Abstract: A vascular dilatation device for enlarging a flow passage in an obstruction in a vessel carrying flowing blood. A flexible cylindrical dilatation member is provided for placement in the obstruction and has first and second ends and an intermediate portion between the first and second ends with an interior flow passage extending therethrough having a diameter and a longitudinally extending central axis. The diameter of the flow passage is variable with movement of the first and second ends relative to each other along the longitudinally extending central axis from a contracted position to an expanded condition. The flexible cylindrical dilatation member is comprised of a plurality of flexible elongate elements each of which extends helically about the longitudinally extending central axis. First and second collars respectively engage the first and second ends of the flexible cylindrical dilatation member to retain the first and second ends in contracted positions. A mechanism is provided for causing relative axial movement of the first and second ends towards each other to cause an intermediate portion of the flexible cylindrical dilatation member to expand to form a rigid cylinder and thereby enlarge the obstruction spaces between the flexible elongate elements at the first and second ends so that blood in the vessel can continue to flow through said first and second ends and through the interior flow passage.

Abstract: This invention is associated with a memory card apparatus using EEPROMs (19) as semiconductor memories. Externally input date are temporarily recorded in a buffer memory (13) and are subsequently written in the EEPROMs (19). Verify processing is automatically performed between the buffer memory (13) and the EEPROMs (19). Similarly, data read out from the EEPROMs (19) are temporarily recorded in the buffer memory (13) and are subsequently output to an external unit. Even with the EEPROMs (19), it seems that this memory card can be used in the same manner as a memory card using an SRAM, when viewed from the outside of the card.

Abstract: It is aimed to provide an objective lens supporting device having its tracking sensitivity in the focusing direction improved by separating the center of gravity of the moving portion for objective lens at the time when it moves in the tracking direction and the center of gravity of the moving portion for objective lens at the time when it moves in the focusing direction from each other and having vibration of the objective lens occurring when the device is subjected to an external force due to an acceleration accompanying a movement of the optical pickup suppressed, the objecting lens supporting device, further, being quite excellent in the optical disk tracking characteristic of the optical pickup device and capable of achieving cueing of an information signal on an optical disk in a very short time. 
     The object of the invention is achieved by a structure comprising a lens retaining member for retaining an objective lens, support means for supporting the lens retaining member for movement along the optical axis of the objective lens, and a supporting base supporting the support means, supported on a bed plate by means of a hinge portion, and allowing the lens retaining member to move in the tracking direction, and having the center of gravity of the entire body of the moving portion supported by means of the hinge portion positioned on the axial line of the hinge portion and the center of gravity of the lens retaining member positioned on the optical axis of the objective lens.

Abstract: A coating system, coated article and method are provided which yield a thermal barrier coating (26) having good adhesion to a bond coat (24) overlying a metal superalloy substrate (22). The adhesion of the bond coat (24) and the thermal barrier coating (26) (TBC) is achieved by formation of a mature α-Al 2 0 3  (rhombohedral) scale (28) at the bond coat/TBC interface. The adhesion of the thermal barrier coating (26) to the bond coat (24) is enhanced by utilizing one or more of the following steps (1) preoxidation of the bond coat (24), (2) inoculation of the surface of the bond coat (24), (3) surface doping of the bond coat surface, and (4) the addition of noble metals. The above step improves the formation of α-Al 2 0 3  which improves the adhesion of the TBC to the bond coat by avoiding undesired oxide phase transformations.

Abstract: The locking mechanism includes an annular rotor flange (1) which is placed transversally w.r.t the rotor (B) rotation axis. The stator (A) has an extended section (5) with an arm (2) partly covering the flange. The arm has a disc shape including an annular extension. A slidable ring (6) is placed transversally w.r.t the rotation axis and partially in regard with the flange, on the opposite side than the arm. The slidable ring is placed on a pushing ring (4) which is radially fixed to a portion (5) of the stator. The pushing ring can move axially w.r.t this stator portion. An inflatable annular element (6) is inserted between a fixed stator portion (7) and the pushing ring. Air can be inserted externally to pump up the element which thus moves the slidable ring against the fixed flange, locking the rotor in place w.r.t the stator.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and device for removing ticks from humans and animals. The device comprises: a base part (1) with at least one opening (2a, 2b), a thread loop (6) of resilient material which is arranged to be drawn into the opening (2a, 2b) under the effect of a spring member (5). The cross section of this opening relative to the thread loop (6) is such that the loop (6) outside the opening (2a, 2b), whilst being drawn thereinto, gradually decreases in size. Operatively connected to the thread loop (6) is a member (4, 4a) arranged such that, against the effect of the spring member (5), it shoots the thread loop (6) out of the opening (2a, 2b). According to the method of the invention, owing to pressure being exerted on the pushbutton (4a), the loop (6) is ejected from the opening (2a, 2b), laid around the tick and, since pressure is no longer exerted on the pushbutton (4a), can be drawn into the opening (2a, 2b). The loop (6) is then rotated one turn and the tick releases its grip within approximately three seconds.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de télécommunications numérique et en particulier un procédé pour la transmission non transparente de données. Il y a une chaîne de connexion non transparente (V.110+L2R/RLP) entre un correspondant émetteur (A) et un correspondant récepteur (B), sur laquelle est utilisé un codage des voies. Le tampon d'émission tamponne les trames de données à transmettre et garde en mémoire les trames de données transmises jusqu'à ce qu'il reçoive un accusé de réception réussie. Selon l'invention, on évite cette étape en surveillant la qualité de la connexion non transparente et, si cette qualité tombe à une valeur de seuil spécifique, en changeant le schéma de codage de la connexion pour un autre plus efficace. Toutefois, une plus grande capacité des voies est attribuée simultanément pour la connexion, selon le schéma de codage des voies choisi, de manière à ce que la vitesse nominale d'origine des données utilisateur puisse être maintenue inchangée ou pratiquement inchangée.

Abstract: A method for automated refuelling is provided, the method comprising the steps of: providing the vehicle with a radio frequency transponder effective to communicate information sufficient to establish a position of a fuel inlet on the vehicle; receiving the communicated information at location where the vehicle is to be refuelled when the vehicle is located at the location where the vehicle is to be refuelled; when the vehicle is located at the location where the vehicle is to be refuelled, determining the position and orientation of the vehicle within the location; determining from the position and orientation of the vehicle and the communicated information, an expected location of the fuel inlet; after the vehicle is driven to an automated refuelling apparatus, initiating refuelling by moving a fuel dispenser to adjacent the expected location of the fuel inlet; providing a sensor on the fuel dispenser to determine the location of the fuel inlet relative to the fuel dispenser; repositioning the fuel dispenser based on a signal from the sensor on the fuel dispenser to a position from which the vehicle can be refuelled from the dispenser; and refuelling the vehicle from the repositioned fuel dispenser. This method, and the apparatus useful in the practice of this method, do not require accurate initial positioning of the vehicle by the driver, or extensive modifications to the vehicle. The refuelling operation is not commenced until engine operation of the vehicle is discontinued, and the refuelling operation can be discontinued when the vehicle engine is restarted.
