Abstract: A stereoscopic imaging device is described that attaches to an instrument, such as an endoscope or a borescope, which is characterized by an exit pupil in the vicinity of its proximal region. The imaging device includes a dual aperture plate and an optical switch that are disposed within a housing that attaches to the proximal region of the instrument. The dual aperture plate defines right and left, spaced-apart apertures respectively disposed at symmetric locations substantially in the plane of the exit pupil of the instrument. The optical switch alternately blocks light received from the instrument and passing through the right and left optical channels so that a stereoscopic view can be generated.

Abstract: An anaesthesia control system and a method of calculating an index representative of the depth of anaesthesia is disclosed. The method comprises subjecting a patient to a repetitive audio stimulus and monitoring and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) produced by the patient and then recording these auditory evoked potentials using EEG recording means and providing a signal corresponding to the coarseness of the monitored AEP signal and using this signal as an index indicative of anaesthetic depth. The raw AEP signal is divided into a series of sweeps and each sweep is synchronized with the repetitive audio stimulus and sweeps are recorded in sequence to produce a time averaged sweep from which the anaesthetic index is calculated. The anaesthetic index is constantly updated by repeatedly conducting a successive series of sweeps. The system and index signal can be used as part of an anaesthesia control system for regulating the supply of anaesthetic to the patient to maintain the anaesthetic index at a predetermined level.

Abstract: A firewall isolates computer and network resources inside the firewall from networks, computers and computer applications outside the firewall. Typically, the inside resources could be privately owned databases and local area networks (LAN's), and outside objects could include individuals and computer applications operating through public communication networks such as the Internet. Usually, a firewall allows for an inside user or object to originate connection to an outside object or network, but does not allow for connections to be generated in the reverse direction; i.e. from outside in. The disclosed invention provides a special "tunneling" mechanism, operating on both sides of a firewall, for establishing such "outside in" connections when they are requested by certain "trusted" individuals or objects or applications outside the firewall. The intent here is to minimize the resources required for establishing "tunneled" connections (connections through the firewall that are effectively requested from outside), while also minimizing the security risk involved in permitting such connections to be made at all. The mechanism includes special tunneling applications, running on interface servers inside and outside the firewall, and a special table of "trusted sockets" created and maintained by the inside tunneling application. Entries in the trusted sockets table define objects inside the firewall consisting of special inside ports, a telecommunication protocol to be used at each port, and a host object associated with each port. Each entry is "trusted" in the sense that it is supposedly known only by individuals authorized to have "tunneling" access through the firewall from outside.

Abstract: On utilise la photoablation au laser ultraviolet afin d'effectuer la structuration tridimensionnelle de substances biologiques et chimiques sur la surface de substrats polymères ou d'autres substrats absorbant les ultraviolets. Ce procédé permet de créer des lignes d'ablation, des trous ou des réseaux entiers de structures pouvant contenir sélectivement une substance chimique et présenter des dimensions critiques dans une plage de 1-1000 νm. On envoie des impulsions d'énergie élevée sur un substrat polymère protégé (2). On utilise pour cela un laser excimère ultraviolet qui crée par ablation (3) une cavité traversant la couche protectrice et pénétrant à l'intérieur du substrat sous-jacent. On peut fabriquer des structures géométriques complexes par utilisation répétée du laser à travers une série de masques sur des substrats fixes. Les structures polymères à ablation obtenues présentent une rugosité accrue, ce qui amplifie la surface de fixation des récepteurs chimiques ou biologiques, y compris des enzymes, des anticorps, des acides nucléiques, d'autres polymères, des gels ou des membranes. On peut alors procéder à la fixation, et ce grâce à une simple adsorption par, ou une conjugaison covalente ou non covalente, avec la totalité de la surface (ayant subi l'ablation ou non). Après la fixation, on peut simplement détacher la couche protectrice (5), enlèvant ainsi le matériau de fixation de toutes les surfaces, à l'exception de la surface définie par la photoablation au laser ultraviolet. On laisse ensuite la surface obtenue dans un état chimiquement et géométriquement défini par l'exposition initiale au laser ultraviolet.

Abstract: A two stroke cycle internal combustion engine (10) is provided which has a one-piece cylinder housing (14) removably secured to a valve drive housing (12) at a top section thereof and a crank housing (16) at a bottom section. The overall combination of the valve drive housing (12), the cylinder housing (14) and the crank housing (16) are formed in a substantially symmetrical manner about a vertical axis line (18). An intake valve member (30) is positioned in a top section of cylinder housing (14) with an exhaust port (62) located at the bottom of a piston (44) travel within a combustion chamber (54). The valve member (30) opens on a downward stroke of the piston (44) which feeds compressed air into chamber (54) and forces spent gases through the exhaust port (62). Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber (54) prior to the peak of the compression segment of the overall combustion cycle. The valve member (30) is formed of a substantially non-magnetic composition and is secured to a permanent magnet (32) which acts in cooperation with a reversible pole electromagnetic drive (28). With the one-piece formation of the component elements in combination with the symmetrical contour of overall engine (10), there is provided a higher engine efficiency coupled with a substantially cleaner combustion and allows for a modular design to simplify the construction and manufacturing of two cycle engine (10).

Abstract: During the drilling of rock by a rock drill bit, percussive impacts are applied to the drill bit by a reciprocating piston which impacts a shank that transmits the impacts to the drill bit. Secondary pistons are provided to push the shank forwardly in response to a pressure medium acting on rear surfaces of the secondary pistons. The secondary pistons push the shank to its optimum point of impact. During a drilling operation, as the piston applies percussive impacts, return pulses are reflected back to the secondary pistons. Pressure sensors detect the return pulses in the form of pressure pulses, which indicate whether the drill bit has encountered weaker or stronger materials. Based upon characteristics of the detected pressure pulses, the operation of the drilling machine, e.g., the feed and/or impact power thereof, is regulated, so that the shank is returned to its optimum point of contact.

Abstract: A simulation apparatus (2, 70) is operable to simulate propagation of light within a scene. The apparatus defines an environment containing a plurality of discrete paths (72) in a plurality of directions, along which energy is propagated in the environment. The apparatus determines the positions of objects and light sources in a scene, and records points (t) on the paths, at each of which points there is an intersection of an object or light source within the scene with the path (72). The apparatus identifies propagation of light source from the light sources, along the paths, and to further paths in accordance with the intersections. A corresponding method is also provided. Distribution of propagation of other energy, such as sound or heat, can be simulated in addition to or as an alternative to light propagation simulation.
