Abstract: A CO₂ (10.6 micron) medical delivery end probe (21) is described which enables line-of-sight viewing of a surgical site internally within a body within the very same endoscope (12) used to house the probe (21). The end probe (21) includes two different sections of n<1 air core hollow waveguides (23 and 28), obliquely related to one another. A mirror (27) is positioned to reflect radiation from the exit end of the initial guide (23) to the entry end of the main section (28). A bridge (35) which is especially adapted for use in an endoscope with both such a probe (21) and a telescope (14) is also described. Moreover, an adaptor having the initial optical guide section (23) discussed above enabling straight end probes to be used is also described.

Abstract: Ceramic spheres containing crystallites of the popular crystal tourmaline are produced by sintering. Water that has flowed through a vessel (1) containing a large amount of the ceramic spheres (2) has been found to show the interface activity, such as emulsification, washing and permeation. This activity endures for a couple of days. An excess of isolated hydroxil ion (H₃O₂)- occuring in the water likely causes the activity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method by which permeable contact lenses (19) may be cleaned through electrokinetic phenomenon is disclosed. The apparatus includes an receptacle 20 in which a lens is supportively aligned between terminals (40) by a member (50) or members (50, 51) made from a pliant transmission media. As aligned, an electric current will be focused to flow only through the lens (15) in order to efficiently and quickly decontaminate the lens. 
     At least one surface (16) of the lens (15) is in intimate contact with a complementary shaped surface (50b) of a transmission media member (50). The other lens surface (18) may be in similar contact with an appropriately shaped surface (51b) of another transmission media member (51) or may be in contact with an electrically-conductive fluid (70) which either directly contacts a terminal 40 or indirectly contacts it through a reduced size media member (51). 
     Again, one or each transmission media members (50, 51) may be indirect contact with the respective terminals (40) or through the intermediary of a fluid (36) connection. 
     Two receptacles (20) may be mounted within a housing (12) embodying suitable circuitry (14) feeding terminals (40).

Abstract: A control system utilizes a multiplex communication system for switchably operating power windows, power seats, power door locks, power mirrors, accessory lighting, etc. Switches mounted on the driver door and elsewhere communicate with a door-mounted microcomputer, which scans the state of each switch, prioritizes the requests, and issues commands in accordance with algorithms to control the windows, door locks, etc. The system has three modes of operation: Asleep, Active, and Awake. In the Asleep mode electrical power consumption is very small, and only a selected few input sensors are periodically monitored as to status. If a door handle is lifted or other action starts, the system changes to an Active mode, in which many more sensors are periodically scanned, and most output motors can be operated. In the Awake mode, windows can also be operated.

Abstract: 2.1 Multiple conversion superhet receives, that is to say receivers with multiple frequency conversion, have been known for a long time and are used in preference in radio telephony devices. The radio-frequency carrier oscillation of the transmit oscillator is in most cases supplied to a first receive mixer. Due to the dual utilisation of the transmit oscillator, the intermediate-frequency signal also contains, in addition to the modulation of the received signal, modulation signal components originating from the transmit device. To suppress these components, a compensating device arranged between transmit device and multiple conversion superhet receive device which exhibits an amplifier and a phase-shifting element is in most cases used. 
<??>2.2 The suppression of the modulation signal components originating from the transmit device can be improved by the compensating device containing a frequency control circuit with a voltage-controlled oscillator, the nominal frequency of which corresponds to the sum or to the difference of the first and second intermediate frequency and which is connected to the second receive mixer.

Abstract: One of the mating connector housings has a locking arm and the other connector housing has an engagement sleeve that receives the locking arm. The locking arm rises through a base at the front outer circumference of the first housing and extends axially rearwardly. The locking arm has guide means formed at the base. The engagement sleeve has engagement groove means formed in side walls thereof that extend axially from the front opening toward the rear and which receives the guide means. When the paired connector housings are connected together, the guide means of the locking arm are received into the engagement groove means in the engagement sleeve to prevent the weak portion of the connector housing formed with the locking arm from being deformed, thus providing a good locking feel and also an adequate engagement stroke. This makes the complete connection of the connector housings easily verifiable.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiple channel sine synthesiser for primary signal generation in measuring signal generators with a phase accumulator (11), a low-pass filter (12), an intermediate first synthesis channel (13) and a clock control unit (25) for conversion of a phase increment occurring on the phase accumulator (11) into a sine signal. In synthesisers of this type, the problem arises of a relatively low maximum frequency of the sine signal to be generated, since the latter is limited by alias frequency effects, for which reason it is provided, in order to increase the maximum frequency with the same clock frequency, that at least one further modified synthesis channel (26) operating in time-shifted fashion is disposed parallel to the synthesis channel (13), to which an additive phase value, which is constant at a given frequency, is also applied on the input side and that each further synthesis channel (26) receives an individually time-shifted clock signal via the clock control unit (25), so that a sine signal is produced at the output of an analog adder (15), which has a maximum frequency which is considerably increased compared with the single-channel synthesiser (13), where the effective (Nyquist) sampling rate is increased proportionally with the parallel synthesis channels (26) and an adequate attenuation of the alias frequency components is achieved with the low-pass filter (12). …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: Circuit points in an integrated circuit (IC) (11) are monitored at pads (15) normally used to carry information between ports of a normal source (37,41) on the IC (such as input/output points of a cache control), and a memory unit off the IC.

Each pad (15) is shared by a port of the normal source (the cache control (37,41)) and a pair of alternative sources (43,53) to be monitored. During times when the alternative sources are accessed through a pad (15), they are connected to it alternately, so that, on a first level, each pad is shared between a normal source (37) and a pair of alternative sources (43,53), and, on a second level, each such pad is shared between the two alternative sources (43,53) when they are being accessed.

Abstract: A signal processing system includes means (not shown) for performing a logic function on a multi-dimensional array of information (a₁₁...a HW ) stored in a memory ( 10). Typically, the memory stores two-dimensional video informarion (pixels), and the logic function is a discrete cosine transform (DCT), or other linear operation. The logic function is performed on both rows (a₁₁...a 1 W   ) and columns (a₁₁...a H1 ) of the information. In the prior art, this has required two memory spaces so that information could be written into one memory while being read out of another memory. In the present invention, a single memory space (10) is used to transpose the information between row and column format, by performing a read-modify-write operation on each memory location in a specified sequence provided by an address generator (13).
