Inventor: THIEBLOT JEAN-PAUL
IPC: A45C13/22
Filed: 1999-04-21
Abstract: A rear panel for a wheeled vertical suitcase including an internal retractable pull handle assembly is described herein. The retractable pull handle assembly includes a pull handle telescopically mounted in generally parallel receiving tubes mounted to an internal surface of a rear wall of the wheeled suitcase. A receiving tube covering assembly comprising spacer elements and a covering membrane is also included and defines, with the rear wall, the rear panel of the suitcase.      The spacer elements are approximately the same thickness as the receiving tubes and are mounted to the internal surface of the rear wall to define, with the receiving tubes, a flat surface. The covering membrane may thus be mounted to this flat surface to define a flat receiving surface.

Inventor: SPEHR PAUL R
IPC: A61F2/90
Filed: 1998-03-24
Abstract: Endocardial lead assemblies (10) are disclosed that may be particularly useful for placement within the coronary sinus. The lead assemblies may have open ends or closed ends. Lead assemblies having closed ends may be implanted using conventional implantation procedures. Lead assemblies having open ends may be implanted by first locating a stylet within the patient's body and, then, inserting the lead into the patient's body along the stylet. Each disclosed lead assembly uses one or more stents (40a, 40b) which expand to contact the inner surface of a body vessel once the lead has been properly positioned.  Thus, the stents fix the lead at the desired location. Additionally, the stents may be used as electrodes for pacing and/or sensing.

IPC: G07F9/10
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: A vending machine having an anti-pilferage door mechanism with a delivery door interconnected through linkage to an anti-pilferage door and a rear door which come together to close off the opening for the product storage area to the product dispensing chamber when the delivery door is opened by a customer thus preventing any opening which would allow a pilferage device such as a wire to be inserted through the delivery door opening up into the product storage area. The linkage which connects the delivery door to the anti-pilferage door and rear door is on one side of the dispensing chamber and a spring biasing mechanism is mounted on an opposite side of the chamber and assists in biasing the delivery door closed while providing a force reduction exerted by the spring as the door is opened.

Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: A workstation has a feed device (1) for sample tube racks (7), comprising a balance (17) in which the weight of individual sample tubes (6) is determined by a procedure in which the sample tube holder (7) is weighed in each case before and after removal of each sample tube (6) and the difference between the weights is determined. Removal is effected in each case by means of a gripper (23) of a transfer device (3) which then distributes the sample tubes (6) over sample tube buckets (22) in such a way that said buckets form pairs having approximately the same weights.      With the aid of a receiving device (27) which is gripped by the gripper (23) and removed from a holder, the sample tube buckets (22) are picked up and introduced into a centrifuge (2). They are removed again after centrifuging and, after the receiving device (27) has been deposited in the holder, the individual sample tubes (6) are removed from the sample tube buckets (22) by the gripper and deposited on carriers (5) of a conveying device (4).

Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: In a method of expressing a blurring effect by operating a maximum frequency involved in image data of sampling frequency, a problem that first pixel becomes too dark when a cut-off coefficient k is small value and a problem occurring by unnatural blurring processing on the boundaries of pixels in which the k value abruptly changes are solved. The filtering processing is carried out after memory value of filter is set so that output value of the filter can be same as pixel value of input pixel data, where first pixel of each line is processed. And, the memory value of filter is set so that target output y t processed by filter parameter A2 becomes (y1 + y2)/2, in which y1 is output to filter parameter A1 before blurring processing and y2 is output to filter parameter A2 after the blur processing, where k value between pixels highly changes and unnatural condition possibly occurs.
