Abstract: The invention is a method, reagent, test cartridge and device for the determination of fibrinogen in a sample, such as undiluted blood and blood plasma. The method utilizes a reagent comprising thrombin and a thrombin inhibitor that slows the enzymatic conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, and thus slows clotting in samples. This is particularly useful for determining fibrinogen in undiluted blood and blood plasma. Fibrinogen assay reagents comprising at least one thrombin inhibitor and thrombin, and test cartridges containing the reagents for automated analysis of fibrinogen are disclosed, along with automated devices using said reagent and test cartridges for the devices. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for cancelling an echo signal. An input waveform is provided to an acoustic processor, and a determination is made whether the input waveform includes information representative of an echo signal. If the input waveform includes information representative of an echo signal, an output waveform is formed by attenuating a residual waveform with the acoustic processor. The residual waveform is attenuated by an attenuation factor that gradually changes from an initial attenuation value to a final attenuation value during the attenuation step. A system and method for adjusting an acoustic signal from a muted state to an unmated state by varying an attenuation factor applied to an acoustic signal by an acoustic processor. The acoustic signal is provided to an acoustic processor. An output waveform is formed from the acoustic processor by adjusting the attenuation factor from a muted state to a first attenuation value associated with the non-muted state. After the attenuation factor is adjusted to the first attenuation value, the output waveform is formed by gradually changing the attenuation factor from the first attenuation value to a second attenuation value. The input waveform is attenuated by a smaller amount when the second attenuation value is applied to the acoustic signal than when the first attenuation value is applied to the acoustic signal.

Dans la région distale de l'instrument, on trouve un ensemble d'agrafage (4) comprenant un dispositif chargeur (6) qui renferme au moins une rangée fermée d'agrafes, et une enclume (8). Cette enclume (8), qui peut se déplacer par rapport au dispositif chargeur (6), coopère avec ledit dispositif pour donner leur forme aux extrémités des agrafes à leur sortie du dispositif chargeur (6). Un couteau à bord tranchant fermé logé dans le dispositif chargeur (6) est disposé de telle manière qu'il y ait au moins une rangée fermée d'agrafes à l'extérieur du bord tranchant. Ce couteau peut être rapproché de l'enclume (8).
