Abstract: A method for manufacturing polyolefin foam beads by a
continuous process is disclosed by which the polyolefin foam
beads can be produced with increased efficiency and
productivity. 
     The method comprises a step of impregnating foaming
agent into polyolefin resin by mixing polyolefin resin
particles, water and the foaming agent in a impregnation
chamber under heat and pressure, followed by a step of
storing the polyolefin resin containing the foaming agent in
a storing chamber under heat and pressure. Thereafter, the
resin particles are subjected to a foaming step by
continuously or intermittently discharging the resin
particles from the storing chamber to a low pressure
expansion chamber by utilizing a discharging device, in the
same time period when a next batch of polyolefin resin is
added and mixed in the impregnation chamber after being
supplied with the resin particles from a resin supply
chamber.

Abstract: An active clamp circuit is provided on the
primary side of a complex resonance type switching
converter having a voltage resonance type converter on
the primary side and a parallel resonant circuit on the
secondary side. The active clamp circuit clamps a
parallel resonance voltage pulse generated across a
primary-side parallel resonant capacitor to thereby
suppress the level of the parallel resonance voltage
pulse. Thus, products having low withstand voltage may
be selected for components such as switching devices and
the primary-side parallel resonant capacitor provided in
the power supply circuit. An auxiliary switching device
Q2 of the active clamp circuit is driven by a
self-oscillation circuit formed by winding a wire of the
primary winding of an insulating converter transformer by
1T. Thus, the circuit system for driving the active
clamp circuit is simplified, thereby improving power
conversion efficiency and miniaturizing the power supply
circuit.

Abstract: A frequency determination circuit (204) determines, with a high
precision, whether the frequency of a clock signal (CLK) is higher or lower than a
reference frequency. A capacitor element (251) is charged/discharged with a power
supply voltage (VDD) that is cycled by a switching transistor according to the clock
signal. A comparator circuit (215) compares a constant reference voltage produced
by a band-gap regulator (211) circuit from the power supply voltage with a voltage
stored in the capacitor element. A high/low determination circuit (216) determines,
from the output signal of the comparator circuit, whether the clock signal
frequency is higher or lower than a predetermined reference frequency. This
makes it possible to determine with precision whether the clock signal has a low frequency or
a high frequency.

Abstract: The system images the volume of a turbid medium and detects the contents. The medium can be water or air, or living tissue, or
almost any other material which is at least partially light-transmissive. The system includes a light source for producing a series of discrete
fan-shaped pulse beams that are substantially uniform in intensity or have been peaked at the edges of the fan to illuminate sections of
the medium, a streak tube with a large, thin-slit-shaped photocathode for collecting the maximum amount of light from weak returns, a
field-limiting slit disposed in front of the cathode for removing multiply scattered light, a large-aperture optical element for collecting and
focusing the reflected portions of the pulse beam on the field-limiting slit and the cathode, and an array of detectors. A volume display of
the medium is generated by translating the transmitter and receiver normal to the longitudinal axis of the pulse beam, to illuminate adjacent
sections of the medium, and combining the sections to provide a volume display. All, or substantially all, of the light returned from each
pulse beam is used. Vehicle motion can be used to provide the scan of the beam. Applications range from foggy sky surveillance at
multiple-kilometer scale to location of fractional-millimeter tumors in a human breast.

part or all of the optical amplifying repeaters, and
transmits a supervisory command to the specified optical
amplifying repeaters as a first sub-signal via an uplink
or downlink optical transmission line (602). The
supervisory command is a command to supervise internal
circuits of the optical amplifying repeaters. Receiving
the supervisory command addressed thereto via the uplink
or downlink optical transmission line, the optical
amplifying repeaters each transmit a supervisory signal
indicating a supervisory result corresponding to the
supervisory command to optical receivers (612) via the
uplink and downlink optical transmission lines as a second
sub-signal. The optical system can reduce the time take
to acquire the supervisory information about the plurality

Abstract: A surgical stapling instrument comprises a frame having a body portion and a handle. A staple fastening assembly is provided in the distal region of the instrument and includes a cartridge device, which comprises at least one closed row (10, 12) of staples, and an anvil. The anvil is movable relative to the cartridge device and is adapted to cooperate with the cartridge device for forming the ends of the staples exiting from the cartridge device. A knife, which has a closed cutting edge, is contained within the cartridge device and is positioned such that there is at least one closed row (10, 12) of staples on the outside of the cutting edge. It can be moved towards the anvil. The line along which the closed row (10, 12) of staples is arranged has a stepped shape, leaving a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the staple fastening assembly, such that this line has a larger total length than the projection of this line onto this plane. This provides a greater flexibility of the anastomotic site and less tension during instrument removal, alleviating the incidence of clinical complications. <IMAGE>
