Title: A method and apparatus for effecting dorsal vein ligation.
Inventor: AVANT ODIS L
IPC: A61B17/115
Filed: 1991-09-09
Abstract: A ligator assembly comprising a hollow, two-piece, bullet-shaped case dimensioned to be inserted in and through a body member, a pair of suture needles carried by the case, and a suture affixed to the needles. The case is provided with a pair of guide tubes for retaining the needles and guiding them out through a substantially transverse slot at the end of the case. A drive mechanism is also provided for remotely driving the needles longitudinally out of the case through the slot. The case is selectively connectable to an elongated tubular operator for placement of the ligator assembly. Apparatus for effecting an anastomosis comprises female and male connector components usable with an operator, an inflatable anvil assembly, and a connector actuator and which include mutually facing clamping surfaces for clamping generally annular tissue portions of the first and second body members together. The female connector component includes a plurality of resilient legs having bores extending therethrough. The legs are movable between a retracted position when the inflatable anvil is contracted and a distended position when the anvil is expanded. The male connector component is received by the connector actuator and includes a plurality of posts for piercing the annular tissue portions in response to actuation of the connector actuator and for matingly engaging the bores in the female connector component when the legs are in the distended position.

Abstract: L'appareil comprend deux capteurs du type thermique (11a, 11b) en matériaux résistant sans altération à une température de 650 °C. Des sondes (15a, 15b) sont commandées par un microprocesseur (16), pour venir périodiquement et momentanément en contact avec ces capteurs, afin de calculer (par le microprocesseur (16)) la constante de temps thermique de ces capteurs présentant une couche de dépôt de produits de pollution de l'ambiance. Le microprocesseur (16) compare la valeur de cette constante de temps avec une valeur de consigne et commande la fermeture d'un interrupteur de shuntage (17) d'une résistance (18) qui, lorsqu'elle est court-circuitée, détermine un chauffage renforcé de ces capteurs les portant à une température d'incinération des matières organiques provenant de la pollution du milieu ambiant et déposées sur ces capteurs. Ainsi, les capteurs sont maintenus dans les conditions de propreté de leur surface assurant l'exactitude des informations fournies par ces capteurs en dehors des périodes de nettoyage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preventing wrongly directed flows out of a rainwater channel (2) from being introduced into a receiving channel. The process is characterised in that the wrongly directed flows out of the rainwater channel (2) are transferred into a waste-water channel (4). The wrongly directed flows thus do not pass into the receiving channel but are transferred to the waste-water channel (4) connected to the sewage-treatment installation. An installation for carrying out the process has a rainwater channel (2) and a waste-water channel (4) and, furthermore, a connecting line (5) therebetween having a flow slope towards the waste-water channel. A sill (18) for channelling liquid away into the connecting line is arranged in the rainwater channel, and a regulator (20) regulates the throughflow through the connecting line (5). When the water in the rainwater channel (2) exceeds a defined level, the regulator (20) blocks off said channel towards the waste-water channel (4) and opens it again when the water falls below said level. Instead of a regulator (20) a pump (34) may also be provided which conveys the liquid from the rainwater channel (2) to the waste-water channel (4).   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Wire-type machine for electron discharge machining, without a machining tank and without a work table and with a fixed workpiece. The two machining heads guiding the electrode wire and injecting machining (cutting) liquid between the electrodes are mounted on two systems with totally independent crossed movements located on either side of the machining plane. It has a baseplate delimiting a chamber which is open on one face, forming a shape like a U, a crosspiece fixed to this baseplate and carrying these two systems with crossed movements, posts fixed directly to this baseplate receiving the clamping system for the workpiece, and a collector for the used dielectric liquid and electrode wire located under this clamping system, at the feet of the elements of the baseplate. The volume extending into the baseplate from the lower machining head up to the collector is clear of any obstacle. The systems with crossed movements may thus offset the relative positions of the machining heads to a great enough extent for the wire to be inclined at an angle greater than or equal to 30 DEG . A booth may be fitted around the baseplate and, if necessary, around the pallet on which all the equipment of the machine is fixed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A drill pin guide (10) and method is disclosed for the fixation of bone fractures. A surgeon first inserts a small orthopedic pin (203) through a bone fragment into the underlying bone mass to stabilize the fracture. Next a drill guide (10) is placed over a portion of the pin protruding from the bone and is used to position a drill bit for drilling a small hole (208) parallel to the inserted pin. After removing the drill pin guide a surgical screw is inserted into the drilled hole. By properly adjusting the distance between pin and screw, the surgeon may create an interference fit between the two thus preventing either from unintentionally loosening.

Abstract: A bias voltage generation circuit comprises a bias voltage generation portion (BVG) having a bias control node (N₁), a first switching unit (T₁), and a second switching unit (MT, MTP). The bias voltage generation portion (BVG) is used to generate a bias voltage (Vcs) of a predetermined potential and supply the bias voltage (Vcs) to an ECL circuit during an operation period (t₀), and the first switching unit (T₁) is used to drop the bias voltage (Vcs) during a standby period (t₁) in response to a bias voltage control signal (PS). The second switching unit (MT, MTP) is used to switch OFF during the standby period (t₁) to cut off a current flow through the bias control node (N₁) and switch ON during the operation period (t₀) to supply a current through the bias control node (N₁) in response to the bias voltage control signal (PS). Consequently, current flow during the standby period (t₁) can be reduced, and power consumption of the bias voltage generation circuit during the standby period (t₁) is minimal.
