Abstract: An instrument assembly for use in orthopaedic surgery comprises a reamer or other cutting component which is to be positioned within a body cavity to engage a bone, having at least one bar portion extending across it. A manipulator has at least one clasp for engaging the bar portion so as to fasten the cutting component to the manipulator, the clasp comprising a hook and a keeper pin. The hook can be displaced relative to the keeper pin between an open position in which the keeper pin is retracted relative to the hook so that the hook is open at one side to allow the bar portion to be slid between the hook and the keeper pin, and a closed position in which the keeper pin closes the hook sufficiently to prevent the bar portion from being removed from under the hook. At least one of the contacting surfaces of the bar portion and the hook which contact one another when the bar portion is inserted between the hook and the keeper pin, or the surface of the bar portion which contacts the keeper pin, provides a ramp so that sliding the bar portion between the hook and the keeper pin causes the hook to be displaced relative to the keeper pin, towards the open position. The hook is biassed towards the closed position.

Abstract: After entering a transparent substrate 9 of an organic EL device and passing through this substrate 9, an outside light L1 further passes through a transparent electrode 10 and an organic light emitting layer 12 to be reflected by a reflective electrode 13. Here, the reflective electrode 13 has irregularities and therefore the outside light L1 is diffused and reflected by this at various angles. These reflected lights are further diffused when passing through an irregularity surface 11 of the transparent electrode 10, and outgo from the transparent substrate 9 toward a liquid crystal panel. On the other hand, lights L2 to L4 emitted from the organic light emitting layer 12 are diffused when passing through the irregularity surface 11 of the transparent electrode 10, and outgo from the transparent substrate 9 toward the liquid crystal panel.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of operating a catalyst for treating the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, the catalyst comprising, in addition to catalytically active noble metals, also storage components for storing hydrocarbons. During engine operating phases at low exhaust-gas temperatures, such a catalyst stores the hydrocarbons contained in the exhaust gas without burning them. When the exhaust-gas temperature rises, these hydrocarbons are desorbed again and then oxidized at the catalytically active noble metals. This process can lead to uncontrolled, vigorous combustion of the hydrocarbons stored on the catalyst and, therefore, damage to the catalyst. According to the invention, this damage is avoided by continuously calculating the respective loading of the storage components with hydrocarbons and repeatedly regenerating the storage components depending on the loading by temporarily raising the exhaust-gas temperature before damage to the catalyst can occur.

Abstract: Interpolation data for a missing pixel are obtained (4) after a correction (3) for variations in the characteristics of the imaging devices (8(1), 8(2)). The correction for variations in characteristics includes, for example, a black level correction (9) and a sensitivity correction (10). The interpolation includes, for example, interpolation calculations (14(1), 14(2)) such that a mean value of a plurality of pixels including the missing pixel and a mean value of a plurality of pixels not including the missing pixel become equal and an interpolation calculation (14(0)) that takes the mean of the pixels to the right and left of the missing pixel, the calculation with the least error being selected (13, 15). Thus missing pixels in highly periodic images can be properly interpolated, and interpolation can be performed with high precision even when there are variations in the sensitivity characteristics of the individual imaging devices constituting the contact image sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for suppressing inter-carrier interference in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing mobile communication system, comprising: performing down conversion of the signal received in the receiver; removing the cyclic prefix of the signal so as to obtain the original signal; performing cyclic extension of the original signal over again; adding a window to the signal after cyclic extension, wherein the window function satisfies Nyquist criterion. The method according to the invention does not need time delay information of channels, and thereby is simple to realize. The selected roll-off coefficient can be up to 1 so as to suppress ICI to the utmost extent. Additionally, the invention also suggests that the generic window functions without the ICI can be used in OFDM system, which makes the system capability of suppressing ICI stronger by means of finding the best polynomial coefficients on the condition that the roll-off coefficient is 1.
