Abstract: The present invention involves a elongated member, such as a wire guide, that is used with in a endoscopic procedure. In one aspect of the invention, the elongate member includes a first system of indicia comprising a scale reference markings that can include numeric indicia, sequentially increasing markers, etc., located at regular increments (e.g., 1 cm) on the distal portion of the elongate member, that permit measurement of structures within a body passage. In one example, an exchange wire guide having a radiopaque marker on the distal portion is positioned under fluoroscopy at a first location, such as the distal point of a structure, and the scale reference marking on the wire guide that visible in the viewing region of the endoscope is read. The wire guide is partially withdrawn such that the marker corresponds to a second position (e.g., the proximal point of the stricture) and the new scale reference marking is read. The difference is calculated to determine the length of the structure. In a second aspect of the invention, a second system of indicia are included to aid the endoscopist in maintaining the device in position. These indicia, which may include oblique markings, helical striping, or some other closely spaced markings or pattern, help in the detection of longitudinal movement of the device.

Abstract: A differential engine with variable torque conversion. The differential engine comprises a motor, a torque conversion stage, and a loading mechanism. The motor operates at a constant speed and provides input rotational torque to the torque conversion stage. The torque conversion stage converts the input rotational torque into a rotational torque at an output shaft which is coupled to a load, for example, an automobile wheel. The torque conversion stage includes first and second differential stages which are coupled together with a pair of shafts, with the shafts rotating in opposite directions. The first differential stage comprises an input shaft which is coupled to the output shaft of the motor, and first and second output shafts which are coupled to the respective shafts. A gear mechanism in the first differential stage translates the rotational torque from the motor to the first and second output shafts. The second differential stage comprises an output coupled to the output drive shaft, and first and second input shafts which are coupled to the respective shafts. The second differential stage includes a gear mechanism which applies a rotational torque to the output drive shaft when a difference occurs between the rotational speeds for the shafts. The rotational speeds of the shafts are varied by loading one or both of the shafts. The loading mechanisms include electrical or mechanical.

Abstract: The vacuum installation for treating disc-type workpieces has a central distributor chamber (7) into which the workpieces are introduced from a lock through a communicating opening, which can be closed by means of a closure element (8), with the aid of a transfer mechanism (10, 11, 12), preferably in the form of a robot arm, disposed in the distributor chamber. Intermediate chambers (15) which are distributed over the circumference of the distributor chamber (7), furthermore adjoin the same as replaceable modules, it being possible to close the communication between the latter at every connecting point by a closure element (14). An intermediate chamber (15) communicates with at least one process chamber (24, 25) via an associated communication opening (22, 23), which latter can be opened for the purpose of separating the process chamber from the intermediate chamber. Disposed in the intermediate chamber (15) is a further transfer mechanism (20, 21) for the purpose of receiving the workpieces from the first transfer mechanism (10, 11, 12) which deposits the workpieces on an elevating platform (26, 27) disposed underneath a processing chamber (24, 25). The elevating platform introduces the workpiece into the associated process chamber and at the same time isolates the latter from the distributor chamber (15) in doing so. Preferably, a plurality of process chambers is assigned to every intermediate chamber (15). The closure elements (8, 14, 26, 27) at the communication openings between the chambers (7, 15, 24, 25) are controlled while the processes are being carried out in a manner such that no undesirable leakage of gases or particles from one process chamber into the other can take place.
