Inventor: MALENTACCA AUGUSTO DR
IPC: A61C3/02
Filed: 1996-06-15
Abstract: The drill bits, for dental root canal operations, are of the Gates type. Each drill bit has a shaft (11a-16a) which ends in a cutting head (11b-16b) with a spiral groove and cutting edge at one end and a shank (11c) at the other. The diameter of the cutting head and the length of the drill bit shaft vary from one bit to the next, which the cutting head increasing in diameter as the shafts get shorter. The length of the drill bit shafts vary in a geometrical progression, while the diameters of the cutting heads vary in an arithmetical progression. Additionally, at least some of the drill bit shafts have marks (3) to indicate the drilling depth.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for modifying an odometer reading in a vehicle navigation system to compensate for odometer errors. A first distance measurement is obtained from the odometer, and a second distance measurement is obtained from at least one other sensor. The difference between the first and second distance measurements is determined and an adjustment amount is generated in response thereto. A modification factor is then adjusted by the adjustment amount, the modification factor being for modifying the odometer reading. The odometer reading is then modified with the modification factor. A method and apparatus for selecting a pulse rate setting in a vehicle navigation system to correspond to a pulse rate associated with the odometer are also described. A first distance measurement is obtained from the odometer and a second distance measurement is obtained from at least one other sensor. The difference between the first and second distance measurements is then determined. The pulse rate setting is changed to correspond to the odometer pulse rate if the difference is greater than a threshold level, and is left unchanged if the difference is less than the threshold level.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour un dispositif implantable comprenant un convertisseur analogique/numérique pour convertir des électrogrammes (comme par exemple des électrocardiogrammes) en codes numériques qui peuvent être enregistrés dans une mémoire. Le convertisseur A/N réalisé selon la présente invention permet d'économiser considérablement l'énergie en minimisant le nombre de cycles d'horloge requis pour déterminer le code numérique correct pour un point d'échantillonnage particulier sur un signal d'un électrogramme, ce qui permet de couper une partie ou la totalité des logiques du convertisseur A/N durant les périodes d'inactivité. Le convertisseur A/N comporte une logique de prédiction qui fournit un point de départ pour la recherche subséquente de la valeur du code numérique correct. La logique de prédiction reçoit des valeurs de conversion de codes récents qu'elle utilise pour prédire la valeur du code numérique en cours. Le code numérique prédit est converti en une valeur analogique et comparé avec une tension réelle d'un électrogramme pour déterminer si la prédiction est au-dessus ou en dessous de la représentation correcte du code. Ensuite, le convertisseur A/N ajoute (ou soustrait) une valeur constante (C) au (ou du) code prédit et compare le résultat à la tension réelle de l'électrogramme. Quand le convertisseur A/N détermine que la valeur prédite est dans les limites de la valeur constante (C) du code numérique correct, il effectue le comptage dans la propre direction correcte (déterminée par la première comparaison) jusqu'à ce que le comparateur change son état de sortie, pour indiquer que le code correct est trouvé. Quand le convertisseur A/N détermine que la valeur prédite n'est pas dans les limites de la valeur constante correcte (C) du code numérique correct, la logique d'approximations successives est validée et utilisée pour trouver le code correct. La valeur constante (C) étant choisie de sorte qu'elle soit à peu près égale au nombre de cycles d'horloge nécessaires au circuit d'approximations successives pour déterminer le code correct, la présente invention permet, en moyenne, de déterminer le code correct nettement plus rapidement que cela n'était possible avec une logique d'approximations successives uniquement.

Title: Apparatus and method for waste recycling and conversion
Inventor: VOGT GREGORY M
IPC: B07B4/08
Filed: 1996-11-29
Abstract: Municipal solid waste is classified as to density as well as size in a perforated inclined trommel through which a gas stream is flowed inwardly through the perforations and downwardly to entrain and remove paper and plastics through the lower end. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are removed from the residue which is digested anaerobically in two stages with an intermediate steam explosion treatment to expose cellulose fibers coated with lignin. Mercury is removed as a vapor phase in an initial stage of the steam heating and is condensed and collected. The solids phase of the anaerobic digestate is acidified to solubilize heavy metals which are recovered by electrodeposition from the solution. The depleted residue is neutralized and disposed of.

Abstract: Two or more separated calibration fluids are used for calibration of a gas sensor. The predetermined calibration fluid is taken from a gas impermeable container. A gas to be measured is dissolved in the calibration fluid with different partial pressure. Fluid transport between a fluid and a gas phase is used to generate a calibration value. A gas phase is used such that a partial pressure difference occurs between the gas dissolved in the calibration fluids. Air is used as a gas phase. The sensor generates a measurement value which is the logarithm of the dissolved gas concn. The log of the concn,. is a liner function of the pH value of the calibration fluid.

Abstract: A plurality of LSI circuits including image processing
LSI circuits operable in synchronism with a control
clock signal from a clock generator are mounted on a graphic
board. Temperature sensors are associated with those of the
LSI circuits which give off a larger amount of heat than the
other LSI circuits. Detected temperature signals from the
temperature sensors are supplied to a temperature monitoring
microcomputer, which determine respective temperatures of
the corresponding LSI circuits based on the supplied detected
temperature signals. The temperature monitoring microcomputer
determines whether a highest one of the determined
temperatures is higher than a first threshold value
and a second threshold value which is greater than the first
threshold value. If the temperature is higher than the
first threshold value and lower than the second threshold
value, then the temperature monitoring microcomputer issues
a warning signal to a main CPU to suppress overheating of
the LSI circuits. If the temperature is higher than the
second threshold value, then the temperature monitoring microcomputer
issues a clock disable signal to disable the
clock generator.

Abstract: The receiver has an input for amplitude sampled signals, and a non-linear amplifier. There is a low pass filter feedback circuit between the output of the amplifier and the input, for feedback of a low frequency component. The working point of the non-linear amplifier is shifted in the direction corresponding to a reduced amplification, when a signal, which is not an amplitude modulated signal, is received at the input.

Abstract: A capacitive structure on an integrated circuit and a

useful in random-access memory devices. Generally, the method of
the present invention comprises the steps of forming a
substantially vertical temporary support 54 (preferably by
forming a cylindrical aperture in an insulating layer) on a
semiconductor substrate 10 and forming a substantially vertical
dielectric film 32 (preferably a high dielectric constant
perovskite-phase dielectric film, and more preferably barium
strontium titanate) on a temporary support 54. The method
further comprises depositing a first conductive (e.g. platinum)
electrode 60 on substantially vertical dielectric film 32, and
subsequently replacing temporary support 54 with a second
conductive (e.g.platinum) electrode 64, such that a thin film
capacitor 44 which is substantially vertical with respect to
substrate 10 is formed. The entire capacitor is essentially
self-aligned, such that some embodiments require only one
lithography step to complete the capacitor. Also, an advantage
of this method is that a high temperature, high oxygen activity
dielectric deposition may be completed prior to formation of
either electrode, thus greatly simplifying both electrode
structure and processing.
