Inventor: COSGROVE III DELOS M
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 1998-09-24
Abstract: A surgical device is described. The device comprises tissue engaging means [16] that includes first and second opposed jaws [546, 548] for grasping, securing, and occluding body tissue and conduits. The tissue engaging means further includes a hinged end [572] at which the jaws are hinged together. A shaft member [14] is operatively coupled to the tissue engaging means and is capable of being placed in different curvatures. A handle assembly [12] is operatively coupled to the shaft member and to the tissue engaging means. A jaw actuating means [531], which is operatively connected to the tissue engaging means and to the handle assembly, provides for actuation of the jaws of the tissue engaging means between an open position and a closed position. At least one of the jaws is provided with a diagonal slot [567, 569] at one end. The jaw actuating means interacts with the diagonal slot of the jaw to move the jaws between the open and closed positions.

Abstract: The invention seeks to improve winding speed and productivity of a rotating
machine by providing curved edges on corner portions of tongues of an insulation cap
body. In an insulation cap structure for the rotating machine, comer portions of tongues
of an insulation cap body disposed in a stator core or a rotor core are formed so as to
have curved edges, and a locus of a needle at the time of winding is close to a circle
rather than a rectangle, whereby winding speed can be increased.
Patent EP-1489461-A1 (EP)
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: A lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing method makes use of a high refractive
index liquid confined in a reservoir 13 at least partly filling the imaging field between the
final element of the projection lens and the substrate. Bubbles forming in the liquid from
dissolved atmospheric gases or from out-gassing from apparatus elements exposed to the
liquid are detected and removed so that they do not interfere with exposure and lead to
printing defects on the substrate. Detection can be carried out by measuring the frequency
dependence of ultrasonic attenuation in the liquid and bubble removal can be implemented
by degassing and pressurizing the liquid, isolating the liquid from the atmosphere, using
liquids of low surface tension, providing a continuous flow of liquid through the imaging
field, and phase shifting ultrasonic standing-wave node patterns.

Abstract: A sensor system (10) including a plurality of transducer groups (12), with
each transducer group (12) having a plurality of transducers (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d).
The transducers (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) of each group (12) are adapted to be
placed in operative proximity with a sample material (14). Within each transducer
group (12), each transducer (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) is actuable via application of a
different phase-shifted variant (30a, 30b, 30c, 30d) of a local oscillator signal to
the transducer. The sensor system is also configured so that, for each
transducer group, the phase-shifted variants (30a, 30b, 30c, 30d) of the local
oscillator signal are selectively employed during output processing to inhibit
cross-transducer interference occurring between simultaneously active
transducers.
