Abstract: The method entails controlling the peak voltage input into the laser circuit, additive modulating NRZ (non-return to zero) data signals to produce an additive modulated control voltage into the laser circuit when laser output signals exceed a threshold value that exists when the level of NRZ data signals of the additive modulated control equals the peak voltage input at a stable operating point, amplitude modulating the NRZ data signals to produce an amplitude modulated control voltage, subtractively combining the additive modulated control voltage and the amplitude modulated control voltage when laser output signals exceed the threshold value to produce a combined voltage value and directing the combined voltage value to the laser circuit when the laser output signals exceed the threshold value to operate the laser circuit in a stable and constant input voltage level for all NRZ data signal levels. The peak voltage input into the laser circuit is controlled using a voltage control attenuator circuit. The current bias of the laser circuit is controlled using an average power control circuit that senses and controls the average power output from the laser circuit. The laser output signal level is measured using a sync. detector filter circuit.

Abstract: A clip applier and method for ligating a tissue structure is provided. The applier has a two stage actuation. In the first stage, a tissue structure is positioned into the jaws of the clip applier The jaws close and lock to a preset force to compress and temporarily occlude the tissue structure. If satisfactorily positioned, the second stage is initiated in which a clip is advanced through the shaft of the clip applier in a closed position. At the distal end of the clip applier, the clip is opened slightly to capture the pre-compressed tissue structure, and is placed over the structure. The clip is then dissociated from the business end of the instrument. Preferably the clip comprises two leg members disposed in close proximity to one another joined from opposing directions by a connecting element. The connecting element restricts separation of the leg members with opposing spring members so as to provide substantially uniform parallel deflection of the leg members from each other. <IMAGE>

Title: Hemostatic patch
Inventor: PRUSS THADDEUS P
IPC: A61L15/64
Filed: 1994-11-03
Granted: 2004-08-11
Abstract: A fibrogen-free substrate having as a hemostatic agent on a surface thereof a mixture of a clot-promoting amount of thrombin and an amount of epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) effective to accelerate the rate of blood clotting induced by the thrombin is useful as a hemostatic patch which is safe, inexpensive and which rapidly controls bleeding from a wound. A patch which rapidly stanches the flow of blood from a lesion on a parenchymal organ by pressing it against the surface of the organ for 3-5 minutes, is produced by applying thrombin, EACA and CaCl2 to a rigid sheet of biodegradable foam, such as an absorbable gelatin sponge, and compressing the dry sheet to produce a flexible sheet which conforms to the contour of the organ without the necessity of pre-moistening. The problem associated with thrombin-fibrinogen glues of adhesion of the wounded surface of the organ to adjacent tissue is avoided by applying the hemostatic agent to only the wound-contacting face of the sheet.

Abstract: Image processing methods and apparatus by which images in the spatial domain can be represented in the frequency domain through the use of discrete cosine transforms, conveniently operated on to achieve scaling and filtering effects while in the frequency domain, and then retransformed to the spatial domain or stored, displayed, reproduced or transmitted to distant locations for subsequent reuse. The scaling techniques which the invention utilizes can be for image enlargement by interpolation or image reduction by decimation. In the case of decimation, a filtering operation preferably is first performed in the frequency domain to avoid artifacts in the decimation process. The filtering operation is mathematically equivalent to a linear convolution in the spatial domain as a consequence of the properties of the DCT transformation. In both interpolation and decimation procedures, use is made of a hybrid inverse discrete cosine transform in which the series of cosine terms are evaluated at values arrived at by scaling ratio considerations, rather than the usual sampling index increments. As a consequence, image data points other than original image data in the spatial domain can be created or replaced by an approximation technique which involves transforming the image data points to frequency space by a series of terms that can be considered to be continuous over the range of the sampling index corresponding to the original image data.

Abstract: This invention concerns a process for increasing the molecular weight and viscosity of polyamides and other condensation polymers, by first injecting an inert gas into the polymer melt at elevated pressure, then stripping the volatiles from the polymer through the application of reduced pressure, followed by holding the polymer at elevated temperatures long enough for the reaction to occur. Activators may be added to the polymer. Port areas used in the stripping zone, may be kept hot for continuous operation.
