Patent EP-1861034-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LAU LIMING
IPC: A61B18/08
Filed: 2006-03-24
Abstract: A surgical apparatus and methods for severing and welding tissue, in particular blood vessels. The apparatus includes an elongated shaft having a pair of relatively movable jaws at a distal end thereof. A first heating element on one of the jaws is adapted to heat up to a first temperature and form a welded region within the tissue, while a second heating element on one of the jaws is adapted to heat up to a second temperature and sever the tissue within the welded region. The first and second heating elements may be provided on the same or opposite jaws. A control handle provided on the proximal end of the elongated shaft includes controls for opening and closing the jaws, and may include an actuator for sending current through the first and second heating elements. The first and second heating elements may be electrically connected in series, and the first heating element may be bifurcated such that it conducts about one half of the current as the second heating element. A force-limiting mechanism provided either within the control handle, in the elongated shaft, or at the jaws limits the pressure applied to the tissue by the jaws to ensure that the tissue is severed and the ends effectively welded within a short amount of time.

IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2006-05-31
Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic appliance (1), provided with a cooling assembly (10) for cooling a module (4) that during use can be inserted in the appliance (1) by a consumer. The cooling assembly (10) comprises a cooling body (12) and sliding means (8A, 8B). The sliding means are arranged to engage the module with a low frictional contact surface, so as to facilitate insertion of the module. The sliding means are furthermore arranged to form a thermally conductive bridge between the module and the cooling body. At least one of the cooling body and the sliding means is resiliently deflectable, thereby allowing the sliding means to be pushed out of the way by the module, when this module is being inserted or removed.

Title: Procede de conditionnement des detecteurs pour ameliorer la stabilite de sortie du signal pour les mesures de melanges de gaz
Inventor: FARBER BORIS
IPC: G01N27/406
Filed: 2006-06-05
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de conditionnement des détecteurs pour améliorer la stabilité de sortie du signal et la différentiation entre les réponses aux différents gaz tels que d'échappement provenant des processus de combustion. Entre les électrodes du détecteur, on applique des impulsions en tension en onde carrée (ou en dent de scie) de polarités opposées mais d'amplitude équivalente. Les impulsions sont séparées par des pauses lorsque l'alimentation électrique de charge est déconnectée des détecteurs et on enregistre la décharge des détecteurs. On dispose de deux procédés pour obtenir des informations utiles concernant la concentration des gaz analysés. Le premier procédé (1) consiste à mesurer la perte de tension à circuit ouvert pendant la pause directement après l'impulsion. Le deuxième procédé (2) consiste à faire une charge de courant pendant les impulsions positives (négatives) et à laisser le courant décharger pendant les pauses suivant les impulsions.

Abstract: A word decoder (WDEC), word driver (WDRV), and voltage control circuit (VCNT) are formed corresponding to a memory block, respectively. The word decoder (WDEC) generates word control signals supplied to the gate of the word driver's transistor. The voltage control circuit (VCNT) sets word control signal high level voltage supplied to the word decoder (WDEC) to a first high voltage during an access period of corresponding memory block and to a second high voltage lower than the first one during non-access period of corresponding memory block. The high level voltage is switched to the first or second high voltage only in the word control circuit corresponding to the memory block whose access state changes. Consequently, wasteful charge/discharge current occurrence can be prevented in high level voltage lines corresponding to the memory block whose access state does not change and charge/discharge currents due to circuit operations to reduce GIDL currents, and current consumption can be reduced.

IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un processus de fabrication permettant de produire des marqueurs pour un système de surveillance électronique magnétomécanique d'articles. Le marqueur comprend: un élément magnétomécanique comprenant une ou plusieurs bandes résonantes composées d'alliage métallique amorphe magnétostrictif; un boîtier comprenant une cavité dont la taille et la forme lui permettent de contenir les bandes résonantes de façon qu'elles vibrent mécaniquement librement à l'intérieur de celle-ci; et un aimant de polarisation permettant de polariser magnétiquement l'élément magnétomécanique. Ce processus fait appel à une commande adaptative de la longueur coupée des bandes résonantes, la correction de la longueur étant basée sur l'écart de la fréquence de résonance du marqueur réelle par rapport à une fréquence du marqueur cible présélectionnée. L'utilisation d'une commande de rétroaction adaptative présente l'avantage de produire une distribution beaucoup plus étroite de fréquences de résonance réelles. Cette invention concerne également une presse à bobines permettant de produire en continu de tels marqueurs avec commande adaptative de la longueur des bandes résonantes.
