Abstract: The invention provides devices and methods for performing less-invasive surgical procedures within an organ or vessel. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention provides a method of closed-chest surgical intervention within an internal cavity of a patient's heart or great vessel. According to the method, the patient's heart is arrested and cardiopulmonary bypass is established. A scope extending through a percutaneous intercostal penetration in the patient's chest is used to view an internal portion of the patient's chest. An internal penetration is formed in a wall of the heart or great vessel using cutting means introduced through a percutaneous penetration in an intercostal space in the patient's chest. An interventional tool is then introduced, usually through a cannula positioned in a percutaneous intercostal penetration. The interventional tool is inserted through the internal penetration in the heart or great vessel to perform a surgical procedure within the internal cavity under visualization by means of the scope. In a preferred embodiment, a cutting tool is introduced into the patient's left atrium from a right portion of the patient's chest to remove the patient's mitral valve. A replacement valve is then introduced through an intercostal space in the right portion of the chest and through the internal penetration in the heart, and the replacement valve is attached in the mitral valve position.

Abstract: In a telephone network, e.g. a cellular radio system, after a transaction (e.g. a call) has ended, the connection is not fully released. If another connection is to be setup on ending of a current call, e.g. a voice message or call completion to be a subscriber arrangement, a flag (F) is set in the connection management system (CM). The status of the flag (F) is used to determine if the signal in connection towards a termination (B) should be kept or released immediately. Depending on the status of flag (F) different actions are taken in the network. The connection may be maintained for a predetermined interval. Data (F, F1, F2), concerning the status of the flags are transmitted from switching centre (MSC1) to another switching centre (MSC2) if control of the network termination is transferred. If control of the network termination (B) passes to a switching centre not capable of supporting the service to which the flag (F1) relates, the flag status is stored in a buffer register (HLR) associated with the user until such time as it is again connected to a switching centre capable of supporting the service.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite laminate having a plurality of UD layers, i.e., layers of matrix material reinforced with unidirectionally oriented fibres, and at least one inner metal layer, i.e., a metal layer that does not form an outer surface of the laminate, the layers being arranged so as to give a balanced and symmetric laminate. The method comprises passing through a laminating zone, preferably a double-belt press, unidirectionally oriented (UD) fibres provided with not yet consolidated matrix material and consolidating the matrix material. In a first step a non-flowing sandwich laminate of at least three layers is formed, the at least three layers being UD and metal layers, the sandwich laminate being formed by passing UD fibres provided with not yet consolidated matrix material through the laminating zone together with metal foil, and in a second step the non-flowing sandwich laminate is provided on its outer surfaces with UD layers, with additional UD layers optionally being added in subsequent steps.

Abstract: A drive plate (E) for an automotive vehicle for transmitting a torque from a crankshaft (6) to a torque converter (7), while absorbing a thrust load applied from the torque converter to the crankshaft is formed with: a central mount portion (11) for mounting a crankshaft; an outer gear (20) formed in an outermost circumference of the drive plate; a plurality of weight reducing holes (30) formed between the central mount portion and the outer gear at regular angular intervals; and a plurality of the outer mount portions (12) for mounting a torque converter (7) formed near an outer circumference of the drive plate at regular angular intervals. In particular, the outer mount portions (12) are formed in such a way as to project radially inward from the outer gear (20) into the weight reducing holes (30), respectively. Since the virtual bending radius (deformation length L) of the drive plate can be increased, the bending angle (DA1) can be reduced when a thrust load is applied from the torque converter to the drive plate, so that it is possible to reduce a bending stress concentrated at the central mount portion (11) as small as possible, for prevention of the drive plate from being damaged. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A signal encoding system A1 includes a bark spectrum calculating device 2 for calculating a bark spectrum as a parameter based on an auditory model, a bark spectrum encoding device 3 for encoding the bark spectrum, a sound source calculating device 4 and a sound source encoding device 5. The bark spectrum calculating device 2 includes a power spectrum calculating device 6, a critical band integrating device 7, an equal loudness compensating device 8 and a loudness converting device 9. These devices are formed by engineering the functions and effects which are similar to those of the auditory model. The decoding process perform the conversion in the opposite direction. As a result, the signals can be encoded and decoded through less calculation in a manner well matching the human auditory characteristics. When speech signals are to be encoded, it can be realized through less calculation and memory while suppressing noise components other than the speech signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The dripped coffee maker has a conical filter (20) that is filled with ground coffee. The level of ground coffee in place in the filter cone is indicated on an external graduated scale (49) by a moving pointer (35). The moving pointer is operated by a mechanical coupling (47) from a four-bar parallelogram linkage (33). The four-bar linkage is displaced by the weight of the cone as it is filled with ground coffee, causing the pointer link, which is an extension of one side of the four-bar linkage, to be displaced angularly and to thus move the pointer along the external scale.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are used for converting a stream of incoming serial video data which is received frame by frame and is formatted with all data bits arriving together for each pixel into digital PWM video formatted as a sequence of like-weighted bits. Incoming video data is temporarily stored in a digital memory. A controller organized the data in the memory into a plurality of buffers, each buffer having only bits of like weight. The data is collected as groups within the buffers. The data is then coupled to a display device as the groups of like-weighted bits after a predetermined fraction of a frame time for producing the desired PWM signal. Since each bit of the incoming video data is stored for a fraction of a frame time, the present invention facilitates decimation of the total amount of buffer memory, compared to that of the prior art. A method of and apparatus are used for converting a stream of incoming serial PWM video data which is received frame by frame and is organized with all data for a single pixel transmitted concurrently into digital PWM video organized into groups of like-weighted bits. Once the stream of incoming serial PWM video data is received it is stored in a digital memory. A controller organized the data in the memory into a plurality of bit planes, each bit plane having only bits of like weight. The data is collected as groups within the bit planes. The data is coupled to a display device as groups of like-weighted bits. As groups of the shortest duration bit weight are formed, they are coupled to the display. This allows less than an entire frame of data to be stored.

Abstract: A control system for a single-valve controlled medical ventilator adaptively invokes separate flow delivery or flow exhaust control functions in response to the sensed dynamic state of the ventilator without any dependence on measured patient parameters. The control system selects either the flow delivery control system or flow exhaust control system based on a determination of the mode in which the ventilator is operating. The determination is made using a sensed ventilator operational parameter, such as the ratio of manifold pressure to flow output, to select the appropriate control function. A hysteresis routine is provided to prevent "hair triggering" between the flow delivery and flow exhaust control systems. <IMAGE>
