Title: Ballast circuits for gas discharge lamps
Inventor: VOS RAYMOND ARTHUR
IPC: H01F37/00
Filed: 1990-04-17
Granted: 1992-08-20
Abstract: A ballast circuit (1) includes a load circuit. A reservoir capacitor ((C5) is effective to supply charge to the load circuit. A capacitive charge pump circuit (C1, C2, C6, C7, D1, D2) is effective to transfer charge from a charge pump capacitive means (C2, C7) to the load circuit and to the reservoir capacitor (C5). The load circuit includes the primary winding of a transformer (T1). A secondary winding (T2) of this transformer is for connection across a discharge lamp (13). In operation of the ballast circuit (1), the primary winding of the transformer (T1) drives the capacitive charge pump circuit.

Title: Pipelined floating point adder for digital computer
Inventor: HAQ MUHAMMAND S
IPC: G06F7/50
Filed: 1990-04-27
Granted: 1992-09-24
Abstract: A system for subtracting two floating-point binary numbers in a pipelined floating-point adder/subtractor by aligning the two fractions for substraction; arbitrarily designating the fraction of one of the two floating-point numbers as the subtrahend, and producing the complement of that designated fraction; adding that complement to the other fraction, normalizing the result; determining whether the result is negative and, if it is, producing the complement of the normalized result; and selecting the larger of the exponents of the two floating-point numbers, and adjusting the value of the selected exponent in accordance with the normalization of the result. The preferred system produces a sticky bit signal by aligning the two fractions for subtraction by shifting one of the two fractions to the right; determining the number of consecutive zeros in the one fraction, prior to the shifting thereof, beginning at the least significant bit position; comparing the number of positions the one fraction is shifted in the aligning step, with the number of consecutive zeros in the one fraction; and producing a sticky bit signal when the number of consecutive zeros is less than the number of positions the one fraction is shifted in the aligning step, the sticky bit signal indicating the truncation of at least one set bit during the aligning step.

Title: Indicator ink compositions
Inventor: BEALING JOHN
IPC: C09D11/00
Filed: 1996-04-12
Granted: 2000-05-18
Abstract: The invention relates to indicator ink compositions that contain a water-based dispersion of a phenol-formaldehyde resin, at least one colorant and an amine-terminated catalyst. These indicator ink compositions are fixed to a surface, such as by drying, and respond to specific conditions of time, temperature, humidity, pressure and the presence or absence of certain chemicals by changing color. Compositions provide a means for detecting exposure to a predetermined condition and can be fixed or otherwise attached to nearly any article or designed into patterns on materials. Exposure of the indicator ink to the specific condition, the indicator ink provides a permanent detectable record of the event. Further, by varying the amount of amine-terminated catalyst in the formulation, the specific conditions at which the indicator composition will change color can be altered. Such compositions are specifically useful for determining the effectiveness of a sterilization process.

Title: Orthopaedic cutting instrument and prosthetic device
Inventor: STEELE JOHN KEVIN
IPC: A61F2/36
Filed: 1993-10-26
Granted: 1997-03-20
Abstract: A surgical instrument for shaping the distal femur of a patient to receive a unicondylar prosthetic component includes a cutting guide body that carries a pair of cylindrically shaped openings in the guide body, each of the openings having a central longitudinal axis and the respective axes of the openings forming an acute angle. An annular bushing is removably received in a selected one of the cylindrical openings during a cutting of the distal femur. A bone cutting reamer registers with a central cylindrical opening in the bushing. The bone cutting reamer has an annular shoulder that abuts the top of the bushing to define the depth of cut. During use, the surgeon positions the cutting guide body over a diseased condyle of the patient's distal femur. The surgeon then sequentially places the bushing and its associated bone cutting reamer into one of the selected openings of the cutting guide body. After placing the bone cutting reamer in the second opening of the guide body, the surgeon has formed two overlapping circular cuts which form an elongated oval shaped and three-dimensionally convex surface for receiving the unicondylar prosthesis.

Title: Stability of azadirachtin-containing solid
Inventor: WALTER JAMES F
IPC: A01N25/02
Filed: 1996-06-05
Granted: 1999-05-27
Abstract: The stability of an azadirachtin-containing solid preparation is increased if the preparation contains about 5% or less volatile polar solvents and 1% or less water. Reduction of the percentage of volatile polar solvents present in preparations of azadirachtin-containing solids to such levels improves the storage-stability of the solids without significantly degrading the azadirachtin in the solid. Solvents are preferably removed by drying the preparation at a suitable temperature for a time sufficient to reduce the level of water and volatile polar solvents to acceptable levels.

Title: Container with integral module for heating or cooling the contents
Inventor: SCUDDER JAMES A
IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 1996-10-16
Granted: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A container for holding a material, such as food, beverage or medicine, includes a cap and a container body. The container body has a material cavity (214) unitarily formed with a reactant cavity (216). The reactant cavity contains a solid reactant (246), and the cap (212) contains a liquid reactant (236) that, when mixed, produce an endothermic or exothermic reaction, depending upon the reactants selected. The cap has a tubular body section with an actuator disc (228) closing one end and a breakable barrier (234) closing the other end. With the exception of the barrier, the cap is of unitary construction. The cap has one or more prongs (230) extending from the inner surface of the disc toward the barrier. When a user depresses the actuator disc, it flexes inwardly and moves the prongs toward the barrier. The reactants mix when the prongs puncture the barrier. Heat transferred between the two cavities heats or cools the material The wall (224) of the container that defined the reactant cavity may be pleated (216) or corrugated to promote heat transfer.

Title: A method for manufacturing an orifice plate for use of a liquid discharge, an orifice plate, a liquid discharge provided with such orifice plate, and a method for manufacturing such liquid discharge
Inventor: KOYAMA SHUJI
IPC: B41J2/05
Filed: 1998-07-02
Granted: 2002-07-04
Abstract: A method for manufacturing an orifice plate used for a liquid discharge provided with discharge port for discharging liquid comprises the steps of preparing a non-conductive plate having recessed portion formed on the circumference of the flat portion corresponding to the discharge port, forming a first conductive material peelable from the non-conductive plate only in the recessed portion of the non-conductive plate, forming a plate member by plating the first conductive material with a second conductive material by electroforming method after the formation of the first conductive material, and obtaining the orifice plate having the discharge port by peeling off the plate member from the non-conductive plate. With the method thus arranged, it is possible to materialize the same precision as in the glass mask used for photolithography, and make the variation of orifice areas smaller for the formation of highly densified orifices. <IMAGE>
