Inventor: JEHRING ARNFRIED
IPC: B42F7/06
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: A device for positive alignment and tensioning of a printing plate on a printing machine with a cylindrical platen, using a plate (1) which has a temporary protective coating. The platen cylinder has a recessed channel (41) containing a plate tensioning arrangement comprising a forward clamp unit (5) and a rear clamping and tension unit (6). The forward clamp has locating, electrical contact, elements (54a,54b) which correspond with locating holes in the plate to assure correct lateral and peripheral registering on the platen. The locating elements have an abrasive surface finish to remove, or penetrate, the protective insulating coating in the region of the locating holes, to provide electrically conductive contacts. The abrasive finish on the locating elements may be provided by coating with carborundum powder or diamond dust composition; the locating elements may be rotatable. An alternative system employs micro-blades projecting approximately 0.05 mm from the ends of the locating elements. Preferably the locating holes are formed as U-shaped stampings in the edge of the printing plates. The completion of an electrical circuit through the plates, which are fed from a magazine, is used to signal the correct mounting, on the platen.

Abstract: A communication system for dynamically allocating resources
to transmit both high bandwidth data and low bandwidth voice
signals (20) employs a relay device (10), such as a beam forming
satellite to cover several distinct geographical regions. A
transmitting device (18) in a first beam (14) transmits a signal
(20) to the relay device (10), which in turn retransmits
the signal (20) to one or more receiving devices (16). The
transmitting device (18) transmits first and second signals
(20) using first and second time slots (24) and/or first and
second carrier frequencies (26) to the relay device (10). The
relay device (10) receives the signals (20) and subsequently
retransmits the signals (20) using two time slots (24) and/or
two carrier frequencies (26). The signals (20) are then recovered
at one or more receiving devices (16) by demodulating one
or both of the carrier frequencies (26) and/or monitoring two
or more time slots (24) of the signal (20) (Fig. 3).

Abstract: A scene in a virtual three-dimensional space is divided into multiple regions
in accordance with the depth from a prescribed viewing point. Filtering levels are
set for the respective divisional regions. Filtering processing is performed that
imparts visual effects such as blurring to the respective regions of the scene in
degrees corresponding to the respective filtering levels. A resulting scene is
displayed on a display device. Since a single filtering level is determined for each
of the regions obtained by dividing the scene in accordance with the depth and
calculations are performed under common conditions on the pixels belonging to
each region, the processing is relatively simple.

Abstract: The invention is a method for detecting failures in an analyzer for conducting clinical
assays. Potential errors that can result in assay failures in an analyzer are identified, as are their
potential sources. The probability that an error source so identified will result in a clinically
significant error is also determined. Available potential detection measures corresponding to the
source of potential errors are identified with a combination of such measures selected and
implemented based on their probability of detecting such errors within an acceptable limit with a
concomitant low probability of the false detection of an assay failure. Each of the measures
selected are functionally independent of others chosen to address the source of the error and are
not subject to the same inherent means of failed detection. Applications of the method in a
clinical analyzer are also presented.

IPC: G06F3/00

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for suppressing interference in a
radio frequency (RF) communication system using active shielding techniques. An
opposing neutralizing signal is applied to actively neutralize stray signals in a microwave
communication environment. An interfering or stray signal is detected using a sensing
antenna, (110), and the opposing neutralizing signal is generated in response thereto. The
opposing neutralizing signal is applied to a signal neutralizing shield (100) to shield any desired
components or devices. The opposing neutralizing signal is approximately 180 degrees
out of phase, and of equal magnitude to the detected interfering signal. A phase
shifter/null feedback device (300) receives the detected stray signal, if any, and adaptively
adjusts the phase and magnitude of the opposing neutralizing signal. In one embodiment,
the phase shifter/null feedback device includes an integrator that generates a DC value
that is proportional to the energy of the interfering signal. The DC value is applied to a
voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using known feedback techniques to adjust the
phase or magnitude, or both, of the opposing neutralizing signal and to thereby minimize
the DC value.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un contacteur ainsi qu'à un procédé permettant d'extraire un solvant d'un polymère-ciment. Le polymère ainsi obtenu, qui est quasiment exempt de solvant, fait montre d'une porosité améliorée et d'une distribution granulométrique plus homogène. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce contacteur est constitué d'un caisson cylindrique comportant une partie haute pression, une partie de convergence, une partie grande vitesse, une partie de divergence et une partie d'évacuation. Le polymère-ciment est introduit dans la partie haute pression, ce qui entraîne une extraction du solvant notablement améliorée et ce, d'une façon imprévue. Les régions de section transversale des parties de convergence et de divergence correspondent, de préférence, à un angle compris entre 4 et 75°. Le polymère-ciment est mélangé à une veine de vapeur haute pression. Après convergence, le polymère-ciment forme des gouttelettes plus homogènes du fait du coefficient élevé de cisaillement de la vapeur. Ce polymère est soumis, dans une large mesure, à un dégagement des matières volatiles dans les parties de divergence et d'évacuation.

Abstract: A system and method for forming a three-dimensional wireform for heart valves from a two-dimensional starting shape. The wireform has multiple arcuate cusps and oppositely directed commissure tips therebetween, the cusps and commissure tips being oriented generally in a tube about an axis. The two-dimensional wire has three cusps and two commissure tips, with two free ends having bent segments. The wireforming system and process holds the commissure tips, or one commissure tip and one bent segment, and forms the cusp therebetween. The wire is held by two axially-parallel mandrels and cooperating clamps which axially rotate and move toward one another. A forming surface on each mandrel bends one half of the cusp, the forming surfaces being mirror images of one another. The forming surface has a complex curvature specifically designed to shape a particular size of wireform into a desired final three-dimensional shape. After bending all the cusps, the free ends of the wire are joined, such as with a tubular crimp, and the wireform assembled into a tissue-type heart valve.
