Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling communication for a communication system for connecting a plurality of electronic apparatuses through a communication control bus and allowing data communication between those electronic apparatuses wherein each of the electronic apparatuses performs connection control through the execution of a connection control command carried out by writing connection control information in a predetermined storage means of its own or another electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatuses which attempt to write the connection control information transmit the write instructions in a predetermined storage means. The storage means which has received the write instructions executes only the earliest write instruction and transmits responses indicating whether the execution of respective write instructions is successful or not.

Abstract: A clip applier and method for ligating a tissue structure is provided. The applier has a two stage actuation. In the first stage, a tissue structure is positioned into the jaws of the clip applier The jaws close and lock to a preset force to compress and temporarily occlude the tissue structure. If satisfactorily positioned, the second stage is initiated in which a clip is advanced through the shaft of the clip applier in a closed position. At the distal end of the clip applier, the clip is opened slightly to capture the pre-compressed tissue structure, and is placed over the structure. The clip is then dissociated from the business end of the instrument. Preferably the clip comprises two leg members disposed in close proximity to one another joined from opposing directions by a connecting element. The connecting element restricts separation of the leg members with opposing spring members so as to provide substantially uniform parallel deflection of the leg members from each other.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for Video-on-demand (VOD) satisfying the desire of 'surfers'. The process entails a server operating in a standard Near-Video-on-demand (NVOD) mode, whereby it repeatedly transmits multiple copies of each program on separate channels. Each copy is delayed by a staggered time interval. The server also repeatedly transmits a beginning portion of each NVOD program of a duration up to the staggered time interval. The invention provides a way to fulfill a VOD user requests asynchronous with the start of a NVOD transmission but which still makes primary use of the NVOD transmission for that requestor. The invention further advantageously provides fixed asset utilization in a predictable manner.

Abstract: As adhesive films are used over first down half-tone images, air can be entrapped between the dots on the first down image and the after applied adhesive film (e.g., with the next down image layer). The presence of the air as bubbles between the dots creates additional areas of reflection and refraction at air/film interfaces. The use of thin layers of adhesive with the properties according to the present invention has surprisingly been found to prevent or reduce formation of bubbles and thereby maintain the critical optical properties necessary in a proofing material.

Abstract: In the production of rotor grooves, between the usual undercut-free opening of the groove with a disk milling cutter and profile milling by means of a high speed, high performance steel profile shaft milling cutter, a preliminary fine cutting operation is inserted, in which the profile form is premachined with a profile shaft milling cutter equipped with indexable cutting bits. The profile shaft milling cutter used for the purpose has a greater number of cutting surfaces at its tooth tips than at its tooth flanks. The cutting surfaces defined by overlapping, in circumferential direction, of the cutting edges of the indexable cutting bits are interrupted, so that substantially flat and hardly stiff chips are produced.

Abstract: The flexible insulated heater includes a heater mat surrounded by an insulation jacket. The heater mat is preferably made of two layers of fiberglass reinforced rubber sheets laminated together with resistive heater wires sandwiched between the laminated sheets. The heater mat is formed with a curvature and size to fit snugly around the peripheral surface of the pipe that is to be heated. A jacket of thermally insulative material, such as a polymer foam, is molded over the external surface of the heater mat. The insulated jacket holds the heat generated by the heater mat from escaping radially outward, and it protects against burns to persons who might touch the heater. The mat and the jacket are configured so that the heater has interfacing opposite edges and that meet and preferably touch each other when the heater is mounted on the pipe, but the combination of the mat and jacket have sufficient resilient flexibility to allow opening the heater by separating the edges enough to slip the heater over the pipe, whereupon the heater resumes its original inherent cylindrical shape when released. Snaps, Velcro TM  fastening material straps, or other suitable fasteners can be used to secure the heaters snugly around the pipe, if desired, although the biased resilience of the heater to its formed shape is generally sufficient itself to hold the heater in place. A power cord, control cavity, and an optional overmold provide electric power to the heating wires or elements in the heating mat. A system of flexible insulated heaters can be daisy-chained or ganged together to heat and insulate a network of pipes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for determining the dip angle and horizontal and vertical conductivities of a wellbore during drilling operations. If the dip angle is not known, the present invention allows for the use of multifrequency measurements and a model which maps dielectric permitivities to conductivities to calculate the horizontal conductivity, the vertical conductivity, the horizontal dielectric permitivity, the dielectric permitivity, and the dip angle. If the dip angle is known, the present invention allows a multifrequency tool to be utilized alone to calculate the horizontal conductivity, the vertical conductivity, the horizontal dielectric permitivity, and the vertical dielectric permitivity. If the dip angle is not known, a single frequency resistivity tool (as opposed to a multifrequency tool) can be utilized in combination with a model which maps dielectric permitivities to conductivities to calculate the horizontal conductivity and the horizontal dielectric permitivity.

Abstract: In a document managing apparatus for forming a compressed document file where a keyword retrieval is available, a first process operation and a second process operation are alternately executed. In the first process operation, when document data to be compressed is given, the respective characters are directly written into a compressed document file until an end control character string appears in this document data. In the second process operation, data obtained by coding the respective characters are written into the compressed document file until a start control character series appears in the document data. Also, in this document managing apparatus, a third process operation and a fourth process operation are alternately performed, when the compressed document file is restored. In the third process operation, the respective data (characters) are directly outputted until the end control character string appears in the data contained in the compressed document file. In the fourth process operation, the decoding operation is carried out until the start control character string appears in the restored result of the data contained in the compressed document file.
