IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 2008-04-02
Abstract: An improved architecture for an implantable medical device such as an implantable pulse generator (IPG) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the various functional blocks for the IPG are incorporated into a signal integrated circuit (IC). Each of the functional blocks communicate with each other, and with other off-chip devices if necessary, via a centralized bus governed by a communication protocol. To communicate with the bus and to adhere to the protocol, each circuit block includes bus interface circuitry adherent with that protocol. Because each block complies with the protocol, any given block can easily be modified or upgraded without affecting the design of the other blocks, facilitating debugging and upgrading of the IPG circuitry. Moreover, because the centralized bus can be taken off the integrated circuit, extra circuitry can easily be added off chip to modify or add functionality to the IPG without the need for a major redesign of the main IPG IC.

Abstract: In an engine air cleaner, a suction opening (50) communicating with outsid e air and a discharge opening (16) communicating with an engine (E) are provid ed in an upper cover body (11) of a cleaner cover (10), a cleaner element unit (Ue ) for cleaning the outside air sucked in via the suction opening (50) is housed within the upper cover body (11), and a skirt wall (11a) of the upper cover body (11) i n the vicinity of the suction opening (50) extends further downward than the sucti on opening (50). This prevents raindrops running down the outer face of the cleaner cover body (11) from being sucked into the interior of the air cleaner via t he suction opening (50). Further, a seal packing (68) and the cleaner element unit (Ue) are superimposed and fitted onto an outer periphery of an intake passage (17) within the cleaner cover body (10), the seal packing (68) preventing outside air from leaking directly into the discharge opening (16), and the seal packing (68) is provided with a retaining projection (75) that is tightly engaged with the intake passage (17). This prevents the seal packing (68) from being unintentionally detached from the cleaner cover body (10) when replacing the cleaner element unit (Ue), etc., thus preventing assembly of the seal packing (68) from being forgotten or the seal packing (68) from being lost. Furthermore, an air cleaner (AC) is disposed so as to be side by side with one side of the engine (E), a lower part of the cleaner cover body (10) is joined integrally to and supported on the engine (E) together with a carburetor (4) via a pair of connecting bolts (22, 23), and a reinforcing vertical wall portion (37) o f the cleaner cover body (10) facing the engine (E) across a gap is joined integrally to a nd supported on the engine (E) via another connecting bolt (24). This enhances the rigidity with which the air cleaner is supported on the engine (E).

Abstract: This invention falls within the realms of analytical chemistry and may be applied to make quality and quantity measurement of organic metals, namely, Au, Pt and Pd, present in various types of rocks and able to concentrate in their organic component. With this object in view the material being analyzed is mixed with potassium chloride (K) or sodium chloride (Na), and subjected to assay fusion with litharge. The entrapped cold shot is dissolved in aqua regia, and its dilute solution is analyzed by atomic-absorption method or by method of atomic emission with the use of plasma fixed by induction. This method makes it possible to preserve maximum of components being analyzed, whereas traditional methods of sample preparation which involve decomposition of samples and their transfer to solution cause loss of the most part of Au, Pt and Pt present as organic compounds.

Abstract: The kit for suppressing drug craving K is used by connecting an instrument for suppressing drug craving 1 to a syringe 2 and the instrument for suppressing drug craving 1 has a cylindrical housing 11, a pouch 12 provided in the housing and containing pseudo-blood B and a connecting member 13 with which the distal end of a syringe is coupled and which cause the syringe to communicate with the interior of the pouch. When the syringe accommodating pseudo-drug M is connected to the instrument and the plunger is moved forward (pseudo-priming), the pseudo-drug M flows into a pouch and the pouch inflates (Figure 2(b)), and if the plunger 4 is pulled back from this condition, the pouch 12 deflates and the pseudo-blood B flows back from the pouch 12 to the syringe 2 (flashback) (Figure 2(C)). This allows people other than health care professionals or even a drug addict to safely use the kit and allows the therapy to be effectively conducted by allowing the drug addict to associate with the act of administering a drug in a pseudo-manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of small-charge blasting as well as to a rock drilling unit and a front guide to be used therein. By means of a rock drill machine (6) provided in the rock drilling unit (4), a hole (15) is first drilled into a material to be excavated and, subsequently, a drilling tool (7) is pulled out of the hole.  Next, one or more propellants (18) comprising a propellant charge are fed to the bottom of the hole through a propellant feed channel (13) provided in connection with a feed beam (5). Then, the hole is sealed and the propellant is ignited, whereupon a high gas pressure is generated, which causes fractioning in the material to be excavated. During the feeding and ignition of the propellant, the rock drill machine is kept in a parallel direction with respect to the hole.
