Title: Surgical stapling instrument and method thereof
Inventor: HECK CHRISTOPHER FRANCIS
IPC: A61B17/115
Filed: 1995-05-12
Abstract: A surgical stapling instrument for stapling a tubular tissue structure having at least one distal end to a luminal structure, such as a vascular lumen or another tubular tissue structure. The instrument comprises a rod having a circumference sufficient to pass within the tubular tissue structure, an anvil mounted on the rod, and a generally tubular staple cartridge for containing a plurality of staples. The anvil has an array of staple deforming theron and is of a size sufficient to pass through a sugically formed opening in and to be accommodated within the luminal structure. The inner passage of the staple cartridge is sufficient to axially accommodate the tubular tissue structure between the rod and the inner surface of the staple cartridge, and sufficient to allow the staple cartridge to be moved axially along the rod. The staple delivery end of the staple cartridge is positioned toward the staple deforming of the anvil and has an outer dimension small enough so that the tubular tissue structure can be everted thereover. A clamping mechanism secures the everted portion of the tubular tissue structure and the luminal structure adjacent to the sugically formed opening between the staple cartridge and the anvil. A plurality of staples may then be ejected to pass through the everted portion of the tubular tissue structure and the luminal structure to engage the staple deforming to deform the staples and create a bond between the tubular tissue structure and the luminal structure. The staple cartridge and/or anvil may be configured to provide a non-circular anastomotic connection having more natural, less turbulent blood flow therethrough.

Title: Method for decaffeinating coffee with a supercritical fluid
Inventor: KATZ SAUL NORMAN
IPC: A23F5/20
Filed: 1989-01-25
Abstract: A method of extracting caffeine from green coffee beans whereby an essentially caffeine-free supercritical fluid is continuously fed to one end of an extraction vessel containing green coffee beans and caffeine-laden supercritical fluid is continuously withdrawn from the opposite end. A portion of decaffeinated beans is periodically discharged while a fresh portion of undecaffeinated beans is essentially simultaneously charged to the extraction vessel.

Filed: 1995-05-10
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the collection, analysis, measurement and storage of geographical data, the aim being to guarantee user-relevant data handling and simplified availability in large, medium and small user centres and to ensures the optimization of existing components in digital stereo work stations with facilities for interactive overlay, truing and execution of digitally recorded landscape, planning and property data or land-register maps as well as the addition of alphanumeric data. This aim is achieved as shown in the figure by virtue of the fact that a topographic surface (zone 1) is recorded using aerial photography by an aircraft (2) whose position is determined by means of DGPS signals from satellites (3). A digital height model (4) is subsequently derived by data processing or calculated after the fourth operational step. From the topographic surface (zone 1) and the digital height model, including the known positions of the projection centres at the time the photograph was taken by the aircraft (2), and by mathematical transformation of the analogue aerial photo or of a digital aerial-photo scene, the digital orthophoto (5) is generated and made available to a potential user on a data-storage medium, thus enabling the potential user to add, to the digital orthophoto (5), vector/line graphics (6) and to make use of it depending on the task specification and necessary decision-making capacity which he, as mandator, has formulated.
