Abstract: A surgical element for use as a replacement or augmentation for a damaged ligament or tendon comprises a multiplicity of flexible filaments (e.g., carbon fibres) held together in substantially parallel array, characterised in that these filaments for a core (11) with braided sheathing (12) over at least one portion. The sheathing filaments may have a more open weave over an intermediate portion of the core, or not braided over a «window» (16), or omitted completely from an intermediate portion, for encouraging penetration and ingrowth of healing tissue between the core filaments. Tails (13) are formed into eyes (18) by looping and secured to bones (19) by attachment devices (20), with the «window» located where it is desired to encourage the ingrowth of healing tissue.

Title: Training apparatus for practising a mother tongue or a foreign language with regard to its complete assimilation
Inventor: TOMATIS ALFRED ANGE AUGUSTE
IPC: G09B5/04
Filed: 1984-05-18
Abstract: An apparatus for assisting the practice of the mother tongue or a foreign language, with a view to total assimilation thereof, comprises a standard signal generator constituted by a mobile support of sound recordings on which are previously recorded, independently of one another, blocks of phrases or words, expressed in the language to be assimilated by a subject. A reader of these blocks of information emits the standard signals. An analysis and comparison circuit compares a standard signal and a vocal signal which corresponds to the word pronounced by the user, based on at least one parameter. When the vocal signal is not within a predetermined tolerance of the standard signal, the standard signal is repeated. If the vocal signal is within the tolerance, the next standard signal is generated. In this way, the user repeats each word until he pronounces it correctly.

Title: Incremental actuator
Inventor: CITRIN PAUL S
IPC: G05G7/00
Filed: 1985-02-06
Abstract: A manually operated actuator is described with which small incremental motions of a rod are obtained to advance a piston of a prefilled syringe. The device employs a reci- procalJy actuated drive element with a hole through which the rod passes freely when the drive element is in a release position. When the drive element is pivoted to a rod engaging position a pair of edges formed by the hole engage the rod and advance it an increment depending upon the amount of linear movement of the drive element. A back-up inhibitor is employed to prevent the rod from moving back when the drive element is returned to a release position. The back-up inhibitor is syringe responsive by employing a mechanism which causes engagement of the rod by the inhibitor when a syringe is attached to the actuator housing. A syringe with specially adapted flanges is described for use with the actuator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for cutting off pieces of wire of predeterminable and varying length, which is in each case determined by a length-measuring stop in the wire channel of a wire-straightening and/or cutting machine. In order to achieve good and rapid adaptation to different lengths of wire and to their respective feed rate and very short wire stoppage times, two pulses are triggered by the wire as it moves in the feed direction, the said pulses being fed to a computer in order to output a signal which triggers the cutting motion of the cutting device as a function of the time which has elapsed between the two pulses. Provided for this purpose are a pretrigger pulse generator (28) and a length-measuring stop (26) with a pulse generator (27), via which the two pulses are produced in each cutting cycle. The spacing of the pretrigger pulse generator (28) with respect to the pulse generator (27) of the length- measuring stop (26) is in each case effected as a function of the maximum expected speed of the wire and is effected in infinitely variable fashion over the entire length attachment. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 57 A method for dynamically assigning addresses to new modules as they are coupled to a communication system (100) with a synchronous data link control (SDLC) bus is described. These modules communicate with a display unit via the SDLC bus. The SDLC bus is controlled by a primary station (102) in the display unit, with all modules acting as secondary stations (104, 106, 108). The primary station (102) periodically broadcasts a time-tag to all modules at a thirty-two hertz rate. At power up, each module obtains a number, modulo 16, derived from the lower four bits of its unique twenty-four bit serial number. The module uses this number as a count of the number of time-tags which must occur before the module responds to the primary with an address request. If there are no collisions with other modules, the primary sends the module a packet which assigns the module the next available address. In the event of a collision (i.e., two or more modules request an address at the same time), the primary SDLC controller detects a CRC error and ignores the SDLC frame. The modules will each time-out and obtain a new number, modulo 16, derived from the next significant four bits of the module serial number. This process continues until the module obtains an address.

Abstract: A method of producing heterologous proteins comprises causing secretion of a heterologous protein into the periplasmic space by using, as the gene expression elements, a expression elements of a gram-positive bacterial strain and, as the host, a gram-negative bacterial strain. 
     The invention has thus enabled production of heterologous proteins in gram-negative bacteria through the use of gene expression elements of a gram-positive bacterial strain and has contributed to technology diversification in the field of genetic engineering. On the occasion of the secretion of the heterologous protein into the periplasmic space of gram-negative bacteria, the signal peptide is cleaved off, whereby the protein is obtained in the form of a mature protein free of methionine at the N terminal.

Abstract: This invention relates to a multi-position bed such as is used in hospitals for persons who by reason of physical disability or age are unable to turn or move themselves in bed. As shown in Figure 4 the bed comprises a base frame (1) supported on casters and having a pair of pivoted angled lifting arms (2). One of the pair of lifting arms is pivoted in turn to an interlink pivoted to a pivot bracket (4). The other lifting arm (2) is pivoted directly to a second pivot. 
<??>The pivot brackets (4) and (5) act as the pivot supports for the centre section (6) of a mattress platform which also comprises two side sections (7). The side sections (7) are not hinged directly to the centre section but simply have interengaging features in the form of side frame registers (11). When the bed is used as a turning bed the interengaging features (11) disengage. 
<??>The side sections (7) are carried by pairs of links (8) and (9) which join the pivot brackets (4) to the side sections (7) at points underneath the side sections. These side sections are also connected by side frame pivot arms (13) to an end pivot frame (12), at each end of the bed, the pivot frame (12) being rigidly connected to the centre bed section (6). The movement of the bottom links (8) is restricted, in a downward direction, by bottom link stops (10). 
<??>The links (8, 9) may be disconnected and the side sections (7) connected rigidly to the centre section (6) so that the mattress platform can be caused to tilt bodily in a lateral sense.

Title: Method for communicating with remote units of a distributive data processing system
Inventor: BLAIR BRIAN EDWARD
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1986-09-09
Abstract: Described is an architecture and protocol for exchanging messages within a distributive data processing system. Instead of transmitting a frame with a beginning flag field (SDEL) followed by an address field as is the usual case, the SDEL field and address field collapsed and merged into a single field. The field includes a control bit whose setting determines whether the field is the beginning of a frame or otherwise. A second control bit within the single field is used to identify the type of message being transmitted and the response that a recipient station is permitted to return to a control unit issuing the message. The protocol is well suited for framing messages in the well known SDLC communications format. In this format it allows the detection of delimiters without resorting to bit stuffing.
