Abstract: A defect correction apparatus for a solid state imaging device employs a frame buffer responsively coupled to the imaging device for storing digital values of shuttered dark pixel data from image locations of the imaging device. A register responsively coupled to the imaging device and having an output coupled to the frame buffer sequentially clocks digital values of image pixel data of the imaging device into the frame buffer. A comparator having an output operatively coupled to the register and being responsively coupled to the dark pixel data of the frame buffer produces enable and inhibit outputs. When any selected element of dark pixel data is less than a threshold, indicative of an operative pixel element in the imaging device, data stored in the register corresponding to the pixel is stored in the frame buffer in response to the enable signal. When the value of the dark pixel data in the frame buffer is greater than the threshold the comparator produces an inhibit signal. The value of image data of a previous operative pixel element is thereby entered into the register and frame buffer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An antiviral surgical or examination glove is obtained by blocking adsorption sites for the antiinfective agent which may exist in the lubricating agent, e.g., crosslinked corn starch, or in the material of the glove itself. The glove of the invention comprises an elastomeric hand-shaped body having interior and exterior surfaces and an inner coating disposed on the interior surface of the elastomeric body. The inner coating comprises (a) an antiinfective agent selected from the group consisting of chlorhexidine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of chlorhexidine and (b) a lubricating agent which does not significantly adsorb the antiinfective agent. The inner coating is effective to deliver an antivirally effective amount of the antiinfective agent within ten minutes of exposure to a liquid.

Abstract: An ultrasonic transesophageal scanhead is provided which enables a physician to easily and quickly change the orientation of the image plane during a scanning procedure without disrupting control of the scanhead. Means (36) are provided on the external control unit (16) of the scanhead for unambiguously selecting the orientation of the plane which is imaged by the transducers (E1L..E48T) at the end of the probe (12) of the scanhead. In one embodiment, a rocker switch (36) is provided on the underside of the control unit, and a lighted indicator (40) is provided on top of the control unit. When the physician desires to change the image plane, the rocker switch is rolled forward to select the transducer elements (E1L..E48L; E1T..E48T) of the probe which are configured for scanning in the desired image plane. As the rocker switch is moved, the lighted indicator (40) on the top of the control unit provides a visual display pattern aligned either longitudinally (40b, 40c) or transversely (40a, 40b) with respect to the axis of the probe. Thus, the physician can change scanning planes without moving his hand from the control unit, and the unit constantly provides an indication of the orientation of the selected plane. <IMAGE>

Date Jan. 7, 1993.A system for measuring the "time of flight" or transfer time of a sound wave in a gas by using the relation between the gas temperature and the velocity of the sound wave in the gas, and calculating therefrom the temperature of the gas. The system comprises an emitter, which generates a sound which is coherent in phase, at one frequency or a group of frequencies; a self-correlating decoder and a receiver, which is associated with the emitter, and which sends the sound to a filter system and to an assembly controlled by a microprocessor, which processes the signal coming out of the filter system in a shape similar to a Hamming wave shape in order to determine the absolute maximum value and therefrom determine the transfer time. With this knowledge, it is easy to relate the transfer time to the distance traveled between the emitter and receiver and the known properties of the gas, in order to arrive at the temperature of the gas through which the sound has been sent.

The triol acid and its lactone form are both inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase and thus useful as anti-hypercholesterolemic agents, and may also serve as intermediates for preparation of other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Also, in the synthesis of simvastatin by direct methylation of lovastatin, selective hydrolysis of residual lovastatin salt by treatment with Clonostachys compactiuscula ATCC 38009 or ATCC 74178 or mutants thereof or a cell-free extract derived therefrom, or a hydrolase derived therefrom yields the "triol" salt which can be easily separated from simvastatin.

Working pressures are measured and displayed on an operator's console and may be kept fairly constant despite uneven floors by a feedback control circuit. An operator may input a desired pressure and feedback can be used to tailor the working pressure to the chosen pressure input. An electronic control circuit included a microprocessor is described. With a controllable brush pressure the cleaning or sweeping machine is more adaptable, can be used for both heavy duty cleaning or scrubbing tasks and light sweeping tasks without the need to for resetting the machine in the factory and without wearing out the expensive brushes or damaging the floor surface.
