Abstract: A method of manufacturing an ultrasound transducer (60), which includes forming a plate into a hollow spherical cap by deformation, wherein the plate is initially in the form of a disc of a composite piezoelectric material. The step of forming is preceded by at least one slit (70) into the plate, wherein the at least one slit has a radial orientation and extends from the peripheral edge (72) of the disc (20) towards its center (C). After the step of forming, two facing, oppositely situated free edges (74, 76) which bound the slit (70) are substantially in contact with one another so as to minimize internal stresses in the cap caused by the deformation. A transducer obtained by such a method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention aims at providing a folding type radio terminal, a call start method and a call start program which allows the user to start a call with a simple operation. On the folding type radio terminal, when a motor driving button is pressed while an incoming signal is being received with a top lid open with respect to a main unit, a controller drives a motor to open the top lid. When a top lid state detector has detected that the top lid is fully open or a predetermined time is measured by the timer from the driving of the motor, the controller 155 shuts down the motor. The controller performs call connection processing in response to the incoming signal so as to place the radio terminal in the call state. This starts a call. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention uses light to determine the distance from the tip of a probe to the internal wall of the canal, and based on the position of the probe, this information is used to generate information about the shape of the canal. Light with a first and a second wavelength range is directed onto a semi-transparent mirror surface at the distal portion of the probe. Light in the first wavelength range is reflected from the mirror surface to illuminate a circumferential area of the internal surface of the canal, and light in the second wavelength range is transmitted through the mirror surface to illuminate an area in front of the distal portion of the probe. The received light is analyzed in the first wavelength range to determine the distance from the probe to the internal surface of the canal at points of the circumference, and analyzed in the second wavelength range to determine the distance from the probe to an object in front of the probe. Thereby it is ensured, that the bottom surface of the canal is not touched or injured while the internal surface of the canal is measured.

Abstract: A biasing scheme for a MOSFET that mitigates the MOSFET body effect. The biasing scheme can be realized replicating the voltage at the source terminal of a MOSFET and applying this replicated voltage to the body terminal. In this manner, the effect of the body transconductance, at high frequencies, becomes a function of the ratio of the well-to-substrate capacitance of the MOSFET to the sum of the well-to-substrate capacitance and the source-to-body capacitance of the transistor. At high frequencies, the biasing scheme mitigates the reduction in gain of a source follower caused by the body effect of a driven MOSFET within the source follower, improves the stability of a feedback network established by a gain boosting amplifier and the driven MOSFET by contributing a negative half plane zero to the transfer function of the feedback network, and reduces the power consumed by the gain boosting amplifier.

Abstract: An automated endoscope reprocessor ( 10 ) includes a removable rack ( 12 ) for receiving a container ( 16, 16' ). The container has a clamshell housing ( 20 ) having two mating portions ( 24, 26 ). The portions together define an internal pressurizable chamber ( 56 ) for receiving an endoscope head ( 22 ). The endoscope's connector cord ( 82 ) is carried through an outlet ( 80 ) to the chamber. The outlet is defined by channels ( 88, 90 ), one in each of the two housing portions ( 24, 26 ). A gasket assembly in the outlet provides a restricted fluid passage which allows a small portion of fluid to flow through the outlet when the connector cord is positioned therein. The gasket assembly ( 120 ) includes a number of resiliently flexible fins ( 126, 128, 130 ) positioned in each channel, each fin having a U-shaped slot ( 144, 146, 148 ). Pairs of fins overlap such that the slots together define openings ( 150 ) of diminishing size. Depending on the diameter of the cord, the cord is contacted by one or more of the fins adjacent the respective slot. A reprocessing liquid, such as peracetic acid in solution, is pumped into the chamber ( 56 ). The liquid leaks slowly through the slots, allowing an above ambient pressure to be maintained in the chamber, while ensuring that all exterior surfaces of the endoscope are contacted with the reprocessing liquid.
