Title: Split pressure ring for lancing device and method of operation
Inventor: FLORA BRUCE A
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2002-03-06
Granted: 2005-05-05
Abstract: A pressure ring for a lancing device for holding open a skin puncture while collecting a blood sample includes a collar that fits onto the end of a lancing device. A skirt is provided on the collar and a flared portion depends from the skirt. At least one axial slit is formed in the skirt. The pressure ring is made of a flexible material such as polypropylene such that when the lancing device with a pressure ring is placed on a person's skin and pressure is applied, the slits spread apart stretching the skin for a puncture by a lance in the lancing device. Once a puncture has been made, the pressure ring holds the puncture wound open to allow bleeding. Removing the lancing device from the puncture site releases the skin allowing the puncture would to close.

Title: Fluorescent lamp ballast for pulsed-mode operation
Inventor: SPIEGEL NORBERT
IPC: H05B41/392
Filed: 1992-07-10
Granted: 1994-10-20
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/01566 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 12, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 12, 1993 PCT Filed Jul. 10, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/01695 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 21, 1993.The application relates to a ballast for the pulsed-mode operation of gas discharge lamps (EVG) and a use of a self-excited or externally controlled half or full bridge circuit for the same purpose. An EVG of the mentioned kind has a buffered feed d.c. voltage (Udc, udc) from which the utilized power for the GE lamp or GE lamps can be derived. The load circuit in which the GE lamps are provided has a series-connected choke (L1), if necessary a capacitor (C1) can be connected in parallel to the lamp for ignition purposes. Such a circuit is to be so configured that it is possible to change the characteristic light values, i.e. the light output and the color temperature of the gas discharge lamps (GE). This is to be realized without mechanical choke switching and is achieved in that at least one electronic switching element (S1) or at least one such switching element pair (S1, S2, S3, S4) are provided which supply the choke (L1) and the GE lamp periodically with voltage pulses (uac). The switching element pairs and the voltage pulses (uac) can be frequency modulated (f1, f2) by way of a control signal (f). This frequency modulation can take place stepwise with alternative frequencies or continuously periodically (sine-like) so that a continuous change in the frequency occurs and no disturbing or standing waves which cause optical flickering form in the GE lamp.

Title: Ecg electrode afixed with vacuum seal to skin
Inventor: LUNDBACK STIG
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 1984-10-25
Granted: 1988-07-07
Abstract: The invention relates to an electrode intended, for example, for electrocardiogram examinations, and capable of being held in position by suction. Vacuum conditions are created through a hose or tube (8), through which a measuring conductor (7) is drawn. The electrode comprises an inflexible backpiece (3), an intermediate component (2) made of an elastomeric material, and an electrode plate (1), preferably made of a silver-coated plastics. The intermediate component (2) includes a relatively inflexible sealing ring (9) which, in the operative state of the electrode, supports against the skin of a patient via a sealing lip (13) and against the opposing side of the backpiece (3). The electrode plate (1) is firmly connected to the backpiece, while the sealing ring carried by the intermediate component (2) is movable and can be readily sprung away from the backpiece (via resilient means 17). When no load is exerted on the lip-side of the ring and the ring is thus urged outwardly, a vacuum valve is closed automatically through the intermediate component (2), and is re-opened when the electrode is pressed against the surface of the skin, whereupon the electrode is held firmly by suction.

Title: Apparatus for controlling molten metal flow in a tundish
Inventor: SCHMIDT MANFRED
IPC: B22D11/11
Filed: 1995-10-16
Granted: 1999-05-27
Abstract: Flow control apparatus for enhancing inclusion float out in a continuous caster tundish comprising a dam positioned downstream from an impact pad and an energy source positioned between the dam and the exit nozzle of the tundish. The dam receives an incoming flood of molten metal released from the impact pad and redirects the flood of molten metal into multiple sub-flow currents which carry entrained inclusions toward a slag cover on the surface of the molten metal bath to enhance inclusion float out. The energy source provides means to restore kinetic energy to the sub-flow currents and increase the number of passes below the slag cover, thereby further enhancing inclusion float out.

Inventor: TANAKA MASAYOSHI
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 1995-12-01
Granted: 1999-03-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus includes a geometry transfer engine (GTE) 61 acting as a coordinate transforming means for converting three-dimensional image data of TMD format into two-dimensional image data by perspective view transformation, and a graphics processing unit (GPU) 62 acting as a drawing means for transferring the two-dimensional image data in a given transmission standard to draw an image on a two-dimensional display screen. A structure of the three-dimensional image data, excluding the information to be perspective view transformed, is arranged identical to that of the given transmission standard of the two-dimensional image data. Accordingly, in the GTE 61, the information to be perspective view transformed is discriminated from the other data of the three-dimensional image data wherein the structure is identical to that of the given transmission standard of the two-dimensional image data, subjected to the perspective view transformation, and is combined with the other data wherein the structure is identical to that of the given transmission standard for production of the two-dimensional image data. An original format file including data to be transformed is thereby easily converted into a file having a new format. <IMAGE>

Date Dec. 23, 1993A laser engraving head (6) for use in preparing a medium for a printing process includes a deflector (AOM). The deflector, which may be an acousto-optic modulator, deflects the laser beam which is focused by a lens (L) onto the surface of the medium. The lens (L) may be arranged telecentrically with respect to the deflected laser beams so that the exit pupil (P) defined by the range of deflected beams is located at the back focal plane of the means for focusing. A number of interchangeable beam expanders (20) may be provided mounted within the head and moveable so that one of the expanders is brought into the path of the beam to provide a desired cell size. Control circuits for the head may modify the control signal applied to the deflector compensate for variations as a function of deflection angle in the cell size produced on the medium. Where the deflector is formed on a material, such as germanium, which is subject to thermal run-away, then the head may include sampling optics which deflect a portion of the beam upstream of the deflector and a power sensor which receives the deflected beam and is monitored to detect the incidence on the deflector of optical power exceeding a predetermined threshold.
