Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between the first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into two, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability.

Abstract: An occlusive dressing consisting essentially of a soft, pliant, fluid absorbent adhesive barrier layer, a thin elastomeric backing layer along one side of the barrier layer, and a removable release sheet covering the opposite skin-contacting surface of the barrier layer. The release sheet is divided into two immediately adjacent separable sections disposed along opposite sides of a predetermined line of separation. Each separable section includes an extended tab which projects outward beyond a perimeter of the skin-contacting surface of the barrier layer for permitting removal of the separable sections without touching or contaminating the exposed surface of the barrier layer. When the line of separation is defined by a series of alternating slits and connecting segments which normally hold the separable sections in contiguous relation, the extended tabs facilitate tearing the separable sections apart.

Abstract: The method involves using a first arrangement for the recognition of an idling operation of the combustion engine, a second arrangement for the recognition of an activation of a servo-steering of the motor vehicle, and a third arrangement for the recognition of a speed of the vehicle. The combustion engine is operated at a first number of revolutions, if the first arrangement detects idling, and the second arrangement detects no activation or an activation up to a determined steering angle. The combustion engine is operated at a second, increased number of revolutions, if the first arrangement detects idling and the second arrangement detects a value above the determined steering angle. The increased number of revolutions is kept up, independently of changes of the steering angle above the determined value, and the combustion engine is operated again at the first number of revolutions, only if the first arrangement detects no idling, the second arrangement detects a value underneath a threshold value, and the third arrangement detects a speed above a pre-settable value.

Abstract: A method of mixing blood taken from a patient with a fluid, to be returned to the patient's blood vessels, involves holding a given volume of the extracted blood in a flexible bag (1) which can be emptied by compression. Separately, the additional fluid is drawn from a supply point (26) into a second (2) and similar bag. The contents of the first bag are transferred to the second bag by squeezing it out manually before or after the second bag has been charged. The mixture in the second bag is squeezed out. Also claimed is the device for carrying out the method, having at least two flexible bags (1,2), which can be emptied by squeezing and compression. The first bag is linked to the patient by a catheter (8,14) for blood extraction. The bags are linked by a tube, so that their contents can be transferred. The second bag is linked by a tube to the supply (26) of added fluid for a given vol. to be passed into the bag. A tube (32) gives a link between the second bag and the final bag, if in place. A tube (40,46) takes the blood and fluid mixture from the second bag. An optical scale (4,6) shows the volumes present in the bags. Closures (10,24,34,42) are opened and closed selectively to control the flow through the tubes (22,32) and catheters (8,14,40,46).

Abstract: A medical electrical lead having a fixation helix which is surface treated along a portion further has a bioabsorbable coating in order to permit the helix to be inserted into the heart tissue without causing damage to the heart tissue through the engagement of the surface treated portion with heart tissue during insertion. In the preferred embodiment the bioabsorbable material is mannitol, although other bioabsorbable materials may also be used, such as a material which is no more than sparingly soluble in water, for example, the steroid beclomethasone dipropionate anhydrous. Through such a construction the helix may be inserted into tissue while the coating of absorbable materials provides a smooth surface between the surface treated portion of the helix and the tissue. Once inserted, the coating is absorbed and the surface treated portion provides electrical contact with the heart tissue.
