Abstract: A public transit vehicle (10) has a vehicle body having a roof (13) defining an
interior ceiling surface, two side walls each extending longitudinally of the vehicle
including an upper side wall portion connecting to the roof (13) and a row of windows (23)
underneath the upper portion, a central aisle (22) and two rows of seats (15,21) each on a
respective side of the aisle (22) and along the side wall at the windows (23) and a lighting
fixture (26) supported in the vehicle along the ceiling surface longitudinally of the vehicle (10)
at a position above each row of seats (15,21). Below the lighting fixture is provided an
elongate advertising card support panel member (61) for receiving and supporting an
advertising card. The housing is substantially continuous along the vehicle and
supports a plurality of fluorescent tubes (37) mounted in the light housing (26). Between each
tube (37) and the next is provided a web member (36A) having an inner surface matching that
of the housing and an outer surface butting edges of the individual lens/covers
mounted on the light housing (26). The card support panel (61) member carries adjacent the
bottom receptacle thereof an elongate pressure switch strip (74) operable at any point
along its length for signalling the driver. The reflector (27) is mainly parabolic with a V-shaped
center section acting as a beam splitter and a support for a ground wire. The
lens includes two upstanding fins (101,102) each on a respective side of the tube (37) and each
carrying a reflective layer to restrict light from passing toward the aisle (22) and the
windows (23).

Abstract: The invention generally pertains to a medical instrument. One aspect of the
invention relates to an improved ablation arrangement. The ablation arrangement
includes a transmission line suitable for the transmission of electromagnetic energy and
an antenna coupled to the transmission line. The ablation arrangement further includes a
reflector that cooperates with the antenna to produce a directional electromagnetic field
that is sufficiently strong to cause tissue ablation. The reflector is positioned laterally to a
first side of the antenna and configured for redirecting a portion of the electromagnetic
field to a second side of the antenna opposite the reflector, wherein a majority of the
electromagnetic field is directed away from the second side of the antenna. Another
aspect of the invention relates to an improved electrode arrangement. The electrode
arrangement includes a pair of spaced apart and electrically isolated elongated wire
electrodes positioned adjacent one another on a carrier member. The wire electrodes are
arranged for sensing electrical activity of biological tissues inside the body of the patient.
The electrode arrangement also includes a pair of electrically isolated electrode wires
that extend through the carrier member. Each of the electrode wires are electrically
coupled to an associated wire electrode. The invention is particularly useful in catheters
and surgical devices.

Abstract: In a second lens array 130A of an illumination optical system
according to the present invention, the position of curved faces of third
minute lenses 132Ab is displaced from the position of curved faces of
second minute lenses 132Aa. Such displacement makes the size of a
first region W1 on an illuminating area LA, which is irradiated with light
transmitted by polarizing separation films 142, substantially equal to
the size of a second region W2 on the illuminating area LA, which is
irradiated with light reflected by the polarizing separation films 142 and
reflection films 144. This arrangement effectively prevents the
significant reduction of the illuminating efficiency occurring in a prior
art illumination optical system that utilizes a polarization conversion
optical system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des condensateurs électrolytiques plats, utiles notamment dans des dispositifs médicaux implantables, et des procédés de fabrication de ces condensateurs. Les condensateurs comportent un ensemble empilement d'électrodes comprenant une pluralité de couches de condensateur empilées. Chacune de ces couches contient un sous-ensemble anode comportant au moins une couche d'anode, une couche de cathode et des couches de séparation ; les couches d'anode et de cathode ont des dimensions différentes qui permettent d'éviter les courts-circuits entre bords périphériques de couches adjacentes d'anode et de cathode, mais maximisent la surface d'électrode anode. Le condensateur électrolytique est constitué de : un boîtier de condensateur définissant une chambre intérieure de boîtier et une périphérie de chambre ; un ensemble empilement d'électrodes comprenant une pluralité de couches de condensateur empilées pourvues de languettes d'anode et de cathode, placé dans la chambre intérieure ; un ensemble connecteur électrique servant à fournir une connexion électrique aux languettes d'anode et de cathode à travers le boîtier ; un couvercle ; et un électrolyte remplissant l'espace restant de la chambre intérieure. La pluralité de couches de condensateur et les couches de séparation sont empilées de manière à former l'ensemble empilement d'électrodes, et placées dans la chambre intérieure, de sorte que les couches adjacentes d'anode et de cathode sont isolées électriquement l'une de l'autre. Les bords périphériques de couches d'anode des sous-ensembles anode des couches de condensateur empilées sont plus proches de la paroi latérale du boîtier que les bords périphériques de cathode des couches de cathode de l'empilement de couches de condensateur, et ce dans une majeure partie de la périphérie de la chambre de boîtier. Les bords périphériques des couches de séparation s'étendent jusqu'à la périphérie du boîtier et espacent les bords périphériques de couches d'anode de celle-ci. Les barbes, débris ou distorsions de n'importe quel bord périphérique de couche d'anode qui provoquent une extension effective des bords de couche d'anode dans le sens de la hauteur de l'empilement d'électrodes, font que les bords périphériques de couche d'anode présentant une telle prédisposition touchent une couche d'anode adjacente. De cette manière, on maximise la surface de couche d'anode et on évite tout court-circuit entre couches d'anode et couches de cathode. Un revêtement de boîtier peut aussi envelopper la périphérie de l'ensemble empilement d'électrodes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de compteur en code Gray (AP1) pour un FIFO. Ce système comprend un pointeur de lecture (10), un pointeur d'écriture (20) et un détecteur (30). Le pointeur de lecture comprend un décodeur de code Gray (11), un incrémenteur binaire (12), un codeur de code Gray (13) et un registre (14) dans lesquels sont stockés les comptages des pointeurs). Cet incrémenteur binaire incrémente de1 sauf lorsque l'entrée est égale à 0110 ( à valeur décimale 6) ou 1110 (à valeur décimale 14). Dans ces cas, il incrémente de 3. Le résultat est une séquence en code Gray à 4 bits modulo-12 avec les douze valeurs de code gray réparties parmi les seize valeurs de code gray à 4 bits possibles, avec une symétrie bilatérale de translation et réflective. Le pointeur d'écriture est semblable. En raison de la symétrie de translation, les détecteurs qui fonctionnent avec des compteurs à comptage modul, programmables en puissance de deux, fonctionnent avec les indications correspondantes d'un compteur non programmable en puissance de deux pour fournir des inditions de  </= pleins  >/=  et  </=  vides  >/= . Lorsque les comptages d'écriture et lecture  varient au niveau des positions des deux bits les plus significatifs, mais sont égaux au positions binaires restantes, le détecteur fournit une indication  </=  totale  >/=  pour un FIFO à 6 comptages. Le compteur en code Gray peut être réduit à l'échelle d'un comptage modulo non programmé en puissance de deux, divisible par quatre.
