Patent EP-0578320-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ALLARD RANDALL N
IPC: A61B17/58
Filed: 1993-07-05
Abstract: The coupler of this invention includes a two-piece coupler (10) for a spinal rod (44) including a yoke (12) and a coupler body (14) which may be positioned to clamp onto the spinal rod at an angle other than perpendicular relative to the rod. The yoke (12) and body (14) permit the spinal rod (44) to be positioned plus or minus 15 degrees out of true perpendicular relative to the rod without sacrificing clamping strength. This advantage is particularly useful when the couplers are connected to a rod-to-rod interconnecting device to permit the rods to be less than parallel relative to one another. The accommodation of less than parallel rods or the non-perpendicular connection of device to the spinal rods reduces the non-functional exact positioning of the spinal rods during surgery as is required by current couplers. Further, the coupler (10) can be placed from a superior position requiring minimal space without the need for screws to provide fixation to the rod.

Abstract: The combination of an ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer and a water soluble amine salt of fatty acid is useful as a hydrophilic coating for the surfaces of aluminum sheets and the like, for example fins in a heat exchanger. The exchanger is more efficient because the coating prevents the blockage of air flow by beads of condensed water which would otherwise build up in the narrow spaces between the fins.

Abstract: A figure 1 is taken by a camera having optical/electrical elements arrayed in matrix, signals of pixels of the picture taken by the camera 2 are converted into binary data in a binary circuit 11, and the binary data is temporarily stored in a binary data storage device 12. The reference point O is determined on the edge of the figure, and radius L of the circle scanning line 21 is determined based on the shape of the figure, and the reference point O and the radius L of the circle scanning line 21 are inputted through an input unit 13. Coordinate data of pixels on the circle scanning line 21 is operated based on the inputted numeric values in an arithmetic circuit 15. Binary data on pixels corresponding to coordinate data are read in the detector 16. When the pixel corresponding to the edge of the figure 1 is detected, a vector directed from the reference point O to the pixel is decided, and first and second drives 7, 8 are driven according to the vector.

Abstract: The resistor unit (10) comprises resistors (12,14,16) connected to electrical terminals (24,26,28,30,32) secured to an insulating plate to which first and second legs (64,66) of a spring sheet metal mounting clip (60) are secured for insertion through an opening in a supporting wall. The legs (64,66) are bent forwardly from a rear member and are formed with first and second spring latching members including ramp portions bent laterally from the legs (64,66), shoulder portions bent inwardly from the ramp portions for wedging engagement with edge portions of the wall, and front end portions bent forwardly from the inner ends of the shoulder portions. A soft resilient expanded rubber gasket is mounted on the plate for sealing engagement with a rib projecting forwardly from the wall around the opening. The spring force produced by compression of the gasket is counterbalanced by the wedging action of the shoulder portions, so that rattling is prevented. The legs (64,66) are inserted with an interference fit into opposite end portions of the opening. The rear clip member and the opening have similar nonsymmetrical shapes affording unique orientation of the resistor unit (10). The clip (60) also protects the resistors from damage during shipment.

Abstract: In order to improve accuracy of memory access time measurements, a preliminary step of tester autocalibration is performed. It consists to determine the propagation delays of the global transmission lines (13) which connect the output terminals of the tester (11) to the adequate I/O contact pads of the DUT (Device Under Test), typically a memory chip (12), each of said global transmission line being comprised of an ideal transmission line element: the coaxial cable (13-1) and an imperfect transmission line element: the probing head (13-2) which includes the contact probe (16-1). The novel method of auto-calibration includes the steps of:
     the DUT being removed (to have contact probes disconnected from the DUT contact pads), measure the reflection delay To for each open terminated global transmission line as standard;   all the contact probes now being grounded, measure the reflection delay Ts for each short terminated global transmission line;   determine a reflection coefficient G for each global transmission line that is given by        G = (R-Rc)/(R+Rc)          wherein R is either the DUT input impedance (case the global transmission line is connected to a DUT receiver) or DUT output impedance (case the global transmission line is connected to a DUT driver) and Rc is the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable of the global transmission line;   compute the value of the real propagation delay Ti of each global transmission line using the following formula:        Ti = To (1+G)/4 + Ts (1-G)/4          ;   load the obtained values in the memory of the tester for automatic calibration of each of the global transmission lines.

Title: Process for producing subsequently conditionable contact points on circuit substrates and circuit substrates with such contact points.
Inventor: SCHMIDT WALTER
IPC: H05K1/11
Filed: 1993-06-10
Abstract: The process for producing subsequently contactable contact points between two conductive track planes on a circuit substrate separated by an electrically insulating layer makes it possible to produce, for example, a basic conductor pattern which can subsequently be easily adapted to requirements. By laying windows in the conductive track planes out in such a way that, when the electrically insulating layer is subsequently through-etched due to under-etching, rod-like parts connected to the aperture periphery are revealed between or in the apertures which can be brought into contact with electrically conductive parts of the other conductive track plane, these conductive tracks can be electrically interconnected by mechanical bending.

Abstract: A method and means for asynchronous remote data duplexing at a distant location from copies based at a primary site storage subsystem, which copying is non-disruptive to executing applications, and further in which any data loss occasioned by losses in flight or updates never received at the time of any interruption between the primary and remote sites are accounted for at the remote site. The method assigns a token and unique sequence number responsive to each write operation at the primary site, and sends the tokens + numbers and data updates to the remote site. The method relies upon the sequence number to establish a sequence and define gaps therein to ascertain missing updates.
