Abstract: A method for disposing of infectious medical waste (54) in
a closed system (10) includes the steps of shredding (60) the
waste in the closed system to reduce the waste to small particles
and indirectly heating the waste particles in the closed system
by contacting the waste particles with a heated surface. The
waste particles are indirectly heated to a sufficiently high
temperature and for a sufficient period of time to produce a
quantitative assurance of sterilization of the waste particles.
Air is continuously drawn through the closed system to control
the pressure and moisture in the closed system.

Abstract: The display device (100) operates in response to an information signal and
comprises analog drive circuits (e.g., 114) in a two-dimensional array (102) of rows
and columns, an analog sampling circuit (122) that derives the analog samples (e.g.,
125) from the information signal, and a sample distribution circuit (124). The
sample distribution circuit receives the analog samples from the analog sampling
circuit and distributes them to the analog drive circuits. The sample distribution
circuit includes input gates (e.g., 152) corresponding to the analog drive circuits,
column busses (e.g., 131 2 ) corresponding to the columns of the array, and a row
selector (134) having outputs corresponding to the rows of the array. The column
busses distribute the analog samples column-wise to the analog drive circuits. The
input gates selectively connect the analog drive circuits to the column busses. Each
output of the row selector is connected to control the input gates in one of the
rows. The row selector sequentially opens the input gates in the rows to perform a
row-wise selection of the analog samples on the column busses. 
     A grey scale is generated by modulating light using an electro-optical
material (31). An analog sample (e.g, 125) is derived from the information signal, a
drive signal is generated in response to the analog sample, and the drive signal is
applied to the electro-optical material. The drive signal generated in response to the
analog sample includes a sequence (e.g., ILLUM) of a first temporal portion (1 TP)
having a time duration that has a pre-determined relationship to the analog sample,
and a second temporal portion (2 TP) that is the temporal complement of the first
temporal portion.

Abstract: A locking system for preventing a take-up reel of a tape drive from rotating when
a tape cartridge is not inserted to the drive. Locking elements are defined about the take-up
reel , a buckling mechanism, and a load ring to interact and provide locking
engagement to prevent take-up reel rotation. The take-up reel , buckling mechanism and
load ring rotate in concert during insertion and removal of the cartridge and are

drive, locking elements disengage to enable rotation of the take-up reel . As the cartridge
is inserted into the drive, locking elements return to locking engagement .

accumulated spring force to remove the lock member from the
engagement groove at the same time when a load is applied on the
supported member.

antenna coupled bolometer. In order to focus the incoming
radiation on bolometers, the bolometer substrate is fitted or
the surface or interior of the bolometer substrate is provided
with a bolometer lens or a corresponding optical element in
alignment with each bolometer.

Chaque montant, placé au niveau de la surface interne périphérique de la perforation ou à proximité de celle-ci, dispose par ailleurs d'un élément de fixation faisant saillie. Lorsque la valve est insérée dans la perforation via une pression appliquée à la plaque-couvercle, les éléments de fixation se courbent légèrement vers l'intérieur jusqu'à atteindre un plan de circonférence moindre que celui de la perforation. Après l'insertion, les montants flexibles reprennent leur configuration initiale en protubérance. L'extrémité de chaque élément se trouve ensuite en contact avec le bas de la surface du plateau, de manière à définir et à limiter le mouvement de la valve vers le haut.

Abstract: A film wrap used to preserve perishable products such

Abstract: A cache coherency protocol uses a "Tagged" coherency state to track
responsibility for writing a modified value back to system memory, allowing
intervention of the value without immediately writing it back to system memory,
thus increasing memory bandwidth. The Tagged state can migrate across the caches
(horizontally) when assigned to a cache line that has most recently loaded the
modified value. Historical states relating to the Tagged state may further be used.
The invention may also be applied to a multi-processor computer system having
clustered processing units, such that the Tagged state can be applied to one of the
cache lines in each group of caches that support separate processing unit clusters.
Priorities are assigned to different cache states, including the Tagged state, for
responding to a request to access a corresponding memory block. Any tagged
intervention response can be forwarded only to selected caches that could be
affected by the intervention response, using cross-bars. The Tagged protocol can be
combined with existing and new cache coherency protocols. The invention further
contemplates independent optimization of cache operations using the Tagged state.
