Patent EP-0120943-A4 (EP)
Title: Automatic temperature measuring circuitry.
Inventor: BROWN NEIL L
IPC: G01K7/20
Filed: 1983-09-24
Abstract: An AC temperature measurement circuit utilizing a standard platinum resistance thermometer (14) (SPRT) which is supplied with a constant current (IREF) through a precision resistance (13). The voltage across the SPRT is multiplied by a fixed gain by means of a high gain AC feedback amplifier (18). The ratio of the output of the fixed gain AC feedback amplifier (23) to the AC reference voltage (ET) across the precision reference resistance is effectively determined using a digital-to-analog (D/A) transformer(15). The resistance value of the SPRT (14) is then determined as a function of the reference resistance value, the value of the fixed gain, and the value of such ratio. Appropriate means (16) are provided to determine the temperature represented by the resistance value of the SPRT.

Title: Sutures utilizing shape memory alloys
IPC: A61B17/06
Filed: 1991-02-20
Abstract: A suture and a suturing method are set forth for suturing a wound in the tissue of a patient and defined by tissue edges. The suture comprises an alloy member having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a first undeformed shape. It is deformable into a second deformed shape. The member has the property of recovering from its second shape towards its first shape upon the second shape being subjected to specified conditions. The first shape is a suturing loop adapted to draw and hold the tissue edges defining the wound together. The second shape is adapted to allow the member to be drawn through the tissue in position for the loop to form. The method comprises inserting such a member while it is in its second shape into position for it to assume its first suturing loop shape and subjecting it to conditions which cause it to recover towards its first shape.

Title: Circuit for judging motor rotation and apparatus for confirming motor stop using said circuit.
Inventor: SAKAI MASAYOSHI YONO OFF THE N
IPC: H02P25/098
Filed: 1993-03-31
Abstract: A circuit for judging the rotation of a motor, and an apparatus for confirming motor stop using this circuit. Threshold value is judged by the use of a fail-safe two-input window comparator by inputting a signal from a rotation sensor for detecting the rotation of a motor. More specifically, a predetermined threshold value range (window) is set to each of the terminals of the window comparator. When the sensor and the judgement circuit are normal and, moreover, the motor is at halt, a signal level inputted to each terminal is within the range of the window, and the window comparator outputs a logical value "1". When the sensor or the judgement circuit is out of order, the signal level of one of the input terminals is out of the range of the window, and thus the comparator output is logic 0. When the motor is rotating, the signal level of the other input terminal is out of the range of the window, so that the comparator output is logic 0. In this way, the stop state of the motor can be distinguished from its inertial rotation, and can be detected reliably.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne le transport de matériaux. Elle consiste à former un contenant structurel à partir du matériau et à appliquer une force au contenant pour transporter le matériau vers la destination qui lui a été assignée. Le contenant structurel se compose préférablement d'une colonne (32) qui permet la transmission des forces exercées le long de la colonne. En plaçant un matériau noyau (30) à l'intérieur de la colonne, dans le contenant, il est possible de transporter les deux matériaux en même temps. Les forces de confinement transmises tout le long de la colonne maintiennent le matériau noyau dans la colonne. La colonne (32) et le matériau noyau (30) peuvent être constitués de matériaux identiques ou différents, et peuvent être transportés selon des vélocités identiques ou différentes. En outre, le contenant structurel peut être transporté sous forme d'une colonne continue, le matériau noyau étant alors projeté au travers de l'intérieur creux de la colonne. Le contenant structurel peut également être transporté dans des unités modulaires distinctes, chaque unité contenant une quantité du matériau noyau.

Abstract: Technique permettant de générer des bibliothèques combinatoires non aléatoires sur des supports à phase solide dans lesquels chaque espèce d'une série d'espèces prédéterminées de composés de test est présente sur un nombre prédéterminé de supports à phase solide, de préférence sur un seul, chaque support à phase solide ne possédant qu'une seule espèce de composé de test. Chacune des espèces prédéterminées de composés de test est préparée avec une certitude absolue parce que la présente technique n'emploie pas la division aléatoire des supports à phase solide. Au contraire, le procédé est basé sur la division par étapes d'une matrice continue de support à phase solide avant chaque étape de synthèse dans laquelle plus d'un type de sous-unité est ajouté. Des exemples non exhaustifs de matrices de supports à phase solide comprennent les membranes en polypropylène, les membranes en polytétrafluoropropylène et le fil de coton. Les bibliothèques combinatoires obtenues à l'aide de la présente technique sont également décrites.

Title: High impedance test mode for jtag
Inventor: MOTE L RANDALL JR
IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 1996-09-26
Abstract: A specially configured JTAG test circuit allows multiple bus connections within an integrated circuit chip to be selectively placed in a high impedance state in an efficient manner. The output enable shift register locations are placed in close logical proximity to one another along the JTAG data shift register boundary scan path so that data bits need not be shifted into all of the data shift register locations within the integrated circuit chip in order to selectively enable and disable the several bus interfaces within the integrated circuit chip. In this manner, the integrated circuit chip may be isolated from selected ones of the buses connected to the integrated circuit chip, while other bus connections can remain enabled to drive others of the buses connected to the integrated circuit chip. Thus, problems associated with setting the entire integrated circuit chip in a high impedance mode are avoided.
