a catheter shaft (6) having a flexible
tip portion (22) with one or more electrodes (26, 28).
A radial deflection wire (42) connects the tip portion
to a first manipulator (10) at the handle to radially
deflect the tip portion to a curved shape. A
multifunction wire (60) extends from a second
manipulator (11) at the handle to the tip portion.
The second manipulator slides the multifunction wire
longitudinally to position the distal end (64) of the
multifunction wire along the multifunction lumen (38).
The distal end of the multifunctional wire and the
multifunction lumen are configured to provide
interfering torquing surfaces (68, 70) so that when a
third manipulator (12) rotates or torques the proxima
end (62) of the multifunctional wire, the torquing
force exerted between the interfering torquing surface
causes lateral deflection of the radially curved tip
portion. The catheter is constructed so that lateral
deflection of the radially deflected tip portion is
totally or at least substantially in-lane lateral
deflection.

Title: Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Drehrate
Inventor: MUELLER REINHARD DR
IPC: G01C19/72
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: Zur Bestimmung der Drehrate kommt ein Faserkreisel mit einem 3x3-Koppler
zur Verwendung, bei dem ein erster Kanal auf der einen Seite mit
einer Lichtquelle und auf der anderen Seite mit einem ersten Fotoelement
optisch verbunden ist und bei dem die beiden anderen Kanäle auf der einen
Seite mit einer Faserspule und auf der anderen Seite mit je zweiten bzw.
dritten Fotoelement optisch verbunden ist, wobei zumindest zwischen der
Lichtquelle und dem 3x3-Koppler oder an einem Ende der Faserspule ein
Depolarisator angeordnet ist und/oder die Faserspule eine
polarisationserhaltende Faser aufweist. Mittels einer
Signalverarbeitungselektronik wird aus den Signalen der drei Fotoelemente
und aus durch Eichung ermittelten temperaturabhängigen Koeffizienten ein
temperaturbezogener, von der Drehrate unabhängiger Wert für die
Dämpfung der Faserspule und des 3x3-Kopplers errechnet. Anschließend
wird die Drehrate aus den Signalen der drei Fotoelemente, den durch
Eichung ermittelten temperaturabhängigen Koeffizienten und aus dem

Abstract: Object: To allow the shift operation to be performed in both directions with a
light operating force even when a drive force is applied during riding. 
     Means for Solution: The bicycle internal shifter hub 10 is such that power is
transmitted from a driver 21 [ sic ] to a ring gear 43 via a second one-way clutch 51
during a shift to the upshift side, and the shift operation is performed without going
through the clutch member 45. During a shift to the downshift side, the shift key 49
swingably provided to a hub axle 21 strikes the cam surface 47 of the clutch
member 45, the rotational drive force transmitted to the clutch member 45 is converted
into an assist force in the axial direction of the clutch member 45, and this rotational
drive force is utilized to operate the clutch member 45 even when there is a large
amount of separation resistance for the first one-way clutch 50 or the clutch
member 45.

Abstract: Overlapped paper feed can be detected easily and promptly.
Along a paper feeding path, a light emitting element 1 and a light
receiving sensor 2 are placed face to face and a detection signal
corresponding to the light transmissivity of paper is output. The
detection signal is not amplified by one system and amplified at
a predetermined amplification ratio via an amplifying circuit 3
in the other system. An A/D converter 5a or 5b is set in each
system and outputs the detection signal to a CPU 6 after sampling
the detection signal. The CPU 6 detects overlapped feed by
selecting the system whose detection signal value is within the
effective range which is not effected by noise and not at a
saturation level.

Abstract: An operation controller, an operation unit and a memory
are provided. The operation controller always receives a
non-gated clock signal from a clock controller. When an
operation initiating signal and a parameter signal indicating
resources to be used in the operation unit are generated by a
microcontroller, the operation controller asserts a request
signal. In response to the request signal, respective gated
clock signals are supplied from the clock controller to the
operation unit and to the memory. The operation controller
determines whether or not a status signal supplied from the
operation unit satisfies a predetermined end condition. If
the signal satisfies the end condition, the operation
controller negates the request signal. As a result, the
supply of the clock signals to the operation unit and to the
memory is stopped.

Abstract: A voltage regulator with load pole stabilization is disclosed. The voltage
regulator consists of an error amplifier, an integrator which includes a switched capacitor, a
pass transistor, and a feedback circuit. In one embodiment, the integrator circuit includes an
amplifier, a capacitor, and a switched capacitor which is driven by a voltage controlled
oscillator. The voltage controlled oscillator changes its frequency of oscillation proportional
to the output current. In another embodiment, the switched capacitor is driven by a current
controlled oscillator whose frequency of oscillation is also proportional to the output current
of the voltage regulator. When the output current demand is large, the controlled oscillators
increase the frequency which decreases the effective resistance of the switched capacitor
thereby changing the frequency of the zero to respond to the change in the load pole.
Conversely, the effective resistance is increased as the current demand is decreased, also to
respond to the decrease in load pole. The controlled oscillator may be coupled to a current
sensing device that generates a scaled version of the load current and couples to the regulated
voltage output. The controlled oscillator is restricted to operating voltages that are related to
the regulated output voltage and a control current that is a scaled version of the load current.
Consequently, the disclosed voltage regulator has high stability without consuming excess
power.
