Abstract: The present invention relates to an alternating-current power supply device which can improve a power factor of an alternating-current load, realizes low cost and miniaturization, and recovers magnetic energy. The alternating-current power supply device includes a bridge circuit composed of four reverse conducting semiconductor switches, a capacitor that is connected between direct-current terminals of the bridge circuit and absorbs the magnetic energy at the time of cutting off the current, an alternating-current voltage source that is connected to the induction load in series and is inserted between alternating-current terminals of the bridge circuit, and a control circuit that gives a control signal to gates of the respective reverse conducting semiconductor switches and controls on/off states of the respective reverse conducting semiconductor switches. The control circuit simultaneously controls the on/off operation of the paired reverse conducting semiconductor switches positioned on a diagonal line of the four reverse conducting semiconductor switches composing the bridge circuit, makes a control so that when one pair of the two pairs is ON, the other pair is OFF, and switches the control signal in synchronization with a voltage of the alternating-current voltage source.

Abstract: An earth-boring bit comprising a bit body is configured at its upper end for connection into a drillstring. A fixed blade depends axially downwardly from the bit body. An axially extending slot is formed in the bit body adjacent the fixed blade. A bit leg is received and retained in the slot by engagement between the slot and correspondingly shaped bit leg, wherein the bit leg cannot be removed from the slot except by axial movement relative to the bit body. A rolling cutter is secured to the bit leg at its lower extent. A fastener secures the bit leg against movement relative to the bit body and extends through oblong apertures in the bit leg and into the bit body, wherein the bit leg can be moved axially relative to the bit body to adjust the projection of the rolling cutter relative to the fixed blade. The slot defines a pair of generally opposed sides connected by a third side, the generally opposed sides being inclined toward one another to define a dovetail that corresponds with the shape of the bit leg. The bit body further comprises a shank that is configured for connection into the drillstring at its upper extent and has a generally cylindrical receptacle formed in its lower extent; and a bit body portion having a generally cylindrical upper extent, the receptacle being and dimensioned to receive the upper extent of the bit body, wherein the shank and bit body portions are secured together by welding.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un composant triple grille ou multigrille présentant l'effet tunnel de la mécanique quantique. Ce composant comprend au moins deux électrodes tunnel situées sur un substrat et séparées par un espace que les électrons peuvent traverser par effet tunnel. Selon l'invention, le composant comprend un moyen pour soumettre un espace à un champ électrique de ce type, de sorte que le trajet parcouru par un électron entre les électrodes tunnel par effet tunnel est allongé suite à la déflexion provoquée par ledit champ. En général, un moyen peut également être prévu pour soumettre ledit espace audit champ électrique, ledit champ présentant une composante de champ qui s'étend perpendiculairement à la direction du courant de tunnel, entre les électrodes tunnel, et parallèlement au substrat. Comme le courant de tunnel entre les électrodes tunnel dépend exponentiellement de la distance parcourue par les électrons dans ledit espace, un champ électrique de ce type présente un facteur d'amplification inverse élevé par rapport à la probabilité de tunnel et donc, au courant de tunnel à commander. Un tel composant peut agir en tant que transistor à forte amplification et à commutation très rapide, sans devoir être nécessairement semiconducteur.

Inventor: SWAYZE JEFFREY S
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2006-02-06
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti-backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.
