Patent EP-0595291-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAYLOR RUSSELL HIGHSMITH
IPC: B25J9/10
Filed: 1993-10-27
Abstract: An apparatus used to assist a surgeon in surgery is divided into two parts, proximal and distal. The apparatus has a number of rigid links (1 - 4) which rotate about pivots (A - L) to position and re-position an instrument (11), like a surgical instrument, at a work point (Cmot) proximal to a patient but remote from the apparatus. The links cooperate in a way to move the manipulator about a center-of-motion (Cmot) with orthogonally decoupled degrees of freedom resolved at the work point. 
     The proximal part (26) of the apparatus is adjustably fixed to a stationary object, like an operating table (22), while the distal part (25) of the apparatus holds the instrument (11). Certain links which can be adjusted in length, move the distal part with respect to the proximal part of the apparatus. In this manner, the work point of the manipulator and the working radius of the apparatus are changed without moving the proximal part. Actuators, manual or remotely (computer) controlled, both rotate the links about their pivots and adjust the length of the adjustable links. All the actuators can be mounted on the proximal part of the apparatus and electrically isolated from the manipulator in order to reduce the shock hazard to the patient.

Abstract: A timing variator is disclosed which is constructed to provide at least three predetermined different relative angular settings of the camshaft and the timing system of an internal combustion engine; the variator comprises a piston actuator slidable inside a space against a spring as a pressurized fluid is delivered into a supply chamber thereof. When the piston is to be stopped at a position intermediate to two end-of-stroke positions, in order to obtain an intermediate timing setting, pressurized fluid is delivered behind the piston, thereby producing an additional thrust concurrent with the spring thrust and partly balancing out the pressure of the medium being delivered into the supply chamber.

Abstract: A support stay (16) for use with an article to be worn by a person has two durometers of hardness. The support stay includes a base member (16a) having a first hardness, the first hardness sufficient to provide a required rigidity for support. A gripping member (16b) is operatively connected to the base member and has attachment areas which extend beyond the ends of the base member. The gripping member has a second hardness which is softer than the first hardness. The gripping member, when attached to the inner surface of the article by attachment areas, provides a non-slip surface against the person wearing the article to keep the article in position.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, an image is formed by applying a local magnetic field to selected regions of a magnetic composite medium (10) comprising columns (11) of magnetic particles distributed in a matrix medium. The particles are "hard" or "semi-hard" magnetic materials in order to retain the latent image (13) as residual magnetism, and the image is developed by exposure to magnetic fluid or powders (15). The image can be erased by exposure to an AC demagnetizing field or a DC sweep magnet. Preferred apparatus for making such images comprises a sheet of such composite material having a pair of major surfaces with columns (11) of magnetic particles oriented between the surfaces. A local magnetic field, such as a magnetic pen (14), can be used to write a latent magnetic image (13) on one of the major surfaces. The magnetic columns present the latent image for development at either major surface. In preferred apparatus, one major surface is adapted for magnetic image writing and the other major surface is positioned in sealed relationship with a chamber for exposing the image to magnetic development material. In this arrangement the columns (11) provide a high resolution image on the second surface despite the thickness of the medium between the write and development surfaces.

Abstract: In this invention, a semiconductor device designed for use as an optical amplifier is provided with three sections; an input section (14), a middle section (12) and an output section (16). A continuous optical waveguide extends through the input section, the middle section and the output section and the three sections are electrically isolated from each other. More specifically, a semiconductor laser amplifier is electrically split into three separate sections by implanting ions of, for example, hydrogen, helium or fluorine into the areas (18, 20) of the semiconductor amplifier which are between the middle section and the two end sections. The ion implantation provides a high degree of electrical isolation between the various sections, but it does not alter the continuity of the optical waveguide which passes through the three sections. In operation, each section is coupled to a bias source (I dc ) to forward bias the device, and the ratio of the voltages on the two end sections (14, 16) induced by the optical signal is proportional to the gain of the semiconductor amplifier.

Abstract: Molten steel is continuously teemed into a casting passage to establish a bath of molten steel in the passage. The molten steel is partially solidified in the casting passage to form a strand having a plurality of bulges which are uniformly distributed circumferentially of the strand. The strand is continuously withdrawn from the casting passage and the bulges are deformed during strand withdrawal so as to reduce bulge size. The amount of deformation is regulated by varying the bath level as a function of one or more casting parameters.

Abstract: Les mémoires de transistors de passe dans un réseau de mémoire à accès sélectif sont activées uniquement lors d'une sélection coïncidente (simultanée) de la rangée associée et de la colonne associée de la cellule de mémoire; autrement, l'activation des transistors de passe est empêchée. Ainsi, lorsqu'une ligne de mots est sélectionnée, seuls les transistors de passe dans la cellule de mémoire correspondants à une ligne de bits sélectionnée simultanément sont actifs, et non toutes les paires de transistors de passe connectées à la ligne de mots. La consommation d'énergie transitoire lors de la sélection et désélection de la ligne de mots est ainsi réduite. L'activation de transistors de passe coïncidents peut être effectuée en utilisant une ligne de sélection de colonne pour chaque colonnne du réseau de mémoire, et des moyens de porte dans chaque cellule qui activent électriquement les transistors de passe associés uniquement lors de la sélection simultanée de la ligne de sélection de colonne associée et de la ligne de mots associée, et pour empêcher l'activation des transistors de passe associés dans d'autres circonstances. Lorsque les lignes de sélection de colonne et les moyens de porte sont utilisés, des lignes de bits partagées peuvent être prévues dans le réseau. Une seule ligne de bits partagée peut être utilisée entre des colonnes adjacentes de cellules puisque seule l'une des colonnes est sélectionnée par la ligne de sélection de colonnes. On obtient ainsi une réalisation de mémoire à haute densité.
