Abstract: A needle holder which is used in laparoscopic surgeries by being inserted into a trocal tube inserted into a body cavity of a patient includes an elongated insertion rod (3) having a tip portion; a holding member provided at the tip portion of the insertion rod for removably holding the needle (7); position control mechanism (66a,66b) operable from the outside of the body for adjusting the position of the needle to be held by the holding member; fixing members (51,52) for fixing the holding member with respect to the insertion rod at a state that the holding member has been adjusted by the position control mechanism; and switching mechanism (50,54,55) for switching the state of the holding member between a first state in which the holding member is adjustable in three rotational directions with the position control mechanism and a second state in which the holding member is fixed with respect to the insertion rod by means of the fixing members. The holding member is formed from a pair of pinch members (6a,6b) each having a semi-spherical shape. The pinch members are joined together to form a substantially spherical body which is rotatable between the fixing members at the tip portion of the insertion rod, thereby enabling to adjust the position of the needle held between the pinch members easily from the outside of the body by operating the position control mechanism when carrying out the step of piercing body tissue during suturing inside the body cavity.

Abstract: A transition module adapted to accept copy sheet input from an input feeder short edge first and feed the copy sheets long edge first to the main paper path of a processing apparatus. The transition module includes a belt-on-belt transport (65,67) to move copy sheets into the transition module from, for example, the output of a third party feeder. The sheets are fed to the belt-on-belt transport (65,67) and driven against a registration edge (63). The belts are continuously running and provide enough drive force to move the sheets to the registration edge (63), but not enough to overdrive the sheets or cause buckling. Once each sheet is registered, double 'D' rolls (70-73) are activated for one revolution to pull the sheet from the belts (65,67) and feed it to an exit nip located downstream from the 'D' rolls (70-73).

Abstract: A digital exciter (30) for selectively modulating digital or analog input data. The digital exciter includes a digital signal modulator (32) and a digital quadrature modulator (DQM) (36) comprising two digital signal processors (DSPs). The signal modulator is controlled by a control (40). An operator can selectively determine whether the digital exciter is used for modulating either two level or four level NRZ digital data and whether the device is to provide linear modulation or frequency modulation (FM) of the input signal. An interpolator (38) interpolates a 66-2/3 kHz timer interrupt rate used in the signal modulator to a 400 kHz rate, thereby reducing the processing load on the DSP comprising the DQM by simplifying the sine and cosine values used in the quadrature modulation. An operator can select from among a plurality of operating parameters on a menu for controlling the signal modulator, either from a local or a remote video display terminal (VDT).

It can be used in the optics industry and as part of the diagnostic apparatus used in various plasma systems of the tokamak, stellarator or gas-discharge laser type. The dispersion interferometer comprises the following elements arranged along the optical axis: a light source emitting light of a given frequency; two non-linear optical frequency doublers the distance between which is such that the object under investigation can be accomodated between them; a light filter and a recording device. Also included is a polarizing beam splitter. The two non-linear optical frequency doublers are oriented in such a way that the directions of polarization of the fast waves are at right angles to each other and do not coincide with the directions of polarization which can be separated by the beam splitter and light source.
