Abstract: A description is given of equipment for filtering liquids, comprising three sections superimposed coaxially and placed above a container with filter walls for collecting the filtered particles. From the top to the bottom, the first section communicates directly with the second, while the second communicates with the third sector, and the latter communicates with the container via two valves. A pump introduces the liquid to be filtered into the first section, inside a filter layer, and another pump projects a quantity of the previously filtered liquid against the filter layer from the inside of the first section. By cyclically operating the valves it is possible to continuously filter the liquid, which flows out in the filtered state from ducts which branch from the first section, even while the particles deposited in the third section are discharged into a container with filter walls which is immersed in a vessel containing the liquid to be filtered.

Abstract: An endoscopic instrument has a control member, a portion of the member having an outer surface with a non-circular cross-sectional shape. The non-circular cross-sectional shape may be provided to the control member by providing peripheral projections or fins along the length of the portion or by providing the periphery of the portion with a polygonal shape. Where fins are used, the fins are preferably quite small and only have a minimal effect on the fluid flow cross-sectional area between the interior of the endoscope instrument shaft and the central control member. The resulting instrument has significantly reduced backlash in end effector assembly manipulation, while maintaining adequate fluid flow in the endoscope shaft. According to a second embodiment of the invention, a portion of the interior of the shaft of the endoscopic instrument has an interior surface having a non-circular cross-sectional shape by the inclusion of a plurality of radially spaced and inwardly directed ribs or by being polygonally shaped. The resulting endoscopic instrument likewise reduces the backlash experienced in operating the distal end effector assembly.

Abstract: The invention proposes an interface circuit having a very low power consumption and generating very low interference noise in the sensitive band of ratio chips. It is advantageously used to interface a microprocessor with a baseband radio processor in a telecommunication device, for example in DECT or GSM phones. The interface of the invention is current-driven. It comprises a current driver for transmitting a current in a transmission line depending on the data to be transferred. It also comprises a current receiver. The current receiver has an input node and an output node interconnected via a current mirror circuit, so that the voltage on said input node is near to the ground voltage and the voltage on said output node is changing depending on the transferred data.

Abstract: A multiport device is configured to recognize each active segment on a bus, and to selectively propagate signals within the device depending upon whether the segment is active. Optimal signal propagation is achieved by invoking the control of the propagation of signals only after a first active-transition on the bus. Initial transitions are propagated unconditionally, to minimize propagation delay, and subsequent signal propagations are conditionally controlled, to avoid latch-up. A latch is associated with each port. The latch is set each time the port is actively driven by a device on that port. The latch is reset when all the devices are in the quiescent state, or when another port remains active after the currently active port becomes inactive. The state of each port's latch controls the propagation of internally generated signals to the port. If the latch is set, internally generated signals are not propagated to the port, thereby preventing latch-up. If the latch is not set, both internally generated signals and externally generated signals are propagated to the port, thereby minimizing propagation delays.

Abstract: A secure first memory contains a boot program and a decryption key. When the gaming device, such as a stand-alone slot machine, is switched on, the boot program is used to download a start program from an external memory into a main memory. The start program contains a decryption algorithm. The start program is then used to download an encrypted gaming program from the external memory. The start program decrypts the gaming program using the code key from the first memory and stores the decrypted gaming program in the main memory. A main processor then carries out the gaming program when a player initiates play of the gaming device. Because of the special sequence of all steps to load the data, an unauthorized person cannot load different or changed programs to any of the memories.

Abstract: An injection apparatus includes an injection frame; a cylinder member attached to the injection frame; an injection member disposed within the cylinder member such that the same can rotate and can advance and retreat; a rotary slide member attached to the injection member; a stator attached to the injection frame, and a rotor disposed radially inward of the stator to be rotatable relative to the stator. The rotor includes a hollow, cylindrical member disposed radially outward of the rotary slide member and movably relative to the rotary slide member, and a magnet attached to the cylindrical member. In this case, the rotor has a cylindrical member and a magnet and can transmit generated rotation directly to the rotary slide member. Therefore, a transmission mechanism which consists of an output gear, a counter drive gear, a counter driven gear, a rotary member, etc. becomes unnecessary; and generation of noise due to meshing engagement of gears and other components can be prevented. Accordingly, the number of components can be reduced, generation of torque loss can be prevented, and cost of the injection apparatus can be reduced.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of a stent provides a folded strut section that provides both structural rigidity and reduction in foreshortening of the stent mechanism. A flexible section provides flexibility for delivery of the stent mechanism. In a second embodiment, flexible section columns are angled with respect to each other, and to the longitudinal axis of the stent. These relatively flexible sections are oppositely phased in order to negate any torsion along their length. In yet another embodiment, the flexible connector can take on an undulating shape (like an "N"), but such that the longitudinal axis of the connector is not parallel with the longitudinal axis of the stent. Finally, a new method is disclosed for making stents. The method consists of performing a standard photochemical machining process of cutting, cleaning and coating the tube with a photoresist. However, unlike former methods, the photoresist image is developed on the surface of the cylindrical metallic tube, which results in a controlled variable etching rate at selected sites on the cylindrical metallic tube during the etching process. Further embodiments provide living hinge connectors and connections along the length of the radial strut member.

Abstract: In the information recording apparatus, by driving the light source by the pulse signal corresponding to the recording signal, the laser pulse corresponding to the recording signal is irradiated onto the recording medium. The recording signal has the mark period to form the recording mark, and the space period in which the recording mark is not formed. In the mark period, the output level of the laser pulse changes between the normal level and the writing level, thereby, the recording mark is formed on the recording medium. On the one hand, over a predetermined period in the space period, the output level of the laser pulse is changed to the low level lower than the normal level. Thereby, the heat accumulation onto the recording medium, due to the transient response of the laser pulse in the mark period, is reduced, and in the mark period after that, the correct recording mark can be formed. <IMAGE>
