Abstract: An artificial disc for a human spine has upper (26) and lower (28) members hinged together at their rear portions and biased apart at their fronts by stiff coil springs (72). Rear stop surfaces (103) limit the opening movement of the members. Vertically projecting tabs (46,64) at the front and side of each member are rigidly screwed to the adjacent vertebrae. Tolerances between the pin (66) and apertures (60,62) of the hinge allow limited side to side rocking. The disc and screws are made of titanium alloy or cobalt chrome alloy. In a modified version the hinge pin (66) is replaced by cables tying the members together.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing one or more nozzles (13) for an ink jet printhead initially comprises bonding a nozzle plate (14) to the ink ejection end of the printhead (16). A mask (12) is then secured in contact with the nozzle plate (14), the mask having a plurality of apertures (15) each defining a respective nozzle exit. Laser radiation applied to the mask exposes the areas defined by the apertures to ablate the plate material between the nozzle exits on the external surface of the plate and corresponding nozzle inlets on the opposite surface of the plate. The assembly comprising the printhead (16), plate (14) and mask (12) is rocked during the exposure step to increase the area of the nozzle inlet relative to its outlet. Also, prior to the nozzle formation step, one or more ink troughs (22) may be provided for supplying an external source of ink for each nozzle. The ink troughs (22), which may be formed using laser ablation techniques similar to those used in the formation of the nozzles, facilitate a continuous, positive flow of ink through the nozzles.

Abstract: Etherification process comprises an effluent from catalyzed reaction of an olefin with an alcohol is separated into two fractions, a primary fraction rich in ether and a second fraction containing residual alcohol and nitrogen compounds. Before recycling, the latter is treated to remove at least 50% concentration of nitrogen compounds by addition of acidic absorbent mass. An etherification process comprises: (1) contact of an alcohol and a light olefin charge, containing nitrogen products liable to deactivate the catalyst, in the presence of an acid catalyst; (2) separation of the effluents to obtain a primary ether-rich fraction and a second fraction containing most of the residual alcohol and nitrogen compounds; and (3) recycling of the second fraction to the reaction zone. Prior to recycling to the reaction zone, the second fraction is contacted with an acidic adsorbent mass to lower the content of nitrogen compounds by at least 50%. An Independent claim is also included for the installation to effect the process.

Abstract: An improved method of aligning the bearing components within a scroll compressor (20) includes the step of mounting the crankcase (44) to be an interference fit within the center shell (40), and having a surface abutting a true upper surface of the shell. This ensures that the axis of the bearing in the crankcase is idealized and centered on the center axis of the center shell. At the same time, the lower bearing (32) is mounted on the lower end cap (34), and is also cut to be concentric with a force fit outer surface of the end cap. This ensures the lower bearing is also centered on the inner periphery of the center shell. Once it is ensured the center shell is true, then it is also thus ensured the upper (48) and lower bearings are aligned on a common axis. An improved lower bearing structure with a reverse taper is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A master-slave distributed communications network includes a master node, a plurality of slave nodes. Each slave node is configured to store an address of the next node for a message to be routed on an uplink to the master node, and when sending a data packet to the master node it appends the pre-stored address and forwards the data packet to the next node thus lengthening the data packet, as the data packet is progressed from the slave nodes to the master node. For a downlink message, the master node using a pre-stored routing table includes in the data packet the addresses of all the slave nodes on the selected route. As the data packet is progressed from slave node to slave node, the address of each slave node which has forwarded the data packet is deleted thus shortening the overall length of the data packet.

Hem and cord arrangement also used to improve fixation of one prosthetic component to another in a modular graft. In another embodiment, an attachment tab has one part affixed to the outer periphery of the graft and another part attached to an area adjacent to the body lumen upon implantation, to resist forces tending to move the implant.

Abstract: An MRAM memory is proposed which gives a maximum read-out signal. This is advantageous for high-speed sensing of the MRAM bits. In an MRAM memory with magnetoresistive memory cells linked together to form logically organized rows and columns, It is obtained by, at least during writing, connecting write bitlines of two adjacent rows or columns with each other, so as to write inverse data values in two adjacent memory cells. In this way, a return path for the writing current is provided in a small loop, which enhances EMC behavior.
