Inventor: VONK GERRIT JAN
IPC: H05G1/10
Filed: 1994-01-11
Abstract: The apparatus comprises :
     a) a high-voltage generator (1) which comprises a positive and a negative output terminal (3 and 5, respectively),   b) a combination of on the one side an X-ray tube (7) with an anode (13) and a cathode (15) and on the other side, connected in series with the X-ray tube, a series connection of a first resistor (9) and a control element (11) which acts as a variable resistance and which comprises an anode (17), a cathode (19) and a control electrode (25), which combination is connected to the output terminals (3, 5) in such a manner that the anodes face the positive output terminal and the cathodes face the negative output terminal, and   c) a control circuit (27) which is suitable to generate a control voltage which is dependent on the electric voltage between the anode and the cathode of the X-ray tube and which appears at an output (33) which is connected to the control electrode of the control element, the arrangement being such that the voltage between the anode and the cathode of the X-ray tube is always substantially equal to a predetermined value, regardless of the current flowing through the X-ray tube.   
     For very simple and inexpensive construction of the apparatus, the control circuit (27) comprises a voltage divider which is connected parallel to the series connection of the first resistor (9) and the control element (11) and which comprises a series connection of a second resistor (29) and a third resistor (31), the junction point of the second and the third resistor being connected to the output (33) of the control circuit.

Abstract: A rotary display unit of the type having rotatably mounted, parallel vanes or louvres of triangular cross-section, is arranged to provide a back lit display without an internal light fitting within each vane (120). The vanes (120) are of transparent or translucent material. One end of each vane (120) is rotatably mounted by means of an axially apertured bearing (182). An external dichroic lamp (192) axially aligned with the bearing (182) directs light axially into the vane (120). The vane (120) is lined internally with a material (200) having a structured surface, as by axially extending microprisms (202), which provides a tunnel along which the light is subject to a combination of multiple reflections internally while a proportion of the light is emitted. A particular material disclosed is that manufactured by 3M under the name SOLF. The assembly of vanes may be rotated by a cam drive arrangement at the other end of the vanes remote from the lamps.

Abstract: An electronic braking system for a multi-axle road vehicle, having a foot-operable braking transducer (12) which generates electrical braking demand signals (D) representative of a driver's braking demand, load transducers (18,36) which generate electrical load signals (L) representative of the respective load on different axles of the vehicle, and an electronic controller (10) which receives the braking demand signals (D) and load signals (L) and generates electrical output signals (B) for controlling the operation of braking devices (16,34) for the wheels carried by axles, the controller (10) including a load compensation device (90) which acts to modify the output signal (B) of the controller (10) to the various braking devices so as to take account of prevailing loads on the respective axles. The system can be brought into a test mode wherein in place of the electrical braking demand signals (D) representative of driver braking demand, a preset standard braking input demand (D F ) is applied to the controller whereby the system generates for testing purposes compensated braking pressure which take into account the operating values of the axle loads.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for pseudo-aligned transfers to memory for processors, peripherals and memories. Alignment logic, typically coupled to a peripheral, receives a plurality of data bytes from a processor. The alignment logic uses a control header transferred with the data bytes to determine whether the data bytes require re-alignment. To effect re-alignment, the alignment logic combines, rotates, and masks the data bytes as indicated by the control header.

IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 1994-01-19
Abstract: Agents for enhancing the contrast in a diagnostic ultrasound procedure comprise colloidal dispersions of the liquid-in-liquid type, i.e., emulsions or microemulsions, in which the dispersed liquid phase is a liquid having a boiling point below the temperature of the animal to be imaged and which therefore undergoes a phase change from a dispersed liquid to a highly echogenic dispersed gaseous foam or kugelschaum following administration to the animal. The liquid state of the dispersed phase allows one to manufacture extremely stable, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions with particle sizes typically below 1000 nm. The gaseous state at body temperature yields highly echogenic microbubbles, typically below 10,000 nm in diameter, which are effective as ultrasound contrast agents. Intravenous, intraarterial, oral, intraperitoneal, and intrauterine dosage forms, methods of administration, and imaging techniques are described.

Abstract: A wagering system such as a lottery with a central computer communicating with agent terminals at which tickets are issued, for example in convenience stores and the like, has a player-operated win-checking system coupled to the communications network, preferably as a peripheral to the agent terminal but possibly as a separate network terminal. Player choices and game identifications are bar coded on the tickets. A player scans the ticket automatically to trigger comparison of the bar coded data with winning entry data kept in a past game memory, such that the system need not resort to stored data on individual wager transactions to check for wins. This reduces the burden on the agent and the network because most issued tickets need not be checked by attempting to validate them for a payout. A limited number of past games are stored, e.g., the most recent thirty Keno game cycles of a game run at five minute intervals. One or more of the win checking system, the agent terminal and the central computer can hold the past game memory. Winning choice data is downloaded after each game, or scanned player choices are uploaded, to effect the comparison. If a ticket is too old for the corresponding game data to remain in the past game memory, the player is directed to the agent, who can use the terminal to attempt to validate the old ticket as a winner.
