Patent EP-1041056-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KUBO SHUNICHI
IPC: C22C49/02
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: A composite material having a carbon matrix, and
a titanium-copper alloy dispersed in the carbon matrix and
containing 1-80 % by weight of titanium and 15.4-99 % by
weight of copper. The titanium-copper alloy is present in
an amount of 2-85 % based on a total weight of the carbon
matrix and the titanium-copper alloy. The composite
material may additionally contain carbon fibers dispersed
in the carbon matrix. The composite material is produced
by incorporating powder or melt of titanium and copper or
copper alloy into a shaped body of carbon.

Abstract: A gradient coil assembly generates substantially linear magnetic gradients across the central
portion of an examination region. The gradient coil assembly includes primary x, y, and
z-gradient coils which generate a gradient magnetic field  (90)  having a non-zero first
derivative in and adjacent the examination region. Preferably, the gradient coil assembly
includes secondary, shielding x, y, and z coils which generate a magnetic field which
substantially cancels, in an area outside a region defined by the shielding coils, a fringe
magnetic field generated by the primary gradient coils. The existence of a non-zero first
derivative in and adjacent the examination region eliminates aliasing effects attributable to
the non-unique gradient field values on either side of a rollover point  (82) . The non-unique
values of the gradient magnetic field adjacent the rollover point caused structure near the
rollover point to overlay each other. The unique non-linearity of the present gradient  (90) 
adjacent the edges expands (magnifies) the image adjacent the edges. Because the
expansion is unique, distortions at the edges are readily and accurately mapped back to
linear.

Abstract: In a system and method for controlling a reflection line in a CAD system and for adjusting
the shape of an object to correspond to a new reflection line, a user sets a reflection line as
desired, and at least one constraint on the object. The system determines a shape of the
object based on the new reflection line and the constraint. The shape of the object may be
determined using energy minimization. Alternatively, the system and method may use vector
springs to attract the reflection line to a free-form curve set by the user, and then determine
the shape of the object based on the new reflection line and the constraint.

Abstract: A fluid transfer device comprising a hollow piercing element having a first
end for receiving a standard syringe nose or other similar medical device and a
second end having a tapered tip for accessing fluid inside a medication container is
disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the device has a disk-shaped stop for limiting
entry of the piercing element into the vial. Preferably, the piercing element includes
outwardly extending barbs which allow the device to be inserted into a vial but
which prevent the device from being removed from the vial after insertion. After
the syringe is disengaged from the device, the device and spent medication vial may
be discarded as a unit. Alternatively, the device can remain attached to the vial, and
a new syringe can be used to withdraw additional fluid from the vial when desired.
In an alternate embodiment, a reusable, resealable valve is connected to the first
end of the piercing element, which valve allows multiple syringes to be used with
the piercing element. Various adaptors for using the device with intravascular (IV)
lines and drip-bags are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a more productive method for
face-to-face weaving pile fabrics with high pile density
whereby two backing fabrics are woven one above the other in
which groups of three weft yarns (1-3), (4-6) are inwoven
in respective openings between binding warp yarns (7), (8),
(9) (10) crossing each other, and in which non-pile-forming
pile warp yarns are inwoven, while pile warp yarns are
alternately interlaced in the top and the bottom backing
fabric over a weft yarn according to a two-shot weave.
According to this method in series of four successive weft
insertion cycles in each case three weft yarns (1), (2), (3)
are inserted for the top backing fabric (30) and three weft
yarns (4), (5), (6) for the bottom backing fabric (31). For
this purpose use can be made of a weaving machine that is
provided in order to insert two weft yarns one above the
other per weft insertion cycle and by weft disengagement or
weft cancellation in the course of two cycles per series to
insert only one weft yarn. With a pile change between a
pile-forming pile warp yarn that after the pile change is
inwoven in one of the fabrics as dead pile warp yarn, and a
dead pile warp yarn inwoven in that same fabric that after
the pile change forms pile, the two pile warp yarns are
interlaced over a weft yarn that is not along the back in
order to prevent annoying double points on the fabric back.

raw image data from the front end memory (124), formats the image data, and
transmits the enhanced image data to the back end memory (126). The image data
signals and the processor instruction signals are separated and transmitted over
separate buses and bus interfaces to minimize processor I/O wait states and
parasitic capacitance.
