Title: Steerable guidewire with soft adjustable tip
Inventor: PALERMO THOMAS J
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1989-07-25
Granted: 1992-12-08
Abstract: AZB/dmc STEERABLE GUIDEWIRE WITH SOFT ADJUSTABLE TIP               ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A steerable guidewire for guiding a catheter includes an elongate hollow shaft having a distal core wire mounted at its distal end.  The distal core wire tapers in a distal direction and has a flexible distal tip,  The core wire is received within a helical coil mounted to the distal end of the guidewire, the distal tip of the core wire being attached to the distal tip of the helical coil.  A pull wire extends the length of the guidewire through the hollow shaft and the helical coil and is connected, eccentrically, to the distal tip of the helical coil by a small diameter internal spring, the proximal and of which is attached to the distal end of the pull wire and the distal end of which is attached to the distal end of the helical coil. Pulling on the pull wire causes the distal tip of the guidewire to assume a curved configuration.  The resilience of the internal spring, however, permits the distal tip of the guidewire to assume a more straightened configuration even while the pull wire is tensioned whereby the distal tip of the guidewire may yield to conform to irregularities in a patient's vasculature.

Title: Food package with a microwave releasable sealed closure
Inventor: SIMON FREDERICK E
IPC: B65D53/00
Filed: 1989-08-18
Granted: 1999-01-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a food package useful for heating a food product in a microwave oven. The package has a tray with an opening for introducing the food product therein. Once the food has been introduced into the tray, the opening is sealed using a microwave releasable adhesive. The microwave releasable adhesive seal includes a microwave interactive material in close proximity to a heat-releasable resin containing a blowing agent. The microwave interactive material preferably is composed of metallic flakes which become hot when exposed to microwave energy. Consequently, when the package is heated in a microwave oven, the microwave interactive material becomes hot, causing the blowing agent to decompose and form a gas. The gas formation destroys the integrity of the seal between the tray and the closure, permitting the seal to be opened easily after heating in a microwave oven.
Patent CA-1338134-C (CA)
Title: Transparent coatings for graphics application
Inventor: IQBAL MOHAMMAD
IPC: C08L71/02
Filed: 1989-09-20
Granted: 1996-03-12
Abstract: This invention relates to transparent films for use in graphics applications, such as, for example, visual transparencies for overhead projectors.             One disadvantage of presently available ink-receptive layers for transparent films for pen plotters and ink jet printers is that their high level of sorption capacity leads to poor dimensional stability, which, in turn, leads to curling of the film whenever moisture content changes, either due to imaging, or due simply to changes in humidity or to drying out due to the heat encountered on the stage of an overhead projector.             Curl can be reduced by applying the same image receptive layer to both sides of the film, so that any expansion or contraction will be applied symmetrically to both sides of the film.  This adds to manufacturing cost, and still may not completely eliminate curl, especially in cases where moisture content differs on opposite sides of the film.             Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide an ink-receptive layer for transparent films that has good dimensional stability.             This invention provides a hydrophilic, polymeric blend which provides improved durability and reduced curl when used as an image-receptive layer on graphic arts films.  The blend comprises at least one water-absorbing, hydrophilic polymeric material, at least one hydrophobic polymeric material having acid functionality, and at least one polyethylene glycol.  The layer formed from the blend provides high sorption capacity combined with good physical integrity even when wet, along with dimensional stability.             The invention also provides sheets suitable for preparing visual transparencies having a backing bearing on at least one major surface thereof an image-receptive layer formed from the aforementioned blend.

Abstract: A device for severing round timber includes a rotatable circular saw and a transversal feeding device feeding round timber pieces towards the saw and for feeding cut sections of the timber from the saw towards the discharge end of the device. The feeding device includes a number of rotary conveying chains arranged in groups in the feeding direction at one side of the saw and at the opposite side of the saw. The conveying chains of two groups extend in the feeding direction such that they include an acute angle with each other and diverge from one another whereby timber sections cut off by the saw tend to move away from each other and, after being cut off, do not contact the saw teeth in the area of the saw blade.

Abstract: A computer system includes a page memory in which a row address accompanied by a row address strobe (RAS) is followed by a column address accompanied by a column address strobe (CAS) to read data from a memory location during a memory cycle. When, in a following memory cycle, a further location from the same page is to be accessed, the row address and the RAS remain constant and a new column address is used with the CAS being precharged by switching it to its OFF state and then returning it to its ON state. This is normally done at the start of the following memory cycle. In the present system, the data is read and latched shortly after arrival of the column address and CAS in the first of the memory cycles so that the CAS recharge can take place at the end of the first memory cycle and before the start of the following memory cycle.

Abstract: A battery charger for a portable wireless telephone set comprising a rapidly charging circuit for rapidly charging the battery by a first charging current of a high level at a start of the charging operation, a tricklingly charging circuit for tricklingly charging the battery by a second charging current of a considerably low level, and a charge controller for making the tricklingly charging circuit take over the rapidly charging circuit after a charge detecting circuit detects that the battery is rapidly charged to its normal voltage. In order to avoid that the battery is insufficiently charged by the tricklingly charging circuit when the telephone set is left in a power-on condition, the battery charger further comprises another charging circuit for supplying a third charging current which is lower than the first charging current but higher than the second charging current.  When the telephone set is in the power-on condition, the charge controller operates not the tricklingly charging circuit but the other charging circuit after the battery is rapidly charged to its normal voltage, so that the battery can be charged to the normal voltage even if the telephone set is left in the power-on condition.

Abstract: IMPLANTABLE ARTIFICIAL SPHINCTER SYSTEM                         Abstract This invention relates to an implantable artifi-cial sphincter system for reversibly occluding a body passageway, which system includes occlusion means, pump means, and the unique feature of a fluid capacitor disposed on a control assembly for the system, which is capable of increasing volume under fluid pressure.  The fluid capacitor is connected with the occlusion means in such fashion that said occlusion means will remain substantially inflated during short, but significant, pressure increases, but will at least partially deflate upon the advent of prolonged but moderate pressure increases on the body passageway.  While in its prefer-red embodiment no other fluid containing component is needed, if desired a volume compensator can also be included in the system.  A valve preferably of the magnetic type can also be included for activating or deactivating the system.
