Inventor: TIHANYI JENOE DR
IPC: H03K17/082
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: The circuit uses a controlled gate resistance (4), e.g. a depletion MOSFET, for supplying the control signal to the power semiconductor gate, with a gate voltage limitation device connected between the gate and source of the power semiconductor device controlled via a protection circuit (8). The controlled gate resistance is switched into a high-ohmic condition upon activation of the protection circuit and is switched back to its low-ohmic condition upon de-activation of the latter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a recording
apparatus in which a recording medium is conveyed by a
driven rotary member (7) and a convey rotary member (6)
urged against the driven rotary member by a biasing
means (29) supported by a rockable support member (11),
so that an image is recorded on the recording medium
contacted with the driven rotary member by a recording
means (1) disposed at a downstream side of the convey
rotary member. Wherein, when the convey rotary member
is rotated in the recording medium conveying direction,
the support member is shifted toward a direction for
urging the convey rotary against the driven rotary
member, by a rotational force of a rotation drive
transmitting member (26) of the convey rotary member,
so that convey accuracy of the recording medium is
improved and the good recording is performed.

Abstract: A cartridge valve 116 includes a fixed disk 80 and a
movable disk 118 mounted in a housing 66. A lever 46
extends through a major opening 72 axially located at one
end of the valve 116. The lever 46 is attached to a coupler
130 for facilitating movement of the movable disk 118
relative to the fixed disk 80 to control the flow and
temperature of water passing through the valve 116. A
flexible valve 144 is attached to the coupler 130 and, in
normal use of the valve 116, prevents holes 136 formed
therethrough from communicating with a passage formed
through the movable disk 118. Air from the environment
surrounding the valve 116 can enter the major opening 72,
and upon the occurrence of a negative pressure in the water
supply, will flex the valve 144 to allow air to enter the
supply line to negate the undesirable effects thereof. In
another cartridge valve 160, holes 166 are formed through
the side wall of the housing 66 to provide further air
communication through the holes 136 of the coupler 130. In
still another cartridge valve 168, the lever 46 occupies the
major opening 72 to the extent that there is no effective
communication between the major opening and the holes 136
formed in the coupler 130. In this instance, the holes 166
formed in the side wall of the housing 66 provide the
communication between the holes 136 of the coupler 130 and
the environment surrounding the valve 116.

Title: Systeme chirurgical commande par moteur et procede correspondant adapte pour une commande moteur de degagement automatique
Inventor: KRAUSE KENNETH W
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 1997-04-04
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système chirurgical conçu pour fonctionner avec au moins un dispositif chirurgical, le système comportant une pièce à main contenant un moteur adapté pour recevoir le dispositif chirurgical. Ce dispositif est entraîné par l'arbre menant d'un moteur, via un continuum de positions. Un contrôleur microprogrammé assure la commande du système. Le moteur est pourvu de capteurs permettant de générer des signaux électriques de position, le contrôleur réagissant à des signaux d'entrée lui permettant de définir, non seulement une position d'arrêt, mais aussi une position de renversement de sens du dispositif chirurgical. De ce fait, le contrôleur est capable de lancer le fonctionnement du dispositif chirurgical au niveau de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler la position d'arrêt et d'arrêter le fonctionnement du dispositif chirurgical de façon qu'il reste en repos sensiblement en position d'arrêt. Lors d'un mode de fonctionnement alternatif, le contrôleur provoque également des renversements de sens aux positions de renversement de sens imposées par le système, et ce, sous la commande de l'utilisateur, à moins qu'il y ait détection d'une situation de blocage. Dans ce cas, le renversement de sens se produit le plus rapidement possible. Utilisé avec l'instrument coupant d'un endoscope d'arthroscopie, ce contrôleur permet au chirurgien de commander, par exemple, l'ouverture de l'orifice par lequel il débarrassera le site chirurgical des tissus et du fluide pendant les renversements de sens et à l'occasion des situations marche/arrêt.
