Abstract: In a connector for use in connecting a connection member (33) of a sheet-like having first and second surfaces opposite to each other in a predetermined direction, a contact member (35) is provided with a first arm portion (53) extending to face the first surface and a second arm portion (54) connected to the first arm portion and extending to face the second surface. The first arm portion is for engaging with an operation member (39) to be moved by manual operation of the operation member in the predetermined direction. The second arm portion moves together with the first arm portion to become in contact with the second surface of the connection member. When the first arm portion is moved, bending is caused in a bendable portion (47) extending from a fixed portion (32) which is fixed to an insulator (31). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of treating a video signal to allow playing on a video cassette recorder (VCR) but not to allow copying using a VCR having an automatic gain control (AGC) when recording. The method involves inserting one or more pulses (22) into the back porch (36) during the horizontal blanking interval and attenuating the last lines (24) of the picture information portion (16) and horizontal synchronization information (18) at the end of each alternate frame. The pulses (22) comprise a pulse signal (44) inserted into the color burst information portion (34), an opposing pulse signal (45) having a magnitude sufficient to offset the change in the dc level of the color burst portion (34), caused by the pulse signal (44), and a further pulse (50) inserted somewhere from the last half of the remainder of the back porch (36) to the end of the start of the picture information portion (16). Consequently, the dc level of the color burst information portion (34) is always maintained at the same level it was prior to the insertion of the pulses (20). A particular encoder (52) is also disclosed together with a method and apparatus (10) decoding a video signal treated in the aforementioned manner so as to recover the original video signal.

Abstract: The liquefaction of a fluid formed partially by a mixture of hydrocarbon consists of two steps: (a) The mixture is condensed partially under reduced pressure to produce a liquid and a gas phase. Simultaneously, a fraction of at least of one of the phases is at least brought into contact by countercurrent to obtain by matter transfer a gas phase rich in low molecular weight by hydrocarbon and first phase rich in high molecular weight hydrocarbon (b) The resulting phases are separated and the gas phase rich in low molecular weight hydrocarbon is sent to second step of refrigeration to obtain a second liquid phase rich in low molecular weight hydrocarbon. Also claimed is apparatus for running the above process.

Abstract: A system for processing images includes an image file subsystem providing a source signal representing an input image; a color transformation subsystem coupled to the image file subsystem and accepting as input the source signal and producing a target signal therefrom, and an image forming subsystem coupled to the color transformation subsystem and forming a physical manifestation of the input image in response to the target signal, the color transformation subsystem being configured to establish a memory "cube" area representative of possible source signals, to define a sub-cube portion of the memory area as representative of the source signal; to determine possible target signals corresponding to the sub-cube portion; and to determine the target signal responsive to the possible target signals. If interpolation is found to be accurate for a mini-cube portion of the sub-cube, truncation or interpolation are used to derive the target signal; otherwise, the target signal is determined directly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A data compression system using vector quantization utilises a codebook or index tables constructed by finding a small set of points in an n-dimensional space which are representative of a much larger population. The space is partitioned such that the integrals of the probability density functions over all the subspaces are approximately equal and thereafter the centre of gravity of each subspace is taken to represent the subspace population. The partitioning is effected sequentially to map n-dimensional space into one dimensional code space.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for in-situ monitoring of thickness using a multi-wavelength spectrometer during chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of a substrate using a polishing tool and a film thickness monitor. The tool has an opening placed in it. The opening contains a monitoring window secured in it to create a monitoring channel. A film thickness monitor views the substrate through the monitoring channel to provide an indication of the thickness of a film carried by the substrate. This information can be used to determine the end point of the CMP process, determine removal rate at any given circumference of a substrate, determine average removal rate across a substrate surface, determine removal rate variation across a substrate surface, and optimize removal rate and uniformity. The film thickness monitor comprises a spectrometer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An on-machine-seamable multi-axial press fabric for the press section of a paper machine is made from a base fabric layer assembled by spirally winding a fabric strip in a plurality of contiguous turns, each of which abuts against and is attached to those adjacent thereto. The resulting endless base fabric layer is flattened to produce first and second fabric plies joined to one another at folds at their widthwise edges. Crosswise yarns are removed from each turn of the fabric strip at the folds at the widthwise edges to produce seaming loops. The first and second fabric plies are laminated to one another by needling staple fiber batt material therethrough. The press fabric is joined into endless form during installation on a paper machine by directing a pintle through the passage formed by the interdigitation of the seaming loops at the two widthwise edges.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for assisting percutaneous computed tomography-guided surgical activity inside a human or animal body, such as withdrawal of body tissue or body liquid sample, withdrawal of excess body liquid, insertion or injection, said method for determining insertion depth, transversal insertion angle and craniocaudal insertion angle for a needle-type surgical instrument to be inserted into the human or animal body from an insertion entry point on a skin surface of said body to a target inside said body. From a first tomography image coordinate values of said entry point are determined, and from said first or a second tomography image coordinate values of said target point are determined. Based on said coordinate values values of said insertion depth, transversal insertion angle and craniocaudal insertion angle are calculated. Said calculated values are applied to an instrument insertion guiding apparatus positioned adjacent said body in no physical contact therewith, said apparatus having a laser which provides a laser beam, manipulating adjustment means on said apparatus to let the laser beam assume the values of transversal insertion angle and craniocaudal insertion angle and to let the laser beam point at the entry point. The instrument with a needle pointed end thereof is located at said entry point and a longitudinal axis of the instrument is aligned with said laser beam, the aligning being made by letting a distal end face of said instrument be pointed at by said laser beam.

Abstract: A multi-axial bone engaging fastener assembly includes a bone screw having a partially spherical head. The bone screw head is truncated at an upper surface in which a tool receiving recess is defined. The assembly includes a receiver member including a central bore that defines a tapered recess to receive the head of the bone screw. The bore of the receiver member also defines a channel communicating with the recess and configured to receive a spinal rod therein. A portion of the channel is threaded to receive a set screw above the rod. The assembly also includes a crown member disposed between the rod and the head of the bone screw. As the set screw is tightened into the receiver member, the set screw compresses the rod against the crown member, which presses the head of the bone screw into the tapered recess. In one embodiment, the head of the bone screw includes a flared edge that penetrates at least the crown member as the assembly is tightened. In another embodiment, the bone screw head includes a plurality of circumferential ridges configured to bite into the crown member. In a further aspect, the crown member is threaded to be inserted into the receiver member by threading through the threaded portion of the receiver member.
