Abstract: A spinal implant is adapted for translateral insertion into a disc space between two vertebrae. The implant has a mid-longitudinal axis and opposed arcuate portions for engaging each of the adjacent vertebral bodies. A maximum cross sectional dimension transverse to the mid-longitudinal axis is in a range of 22mm to 30mm. The translateral spinal fusion implant of the present invention has a good surface area of contact and permits a good stability so as to withstand torque, and in case of a threaded implant, increases the depth which any threads are able to penetrate the vertebrae. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Des informations vidéo destinées à l'affichage sur un écran (1) vidéo contiennent non seulement les informations principales telles que des images de film (2) mais également des informations d'incrustation telles que des informations graphiques (3) ou des sous-titres (4). Ces différentes informations, émises séparément, sont codées sous forme de paquets de symboles numériques dans lesquels une page d'informations d'incrustation est représentée par un groupe de paquets. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à affecter à tous les paquets des informations d'identification (25, 26, 27) concernant la relation d'un paquet avec le groupe, ce qui permet de s'assurer qu'une page d'informations d'incrustation a été entièrement reçue. Cela évite d'afficher sur l'écran vidéo des pages incomplètes ou des combinaisons incomplètes de parties de pages. Ce procédé gère avantageusement les situations d'interruption de la réception du signal vidéo, comme en cas de perturbation du signal TV ou en cas d'utilisation d'un disque ou d'une bande vidéo en modes spéciaux tels que l'avance rapide.

Title: Method for the common transmission of digital and analogue modulated radio broadcasting and/ or television broadcasting signals
Inventor: SIEGLE GERT
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 1996-09-19
Abstract: A method is described that is used for common transmission of digital- and analog-modulated radio and/or television signals, in particular over a broad band cable system (30). The method includes transmitting at least one digital radio and/or television signal along with an analog television signal in one and the same channel, in which the frequency spectrum of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal is limited to a frequency range that is less than the width of the at least one channel. To lessen the influence of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal on the analog television signal, the at least one digital radio and/or television signal must fall below a predetermined signal level, and the peak level of the analog television signal must exceed a predetermined value, which is markedly higher than the predetermined signal level of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal. To prevent cross-modulation between analog- and digital-modulated radio and/or television signals, the amplitude of the frequency spectrum of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal must fall below a predetermined value, which is markedly lower than the amplitude of the video carrier of the analog television signal.

Abstract: One end of a flexible positioning cord 22 is fixed on one end side of a moulding drum 1 and the positioning cord 22 is then pulled from the other end side thereby applying a tension to the positioning cord 22. The tensed positioning cord 22 presses a joint 12 of an extensible fabric 10 into one of tooth part forming grooves 3 to position it therein. Next, a tension member cord is wound in a spiral form and the tension applied to the positioning cord 22 is then relieved to allow the removal of the positioning cord 22 from the tooth part forming groove 3. Thereafter, an unvulcanized rubber sheet is wrapped around the extensible fabric wound with the tension member cord, and the resultant substance is then subjected to cure through the application of pressure thereby forming a cylindrical slab. The slab is cut into round pieces at specific widths thereby obtaining synchronous belts. In this manner, there is obtained the synchronous belt in which the joint 12 of the extensible fabric 10 is positioned in the tooth part forming groove of the moulding drum so as to avoid movement and is correctly located on a tooth tip end of a tooth part.

Abstract: The invention provides a scintillation crystal module having
an epoxy seal which has a coefficient of thermal expansion which
is substantially the same as the backcap (14) of the gamma camera.
Among the suitable epoxy systems, the CTE of the epoxy could be
modified somewhat by choosing a different catalyst or by
adjusting the resin:catalyst ratio. The presently preferred
epoxy system is a STYCAST® 2850 FT system available from W.R.
Grace & Co. Using "catalyst 9" or "catalyst 11" from that
system, a CTE of approximately 17.33x10 -6  to approximately
19.4x10 -6  in/in°F can be easily achieved. It has been discovered
through analysis using FEA that an epoxy with a CTE in the range
of 9.0 to 20.0x10 -6  in/in°F provides satisfactory results in
preventing seal separation during ±40°F temperature cycles. A
method of making a scintillation crystal module according to the
invention includes the preparation of an epoxy seal (18) having a
coefficient of thermal expansion which is substantially the same
as the backcap (14) of the module, and assembling the seal, backcap,
glass (16), and crystal (12) in a conventional manner.

Abstract: The invention is a data pipeline system which synchronizes the display of digitized audio and video data regardless of the speed at which the data was recorded on its linear medium. To do this, the video data is played at a constant speed, synchronized by the audio speed. Further, the invention uses a method of "staging" data in storage buffers, i.e, ring buffers, which encourages efficient use of the viewer module resources by not permitting the viewer to read excessive amounts of data at any one time, i.e., to read only enough data into any one ring buffer so that the amount of data in the ring buffer is roughly equivalent to the amount of data in the other ring buffers and yet permitting the viewer to read large enough chunks of data to promote efficient use of the fill system.

Abstract: A non-riser valve assembly 30 includes a bonnet or housing 32, a bushing 34, a stem 36, a washer 38 and a stop 40. The assembly 30 further includes a coupling 42, a rotatable or movable disk 44, a fixed disk 46 and a bottom seal 48. In assembly, the bushing 34 and the stem 36 are located within an opening 50 of the housing 32 with the bushing being located between the housing and the stem. One of the stem 36 extends from one end of the opening 50 and the stop 40 is removably attached to the stem to limit the rotational movement of the stem within the housing. The coupling 42 is located in the opening 50 of the housing 32 and is in driving engagement with the opposite end of the stem 36. The movable disk 44 is located with the opening 50 and is coupled to the coupling 42 for rotation therewith. The fixed disk 46 is attached to the housing 32 within the opening 50 and is formed with a surface 224 which is in water-sealing engagement with a surface 162 of the movable disk 44. The disks 44 and 46 are formed with passages 164 and 218, respectively, the relative positioning of which is controlled by rotation of the stem 36 to control the flow of water therethrough.

Abstract: A magneto-optical recording medium of the present
invention has a recording layer made of a perpendicular
magnetization film, and a readout layer which is in an
in-plane magnetization state at room temperature and
changes into a perpendicular magnetization state with a
rise in temperature. When the magneto-optical
recording medium is irradiated with a light beam, the
readout layer separates into three regions: a region in
an in-plane magnetization state, a region in a
perpendicular magnetization state, and a region having
a temperature not lower than the Curie temperature
thereof. Only the region in the perpendicular
magnetization state allows copying of the magnetization
of the recording layer. Therefore, even when the
diameter and intervals of recording bits on the
recording layer are very small, it is possible to
reproduce a target recording bit separately from a
recording bit adjacent to the target recording bit.

engine is also monitored. A time period elapsed after the
detected traveling speed of the vehicle drops below a
predetermined vehicle speed and at the same time the
detected rotational speed of the engine drops below a
predetermined rotational speed after detection of the
stoppage signal is measured. The at least one of the at

power to the control means is interrupted when the time
period measured by the timer means exceeds a predetermined
