Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic use includes a proximal portion that is manipulated external to a patient to position an attached elongate shaft and end effector to a desired surgical site inside of the patient. An articulation joint pivotally attaches the end effector to the elongate shaft to give further clinical flexibility in reaching tissue at a desired angle. A closure tube assembly includes a single pivoting portion that overrides the articulation joint in order to distally translate to the end effector to close, yet pass over an articulated shaft by having a multiple pivot frame ground encompassed therein to accommodate the longitudinal change in closure sleeve pivot. Thereby, additional clinical flexibility in positioning the end effector is achieved without losing the ability for separate closure and firing motions transferred by the shaft.

Abstract: The amount of strain occurring in side edges of a belt layer is maintained at a sufficiently small level despite an increase in the width of a narrow belt layer on the inner layer side necessitated by a requirement. As a result, separation of the belt layer and, in turn, a belt is effectively prevented. The pneumatic tire for a heavy load has two inner layer-side narrow belt layers (1B, 2B) and two outer layer-side wide belt layers (3B, 4B) having a greater width than the narrow belt layers, and the narrow and wide belt layers are sequentially arranged on the outer circumferential side of a crown region of a radial carcass (5). Side edge sections of the narrow belt layer (1B), the innermost layer, are convexed radially outward.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma reaction apparatus and a plasma reaction method of a persistent gas. More particularly, the present invention relates to a plasma reaction apparatus which is applied to the reforming of fuel by generating rotating arc plasma and using the rotating arc being generated, the chemical treatment of a persistent gas, and a plasma reaction method using the same.  For this purpose, a raw material for a reaction is allowed to flow through an inflow hole in a swirl structure so that the raw material forms a rotating flow to progress. Accordingly, the raw material is sufficiently reacted in a plasma reaction space of a restrictive volume, and a high temperature plasma reaction is more promptly performed. Furthermore, a plasma reaction zone is expanded, prior to discharge, by a broad area chamber formed as the width of an upper part of a furnace is expanded, and plasma being generated is expanded and stayed as a pointed end spaced from an electrode at a predetermined interval is formed at an expanded end. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a plasma reaction apparatus and a plasma reaction method of a persistent gas, and an apparatus decreasing NOx by an occlusion catalyst, all of which are capable of excluding the discontinuity of the plasma reaction zone.

Abstract: A method for path computation in a label switched network is proposed. A stateful path computing element stores in a traffic engineering database topology and resource information about the label switched network. The path computing element receives a path computation request from a path computation client and computes a path serving this request using the topology and resource information. It transmits then a path computation reply to the path computation client including the computed path. The path computation client returns then to the path computing element an acknowledgment indicating whether it has used the proposed path to set up a label switched path or not. This link state information can then be used by the path computing element for future path computations.
