Abstract: The first half (30) of the hinge (100) is secured to the front surface (2) of the fixed door- or window-frame, and the second half (40) to that of the leaf (20). The first half extends above the second one to accommodate a pin (6) passing through both, and which forms the hinge axis (A). The pin is movable in a straight guide in the transverse direction, so as to adjust the leaf position inside the frame. The external screw (50) adjusting the pin is actuated from the top of the hinge, and its axis can be parallel to the hinge axis. The pin can be accommodated in a bush (8) which is guided in a recess allowing no free movement in the hinge half (42).

Abstract: This is a catheter section having a number of radially placed holes through the catheter section wall and a catheter assembly including that section. That catheter assembly may be used in accessing and treating a tissue target within the body, typically one which is accessible through the vascular system. Central to the catheter section is the presence of a braided metallic reinforcing member, typically of super-elastic alloy ribbon, situated in such a way to provide an exceptionally thin wall, controlled stiffness, high resistance to kinking, and complete recovery in vivo from kinking situations. The orifices in the section are optimally placed in the interstices between the turns of the braid. The braid may have a single pitch or may vary in pitch along the axis of the catheter or catheter section. The braided ribbon reinforcing member typically is placed between a flexible outer tubing member and an inner tubing member to produce a catheter section which is very flexible but highly kink resistant. The catheter sections made according to this invention may be used alone or in conjunction with other catheter sections either made using the concepts shown herein or made in other ways. The more proximal sections of the catheter assembly are often substantially stiffer than the more distal sections due to the presence of stiff polymeric tubing or metallic tubing or composited materials in the stiffer section. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is a fibre channel switch employing a distributed queuing algorithm for interconnecting a plurality cf devices (workstations, supercomputer, peripherals) through their associated node ports (N_ports) and employs a fabric having a shared memory coupled to a plurality of fabric ports (F_ports) through a bi-directional bus over which memory addresses, frame data and communications commands are transmitted. Each F_port includes a port controller employing a distributed queuing algorithm associated with a control network for communicating commands between the ports related to when and where frame transfers should be made, wherein the bi-directional bus provides an independent data network for access to the shared memory such that frames can be transferred to and from the shared memory in response to port controller commands. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et son procédé de fonctionnement pour mémoriser des données relatives à un patient dans un dispositif médical implanté, et pour extraire et regénérer ces données à l'aide d'un logiciel interface-utiliseur graphique et d'une grammaire générative dans un programmateur présentant des fonctions de télémesure à liaisons ascendante et descendante. Un résident de grammaire générative dans le programmateur est sélectionné. Celui-ci demande alors au médecin, ou à tout autre utilisateur, d'entrer des variables spécifiques au patient en sélectionnant des choix de menus, ou en entrant des données dans les champs d'entrée de données générés par des règles de grammaire, tout en construisant un rapport sous forme de texte rédactionnel concernant le patient en langage humain. Simultanément, dans le programmateur, une chaîne de bits de données numériques concernant le patient est assemblée. Cette chaîne identifie la grammaire générative et code les choix et les valeurs lors de leur entrée par le médecin. Toujours en même temps, des enregistrements informatiques internes des données concernant le patient sont mémorisées dans la mémoire de l'ordinateur. La grammaire générative appelle un texte et des menus ou des champs d'entrées de données pour le texte rédactionnel qui sont fonction du texte précédent grammaticalement correct. Lorsque le texte est terminé, la chaîne de bits générés simultanément est mémorisée dans le dispositif médical implanté par une télémesure à liaison descendante classique. La chaîne de bits mémorisée peut être télémesurée sur commande et décodée pour identifier la grammaire générative et utiliser cette dernière pour regénérer le texte rédactionnel soit dans la langue d'origine soit dans une autre langue pour laquelle il existe une grammaire générative correspondante dans le programmateur. La quantité de mémoire utilisée pour mémoriser la chaîne de bits de données relatives au patient est minimisée. Seule la taille de la grammaire générative détermine ce qui peut être exprimé par le médecin à propos du malade et mémorisé dans le dispositif médical implanté.

Abstract: An automatic chemistry analyzer is provided having a high throughput and a high reliability. The analyzer uses nephelometric and turbimetric analyzers to analyze a wide variety of parameters within liquid samples typically generated in, for example, a large medical testing laboratory. The machine employs a unique probe and stirring rod assembly mounted at a slight angle with one another using rack and pinion assemblies so that the lower end of the probe and the lower end of the stirring rod are in very close proximity to one another. This feature allows the machine to be used in unusually small reaction cuvettes. The analysis machine also includes an onboard control sample so that the machine can be programmed to periodically calibrate its analyzing equipment during the course of normal operation. The machine also includes a sample station carousel having retainer clips for retaining a sample container rack which is constructed to retain a bar-coded card containing information regarding reagents used in the machine. A bar code reader located proximate to the sample carousel reads the bar-coded reagent information into the controller.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une fixation (1) permettant de maintenir des tuyaux (P) et un adaptateur (2) permettant de faire tenir la fixation sur un panneau formant un corps (B), la fixation et l'adaptateur étant solidarisés au moyen d'une liaison en forme de paroi fine (9) préalablement intégrée.

Un élément de liaison (3) est formé dans cet état. Il en résulte une plus grande facilité de fabrication que si l'on chargeait séparément les deux éléments (1, 2) dans des moules métalliques. Etant donné que la fixation (1) et l'adaptateur (2) restent solidaires via la liaison (3) en matériau caoutchouteux, s'il se produit des vibrations dans le tuyau, elles ne se transmettent que difficilement à l'adaptateur (2), et par conséquent au corps.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of computing the radiation temperature of a body from the signals of a radiation and an ambient temperature sensor, and further to a radiation thermometer, in particular a clinical radiation thermometer. In the method of the present invention, computation of the temperature is not using the Stefan Boltzmann law, but rather, a polynomial is used, preferably a third-degree polynomial, which is adjusted to the radiation-optical properties of the thermometer in the relevant wavelength range. The reciprocal value of the sensitivity of the radiation sensor is preferably represented as a polynomial as well. In this manner, the computation of a fourth root or divisions which are otherwise customary are avoided, enabling the necessary computations to be also performed, for example, by a 4-bit microprocessor with great speed.
