Patent EP-1093224-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WIRTH PETER
IPC: H03K5/1536
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: The device detects pulses by detecting a switching point close to the null crossing of a pulse signal and has a comparator (31) whose one input receives the electrical pulse signal and whose other input receives a reference voltage close to null and a logic unit (35) with a signal input connected to the comparator output. The logic unit samples the comparator output at a defined sampling rate and generates an internal activation signal if several valid sample values exist so that a pulse detector output signal (STOP) is generated if the pulse signal falls below the reference voltage (URef1) and an activation signal is present. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of detecting sinusoidal pulses and a magnetostrictive position sensor with a pulse generator.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, the power
consumption can be reduced by controlling the luminance
of a backlight, without degrading operability of the
apparatus. In the information processing apparatus
having an LCD (18) with a backlight (26), a CPU (10)
alters the luminance of the backlight (26) in
accordance with a content of a process (application
program) to be executed, or a display content of
information on the LCD (18). Where it is not necessary
that the display content on the LCD (18) be presented
to the user in such a way that the display content may
easily and clearly viewed by the user, the luminance of
the backlight is decreased to save power consumption.

Abstract: A main control section 1 is connected through a synchronous signal
line 8 to a coin distinguishing control unit 2 and a bill
distinguishing control unit 3, and is connected through a
synchronous signal line 9 to a customer service control unit 4 and
a vending control unit 5. As a result, according to an indication
by the main control section 1, the coin distinguishing control unit
2 and the bill distinguishing control unit 3 communicate with the
main control section 1 at a speed of 4800bps when the synchronous
signal line 8 is activated, and the customer service control unit
4 and the vending control unit 5 communicate with the main control
section 1 at a speed of 19200bps when the synchronous signal line
9 is activated. The synchronous signal line 8 for the coin
distinguishing control unit 2 and the bill distinguishing control
unit 3 and the synchronous signal line 9 for the customer service
control unit 4 and the vending control unit 5 are independent of
each other, whereby both can not be responsive simultaneously, and
such defect that the subordinate control units having different
communication speed in the subordinate control section are
erroneously responsive can be prevented.

Title: Method and device for producing oligomers and arrays of oligomers and the use of said device
Inventor: ADAMSCHIK MARIO
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2000-11-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing oligomers and arrays of oligomers, whereby the synthesis procedure is expanded by an additional neutralisation step. This allows the protecting groups to be split without any carry over, enabling the oligomers to be de-protected in precisely defined positions on the support material. A novel microelectromechanic device is used for said method, which enables exact addressing on a support material in the form of mono or multi-dimensional arrays by the integration of reaction chambers (13) and several liquid metering elements (1, 4, 5, 7, 8) in a chip. The invention aims to provide a method of creating oligomers or arrays of oligomers which are positioned in a precise manner in a small area, which has a minimal error rate during the creation of oligomer sequences as a result of the neutralisation step and its corresponding prevention of the distribution of the de-protection agent to positions which do not require de-protection. In addition, the device aims to permit the rapid production of oligomers and arrays thereof in a cost-effective manner.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des dispositifs orthopédiques, utilisés pour appliquer une tension ou une compression sur des tissus biologiques et pour faciliter des interventions chirurgicales. Divers aspects de cette invention concernent une fixation à écrou de vis-mère, un boulon de tension, un écrou de suture, un boulon à aile de pivot et une vis à impact transversal. Chacun de ces dispositifs permet de réduire le temps de chirurgie, d'améliorer la fiabilité de la position du tissu et de simplifier les interventions chirurgicales, par comparaison avec les dispositifs connus. L'écrou de vis-mère est utilisé en association avec de nombreuses fixations implantables, utilisées dans des dispositifs orthopédiques. L'écrou de vis-mère, qui présente deux moitiés, coulisse vers le bas sur une tige filetée, jusqu'à ce qu'une bague entourant les deux moitiés les appuie l'une contre l'autre. L'écrou de vis-mère est ensuite rapidement vissé fermement sur la tige filetée. L'ensemble boulon à aile de pivot est utilisé pour bloquer une extrémité d'une tige filetée dans la cavité ou la moelle d'un os fracturé. Conjointement avec l'écrou de vis-mère ou tout autre écrou, le boulon à aile de pivot est utilisé pour fixer l'os fracturé. L'écrou de suture est utilisé pour minimiser le temps de chirurgie, en évitant le besoin de réaliser des noeuds à la main dans une suture utilisée lors de la chirurgie. Conjointement avec une suture, l'écrou de suture est particulièrement utile pour fermer des incisions dans des tissus. L'écrou de suture maintient la suture à l'endroit souhaité, évitant un glissement de la suture après fermeture de l'incision et évitant le besoin de réaliser un noeud dans la suture. La vis à impact transversal est utilisée pour améliorer la zone de contact entre un greffon ligamentaire et l'os avoisinant, lors de la fixation du ligament à un os. Une fois que le ligament est drapé sur la vis, la vis est tournée dans une première direction, afin de forcer le ligament sur une surface d'un os auquel le ligament s'attachera pendant la guérison.
