Abstract: Grain defect scanning takes into account a broad set of data representing both wood grain structure and wood grain image to provide a multi-dimensional scan vector for an inspection point with wide variation therein relative to defect types. A library of similarly structured multi-dimensional training set vectors developed during a preliminary training session with known defect types is referenced by multivariate pattern recognition analysis to classify a collection of scan vectors associated with an article under inspection. By statistically matching scan vectors with training set vectors under pattern recognition analysis, physical locations on a wood article are identified according to known defect types.

Title: Surgical depth measuring instrument and method
Inventor: MAKOWER JOSHUA
IPC: A61B19/00

Granted: 1999-08-03
Abstract: A device for measuring the depth below skin level of a blood vessel that has been punctured in the course of a catheterization or other interventional vascular procedure comprises a tubular member (18) having a proximal end (20) and a distal end (22) portion that is preferably tapered to a small outer diameter. The lumen (24, 26) may have a stepped diameter extending between the proximal and distal ends (20) 22). A first portion of the lumen (26) is distally located and is of a diameter generally equal to the diameter of a guidewire with which the measuring device is used. The second segment of the lumen (24) is of a substantially larger diameter. A side entry port (32) is made through the wall of the tubular member (18) at the distal base of the larger diameter section of the lumen (24). Graduated markings on the side wall of the tubular member (18) extend from the side entry port (32) toward the proximal end (20) of the instrument. When the instrument is fed over a guidewire into a puncture wound formed through the skin and into an artery, the wall of the artery can be accurately located rolative to the skin's surface by noting the graduated markings on the exterior of the tube (18) at the point where blood flow enters the side entry port (32) and fills die larger diameter lumen (24).  Rather than having two coaxially disposed lumens as above, the tubular member may have a double lumen (32, 40), one extending the entire length for accommodating the guidewire and the other extending between the tube's proximal end and the side entry port (42).

Abstract: Un appareil chirurgical ultrasonique comprend un instrument chirurgical ultrasonique (10) ayant une pièce à main (14) avec un transducteur pour convertir un signal électrique en un mouvement longitudinal vibratoire d'une lame (20) connectée à la pièce à main et un accessoire (12) relié de manière libérable à la pièce à main pour permettre le pincement des tissus contre la lame vibratoire afin d'améliorer la coagulation et la coupe des tissus. Des pinces (26) semblables à des ciseaux actionnent une mâchoire pivotante de serrage (24) le long d'un côté de la lame (20) vibrante au moyen d'ultrasons pour comprimer et solliciter les tissus contre la lame dans une direction normale à la direction du mouvement vibratoire longitudinal. La mâchoire de serrage et la lame sont rotatives l'une par rapport à l'autre afin d'aligner un bord sélectionné de la lame d'une lame à bords multiples avec la mâchoire de serrage pour couper et coaguler tout en serrant, ou pour espacer circonférentiellement un bord sélectionné de la lame par rapport à la mâchoire de serrage afin de couper et coaguler sans serrer.

Abstract: A fork for a fork lift truck is attached to the typical mast mounted carriage by means of upper and lower hangers. Lateral adjustment of the position of the fork relative to the carriage involves engagement and release of a pin structure carried by the upper hanger. The upper hanger incorporates a pin which is vertically movable between a first position in which the pin engages slots in the upper mounting bar of the carriage and a second position in which the pin is recessed permitting lateral, relative movement between the fork and the carriage. A spring urges the pin to the first position where the pin engages slots in the carriage mounting bar. By lifting and turning the pin can be held in a second position so that the fork is slidable laterally along the carriage mounting bar.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a sausage product has an elongate, generally cylindrical housing and a generally annular cutter member. The housing has an axis, a circumferential side wall with radial inner and outer surfaces, and first and second axial ends. The housing defines a cutting chamber sized for receiving the sausage product, and the side wall includes a plurality of elongate, generally parallel axial slots extending therethrough. The slots are generally equally spaced from each other around the circumference of the side wall. The cutter member has an axial length and a curved inner circumferential surface with a diameter at least slightly greater than that of the outer surface of the housing side wall. The cutter member extends around and is coaxial with the housing, and includes a plurality of generally radially inwardly extending blades, where the blades are spaced from each other around the circumference of the cutter member so that each blade is generally aligned with and extends through one of the housing slots and into the cutting chamber. Accordingly, axial movement of the cutter member with respect to the housing results in a plurality of generally parallel axially extending cuts being made into the sausage product located within the cutting chamber.

Abstract: In packet data flow control wherein point-to-multipoint communication or point-to-point communication is performed in a network comprising one or a plurality of packet exchanges that respectively accommodate a plurality of communication terminals, reduction of the transmission bandwidth or lowering of transmission rate caused by local congestion is absorbed by providing buffers for absorbing difference between the transmission bandwidths of the upstream link and downstream links of these packet exchanges at each packet exchange. At the packet exchanges the transmission rate of the downstream links from the packet exchange is controlled in accordance with a first load data that is notified thereto from the downstream links and, if the difference of transmission bandwidth of the upstream link and downstream links cannot be absorbed by the buffer, a second load data is generated based on the first load data and the free capacity of the buffer and the upstream link of the packet exchange is notified of the second load data.
