Patent EP-0897073-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COTTER JONATHAN P
IPC: F16F9/43
Filed: 1998-08-10
Abstract: A gas spring with a filler block assembly defining the rear sealing wall of the gas
chamber of the gas spring. The filler block assembly has an end cap with an internally
threaded through passageway for filling the chamber with compressed gas. An
externally threaded screw plug is threaded into the cap passageway and has an enlarged
head portion with a conical sealing surface. An O-ring encircles the screw plug and is
wedge-captured sealably between its sealing surface and a radial sealing surface on the
cap front face. The screw plug and passageway threads are constructed and arranged
to provide a gas chamber filling leakage path therebetween such that the gas spring
chamber can be charged with pressurized nitrogen gas admitted into the rear end of the
cap filling passageway with the screw plug and O-ring already installed in the cap in
final operable position to function as a one-way check valve for admitting the
pressurized gas to the spring chamber and to prevent egress of the gas therefrom. In
one embodiment, the screw plug is imperforate. In another embodiment, the screw plug
has a bleed passageway extending axially therethrough communicating at one end with
the gas spring chamber and at the other end with the filling passageway. A bleed plug
is threadably received in the cap filling passageway, and a sealing gasket is captured
between the bleed plug and the screw plug for sealing the adjacent end outlet of the
screw plug bleed passageway. The gas filling leakage path then also includes the
clearance space between the threads of the bleed plug and the cap filling passageway.

Abstract: A method for improving the etching slope in etching
a Pt layer used as a storage node of a semiconductor
device is provided. By the method, an adhesive layer
(110) including Ti on the Pt layer (108) is changed to
TiOx, by using an etching gas containing oxygen, to act as
an additional etching mask. The Pt layer (108) is
overetched by using the fact that the Tiox layer is formed
to avoid overall erosion of the adhesive layer mask at a
predetermined temperature, i.e., 120 ∼ 300°C, to thereby
improve the etching slope of the Pt layer.

Abstract: A system for, and method of, generating an alias source
address for an electronic mail ("e-mail") message having a
real source address and a destination address and a computer
network, such as the Internet, including the system or the
method. In one embodiment, the system includes an alias
source address generator that employs the destination
address to generate the alias source address. The system
further includes an alias source address substitutor that
substitutes the alias source address for the real source
address. This removes the real source address from the e-mail
message and thereby renders the sender, located at the
real source address, anonymous. Further-described are
systems and methods for forwarding reply e-mail and
filtering reply e-mail based on alias source address.

Abstract: A method of detecting the loss-of-signal (LOS) condition at the input of a
transmission line interface when the input signal is coded. The input signal
decoding includes an additional procedure allowing the detection of loss-of-signal

transitions includes sequences of code violations, the additional procedure,
over a certain threshold error rate, corresponding to a number of code
violations in a unit of time, detects the loss-of-signal (LOS) condition.

Abstract: A direct conversion quadrature receiver is known for use in cellular radio systems. Such a receiver is designed for a single system and is not suitable for other systems having a different frequency band and signals having a different bandwidth. Also multi-band cellular receivers are known, with a number of front-receivers suitable for each band. Such a receiver is not very efficient and is expensive and bulky. A wireless multi-band communication is proposed which is low cost and which automatically adapts itself to signals received from a particular system. On the basis of the bandwidth of the received desired signal, a sampling bandwidth and/or sampling time is selected of mixed down signals. Furthermore, the sampling means are band limited as regards noise. An adaptive filter coupled to the sampling means is adjusted in accordance with the determined adjacent channel to desired channel interference level.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing time-walking
in a digital switching network when switching from a
first clock to a second clock. The first and second
clock can be identical in frequency and independent in
phase, where the highest resolution frequency
available is that of said first and second clock. The
system can include a clock divider selection circuit,
an enhanced digital phase aligner, and a clock select
control circuit. The clock divider selection circuit
can output an on-line divided clock and an off-line
clock to the enhanced digital phase aligner. The
enhanced digital phase aligner can sample the on-line
divided clock with four phases of the off-line clock
and output an off-line divided clock which is time
shifted such that the off-line divided clock is in
phase with the on-line divided clock within plus or
minus one-half the clock period of the off-line clock.
The clock select control circuit can receive the on-line
divided clock from the clock divider selection
circuit, the off-line divided clock from the enhanced
digital phase aligner and a smoothed clock. When a
request is made to switch between clock one and clock
two, the clock select control circuit can evaluate the
on-line divided clock and the off-line divided clock
with the smoothed clock and output a clock select
control signal to the clock divider selection circuit
based on this comparison.

Abstract: The method involves determining at least one characteristic value (rssi1,rssi2) with respect to the transmission conditions of the radio interface. The difference (diffrssi) between the determined characteristic values is compared with a threshold (trssimax). The function of the reception path is determined from the comparison. Preferably, each determined characteristic value is compared with a further threshold. If the further threshold is exceeded, the characteristic values for the calculation of the difference are taken into account.

location of one femur to estimate a starting location for
scanning the opposite femur. The estimated starting
location of the second femur scan is based on metric data

based on the metric data extracted from the initial scan.
A special leg positioning device is used to properly
orient both femora for scanning, obviating the need to

Abstract: A modular elbow prosthesis includes a humeral and
ulnar components and three bearing components. The ulnar
component includes a stem and a body including a slot. Two
of the three bearing components include flanges that mate with
the slot of the ulnar component. The humeral component
includes a stem and two arms extending from one end of the
stem. An opening is formed in each arm and in two of the
three bearing components. The modular elbow may be used in
an unconstrained mode by attaching one bearing component to
the ulnar component and the other to the humeral component by
inserting a pin through the openings in the arms and the
bearing component. The two bearing components are then placed
adjacent each other such that they articulate about their
bearing surfaces. Alternatively, the prosthesis can be
utilized in a constrained mode by positioning the flange of
the third bearing component in the slot on the ulnar component
and positioning the third bearing component between the arms
of the humeral component and inserting a pin through the
openings in the arms of the third component. In another
alternative embodiment, one bearing component may surround a
portion of the other bearing component. The components may
be joined by a pin to form a constrained elbow prosthesis.
In one embodiment, two of the bearing surfaces are configured
to permit axial rotation without becoming disengaged. In
other embodiments, the various components may be held together
by a taper lock.
