Abstract: A needle assembly (10) includes a needle (22) and a hub (24) mounted to each other. The hub includes a sidewall spaced outwardly from the needle cannula and extending to a distal position between the opposed ends of the needle cannula. A housing (80) integral with the hub defines a sidewall to partially confine a safety shield (28). The safety shield is slidably disposed about the needle cannula and releasably retained in a proximal position and can be moved to a distal position where the safety shield completely surrounds that portion of the needle hub projecting distally from the hub. The needle assembly includes a spring (32) for propelling the safety shield to the distal position and a latch (29) for releasing the safety shield from the proximal position. The latch may be passively activated by normal usage of the medical implement to which the needle assembly is mounted or alternately activated manually.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical integrated circuit device includes a substrate that defines a plurality of fluid inlet channels. Drive circuitry is positioned on the substrate. A plurality of fixed nozzle chamber walls is positioned on the substrate about respective fluid inlet channels. A plurality of movable nozzle chamber structures is positioned over respective nozzle chamber walls so that nozzle chambers are defined by the nozzle chamber walls and the nozzle chamber structures. The nozzle chambers are in fluid communication with respective fluid inlet channels and the nozzle chamber structures each define a fluid ejection port. The device includes a plurality of elongate actuators. Each elongate actuator is fast at one end with the substrate to receive electrical signals from the drive circuitry and fast at an opposite end with a respective nozzle chamber structure so that, on receipt of an electrical signal, the actuators are operable to displace the movable nozzle chamber structures towards and away from the substrate so that fluid is ejected from the fluid ejection ports.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for the mastering of an optical disk protected against copying and such an optical disk. The protected disk is of the type with double spiral, in which there exists a protection zone where a secondary spiral (PB) is nested between the turns of a main spiral (PA), the spacing from one turn of a spiral to the adjacent turn retaining the standard value. To allow undisturbed reading by standard readers, there is provision to effect a shift of k sectors between the sectors with the same address (n) on each of the two spirals. Infill zones (FAcc, FDec) are furthermore provided at the start and at the end of the useful part of the secondary track (PB) so as to avoid the risks of "hole" or of mutual overwriting of the tracks. The invention applies to optical disks protected against copying and to their manufacture.

Abstract: Mirroring data to provide a virtual storage area network using policing protocols and mirror engines without a physical shared storage node. The mirror engines are found at each server computer in the network in order to mirror the data between mass storage devices of the servers as the servers receive and execute write operations, which results in each mass storage device containing the same stored data. The policing protocols prevent data corruption by not allowing more than one server at a time write to a file of data. If one server experiences failure and is incapable of providing access to network data, the other server or servers can service all read requests, since all network data is accessible by all servers. Unlike conventional storage area networks, there is no physical shared storage node and, accordingly, the costs of obtaining and operating the virtual storage area network are relatively small.
