Abstract: A surgical system having a cassette with an aspirant collection chamber and an
aspiration exhaust line that drains into the aspirant collection chamber. A fluid line
containing a valve allowing fluid from the irrigation fluid container to be vented into the
aspirant collection chamber. A source of pressurized air is connected to the irrigation
fluid container and is used to pressurize the fluid container. When the pressure within the
fluid container needs to be increased, pressurized air from the pressurized air source is
allowed to enter the fluid container. When the pressure within the fluid container needs to
be decreased, irrigation fluid is allowed to be bled out of the fluid container and enter the
collection chamber. In this manner, a direct fluidic connection with the gas contained
within the fluid container does not need to be maintained.

Abstract: In a reflection-type liquid crystal display panel
(10) provided with reflective electrodes (13a), a
reflective metal film (13a) is formed on an insulating
layer (12) having a surface provided with minute
irregularities (17) to form the reflective metal electrodes
having surfaces of a shape substantially complementary to
the minute irregularities. Since the surfaces of the
electrodes (13a) are provided with minute irregularities,
external light incident on the liquid crystal display panel
is not reflected in a specular reflection mode, so that
images are displayed on the liquid crystal display panel in
satisfactory visibility. The insulating layer is formed by
forming a positive photosensitive resin layer on a back
substrate (10a), exposing the positive photosensitive resin
layer to light through a transparent sheet (18) having a
surface provided with minute irregularities, and subjecting
the exposed positive photosensitive resin layer to a
developing process. The thus fabricated liquid crystal
display panel is capable of suppressing reflection of
external matters therein and of displaying images in
satisfactory visibility. The insulating layer (12)
underlying the electrodes (13a) is patterned in a pattern
similar to that of the electrodes (13a) to suppress current
leakage between the electrodes. A method of fabricating
the reflection-type liquid crystal display panel is also
disclosed.

Abstract: In a liquid infusion apparatus, an incremental linear encoder is arranged along the
feeding shaft direction of the liquid infusion apparatus to directly monitor the movement
and position of a carriage part which applies an action to a plunger. A detecting sensor is
provided at a starting point of a remaining liquid quantity small region to recognize the
absolute position at said region by using feed-back pulses from said encoder. A pressing
device for pressing a flange of the plunger to a plunger receiving portion of a slider by
holding arms is provided. A pressure sensor Is arranged between said plunger receiving
portion and the slider to detect a negative pressure applied to the plunger in such a manner
that the other operation states of pressure are detected based on a detected value of
pressure at which the flange is pressed to the plunger receiving portion. The holding arms
which are able to open are moved in the moving direction of the slider to press for holding
the flange of the plunger to the plunger holding portion of the slider. The holding arm
for press holding the flange of the plunger with the slider is supported rotatably freely by
ashaft and urged to rotate by aspring in the clockwise direction. 
     A projection which is engaged with asmall projection provided an end of the holding
arms is provided on a lever, so that the holding arm can be rotated in the counterclockwise
direction by said projection. A half-nut releasing device interlocking with a retracting
lever provided on the slider for disengaging the half-nut from a feed screw Is
composed of means to urge the half-nut by a release cam having a step portion and of
means to press the flange of the plunger against the slider by the holding arm for holding
the flange of the plunger. A one-way clutch for transmitting a driving force in the syringe
pushing direction is arranged between the output shaft of a prime mover and the feed
screw.

Abstract: A system for dynamically integrating changes in the rules governing business
operations into an application program that implements the rules in order to control
business operations includes a dynamic business logic rule integrator ("DBLRI") that
essentially provides business logic rules to the application software as executable
routines. The DBLRI presents to a user one or more graphical user interfaces ("GUIs")
through which the user writes functional-language expressions for the business logic
rules. The respective GUIs correspond to various types of business logic rules, and
provide to the user menus of associated functions, operators and parameters that are
available for use. The set of parameters associated with a given GUI is dynamically
updated, to correspond to changes in the underlying business logic rules. The user
writes and/or edits the expressions for the respective business logic rules by selectively
combining the available functions, operators and parameters. The DBLRI translates the
functional expressions into executable routines by evaluating the corresponding
expressions and producing associated executable parse trees or DLLs. The application
software then calls the executable routines at appropriate times. The DBLRI operates
also with a dynamically configurable database that provides various parameters
required for the business logic rules as the rules are updated, added and/or revised.

Abstract: A microfluidic structure (200, 300, 400, 500, or 600) having an electrostatic sealing
device is disclosed. The electrostatic sealing device includes a first electrode (102) and a
second electrode (104) opposite the first electrode. At least one of the electrodes has an
elastic layer (106) facing the other electrode. The second electrode is capable of moving
toward the first electrode and forming a seal with the first electrode in response to a voltage
difference between the two electrodes. The electrostatic sealing device eliminates the need
for mechanical components that are traditionally used for generating a mechanical force
between two components of a microfluidic structure and thus reduces complexity of the
microfluidic structure and possible interference with optical interrogation of the microfluidic
structure. Moreover, the seal can be established or removed simply by turning the voltage on
or off. The electrostatic sealing device can also be used as a valve, a pump, or a combination
thereof, to control fluid flow in the microchannels of a microfluidic structure.
