Abstract: A medical fastening system for a modular knee prosthesis includes a femoral component
having an aperture. A washer having an aperture alignable with at least a portion of the
aperture in the femoral component engages the femoral component to inhibit movement of the
washer through the aperture in the femoral component. A bolt engages the washer and an
elongate shaft portion of the bolt protrudes from the femoral component through the aperture in
the washer and the aperture in the femoral component to engage a Morse taper post or femoral
stem. The configuration of the washer aperture, its location in the washer, and the orientation
of the washer within the femoral component determine the fore and aft positioning of the Morse
taper post or femoral stem. The Morse taper post or femoral stem can be provided with a
canted base to angle the post or stem with respect to the femoral component.

Abstract: A DVD player that integrates a DVD device into a personal computer is
provided. As such, the personal computer is able to output audio-visual works from a DVD
CD-ROM. When integrating a DVD device with a personal computer, various problems
must be overcome. For example, in a personal computer, the video display is controlled by a
graphics controller, and in order to render an audio-visual stream in a personal computer, the
audio-visual stream and the graphics controller must be synchronized. The synchronization
problem arises because the graphics controller only displays data at the beginning of
33.4 millisecond time intervals. Thus, although the audio portion may be played almost
immediately, the video portion may have to wait for up to 33.4 milliseconds before being
displayed. In this manner, the audio portion and the video portion become unsynchronized
which means that the audio portion plays before the corresponding video portion is displayed.
The DVD player solves this problem by synchronizing the start of the audio-visual stream
with the graphics controller so that the time at which a video sequence is displayed coincides
with one of the graphics controller's 33.4 millisecond time intervals.

Abstract: An adaptive system and method for reducing interference in a signal received from an array of sensors. Adaptive filters are used to generate cancelling signals that closely approximate the interference present in the received signal. The adaptive filter weights are converted into the frequency domain where the frequency representation values in a selected frequency range are truncated to avoid signal leakage involving narrow band signals. Deodorizing filters are used to produce the cancelling signals having a flat frequency spectrum. Normalized power difference is used limit the operation of the adaptive filters to the case where there is some directional interference to be eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the need to improve the yields of viral vectors when grown in cell culture systems. In particular, it has been demonstrated that for adenovirus, the use of low-medium perfusion rates in an attached cell culture system provides for improved yields. In other embodiments, the inventors have shown that there is improved Ad-p53 production with cells grown in serum-free conditions, and in particular in serum-free suspension culture. Also important to the increase of yields is the use of detergent lysis. Combination of these aspects of the invention permits purification of virus by a single chromatography step that results in purified virus of the same quality as preparations from double CsC1 banding using an ultracentrifuge.

Abstract: A printer enabling smooth loading of roll paper and cut-sheet forms with a simple operation is
disclosed. A print head (6) is disposed in a transportation path for transporting a cut-sheet form.
A guide frame (17) with a guide member (17a) projecting into the transportation path from the
print head (6) is disposed on the cut-sheet form insertion opening side of the print head (6). A
platen unit (16) with a platen (33) is mounted to rotate freely, and a frame member (30) is
disposed on the platen unit (16). When the platen unit (16) is closed, the guide member (17a) of
the guide frame (17) and a guide member (30b) of the frame member (30) touch each other,
thus forming an ejection path guiding the roll paper (S) away from the junction with the cut-sheet
transportation path. When the platen unit (16) is opened, the guide member (17a) of guide
frame (17) and the guide member (30b) of frame member (30) separate, thereby enabling cut-sheet
form insertion.

IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: A zigzag waveguide device (31) is described that includes at least two
optical waveguides (32, 34) converged at a vertex to form a waveguide
overlap region (33). Optical loss in the waveguide overlap region (33) is
minimized by including a narrow gap of lower refractive index between the
overlap region (33) and each waveguide (31, 32). This technique is also
applied to minimize loss in a region (63) where two optical waveguides (61,
62) cross one another. A mirror (36) or optical filter (127a,-127d)
reflectively couples the two waveguides (32, 34) at the vertex (33). When the
coupling is provided by an optical filter (127a-127d), some range of
wavelengths is transmitted out of the zigzag waveguide device (31), rather
than reflected. The transmitted light may be collected by an output
waveguide (126a-126d) which is wider than the waveguides (32, 34) to
minimize loss due to divergence. Light exiting the device (31) may be
coupled directly to a photodetector (141) with no intervening optical fiber. In
addition, the width of an input waveguide (48) of the zigzag waveguide
device is tapered to reduce angular spread of the light in the zigzag device
(31).
