Abstract: A numeric data coprocessor having an execution unit adapted to efficiently execute the ADD/SUB operations on floating-point numbers in compliance with the IEEE standard 754. 
     According to the basic principles of the present invention, the mantissa adder carry out bit resulting from the operation on two operands X and Y is directly concatenated with the mantissa adder results in the mantissa output register to be the MSB thereof. Simultaneously, a one is added to the exponent of operand X or Y of the greatest magnitude. Consequently, the final result, is found after normalization regardless the carry out bit is equal to 1 or 0. 
     From an hardware aspect, taking for example the 80-bit double extended precision IEEE format, the mantissa ouput register (33) has 68 positions. The 68th supplementary position is fed by the carry out bit generated by the mantissa adder (17) at the "carry out" output (CO). In addition, the "Force Carry" input (FC) of the exponent adder (16) is activated by the control logic circuitry to add a one to the operand exponent of the greatest magnitude. 
     As a result, with respect to the conventional method and apparatus, the step of mantissa and exponent correction, which requires a great number of machine cycles is bypassed, and some hardware is eliminated.

Abstract: Peptoids are provided which are polymers comprised of monomer units wherein the monomer units include at least some substitute amino acids and may include conventional amino acids. The peptoids can be synthesized in large numbers so as to provide libraries of peptoids which can be screened in order to isolate peptoids of desired biological activity. Certain peptoids are designed to mimic as closely as possible the activity of known proteins. Other peptoids are designed so as to have greater or lesser activity than known proteins and may be designed so as to block known receptor sites and/or elicit a desired immunogenic response and thereby act as vaccines. A range of different amino acid substitutes are disclosed, as are their methods of synthesis and methods of using such amino acid substitutes in the synthesis of peptoids and peptoid libraries. Methods of screening the libraries in order to obtain desired peptoids of a particular biological activity are also disclosed. The peptoids are preferably linked to a pharmaceutically active drug forming a conjugate with increased binding affinity to a particular biological receptor site.

Abstract: A semiautomatic firearm including a recoil spring acting on the bolt for closing the breech after the ejection of the case. The repositioning device includes an auxiliary resilient member which cooperates with the recoil spring, so that although a low-rigidity spring suitable for weak cartridges is used, the weapon works correctly even when firing powerful cartridges.

Abstract: An indwelling ureteral stent positioning apparatus (10) is provided for allowing single intrusion placement of a stent (20) in the ureter of a patient. The apparatus is pre-assembled and includes a wire guide (12) with floppy tip (14). The stent (20) is positioned about the wire guide (12) adjacent to the floppy tip (14) of the wire guide (12), and is adjustably situated on the wire guide (12) to expose a pre-determined length of the floppy tip (14) for insertion into the patient. The stent (20) is a dual open-ended tubular stent having a resilient retentive curved circular or pigtail shape at each end for retention in the kidney and bladder. A positioner (25) is conveyed on the wire stent until the end of the positioner abuts the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20). A pin-vise clamp (30) abuts the external end of the positioner (25) and releasably engages the wire guide (12) to stabilize the apparatus (10) during insertion. When used to position the stent (20) within the ureter, the apparatus (10) is conveyed along the ureter until the floppy tip (14) is within the renal collecting system. The positioner (25) is advanced along the wire guide (12) to push the anatomically proximal end (23) of the stent (20) over and beyond the floppy tip (14) so that the retentive coil forms within the kidney. The pin-vise clamp (30) is released to allow the wire guide (12) to be withdrawn until it passes the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20), wherein the retentive coil shape is formed within the bladder. With the stent fully indwelling, the positioner (25) and wire guide (12) are removed from the patient.

Abstract: Upstream of the filters (2, 3, 4) is arranged an air vessel chamber (antifluctuator) (8). The transport device contains a double-acting piston pump (5). The air vessel chamber (8) avoids pulsing of the air or soldering fume stream at the connection port (6). Flexible lines (9) lead from the filters (2, 3, 4) to the pump (5); this is driven by an electric motor (11). The pump (5) and the electric motor (11) are connected to the housing (1) via vibration dampers (13, 14). The clean air exiting from the outlet (16) of the pump (5) leaves the housing (1) through the exit (7). The clean air exiting from the pump (5') cools owing to expansion and flows round the pump and the motor in a cooling manner. As a result of the axial arrangement of the filters (2,3,4), followed by the piston pump (5), an extremely compact structure of the apparatus is achieved. <IMAGE>
