Title: Apparatus for treating tissue
Inventor: MARCHOSKY JOSE ALEXANDER
IPC: A61B18/18
Filed: 1989-09-19
Abstract: Method and apparatus is disclosed for treating tissue interstitially with multiple modalities of treatment. The apparatus comprises a semi-rigid elongated member that is implanted interstitially in the malignant tumor. A hollow passageway is longitudinally positioned in the member for positioning one or more modalities inserted or positioned therein. The elongated member is coated with another modality such as a carrier substance that is responsive at a temperature above normal tissue temperature for releasing a carried substance such as a therapeutic anti-cancer drug. Within the elongated member, an electrical heater element for one modality produces heat when energized for heating the probe, the carrier substance, the anti-cancer drug, and the surrounding tissue. A second modality such as a source of radiation is inserted in the passageway after the probe is interstitially implanted. A trocar stylet is initially inserted in the passageway to implant the probe. When the probe is implanted, the trocar stylet is removed, and the heater element and/or source of radiation is inserted into the passageway. The several modalities combine in a synergistic manner to provide an overall treatment that has an effectiveness level greater than the sum of the individual modalities.

Abstract: This invention describes a method of sharing the call and the data terminal information associated with the call with a plurality of phone extensions (refer to 4,6 in fig.1) and their associated data terminals (5,7 in fig.1). This capability facilitates shared access to information. A plurality of Computerized Branch Exchanges (CBX) are joined via a network means to facilitate the transfer of the call and pass a host program running on a host 3 the phone source extension and the destination extension for the transfer. The host program looks up the source and destination extensions in a phone to terminal file and determines the network address of the data terminals involved and transfers the appropriate host application terminal display to invoke a transfer of display informa­tion to the participants in the conference call either automatically or under the control of parties to the conversation. The host application sends the data termi­nal information to the destination data terminal displays in conjunction with the transferred phone calls.

Abstract: A device and method are presented which allow the precise generation of signals within an integrated circuit (200) that are calibrated to an external reference signal (306). The device consists of a ring oscillator (304) which generates a calibration signal (316) oscillating at a first frequency and a power source that supplies a compensated power signal to the ring oscillator (304). The first frequency is variable based on the voltage of the compensated power signal. A phase detector (401) is used to detect the relative phase of the calibration signal and the external reference signal (306). The compensated power signal is also used for critical data paths within the integrated circuit (200) where precise timing is required. In a tester, a plurality of signals (218) may be extracted from the ring oscillator (304) using a series of taps. These signals will oscillate at the same frequency as the calibration signal (316), but will be phase shifted. The signals may be combined with multiplexors (403,404) to form a test signal (226) which is applied to a device unter test (DUT). Further, in order to make transparent propagation delay, delayed calibration signals (317) may be generated.

Filed: 1990-08-10
Abstract: An analyser for detecting explosives has at least one source (10) and a plurality of gamma ray detectors (15). An article (18) to be analysed is moved adjacent the source (10) and detectors (15) and is subjected to neutrons which generate gamma rays in any nitrogen in the article (18). The gamma rays are detected and analysed to determine the nitrogen concentration within the article (18). In order to achieve an area of uniform detection there are a plurality of detectors (15) equidistant both from each source (10) and from the article (18) to be analysed. In order to avoid a decrease insensitivity away from the sources (10) and detectors (15), there may be a second opposing array of sources (10) and detectors (15) on the opposite side of the articles (18). For greatest uniformity of detection, a source (10) in one array opposes a detector (15) in the other array and vice versa. Transmission of radiation from the, analyser is kept at safe levels by enclosing the analyser within shielding (37) which includes shield members (43) extending from a trolley (40) or other transport means.

Title: Multi-purpose display module system for an electronic instrument
Inventor: MALLORY ROBERT LEWIS
IPC: H05K7/14
Filed: 1990-09-18
Abstract: A multi-purpose display module system for an electrical instrument (10) has a readily detachable display module (30) for remote use that can be quickly reattached. The display module is readily adjusted in tilt angle, whether attached or remoted. A front frame (14) with a recess (16) is mounted on the front of a main chassis for the instrument. Latches (20) are mounted on the main chassis and extend into the recess on opposing sides of the recess, the ends of the latches defining a rotation axis across the recess. A display module has clutch assemblies (44) frictionally, rotatably mounted on opposing sides to fixedly engage the ends of the latches when the display module is mounted within the recess. Release of one latch allows the display module to be removed and set up independently with a stand (48) integral with the clutch assemblies, the display module being electrically connected to the electrical instrument by an electrical cable (36) of suitable length. The integral stand provides a means for remotely setting up the display module at any desirable viewing angle when remoted. Thus the tilt of the display module may be adjusted while the display module either is mounted within the instrument or is remoted from the instrument.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for automatically opening and closing a receiving inlet of a replacable cash box. In a cash box (9) which is used in a cash dispenser, the receiving inlet (12) is automatically opened during introduction into a receiving space (2) of the dispenser (1), and is closed on removal. In this procedure, entraining elements (39, 40), which are rotatably mounted on a closure plate (13) assigned to the receiving inlet (12) and are subject to the action of springs (43, 44) interact in a locking manner with a regulating member (8) fixedly connected to the housing of the dispenser (1). The entraining elements (39, 40) are controlled by means of pins (52, 53), which are fixed in the entraining elements (39, 40) and engage in connecting links (54, 55) formed in a partition. The proposed device permits simple assembly, allows structural components with approximate tolerances, and forms an optimum force transmission between the closure plate (13) and the regulating member (8). <IMAGE>
