Abstract: A valve mechanism (16, 24, 26, 44) for a needleless connector employs a deformable piston (44) having a piston head (24) of elliptical cross-section with a marquise-shaped bore formed along its longitudinal axis wherein the major axes of the respective generally elliptical shapes are oriented perpendicular to one another. The piston head (24) is captured within the connector housing (16, 14) and is reciprocable between a section of reduced diameter adjacent the connection port and a section (33) of enlarged diameter. Constraining the piston head (24) into the section of reduced diameter causes the elliptical bore to be squeezed shut while positioning the piston head (24) in the section (33) of enlarged diameter causes the piston head to relax and assume its natural elliptical shape, while the bore similarly regains its natural open shape to provide a fluid path therethrough. A compressible or extendible section (48) affixed to the piston head (24) serves to bias the piston into the section of reduced diameter. A tapered section (56) of the piston contacts the housing to keep the top of the piston flush with the top of the housing for ease of cleaning. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves using a binary input sequence (T) to produce a group of zeroes or ones which are placed between single zeroes or ones at each end of the group. The modulation is applied to an optical carrier so there is a phase difference introduced between the groups of zeroes. The phase differences introduced between groups of ones and zeroes are opposite to each other and regulated to less than 75 degrees of the normal.

Abstract: The broadcast data distribution system distributes directory and indexing information for the selection of viewing choices in broadcast and multicast networks with asymmetric uplink/downlink bandwidths. Examples of such systems include Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and Cable Television (CATV) systems. More particularly, a preferred embodiment of the invention co-locates shared directory resources at directory servers which can provide the benefit of technology improvement through storage multiplexing to directory clients, which are assumed to have smaller, more heterogeneous and slowly-evolving memory and processing resources. The directory information stored at the directory clients is a subset of the information maintained at the directory servers selected on the basis of subscriber interest. This system automatically constructs both a target profile for each target object (program) that is broadcast, as well as a "target profile interest summary" for each subscriber, which target profile interest summary describes the subscriber's interest level in various types of target objects. The system then evaluates the target profiles against the subscriber's target profile interest summaries to generate a subscriber-customized rank ordered listing of target objects most likely to be of interest to each subscriber, so that the subscriber can select from among these potentially relevant target objects, which were automatically selected by this system from the plethora of target objects available on the data distribution system.
