Abstract: A spin drum assembly (1) for a washing machine. The spin
drum assembly includes a door pivotally mounted to a spin
drum (40). The spin drum has a generally cylindrical side wall (44)
with opposing ends. The side wall defines an access
opening for loading items into the spin drum. A pair of
end caps (50,50') are respectively joined to the opposing ends of
the side wall. The end caps each have an outwardly-extending
shaft. The door (90) has a panel (92) with a pair of arms (96)
extending away therefrom. The panel is arcuately shaped so

Abstract: Interpolating operations are carried out on an
original image signal and in accordance with first and second
interpolating operation processes for obtaining
interpolation images having different levels of sharpness,
a feature measure, which represents the sharpness of the
original image signal, being thereby obtained. An
interpolating operation is carried out on the original image
signal and in accordance with a third interpolating operation
process, an interpolation image signal being thereby
calculated. The interpolation image signal is corrected in
accordance with the feature measure, and a final
interpolation image signal is thereby obtained. Image size
enlargement and reduction with interpolating operations are
thus capable of being carried out such that the sharpness
at a certain portion of the image may be altered.

Abstract: A circuit module for data processing comprises
several first inputs (I x,i ), several second inputs
(I y,i ) and several outputs (I i,j ). First transistors
(T i,j ) combine the first and second inputs. Each of the
first transistors (T i,j ) is connected at its emitter or
source with a first input and at its base or gate with a
second input. Each second input is further connected to
the base or gate and the emittor or source of a second
transistor (T i ). The currents of the outputs correspond
to the product of the currents through the individual inputs.
By combining the outputs sum products can be calculated,
especially for computing discrete probability distributions.

Abstract: An embryo implant catheter assembly includes an outer guide cannula (32) and an inner
catheter (22) which is slidably disposed in the guide cannula. The inner catheter is
operable to engage an embryo to be implanted in a female's uterus. The embryo is

during the implant procedure. The catheter has a varying stiffness from the distal end
to an opposite proximal end, the distal end being softer and the proximal end being
more rigid. The result is a catheter that is non-abraisive at its distal end, and resistant
to wobble at its proximal end. The catheter is produced by extruding mixtures of resins
which have different durometers, and varying the percentage of the resins in the
mixture along the length of the catheter.

Abstract: Magnetoresistive devices are disclosed which include a changeable
magnetic region within which at least two magnetic states can be imposed.
Upon magnetoresistive electrical interaction with the device, the
relative orientation of the magnetic states of the changeable magnetic
region, and a proximate reference magnetic region, can be sensed thereby
providing a binary data storage capability. The present invention limits
the electrical interaction to only a preferred portion of the changeable
magnetic region, e.g., the portion within which the two magnetic states
can be dependably predicted to be substantially uniform, and opposite of
one another. Structures for limiting the electrical interaction to this
preferred portion of the changeable magnetic region are disclosed, and
include smaller interaction regions, and alternating areas of insulation
and conductive, interaction regions, disposed proximate the changeable
magnetic region. The principles of the present invention can be applied
to magnetic random access memory ("MRAM") arrays, which employ giant
magnetoresistive ("GMR") cells, or magnetic tunnel junction ("MTJ")
cells, at the intersections of bitlines and wordlines, and also to
magnetic sensors such as magnetic data storage devices having access
elements used to access data on a magnetic data storage medium.
