Patent EP-0400605-A3 (EP)
Title: Automatic gain control circuit for use in a television camera
IPC: H04N5/238
Filed: 1990-05-30
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for controlling the aperture 
of an iris (2) in a camera, such as a television camera. 
Samples of an image signal produced during a predetermined 
interval that have magnitudes greater than a threshold 
level are counted, and the difference between this 
count and a predetermined count is determined. The 
aperture of the iris (2) is controlled as a function 
of this difference.
Patent EP-0416368-A3 (EP)
Title: Adaptive controller
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 1990-08-21
Abstract: When an adaptation request arrives in the form of an adjustment to a manipulated variable or a set point, the resultant settling processes of manipulated variable and controlled variable are sensed and stored. The manipulated variables are supplied to a model (MD), the parameters T,n of which are modified in such a manner that the simulated response of the model excited with the stored variation of the manipulated variable corresponds as closely as possible to the stored real process response. The parameters of a controller (RG) are corrected, for example in accordance with the principle of the optimum of the absolute value, on the basis of the model which has thus been approximated to the process. The invention is used in adaptive controllers. <IMAGE>

Title: Powered rotatable curved instrument.
Inventor: SMITH GRAHAM
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 1994-01-27
Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a first member that has an opening in its distal region for admitting tissue and that is rotatable with respect to a base from which the first member extends to allow the rotational orientation of the opening to be selectively changed with respect to the axis of the instrument. A second member is disposed within the first member to transmit force to move a cutting implement disposed at its distal end and cause it to cut tissue that is exposed to the implement through the opening. In one embodiment, a curved, rigid member is disposed coaxially with the first and second members to provide the first member with a bend region that angularly offsets the distal region (and hence the opening) from the axis of the instrument in a selected direction. The first member is relatively flexible, at least in the bend region, to allow the rotational orientation of the opening to be changed without changing the selected direction of the offset. At least a portion of the second member that is disposed in the bend region is also relatively flexible to transmit the applied force through the bend region to the cutting implement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an on-hook voltage control circuit for
controlling an on-hook voltage by the use of an balanced
amplifier (11) producing a first and a second output
signal which are equal in amplitude to each other and
inverted in polarity from each other, a first signal
producing circuit (R3, R4, and R6) uses only the first
and the second output signals to produces a first input
signal supplied to the balanced amplifier. A first
processing circuit (22) processes the first output signal
into a first processed signal by the use of a first
reference signal. A second processing circuit (23)
processes the first processed signal into a second
processed signal with an attenuation of the first
processed signal. By the use of the first output, the
second output, and the second processed signals, a second
signal producing circuit (24, 25, R1, R2, and R3)
produces a second input signal supplied to the balanced
amplifier. The balanced amplifier amplifies the first
and the second input signals to produce the first and the
second output signals.

Abstract: A heat exchange apparatus (10) which can be used as an evaporative condenser, fluid cooler or wet-air cooler, is provided with a direct evaporative heat exchange section (90) overlying an indirect evaporative heat exchange section (50). An air entry zone (120) common to both heat exchange sections (50;90) receives an air stream blown into this zone by at least one fan (24), thereby pressurizing the plenum such that the air stream is forced to split and enter each section (50;90) while inside the apparatus. This eliminates the need for separate air entries, thus condensing the size and cost of the apparatus, while increasing heat exchange capacity. A countercurrent air flow pattern through the direct section (90) provides a uniformly cooled evaporative liquid for use in the indirect section (50). The evaporative liquid flow is parallel to the air stream provided in the indirect section. A process fluid inside the circuits of the indirect section (50) can accept or reject heat from the evaporative liquid received from the direct section (90), with a part of the heat being transferred into the indirect section air stream in sensible and latent form, thus increasing or decreasing the enthalpy of the air stream. The remaining heat can be either stored or released from the evaporative liquid to increase or decrease its temperature. The evaporative liquid is collected in a sump (30) and then pumped upwardly for re-distribution across the direct evaporative heat exchange section (90). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A balloon element for use in a catheter has a multi-layered
single-walled structure and a compliance characteristic exhibiting a
first, non-compliant region at low operating pressures and a
secondary compliant region at higher operating pressures. The
properties of the balloon element permit it to serve for both
dilatation of bodily vessels and stent delivery and implantation. A
method of manufacturing the balloon element involves extrusion of a
tube of material, such as PEEK, which serves as an inner wall layer
of the finished balloon element and provides the desired strength
and compliance characteristics of the balloon element, and a post-extrusion
over the first tube, which provides an outer wall layer in
the finished balloon element imparting abrasion resistance and other
desirable mechanical properties.

IPC: G06F9/45

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for
generating executable computer code for an application program written in C++
source code. In typical prior art systems, application program source code that
has not itself been modified must still generally be recompiled in the event that
object-oriented class definitions used by the application program and contained in
separate header files have been modified. The methods and apparatus of the
present invention reduce the need for such recompilation, by using procedural
interfaces to implement object-oriented interfaces at the compiled code level.
Thus, in accordance with the present invention, compiled header file code is
generated that includes accessors for accessing object instances of the class
definitions, each of the accessors being a procedure operative to access the object
instances of the corresponding class definition. Compiled application program
code is generated which replaces object references with procedure calls to
appropriate accessors. In this way, the application program and the header file
class definitions remain relatively independent of each other with respect to
implementation details, even at the compiled code level.
