Abstract: In electromagnetic flowmeter for converting the flow rate of a fluid to be measured to an electric signal and outputting a flow rate signal corresponding to the flow rate through detecting electrodes, exciting means intermittently causes an exciting current to flow to apply a magnetic field to the fluid to be measured, with excitation period thereof being shorter than the non-excitation period. On the other hand, a.c. coupling means obtains an a.c. signal through an a.c. coupling of the inter-electrode signals outputted from the detecting electrodes. Sample and hold means samples and holds the a.c. signal with a sampling signal having a sampling width including the portions before and after the excitation period, and outputs it as a hold signal. Switching means is changed to a reference potential before and after the period of sample and hold, and signal processing means uses this hold signal to perform a signal processing and outputs it as a flow rate signal.

Abstract: This invention is a surgical device. In particular, it is a catheter suitable for accessing a tissue target within the body, typically a target which is accessible through the vascular system. Central to the invention is the use of a stiffener ribbon, typically metallic, wound within the catheter body in such a way as to create a catheter having controllable stiffness. The stiffener ribbon is adhesively bonded to a flexible outer tubing member so to produce a thin wall catheter section which is exceptionally flexible but highly kink resistant. 
     The catheter sections made according to this invention may be used in conjunction with other catheter sections either using the concepts shown herein or made in other ways. Because of the effective strength and ability to retain a generally kink-free form, these catheters may be effectively used in sizes which are quite fine, e.g., 0.015'' to 0.020'' in diameter, and usable within typical vascular catheters.

Abstract: A communication terminal device, interconnecting with a network system like the ISDN system, is configured by a CPU and a memory which stores calling identification numbers and called identification numbers with respect to communication companions who are registered in advance. Herein, one calling identification number and at least one called identification number are registered with respect to each communication companion. At a communication-sending event, a user designates a desired communication companion so that its calling identification number is automatically read out from the memory; and consequently, the communication terminal device automatically calls up the desired communication companion through the network system. At a communication-receiving event, the communication terminal device is informed of a calling party number corresponding to a calling party who accesses thereto through the network system. Then, the communication terminal device searches a called identification number, which coincides with the calling party number, within the called identification numbers registered in the memory. Thus, the calling party is identified based on the called identification number searched, so that the communication terminal device automatically performs a specific communication control which is set for the calling party identified.

Abstract: A feed roller is disposed opposite the bottom part of a placement tray on which a stack of sheet is placed, and a resilient pressing member made of sponge etc. is provided so that it will press the separator into surface contact with the peripheral surface of the feed roller. The separator is divided into two sections for individual functions, i.e., a separating portion which lies in a front surface contact area with the feed roller and performs a separating function of sheets, and a delivering portion which lies in a surface contact area immediately after the front surface contact area and performs a delivering function of the sheet. In order to achieve these functions, the coefficient of friction in the separating portion is set greater than that in the delivering portion and it is set lower than that of the feed roller. In this way, the separation of sheets is performed reliably through the first surface contact area and the delivering of the sheet is efficiently performed through the second surface contact area. Further, the resilient pressing member will serve to inhibit the vibrations and rattling sounds of the sheet.
