Title: Device for protecting a vertical deflection integrated circuit for a monitor
Inventor: CHOI YONG SEOK
IPC: H03K4/08
Filed: 1996-03-08
Abstract: A vertical deflection IC protection device for a monitor employing a dedicated display data channel (DDC) chip which can prevent the vertical deflection IC from being damaged by intercepting an input of a high frequency of about 25KHz to the vertical deflection IC when monitor information data stored in the DDC chip is read out by a computer. The protection device includes a DDC section receiving a vertical sync signal from a computer I/O section and outputting DDC data to the computer I/O section when a predetermined time elapses thereafter, and a vertical frequency selection control section which intercepts the input of an abnormal vertical sync signal, which has a frequency higher than the normal vertical sync signal, to the vertical deflection IC when the abnormal vertical sync signal is inputted from the computer I/O section for the DDC data transmission.
Patent CA-2174375-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NASSAR RAMI V
IPC: B61F5/52
Filed: 1996-04-17
Abstract: A lightweight sideframe having a solid and open, unitary cross-sectional I-beam shape, is structurally improved by strengthening both sides of the sideframe with cross-bracing at each pedestal jaw area. The cross-bracing laterally stiffens the sideframe, eliminating the succeptability to twisting of the I-beam shape when a transverse load is experienced. The increased lateral stiffness at the jaw area also strengthens the total lateral strength of the sideframe, allowing some removal of metallic mass from the sideframe spring seat plate. The improved lateral sideframe strength also contributes to an increase in the threshold speed of truck hunting.

Title: Implant Assist Apparatus
Inventor: LEWIS ROYCE
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 1991-08-13
Abstract: An implant assist apparatus is disclosed for implanting material such as a suture in tissue to reapproximate or reinforce the tissue. A cannula is provided having a hollow body and an open proximal and distal end. Point means is detachably fixed to the open proximal end of the cannula for penetrating tissue. A method of implanting the material in tissue for reapproximating or reinforcing the tissue with the implant assist apparatus is also disclosed whereby a length of the implant material is attached to a guide wire for partial containment within the cannula. The cannula with detachable point is passed into the tissue at an entry point remote from one side of the defect and out an exit point on the opposite side remote from the defect such that the distal end of the hollow body extends from the entry point and a proximal end extends from the exit point. The detachable point is removed from the cannula and a guide wire with implant material attached is drawn out of the proximal end of the hollow body until the implant material is exposed at both the distal and proximal ends of the hollow body. Thereafter, the cannula is withdrawn from the tissue leaving the implant material in place and the implant material is anchored to reapproximate or reinforce the defect.
