Abstract: A method and apparatus for centering the stem of a femoral hip prosthesis in the cavity
formed in the medullary canal in the proximal end of the femur. The apparatus includes a sleeve
or other like device which is mounted onto the neck of the femoral hip prosthesis and which
contains at least two projections extending from a lower surface thereof which are adapted to seat
in correspondingly formed slots disposed on the upper proximal surface of the femur bone. The
slots are positioned such that when the projections reside therein, the stem is centered within the
cavity. The slots and projections are elongated in a direction generally transverse to the direction
of elongation of the stem, and in this direction of elongation each slot and associated projection
is not parallel to the other slot and associated projection. The device of this invention may be
used either with prosthesis having a collar, or with a collarless prosthesis. The method of this
invention includes the step of mounting a sleeve or other like device on the neck of a femoral hip
prosthesis and inserting projections on the device into previously formed slots disposed on the
upper proximal surface of the femur bone.

Abstract: A continuous ink jet printer emits a continuous stream of ink from
an ink stream generator. The stream breaks up into a plurality of droplets at a
position spaced from the ink stream generator. A stream deflector includes a
control surface (90) positioned adjacent to the stream (60) between the ink stream generator
and the position whereat the stream breaks up into droplets such that the stream
contacts the control surface and is thereby deflected due to a gain in free energy
caused by physical contact between the ink in the stream and the control surface.
Apparatus may be provided to modulate the position of the control surface to
change the direction of the stream between a print direction and a non-print
direction.

annular friction surface (110, 168, 106, 166), the first and
second members being combined with each other such that the
first and second members are rotatable relative to each
other about an axis line of the drum portion while the first

other, one (88, 132) of the first and second members
including a permanent magnet (104, 150), the other (86, 154)
of the first and second members including a magnetic portion
(92, 160) formed of a magnetic material, the permanent
magnet and the magnetic portion having respective shapes
which ensure that the permanent magnet and the magnetic
portion are opposed to each other at any relative angular
phase between the first and second members, the permanent
magnet exerting, to the magnetic portion, a magnetic
attraction force which causes the first and second friction
surfaces to be held in contact with each other while the
second member is not subjected to an external force greater
than the attraction force, the attraction force permitting
the second member to be separated from the first member when
the second member is subjected to the external force.

Abstract: Bracelet type watch bands generally comprise a first
band portion connected to one side of a watch and a second
band portion connected to the other side of the watch. The
first and second band portions are joined by an extensible
clasp. The clasp comprises a base member (1), an arm
(2,3), one end of which is hinged to the base member (1)
for pivotal movement with respect to the base member (1)
between an extended position in which the arm (2,3) is away
from the base member (1), and a closed position in which
the arm (2,3) overlies the base member (1). A lock has a
first locking member (4) attached to the free end of the
arm (2,3), and a second locking member (5) connected to the
base member (1). A portion (19) of the first or second
locking member (4,5) is moveable with respect to the other
in a plane substantially orthogonal to the direction of the
initial opening movement of the clasp from its closed
position to engage the two locking members (4,5) together.
This clasp allows for an additional movement in a direction
other than its direction of initial opening. The
additional movement therefore is generally in a plane
parallel to the base member (1). Accordingly it is
difficult for the clasp to be opened accidentally since two
distinct movements in two different directions are
required.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un récepteur non cohérent de signaux radio numériques modulés, linéaires ou non, éventuellement affectés par le codage de voies. Dans le cas des modulations MPD n- valente ou M-QAM, éventuellent combinées à un codage de voies, le signal reçu est démodulé et filtré par un filtre adapté à l'impulsion émise. Dans le cas de modulations linéaires en présence de brouillage intersymbole (ISI) et de modulations M-CPM non linéaires, le filtre récepteur est adapté et blanchi. Le signal est filtré et échantillonné et ces échantillons sont accumulés dans une mémoire à reconstruction de phase appropriée contenant N-1 échantillons précédant l'échantillon courant. Ces échantillons sont traités par un processeur de Viterbi évaluant la séquence de symboles transmis en fonction de la probabilité maximale. Selon le premier mode de réalisation, le branchement est mesuré grâce à une évaluation de la phase de la porteuse dans un mode PSP (traitement par l'explorateur). Ceci augmente la performance du récepteur. Selon un second mode de réalisation, la mesure du branchement par treillis est obtenue à partir de l'expression de l'estimation de séquence à probabilité maximale. L'algorithme de Viterbi peut être appliqué dans ce cas.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Steuern von Kristallzüchtungsprozessen, welche verschiedenartige Prozeß-Phasen - z. B. Einschmelzen oder Abkühlen - durchlaufen und bei denen die Form des Kristalls während der Züchtung verschiedene Bereiche aufweist, beispielsweise einen Hals und/oder eine Schulter. Jedem einzelnen dieser Bereiche und Phasen sind dabei bestimmte Prozeßparameter und Zielgrößen sowie Eingangswerte und Ausgangswerte zugeordnet, beispielsweise ein bestimmter Gasdruck oder eine bestimmte Kristall-Drehgeschwindigkeit. Die Verknüpfung dieser Größen erfolgt durch Funktionsgeneratoren oder Tabellen. Mit Hilfe einer erfindungsgemäßen Regelvorrichtung wird es ermöglicht, bei grundsätzlich gleichartigem Aufbau und übersichtlicher Struktur für jede der speziellen Prozeßphasen und Kristallabschnitte eine speziell angepaßte Verknüpfung der jeweils erforderlichen Ein- und Ausgangsgrößen zu erzeugen. Das ermöglicht eine optimierte Prozeßführung mit hoher Reproduzierbarkeit, bei der manuelle Eingriffe des Bedienpersonals während des gesamten Prozesses und auch während der Übergangsphasen zwischen verschiedenen Prozeßabschnitten nicht mehr erforderlich sind.

Abstract: A method for generating a tree structure representation of a generalized graph
structure for display includes the more important links in the representation. Usage
parameters are referenced in generating the tree structure from the generalized
graph structure. Frequency, recency, spacing of accesses, and path information are
exemplary types of usage parameters. A breadth-first or depth-first traversal of the
graph references usage parameters associated with each node or link. The usage
parameters which are associated with each node are referenced in order to
determine the visitation order. The visitation order is determined by visiting the
highest used nodes or links first. A method of displaying the tree structure
references the usage parameters to determine the positioning of the nodes in the
layout of the tree structure. In a preferred embodiment, the root node is positioned
in the center of the layout. In one example, sibling nodes are spread out on links
which emanate radially about their parent. The highest-used sibling nodes can be
placed farthest apart from each other so as to achieve optimal separation so that
they have the most growth space. The lowest-used nodes are then placed in the
remaining space between the high-usage nodes. In another example, sibling nodes
are positioned at the same radius from the root node. Each leaf node in the
hierarchy is assigned the same amount of angular space. The layout angle of each
node is a function of the ranking of the node's usage parameter relative to its
siblings. Derived usage parameters such as need probability, cocitation clustering,
or functions of both node and link usages can alternatively be referenced.

of the valve member (12) by being supplied with a current, and
a spring (28, 32) which presses the armature (38) away from the
