Abstract: A longitudinal balance test circuit connects to the tip and ring lines of a pair of telephone wires. It also connects to a shield conductor that extends with the tip and ring lines. The test circuit includes a transformer which has two windings. One winding connects to the tip and ring lines, and it also connects to the shield conductor. The other winding connects to a signal generator that provides an alternating current test voltage with which to test longitudinal balance of the tip and ring lines. A method of testing a telephone line for longitudinal balance comprises: measuring an alternating current test signal applied to a telephone line under test; measuring stressed noise of the telephone line in response to the applied alternating current test signal; calculating, in response to the measured alternating current test signal and the measured stressed noise, an adjusted value related to longitudinal balance regardless of the length of the telephone line under test; and displaying the adjusted value.

Abstract: Disclosed heroin arc processes for polymerizing ethylene, acyclic olefins, and/or selected cyclic olefins, and optionally selected olefinic eaters a carboxylic acids, and other monomers. The polymerizations are catalysed by selected transition metal compounds, and sometimes other co-catalysts. Since some of the polymerizations exhibit some characteristics of living polymerizations, block copolymers can be readily made. Many of the polymers produced are often novel, particularly in regard to their microstructure, which gives some of them unusual properties. Numerous novel catalysts are disclosed, as well as some novel processes for making them. The polymers made are useful as elastomers, molding resins, in adhesives, etc. Also described herein is the synthesis of linear a.olefins by the oligomerization of ethylene using as a catalyst system a combination of a nickel compound having a selected .alpha.-diimine ligand and a selected Lewis or Bronsted acid, or by contacting selected $(a)diimine nickel complexes with ethylene.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for preparing a femur to receive a modular prosthetic femoral component. A distal reamer having a plurality of sets of depth marks is utilized to prepare the distal femoral canal. The sets of depth marks on the distal reamer correspond in number to the number of distal femoral stems available for use with the particular modular prosthetic femoral implant set. Each set of depth marks comprises a plurality of indicator rings corresponding in number to the number of proximal bodies adapted for utilization with the prosthetic femoral component set. Prior to distal reaming, the appropriate set of depth marks and indicator ring is chosen corresponding to the modular components the surgeon wishes to utilize. Reaming then takes place until the chosen indicator ring is aligned with a reference point (e.g., the top of the greater trochanter). Upon reaching the appropriate reaming depth, the distal reamer is left in place in the femoral canal. A cannulated forming tool, e.g. a rasp or reamer, is thereafter positioned over the shank of the distal reamer and utilized to effect proximal canal sizing. The distal reamer head is sized whereby the proximal reamer, e.g., will abut the reaming head of the distal reamer when the proximal reamer reaches the appropriate depth associated with the shortest distal stem of the modular femoral component set. In this way, the head of the distal reamer provides a mechanical stop for the proximal reamer so that both under reaming and over reaming are avoided. In cases in which a longer femoral stem is utilized, a cylindrical spacer having a length corresponding to the length difference between the shortest distal stem and the chosen distal stem is utilized to provide a mechanical stop for the proximal reamer. The reamer spacer includes an elongate aperture sized whereby the reamer spacer fits about the shank of the distal reamer.
