Abstract: The inventive system, which is used in transmitting illumination from a central source to a variety of remote locations, efficiently couples the light originating from an arc lamp, or similar source, into a multiplicity of flexible macroscopic fibers. The combination of the several elements of the inventive system results in a very efficient transfer of the energy of the light source to the fibers. The system also provides a very flexible mechanical means for distributing the energy to the fibers and to the remote locations at which the light is used.

Abstract: By encoding references to teletext pages as an offset to a referenced teletext page, significant gains in transmission efficiency can be realized. The current teletext standard provides a mechanism for linking teletext pages, but the maximum number of different links supported by the teletext standard is insufficient to cover the need for more links for novel media services such as the transmission of Electronic Program Guides (EPG). An efficient extension of the number of links which can be supported is provided by coding further links as an offset with respect to the existing links in a conventional teletext link packet.

Abstract: An apparatus for temporarily immobilizing a local area of tissue. In particular, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for temporarily immobilizing a local area of heart tissue to thereby permit surgery on a coronary vessel in that area without significant deterioration of the pumping function of the beating heart. The local area of heart tissue is immobilized to a degree sufficient to permit minimally invasive or micro-surgery on that area of the heart. The present invention features a suction device to accomplish the immobilization. The suction device is coupled to a source of negative pressure.  The suction device has a series of suction ports on one surface. Suction through the device causes suction to be maintained at the ports. The device further is shaped to conform to the surface of the heart. Thus, when the device is placed on the surface of the heart and suction is created, the suction through the ports engages the surface of the heart. The suction device is further fixed or immobilized to a stationary object, such as an operating table or a sternal or rib retractor. Thus, the local area of the heart near the suction device is temporarily fixed or immobilized relative to the stationary object while suction is maintained. In such a fashion, the coronary artery may be immobilized even though the heart itself is still beating so that a bypass graft may be performed. In addition the suction device may be used in either a conventional, open-chest environment or in a minimally-invasive environment, e.g. endoscopic.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring an a.c. current flowing in an electric cable comprises a pair of jaws for receiving the cable and which are movable towards one another to engage the opposite sides of the cable. A potentiometer generates a signal ("cable size signal") corresponding to the relative positions of the jaws. A set of coils is provided adjacent the jaws to detect the magnetic field generated by current flowing in the cable. A circuit in the housing is responsive to the cable size signal and the voltage induced in the coil for determining the amplitude of the current flowing in the cable and displaying the same on a display.

Abstract: The procedure for regulating the concentration of sodium in a dialysis fluid at a predetermined level so that the fluid inside the patient tends towards a desired concentration as the patient's blood and dialysis fluid are circulated on either side of a semi-permeable membrane (4) in a dialyser (1) consists of determining the concentration of sodium in the dialysis fluid, the desired concentration, the perfusion flow rate and the concentration in the perfusion fluid and adjusting the dialysis fluid concentration accordingly. The concentration of sodium in the dialysis fluid is determined from a set formula based on the desired concentration, the concentration in the perfusion fluid, the fluid flow rate and the dialyser separating capacity. The separating capacity is determined by circulating at least two dialysis fluids with different conductivities, taking two or more conductivity measurements before and after the dialyser, and calculating the separation capacity from the values obtained, using a second formula.
