Title: Method for suppressing undesired automatic transmitter change-over
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 1990-10-16
Abstract: 2.1 When in mobile radio receivers which can receive RDS data the received quality drops below a certain limit, all alternative frequencies are first checked for their receive quality and if no receivable alternative frequency is found, a search run is started. In the case of disturbances which affect the entire frequency band as is the case, for example, in a tunnel or in an underground garage, such a transmitter search run is unwanted, as a rule, and should be suppressed if possible. 2.2 The unwanted transmitter search run is suppressed in that a fast unnoticeable search run is started before the transmitter search run, in which it is determined whether the entire frequency band is disturbed. If this is so, the frequency last received undisturbed is set and the transmitter search run is cancelled. The fast search run is repeated after a predeterminable time until transmitters can be received again. 2.3 Mobile radio receivers which are suitable for receiving RDS data.   <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for thermally destroying tissue
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1990-04-11
Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for thermally destroying a layer of an organ such as the mucosal layer of the gall bladder. The apparatus includes a catheter (100) having an elongated member (103) having a plurality of lumens therein. At the distal end of the elongated member is an electrode (104) for emitting radiofrequency current to the mucosal layer (101). Also at the distal end is a capacitive balloon electrode (106) surrounding the current-emitting electrode for containing an electrolyte solution (107) and for distributing the radiofrequency current to the mucosal layer (101). The balloon electrode is expanded with the electrolyte solution to conform and make contact with the mucosal layer. The electrolyte solution has a resistivity significantly less than the resistivity of the gall bladder wall, as well as the gall bladder bile, to cause a concentrated power deposition in the mucosal layer. The distal end of the catheter is endoscopically inserted into the body (114) of the gall bladder (102) by a retrograde route through the duodenum (117), common bile duct (118) and cystic duct (119). While the balloon electrode is being expanded, the bile present in the gall bladder is drained through one of the lumens in the elongated member. The apparatus also includes a radiofrequency generator (112) for supplying radiofrequency current to the current-emitting electrode. The current-emitting electrode is energized for a period of time to cause the mucosal layer to be heated for a predetermined period of time to thermally coagulate the mucosal layer of the gall bladder and cystic duct. A dispersive electrode (120) is positioned on the skin of the patient's body to facilitate a complete circuit back to the generator without causing trauma to the patient.

Title: Hair removal device
IPC: A45D26/00
Filed: 1990-02-14
Abstract: The motor-powered depilatory device (10) for removing 
skin hair is provided in a compact, efficient, hand-held unit, 
based on the operation of an axially rotatable hair-plucking 
element (30) provided as a plurality of discs (36) adjacently 
coupled in column form. By provision of a central spine 
comprising a pre-tensioned spring (41), the discs (36 ) are 
maintained adjacent one another under tension, while the column 
is bendable. When rotated axially at one end, the hair-plucking 
element (30) transfers the rotation via rotational coupling of 
the adjacent discs (36) in the column. Thus, even if the 
column is bent in an arched configuration, the rotational motion 
is transferred across its entire length. Preferably, the 
rotationally-coupled discs (36) are made of relatively rigid 
plastic material, and are mechanically coupled by a set of tab-­
like projections (38) on each disc surface, which engage matching 
recesses in adjacent discs (36). Alternatively, adjacent 
discs (36) are made of a soft material with a high friction 
coefficient and are rotationally coupled by friction between 
them. The arched configuration of the hair-plucking element (30) 
provides spaces (42) between adjacent discs (36) on a convex 
side, and hair trapped in these spaces (42) is plucked when they 
close upon rotation of the hair-plucking element (30) toward its 
concave side.

Title: Joint prosthesis, particularly for the knee
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 1992-06-16
Abstract: The joint prosthesis comprises a first prosthetic part (11), an intermediate part (13), a coupling member (15) and a second prosthetic part (17). The first prosthetic part comprises means for anchorage in the bone, e.g. in the femur, and two condyles (19). These condyles (19) articulate with the bearing surfaces (21) of the intermediate part (13). The second prosthetic part (17) possesses a sliding surface (24) and means (25, 27) for anchorage in the bone, e.g., in the tibia. A bore (31) receives a pivot (33) of the coupling member (15). The coupling member (15) possesses a guide part (16) which cooperates with the guide track (35). The movement sequence of the joint prosthesis corresponds largely to the physiological movement sequence of the natural joint. The condyles (19) and the bearing surfaces (21) are used for the articulation movement. The translation movement, e.g. from anterior to posterior, is brought about by the displacement of the intermediate part (13) on the sliding surface (24) due to the coupling member. The pivot (33) permits rotation about the axis (39). <IMAGE>

Title: Adaptive compression of digital video data.
Inventor: WU ALLEN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1994-03-10
Abstract: Digital video signals are adaptively compressed for communication to a receiver. Superblocks (230), each containing a plurality of blocks (232) of digital video data, are compressed using PCM, DPCM with a general motion vector for the entire superblock, and DPCM with a specific motion vector for each block contained within a superblock. The result of each compression mode is compared (58) after accounting for overhead data, to determine which results in the least amount of data for each block (232). These blocks are assembled into a superblock (230), and compared (80) together with necessary overhead and motion vector data to the same superblock processed using all PCM as well as the superblock processed using all DPCM. The comparison determines which compression mode produces the least amount of data for the superblock. The most compact superblock is selected for transmission. The transmitted superblocks are decoded by a decoder (Fig. 5) that recovers the necessary motion vectors and overhead information which identifies the type of compression used to provide the superblock. <IMAGE>

Title: Folded package.
IPC: B65D75/14
Filed: 1994-10-14
Abstract: The subject-matter of the invention is a folded package (1) preferably for sheet-like articles which are stacked congruently one above the other and are approximately sector-shaped in contour, for example filter paper inserts (4) for coffee machines or teamakers. The object of the invention is to provide a folded package (1) which can be produced inexpensively, is convenient to open up for removal of all the articles and can also be completely closed again. This is achieved in that the folded package (1) is produced from an integral, essentially square blank of paper or a similar, dimensionally stable, foldable material, which blank is folded in from two mutually opposite corners, extending in the manner of a wrapping around the stack of articles to be packaged. The folding-in takes place in such a way that a pocket (5) which envelopes the stack of articles on all sides is formed on one wrapping side and a lid flap (8) is formed on the opposite side, which lid flap can be fixed in relation to the pocket (5) by means of a reusable closure device (10). The lid flap (8) is stabilised by the connection of individual folding layers (9) in such a way that the lid flap (8) automatically assumes its original shape when closed again. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1992-05-15
Abstract: An apparatus for translating a mass flow meter signal is connected to a mass flow meter of a mass flow controller and to a host process control system and includes a microcontroller which receives flow controller command calibration signal data from a calibration signal to which it may be temporarily connected. The microcontroller also includes a routine for storing the flow controller command calibration signal data in a nonvolatile or EPROM memory. An analog to digital converter of the microcontroller receives a linear flow controller analog command signal from a process host controller. In response thereto the microcontroller produces an analog mass flow rate command correction signal which is responsive to the stored flow controller command calibration signal data. The analog mass flow rate command correction signal is added to the command signal to produce a translated or corrected mass flow rate command signal. The amplifier supplies the corrected flow command signal to the mass flow controller. <IMAGE>
