Abstract: A multicolored braided surgical suture is woven in one embodiment in a spiral multi-color braid. The suture is braided by moving thread carriers from position to position around a circular path, with each carrier moving from a present position to a succeeding position which is at least two positions removed from its present position. Such spiral braided sutures are advantageously produced without core filaments, providing benefits in strength, smoothness, pliability, cylindrical uniformity without the discontinuity of properties characteristic of conventionally braided cored sutures and visibility. The surgical suture is woven in a multi-color lattice braid in another embodiment, providing a plurality of distributed core passageways for individual core fibers.

Abstract: In a transmission path (10) for the transmission of a colour signal of a colour television signal, a signal switch (12) having at least three switch positions (12a, 12b, 12c) is connected, the end positions of which are connected to the output (11.2) and, respectively, to the input (11.1) of a delay line (11) contained in the transmission path. An edge detection arrangement (24) is connected to the transmission path (8) of the luminance signals, which edge detection arrangement, on detecting a signal edge in the luminance signal, generates a detection signal which oscillates about a zero line and exhibits a zero crossing at the detection time and which controls the signal switch in such a manner that an associated colour signal edge of the colour signal occurring at the time of the signal edge of the luminance signal is transmitted with great steepness. Outside the detection of a signal edge, both a component of the undelayed and of the delayed colour signal is transmitted to the signal output (12.3) of the signal switch. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In micromanipulator apparatus having fine instrument mechanism translation drivers movable along three axes within a defined space, an operating system directing uniplanar movement of the translation drivers. The system is realized in operating apparatus including a mouse as an operational data input device which, via an analogue movement thereof generating drive data, directs a correspondingly mapped uniplanar movement of the fine instrument translation drivers concerning two of the three axes, in an actual selection from a repeating sequence of dual combinations via a click button of the mouse. A controller, accordingly responsive to the drive and axes selection data input from the mouse, commands, via output to the translation drivers, movement in a plane through the two axes actually in selection. Thus operational movement and data input via the mouse effect constantly uniplanar translation of the fine instrument mechanisms, the plane of translation being continuously switchable among three planes of movement. Stable operative control of complicated micromanipulator movements, especially in micrometer increments, is furthermore enabled to be single-handed, such that two micromanipulating fine instrument mechanisms can be operated by an operator using both hands to handle the pair of corresponding mice.

Abstract: The invention is a process for combusting a gaseous fuel in a burner to result in low NO x  emissions by first feeding a gaseous fuel stream (2) and an air stream (4) to a premixer (6) where the fuel and air streams are mixed to form a fuel-air mixture (8). The fuel and air streams are fed to the premixer at a fuel to air equivalence ratio of less than 1 (i.e., fuel-lean). Second, the fuel-air mixture is passed to a combustion chamber (10) where the fuel is substantially combusted to produce a combustion chamber jet (12) and flue gases (14). The combustion chamber jet and flue gases pass into a heating zone (16) which may include a furnace, heater, or boiler. Third, at least two high-velocity fuel streams (18), optionally diluted with a non-reactive thermal ballast, are passed to the heating zone contemporaneously with the second step. The high-velocity fuel streams entrain at least a portion of the flue gases. The fuel in the high-velocity fuel streams is partially combusted prior to coming into contact with the combustion chamber jet. Last, the flue gases are removed from the heating zone.

Abstract: A variable optical delay line which can delay an optical signal by a selected interval of time comprises an input wavelength router (12) connected to an output wavelength router (22) by means of optical waveguides (18 l -18 N ) of different lengths. A wavelength shifter (13) coupled to the input of the input wavelength router shifts the wavelength of the received signal to a desired wavelength. Depending on the wavelength of the signal from the wavelength shifter, the received signal is directed to a specific one of the waveguides of different lengths to provide a delay which is controllable. The output wavelength router directs the optical signals from the various waveguides of different lengths to a common output waveguide (24).

Abstract: For incoherent parallel optimal reception of m signal forms of different frequencies, an amplified and filtered reception signal (X) from the mains network is analog to digital converted and applied to a digital multiplier (6). A digital reference signal (Y) from a sample value memory (39) addressed by an address counter (35) is applied to the other input of the multiplier (6). 2m reference values Y corresponding to the in-phase and quadrature sample values of the m signal waveforms are allocated to each X value. The resulting products are accumulated in a ring structure of an adder (7), a bank of 2m registers and a switch (18) so that after a signal period, the in-phase and quadrature components of m signal forms for a data bit or a preamble are accumulated in the 2m registers. The switch (18) sends the results from the registers to a decision device (20-28) and the respective signal form energies are calculated. A shift operation is then carried out where the value of register (26) is copied into the other two registers (22, 27). The relevant differences for a chip decision are formed and provided for serial output on m output lines (29-33). The differences can be read by a microcontroller. On data reception, no read out clock is needed and only one bit is to be read on each line. The address counter (35) addresses the memory (40) containing the sample signal values. Frequency only changes in sync with the counter cycle guaranteeing phase continuity with signal synthesis. <IMAGE>
