IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: An ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus consisting of a therapeutic ultrasonic wave generating source (2) is driven by a driver circuit (14) to generate therapeutic ultrasonic waves, an in vivo imaging probe (16) so as to obtain a tomographic image in the vicinity of the focus of the therapeutic ultrasonic waves. The imaging probe (16) is used to receive echoes of the ultrasonic pulses emitted from therapeutic ultrasonic wave generating source. The driving conditions for the therapeutic ultrasonic wave generating source (2) is adjusted on the basis of a received echo signal. The received echo signal contains information about actual intensity of the therapeutic ultrasonic waves within a living body, thus improving the safety and reliability of therapy.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for determining and resolving cache conflicts among data arrays that are stored in the main memory of a computer system in which the main memory is coupled with a memory cache that is coupled in turn with a microprocessor. According to the method of the invention, a cache shape vector that characterizes the size and dimension of the cache is determined under computer control. A determination of at least one cache conflict among the arrays stored in the main memory is then determined, in addition to the conflict region in the cache for the conflicting arrays. A padding value is then determined for the arrays stored in the main memory, and the memory locations of the arrays are adjusted in accordance with the padding value to prevent cache conflicts when the data from the conflicting arrays is transferred from the main memory into the cache.

Abstract: Methods and processes to reduce the cost and cycle time of designing manufacturing flows are described, particularly for microelectronic integrated circuit processes. One embodiment of the present invention is a method which divides the task of designing process flows into a number of abstraction levels and provides mechanisms to translate between these levels of abstraction. The process is divided into a number of modules each having process constraints. Process constraints are propagated backwards from the final module to the first module, and may also be propagated forward from earlier modules to later modules if needed. This approach results in a top-down design methodology where requirements from higher levels of abstraction are successively reduced to lower abstraction levels, while meeting the constraints imposed by the lower levels.

Abstract: A flame attenuator for poke-through constructions. The device is formed from a
plurality of overlapping segments of metal screen firmly attached to a base frame and
forming an inverted funnel-like structure with each of the segments converging loosely
at the top of the inverted funnel. In application, the transmission shifter lever penetrates
the smaller, upper hole thus formed, and in spite of being moved in horizontal arcs,
maintains contact with the overlapping screen segments. Since there are a variety of
boot geometries (circular based, oval based, and rectangular based) the flame attenuator
base frame is provided in multiple shapes to accommodate the different boot
configurations. The attenuator is located inside the shifter boot, and is manufactured
either integrally to the boot, or as an add-on item. The flame attenuator protects the boot
from rapid burn-through in the event of an engine fire.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved method for determining
the concentration of a first analyte in a fluid test
sample as a function of a second analyte also present
in the sample whose concentration in the fluid sample
is clinically related to that of the first analyte.
The method involves determining the concentration of
the first analyte, and, if this concentration is outside
of its useful analytical range, dividing this
concentration by the normal concentration of the second
analyte. This method of ratioing the concentrations
of the first and second analyte is advantageous
because accuracy is increased with fewer false positive
and false negative results being reported.
