Abstract: The invention describes how a distributor offers to a content provider facilities to offer, transmit and provide streaming media to an end consumer. The distributor provides the facility of caching the transmitted material, at which the distributor attends to that the end consumer receives the material adapted to the wishes and needs of the end consumer. Distribution of streaming media in an IP-network is made according to an agreed policy between content provider and distributor, at which the by the content provider by IP-multicast transmitted media is cached in a cache system before forwarding to end consumer. The caching is controlled by the policy that has been drawn up between the content provider and the distributor. The invention aims at removing problems of insufficient bandwidth in the IP-network between content provider and the end consumer by a procedure according to which streaming media is cached in a cache system according to a defined policy, after which said streaming media is forwarded to, and at request of him/her, an end consumer. After an initial transmission from the content provider by IP-multicast, said streaming media can be transmitted to a plurality of cache systems, including a plurality of media caches, without the load on the network becoming absurdly high. An end consumer after that can have said media forwarded from the media cache that is closest to his/her user terminal in the network. In addition, the end consumer can request a media quality that is adapted to the bandwidth that exists between said media cache and the user terminal.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a device for the coupling of surgical instruments and/or implants such as a drive shaft and a reamer head. The device comprises a longitudinal male connector, and a hollow coupling shank having a first bore extending therethrough for receiving the male connector. The lateral portion of the male connector includes a plurality of flat surfaces, and the first bore shank includes a plurality of wall surfaces corresponding to the flat surfaces, so that the male connector can be inserted into the first bore to form a connection which is resistant to twisting about the longitudinal axis. The male connector defines a second bore extending coaxially therethrough and includes at least one radial slot, and defining a radially elastic, compressible holding element extending from the distal end. The male connector includes at least one radially protruding latch finger; and the first bore includes at least one latch finger recess to engage the latch finger so that the male connector can be axially fixed with respect to the shank. The latch finger and recess comprise disengagement means which permit disengagement by applying a disengagement tensile force on the male connector in the proximal direction.

Abstract: A system and method for laser light amplification provides amplification of a laser light beam emitted from a laser light source as low-amplification seed laser light signal. The low-amplification seed laser light signal is transmitted to an amplification component. The amplification component amplifies the low-amplification seed laser light signal by stimulating emissions of the population inversion provided by a pumping diode to generate an amplified laser light signal. The system and method further directs the amplified laser light signal to an output destination. The result of the present invention is a system and method of operation providing higher pulse rates, improved pointing stability, and optionally variable pulse rates for a variety of uses, including for non-destructive laser ultrasonic testing of materials.

Abstract: A clamping chuck has a chuck body made of a dimensionally stable material, on which is provided a clamping sleeve that forms a central receptacle for a workpiece or tool that is to be clamped, and has a clamping mechanism for immobilizing in the receptacle the component that is to be clamped, while elastically deforming the clamping sleeve. There is configured in the chuck body an annular groove which surrounds the receptacle to form the clamping sleeve and is open toward the end face of the chuck body. The clamping mechanism includes a wedge ring that has a ring body and multiple clamping tongues arranged thereon, spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction, and projecting substantially axially. The wedge ring possesses a cross section tapering in a wedge shape toward the free end, and it can be pressed axially into the annular groove while radially deforming the clamping sleeve.

Abstract: A fluid powered linkage (12) has at least three side plates (18) of substantially equal width joined by connectors (17) to form a polygon of variable cross sectional area. An upper plate and a lower plate enclose a variable volume within the polygon. At least one port (37) allows fluid to enter into or leave from the enclosed variable volume in a controllable manner. Seals prevent fluid from entering or leaving the enclosed variable volume other than through the one or more ports. Two abutments (19, 11) are located on the side plates or connectors and the distance between the two abutments varies non-linearly with, but in the same direction as, the variable cross-sectional area. Optionally, an inner surface of one or more of the side plates defines a recess. A preferred linkage has a cross-section in the shape of a diamond or rhombus of varying internal angles, or a half or quarter thereof. In use, the obtuse angle preferably ranges from nearly 180 degrees to about 135 degrees. The linkage is used in an apparatus for producing a fluid output with altered pressure, volume or flow compared to a fluid input and a hydraulic motor.

Abstract: A pneumomassage articulated sleeve adapted to fit onto a foot and lower leg of a patent afflicted with lymphedema or other disorder resulting in excess body fluid. Enveloped by the sleeve is a series of overlapping inflatable cells which when the sleeve is worn, are sequentially inflated to create massaging forces giving rise to a peristaltic action pumping the excess fluid away from the foot and leg. Along the rear of the sleeve is a row of transverse slots forming articulation joints, each of which is normally fastened. To accommodate the sleeve to the patent to be treated, a slot in the row is unfastened to define a foot section conforming to the foot of the patient and a leg section hinged to the foot section conforming to the lower leg of the patient.

Abstract: A method of transferring data signals between a primary station ( 10 ) and secondary stations (SL 1 to SL 5 ) of a master/slave radio network, comprises the primary station assigning the secondary stations to a plurality of categories (Z 1 , Z 2 ). The primary station transmits beacon signals containing indications of those categories of the plurality for which it has data to be transferred. A secondary station operating in accordance with a wakeup sequence receives the beacon signals and determines if there is an indication of its category in a received beacon signal. If so, it transmits a request including an indication of its identity. The primary station checks to see if it has a data packet for the identified secondary station and, if it has, it transmits the data packet and, if not, it transmits a negative acknowledgement. Those secondary stations not participating in the exchange of messages can revert to a sleep mode thereby saving power.
