Filed: 2003-07-29
Abstract: It is disclosed a method of applying a coating (12) with a controlled laser metal forming process. A light source with a specific power and a signal capturing apparatus is moved over an article (1) to form locally a melt pool (7) on the surface (5) of the article (1) to which a coating powder (8) is injected. An optical signal (13) is captured from the melt pool (7), and the monitored optical signal (13) is used for the determination of the temperature and temperature fluctuations of the melt pool (7). Furthermore, a control system (16) is used to adjust at least one process parameter such as the power of the light source to obtain desired melt pool properties.

Abstract: A surgical access device, such as a trocar (10), includes a pendent valve (4 0) having an elongate structure (50) extending from a proximal end to a septum valve (56) disposed at a distal end. In operation, the elongate structure (5 0) follows the angle of the instrument (21) to pre-position the septum valve (5 6) into the path of the instrument (21) where it is not significantly challenge d during instrument insertion or manipulation. The pendant valve (40) can be made to float at both the proximal end and the distal end of the elongate structure (50), to further reduce the vulnerability of the septum valve (56) . Since the valve (56) is less vulnerable to instrument insertion (21), it can be formed to minimize friction and maximize the functional range of the acce ss device.

Title: Detection, avoidance and/or correction of problematic puncturing patterns in parity bit streams used when implementing turbo codes
Inventor: PIETRASKI PHILIP J
IPC: H03M13/29
Filed: 2003-12-03
Abstract: Detecting, avoiding and/or correcting problematic puncturing patterns in parity bit streams used when implementing punctured Turbo codes is achieved without having to avoid desirable code rates. This enables identification/avoidance of regions of relatively poor Turbo code performance.  Forward error correction comprising Turbo coding and puncturing achieves a smooth functional relationship between any measure of performance and the effective coding rate resulting from combining the lower rate code generated by the Turbo encoder (600) with puncturing of the parity bits. In one embodiment, methods to correct/avoid degradations due to Turbo coding are implemented by puncturing interactions when two or more stages of rate matching (610, 620) are employed.

Title: Selective removal of volatile substances injected into a chromatographic packing filled column
Inventor: BERTRAND MICHEL
IPC: G01N30/46
Filed: 1995-06-23
Abstract: In the apparatus of the invention a flow of a carrier gas through a column is provided. A sample is provided in the column, and a temperature of a longitudinally short portion of the column is raised to a predetermined controlled high temperature at which volatile substances are released from the sample packing and are carried by the carrier gas. The column is cooled on each side of the short portion to a low temperature at which the volatile substances condense or adsorb on the column packing. By continuously moving the heated short portion from an inlet end to an outlet end of the packing in a direction of carrier gas flow the volatile substances selected by controlled high temperature are released.      Four particularly useful and advantageous applications can be identified for the invention. Firstly, it can be used to provide an improved gas chromatograph (GC) injector. Secondly, it can be used to provide an improved thermal separator or extractor. Thirdly, it provides an efficient way to analyze target compounds (Target Compound Analysis or TCA mode) suspected of being contained within a complex mixture by allowing for the GC analysis to be carried out only on those compounds or substances falling within the same or similar thermal desorption characteristics as those of the target compound. Lastly, by operating in a full time-coupled time-resolved (TCRC) mode, a complete three-dimensional analysis output can be obtained giving better power of separation of the analyzed sample, which is of particular importance when the substance to be analyzed is a complex organic material.
