Abstract: A diode-pumped solid-state laser for single mode operation contains a resonator (R) with an input (3) and an output (7) mirror between which an active laser medium (4), a polariser (5) and a double refraction crystal (6) are arranged. The optical axes (Ea, Eo) of the crystal are arranged so that they form an angle of 45° in relation to the direction of polarisation (EL) produced by the polariser (5). The losses for the ordinary and extraordinary beam are set to about the same value. With the aid of a temperature control the temperature of the double refraction crystal (6) is kept at a constant value so that neither the refractive indices nor the length of the crystal change.

Abstract: This method can be used to produce dental prosthesis parts, such as inlays, onlays or crowns with high fitting accuracy and at low cost during only one visit of a patient to the dentist. For this purpose, a curable material is used for the preparation of the impression (proinlay) of the dental cavity. After curing, the material is removed. During a first processing stage, coarse scanning of the proinlay (4) by a first sensor (7a) and coarse processing of a substrate body (6) by means of a first processing tool (30a) are carried out. During a second processing stage, fine scanning and fine processing by means of a second sensor (7b) and a second processing tool (30b) are carried out. During this, the sensors (7a, 7b) and the processing tools (30a, 30b) are located on a common linear table (13). The proinlay (4) and the substrate body (6) are fixed to receiving parts (3, 5) of a rotation synchronisation device (10) arranged on a displacement device and a lifting device (11, 12). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An arrhythmia detector includes a delta modulator which digitizes the ECG signal and produces a serial digital signal that represents the input ECG signal. A microprocessor classifies the signal as having no slope, positive slope, or negative slope. A finite state machine model in the microprocessor uses the positive slope, negative slope, or no slope information to determine the number of times an isoelectric line segment is present in the ECG signal. By accumulating the line-counts or number of line segments over a two-second period, a determination can be made whether the ECG signal has been in isoelectric line less than a threshold. For two out of three 2 second periods, if the percentage of isoelectric time is less than the ventricular fibrillation threshold then a ventricular fibrillation signal can be generated. For ventricular tachycardia verses supraventricular tachycardia discrimination, a second threshold which relates to the average heart rate observed in a linear formula LC(TH) = b - a*(rate)/30 can be used. If the isoelectric line-count is less than the LC(TH), then VT is declared. The regression coefficient a and b can be found by measuring the line-count and rate pairs in 2 second periods during normal sinus rhythm in periodic basis, for example, 10 data pairs every hour. The delta modulator uses a comparator which receives the ECG signal and a tracking signal to output a series of binary digits. A digital-to-analog converter generates the tracking signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The flushing cistern (1) has a push-button (4) which, in a front region, is designed in a stepped manner and, likewise in the front region, projects with respect to an inclined upper side (3a) of the cover (3). As a result of the stepped design, the force introduction is similar to that in a flushing cistern having a horizontal cover upper side. The force to be exerted on the push-button (4) acts essentially vertically downwards, this being advantageous in terms of ergonomics. The stepped upper side of the push-button (4) has, in addition, the advantage that actuation is essentially more obvious for the user than that in a flushing cistern having a planar and flush push-button. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un processus de fonctionnement amélioré d'un système d'analyse de couleurs possédant au moins une zone photosensible qui est exposée, de façon séquentielle, aux couleurs individuelles d'une scène et à une exploration par déplacement spectrale de la scène par rapport à la zone photosensible du capteur d'image. L'invention concerne également un masque amélioré de filtrage des couleurs destiné à la zone photosensible. Le masque de filtrage pour le bleu est formé sur une partie de la zone photosensible, par exemple une partie en L, qui couvre approximativement 25 % de la zone photosensible. Le processus de fonctionnement consiste à, tout d'abord, former une image d'une version rouge filtrée de la scène et à la transférer, après exploration, sur la zone photosensible pour générer un signal d'image rouge. Ensuite, une image d'une version verte filtrée de la scène est forméé et transférée, apres exploration, sur la zone photosensible pour générer un signal d'image verte. Enfin, une image d'une version bleue filtrée de la scène est formée sur la zone photosensible, sans exploration par déplacement, pour générer un signal d'image bleue. La zone photosensible génère un signal électrique à partir de toute sa surface, selon ce processus, car la matière de masquage pour le bleu laisse passer l'image bleue.

Abstract: A balloon dilatation catheter which has a coiled supporting element (17) disposed within a guidewire receiving inner lumen (11) extending within the interior of the balloon (16). Substantially, lower profiles can be obtained with catheters of this type, particularly with perfusion-type dilatation catheters with little chance that the inner member will collapse when the balloon is inflated to high pressures. Additionally, the coiled supporting element (17) provides much smoother transitions at the ends of the balloon and thereby improves the trackability of the catheter over the guidewire.

Abstract: An elevationally adjustable folding stage (100) has a frame (102) which folds along a center of the stage (100) from a storage position to a use position. Stage panels (104, 106) of interchangeable widths form a stage surface and are reversible and interchangeable. The stage (100) may also support additional panels between stages (100) extending therefrom to form an extended stage surface. The stage (100) has a roller assembly (118) which lifts the stage (100) up so that rollers (120) engage the floor for rolling between storage and use locations. Connectors (135) between the frame (102) and the stage (104, 106) offer quick connection without additional pieces. Connectors (135) also provide for inserting risers to raise the height of one panel (104, 106) of the stage (100) relative to the other. In addition to the risers, multipanel supporting bases may be used to support the panels extending from the edges of the stage between stages. The panels between the stages may be stored on the stage (100) while in the use or folded position by hook members (172, 174) which rotate from a storage to a use position to retain the additional panels. Folding of the stage (100) is assisted by a spring folding assist member which prevents closing of the stage (100) and assists in the initial opening of the stage (100) toward the folded position. Accidental folding of the stage (100) is also prevented by a locking linkage (155) and a spacing linkage (192) which lock the stage (100) in the use position to prevent accidental folding and also to maintain the stage (100) in the use position when elevationally adjusting the stage panels (104, 106).

Abstract: If line transformers (10) have a separate DC feed for stabilising the G-2 voltage, it is usual to arrange the control arrangement for setting at least the G-2 voltage separately and remote from the coil housing. The feedline between the coil winding and the separate housing functions by means of a high-tension feedline. This structure is extremely elaborate since high-tension-resistant terminals must be constructed for the separate high-tension feedline. To simplify the arrangement, it is specified to connect the adjuster arrangement to the G-2 voltage directly to the housing in which the coil windings are arranged, even in cases in which the control arrangement has a separate DC feedline. Contacting in the area of the high tension is then particularly simple if this contacting occurs at the same time as insulating-material housing (11) and housing (12) are connected. <IMAGE>
