IPC: H03K19/0185
Filed: 1994-08-10
Abstract: A translator circuit for providing symmetrical switching delays for use with a power line for a differential amplifier having a first signal line and a complementary second signal line, the translator circuit including: a first voltage clamp coupled to the first signal line and to the power line for limiting a voltage differential between the power line and the first signal line ; and a second voltage clamp coupled to the power line and the second signal line for limiting a voltage differential between the power line and the second signal line. The translator circuit provides reduced sensitivity to variations in process parameters, power supply voltages, temperature and manufacturing tolerances. The translator circuit also provides symmetrical tracking between the rise to rise and the fall to fall delays of an emitter coupled logic to complementary metal-oxide semiconductor translator circuit.

Abstract: The possibility of passing off apparent "good" higher level digital signals that may include corrupted or failed lower level digital signals because of inter-ring grooming of the lower level digital signals from a bidirectional line-switched ring to a path-switched ring and vice versa which employ first and second shared nodes is minimized by dual feeding communications circuits from the bidirectional line-switched ring to the path-switched ring and vice versa via the shared nodes. An inter-ring groomed communications circuit is provisioned from a secondary ring node in the line-switched ring of one of the shared nodes (secondary communications circuit) to be supplied to a primary ring node in the other of the shared nodes of the line-switched ring. A replica of the secondary communications circuit is demultiplexed to obtain the lower level digital signals, which are evaluated on a pair-wise basis with corresponding lower level digital signals from the primary ring node. The least corrupted of the evaluated lower level signals are selected to be combined into a new primary communications circuit which is to be inserted in the line-switched transmission path. An inter-ring groomed communications circuit is provisioned from a secondary ring node of one of the shared nodes in the path-switched ring to be supplied to a primary ring node in the other shared node of the path-switched ring. The secondary communications circuit is demultiplexed to obtain the lower level signals which are evaluated on a pair-wise basis with lower level signals from a corresponding primary communications circuit to determine which of the lower level signals are least corrupted. The selected least corrupted lower level signals are combined into a new primary communications circuit which is then dual fed in the path-switched ring primary ring node.

Abstract: A biological fluid processing system (10) for the processing of biological fluid (such as blood) is disclosed. The biological fluid processing system (10) separates gases from the system to improve storage life, safety, and the quality of the processed biological fluid. The biological fluid processing system (10) increases the yield of the processed biological fluid by allowing recovery of biological fluid trapped in various elements of the system. A typical biological fluid processing system (10) includes a collection bag (11) with conduits (12, 15) connecting it to a second container (17) for receiving biological fluid. A functional biomedical device (14) may be included. A gas inlet (13) allows gas to be introduced into the system to recover the biological fluid trapped in the system. A gas outlet (16) allows gas to be purged from the system.

Abstract: Invented method, apparatus, and computer program product for determining image quality can be employed either during diagnostic mode or at run time of an imaging system. One component performs numerical analysis on a digital image. Another component accepts or rejects the quality of the digital image based on the results of the numerical analysis. In one embodiment, if the cumulative harmonic content of Fourier component amplitudes of a synthesized scan line exceeds a threshold value, the digital image is rejected as being of inadequate quality; otherwise the digital image is accepted. In another embodiment, a maximum gradient of a scan line of the digital image is computed. If, for some specified number of occurrences during a scan of a target, the maximum gradient exceeds a ceiling value or falls below a floor value, then the image is rejected.

The transverse extension of the projections (2) is preferably larger than the longitudinal extension thereof, so that descending liquid (4) flows downward while being transversely dispersed at the projections (2). The holes (3) are provided between the projections (2) such that they do not obstruct the transverse dispersion of liquid (4) at the projections (2). Moreover, the holes (3) themselves accelerate the transverse dispersion of liquid (4) or the dispersion of liquid between the front and rear surfaces of the thin plate (1) by the surface tension of the liquid (4). As a result, an excellent uniformity of liquid distribution can be obtained on the surface of the thin plate (1).

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed to control a Yankee hood profile along the cylinder wrap so as to provide a structurally stable hood having controlled impingement distances at operating temperatures. Radial support of the hot hood internals are located at or near the extremities of the hood wrap and the internal profile along the cylinder wrap is on an adjusted cold shape so that the profile is even when operating temperatures are reached. Thus, the hood is "deformed" (not pre-strained) when cold but, when the operating temperature is reached, it assumes the desired configuration.

Abstract: Aspheric toric lens designs are disclosed which reduce the number of cylindrical axis locations required for stock keeping units in inventory by aspherizing the toric surface thereof. The present invention pertains to ophthalmic lenses, and in particular to contact lenses such as soft hydrogel contact lenses, particularly designed to fit astigmatic patients who are either non-presbyopic or presbyopic. One of the front and back surfaces of the aspheric toric lens defines a spherical surface corresponding at least to the patient's basic distance prescription Rx. The other of the front and back surfaces defines an aspheric toric curve, wherein the toric surface is constructed with aspheric radii, such that the aspheric curve desensitizes axial misalignment of the toric curve by providing an enhanced depth-of-focus. When the aspheric toric surface is on the back surface of the lens, the spherical curve on the front surface of the lens can comprise a single spherical curve corresponding to the patient's basic distance prescription Rx. When the aspheric toric curve is on the front surface of the lens, the spherical curve on the back surface of the lens can comprise a multifocus concentric annular ring spherical surface design.
