Filed: 1992-05-28
Granted: 1994-06-09
Abstract: A rotary filtration system comprising a device having a fluid filtration gap between a filter and a rotating member (e.g., a disc), a filter pack for use in the rotary filtration device, and a cartridge formed by structurally connecting (and optionally fluidly connecting) two or more of the filter packs is disclosed. In the filter pack, the filter lies adjacent a permeate collection member, which also desirably can support the filter. The permeate collection member has one or more passageways for collecting the permeate that flows through the filter and is connected to a permeate collection header in the device. The filter pack and device are designed so that the filter pack may be easily inserted into and removed from the device, preferably by moving the filter pack in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft that rotates the rotating member. Desirably the rotating member and/or filter has one or more spiral grooves in fluid communication with fluid in the gap. Several rotating members and filter packs may be interleaved to increase filtration device capacity and make more efficient use of equipment space. In such a device, the rotating members can be mounted on a common shaft for rotation in unison and can have spiral grooves on both major faces of each rotating member.

Title: Surgical access device and method of constructing same
Inventor: BACICH STEVEN R
IPC: A61B1/32
Filed: 1997-02-13
Granted: 2000-08-10
Abstract: A surgical access device comprises an introducer (100) with a main endoscopic channel and an auxiliary or secondary instrument channel. The introducer exhibits an extremely narrow cross-sectional profile in order to minimize the size of the portal or other entry point necessary to gain access into the patient's body, thereby minimizing pain and discomfort to the patient and allowing a wide variety of endoscopic procedures to be performed on an out-patient basis. The narrow profile of the introducer is maintained upon introduction by a guide channel (118) which can be stored in a first position so as to closely conform to the profile of the introducer. The guide channel is provided with a set in order to maintain its stored position upon introduction; however, post introductively, the set in the guide channel can be readily realeased in order to deploy the guide channel and allow insertion of a secondary surgical instrument. The guide channel can be provided with rails or other tracks in order to ensure accurate movement at the instrument to the desired distal location. The guide channel is constructed from a thin but extremely strong and noncompliant membrane material. The present invention also comprises a method of construction and use of the surgical access device.

Title: Process for the production of analytical devices
Inventor: SCHWOBEL WOLFGANG
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1999-04-01
Granted: 2002-01-31
Abstract: To produce analyzing materials, especially test strips for fluid samples with an active capillary zone, a carrier layer (1) is prepared and a spacer layer (2) is laminated over one surface. A contour is cut, stamped or embossed from the laminated material to match the shape of the capillary-active zone (8), and any surplus spacer layer material is peeled away from the zone. A covering layer (11) is applied over the spacer layer to give the zone with an active capillary action. The spacer layer is a strip which is adhesive on both sides. The covering layer is in one or more parts, and is at least partially of an analysis indication film as described in P19629656.0. The spacer layer is laminated in place directly before the shape of the capillary active zone is cut. The removal of spacer layer material not required to form the capillary zone is directly after cutting. The carrier, spacer and the covering layers are prepared as ribbon materials. The contour is cut by a rotary cutting roller, in a continuous cut against a counter roller. After the covering layer has been applied, the strips are separated by cutting or stamping.

Title: Method and apparatus for recording digital video signals
Inventor: OIKAWA YUKA
IPC: H04N11/02
Filed: 1995-08-18
Granted: 1998-02-12
Abstract: In a technique for recording digital video signals, digital video signals in the form of DCT coefficients, obtained by e.g. discrete cosine transformation, are quantized and compressed so as to be recorded on a recording medium. A first quantization step decision unit (23) determines a quantization step in terms of a video segment made up of plural macro-blocks as a unit so that the quantity of quantized data is less than a pre-set data quantity. A second quantization step decision unit (24) determines a quantization step in terms of the macro-blocks as a unit so that the quantity of quantized data is less than the pre-set data quantity. A quantization unit (25) quantizes the digital video signals with quantization steps determined by the first and second quantization step decision units (23, 24). This enables efficient encoding and improved picture quality. <MATH>

Title: Fibre optic polarizer with error signal feedback
Inventor: PAVLATH GEORGE A
IPC: G02B6/26
Filed: 1984-08-20
Granted: 1986-10-30
Abstract: This invention provides apparatus and methods for converting a lightwave of an arbitrary polarization propagating in a single mode optical fiber into a wave having a single linear polarization state. A polarization couples light of an undesired polarization out of the fiber, and a photodetector produces an error signal responsive to light coupled from the fiber. Control circuitry processes the error signal to produce control signals which are input to a polarization of light input to the polarizer to null the error signal. With the error signal maintained at a minimum value the light input to the polarizer and, hence, the light output therefrom is a wave having only the desired linear polarization.
