Abstract: A luer connector assembly is provided for enhancing the frictional engagement between medical devices such as syringes and needle assemblies. The assembly needle includes a female luer fitting having a passageway and a relatively soft, resilient member bounding the passageway. The passageway is also bounded by the body of the fitting, which is harder than the soft, resilient member. A male luer fitting inserted into the passageway engages both the soft, resilient member and the body of the female luer fitting. A method of manufacturing such a connector assembly is further provided. A first material is injected into a mold to form the body of a female luer fitting, the fitting including a passageway and a recess extending into the body. A second material is then injected such that it extends into the recess and bounds the passageway. The second material, when cool, is softer than the first material.

Abstract: A cylinder lock-key combination including a cylinder housing, a key and a plug which has a circular-cylindrical barrel surface and which is rotatable in an opening in the housing. The barrel surface of the housing includes a key recess whose width exceeds its depth, and a plurality of code pin channels are preferably disposed in several rows. Code pin tumblers present in the code pin channels co-act with one or more blocking elements, such as pins or side bars, disposed in channels intended to this end. The blocking elements block rotation of the plug when one side surface of an inserted key presents wrong code surfaces. There is provided in this way a compact lock construction, which also enables the use of many code pins.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting an inventory of tags, wherein each tag (102) is assigned a Tag ID and a manufacture number. Each tag can be attached to an item to take inventory of those items. A tag reader (104) transmits a wake-up signal followed by at least one clock signal. Each tag increments a first tag count in response to the clock signals, and transmits the Tag ID assigned to the tag when the first tag count corresponds to the Tag ID assigned to the tag records the transmitted Tag. When more than one tag transmits simultaneously, the tag stores the Tag ID in order to resolve the contention when the first read cycle (202) is complete. In the second read cycle (206), the tag reader transmits the contended Tag ID followed by at least one clock signal. Each tag that contended for the transmitted Tag ID increments a second tag count in response to the clock signals, and transmits the manufacturer number assigned to the tag when the second tag count corresponds to the manufacturer number assigned to the tag. The tag reader records transmitted Tag IDs, completing the inventory of the tags. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for multiple access interference suppression and to a receiver applying the method. A preliminarily detected signal is spreading coded and channel distorted in a MAI estimator (350) for generating an estimate signal (274) corresponding to a received and reception-filtered signal. Pulses (360) corresponding to a signal component of each path of each user are generated from the signal in a pulse generator block (300), and the pulses are combined according to path delays into a pulse sequence (362) in a combiner (310). In a filter (312), the pulse sequence (362) is subjected to waveform filtering, which is the convolution of reception filtering and pulse shaping filtering. Finally, in a summer (220), the estimate signal (274) is subtracted from the received and reception-filtered signal (270) to cancel multiple access interference. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an evaporator tube for a sea water desalination system, whereby drinking water or water for domestic or industrial purposes, respectively, is extracted from the sea in particular in areas having scarce fresh-water resources. The evaporator tube of the invention is characterized by being formed of a steel that is sea water resistant and at the same time acid resistant, and by having a wall thickness between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm. The evaporator tube of the invention may be furnished and utilized economically, and is characterized in particular by a high corrosion resistance at good heat transition owing to the thin wall, and by good resistance against low pH values. In addition, scaling on the evaporator tubes may reliably be prevented. It is therefore also suited for economical operation in intermittently operated sea water desalination systems such as, e.g., wind energy-powered sea water desalination systems.

Abstract: Flange assembly (56) for supporting a structure that provides scavenging air supply to an internal combustion engine (40) at the carburetor (42) to the engine. The assembly includes a thin-body flange (58) that is configured to be abuttingly installed upon an end surface (48) of the carburetor. The carburetor has its combustion air intake (50) or port exposed at an outer surface for intaking air for the combustion process. The thin construction of the flange enables advantageous positioning of the adaptive flange. The relative dimensioning of the thin-body flange (58) also contributes to its low-impact as a modification to air inlet arrangement. A combustion air aperture (60) is provided that extends through the thin-body flange. The combustion air aperture (60) is located in the flange for alignment with the combustion air intake. By this alignment, fluid communication is established across the flange and into the carburetor when the flange is abuttingly installed upon the carburetor. A scavenging air aperture (64) also extends through the thin-body flange and is spaced apart from the combustion air aperture. A valve assembly (76) is operatively coupled to the thin-body flange and has a valve element (78) positioned at the scavenging air aperture (64) for opening and closing the scavenging air aperture.
