Abstract: The invention relates to the arrangement of a bipolar power transistor with the associated freewheeling diode in integrated circuits. A power transistor is divided into several parallel-connected individual transistors. The freewheeling diode also consists of parallel-connected individual diodes. An individual diode is arranged adjacently to each individual transistor. The terminals of both elements are connected in such a manner that they are supplied via the same power rails. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Blood collecting devices, known as phlebotomy tubes, comprise evacuated tubes which are inserted into a syringe to collect a blood sample. Known tubes have gripping means, for example a gripping outer surface, built into the tube to allow the desired manipulation of the tube to be carried out. However, the presence of any extensive gripping surface may get in the way of any subsequent processing of the sample whilst still in the tube. The problem is particularly acute when when the tube needs to be reduced in size. Described herein is an arrangement in which a removable handle (40) can be connected to a phlebotomy tube (39) for insertion into a patient and its subsequent removal. The handle (40) and the tube (39) are connected to one another by means of a pivot pin (52) formed in the handle (40) which engages with an aperture (50) formed in the tube (39). A hook end (62) is formed on a bayonet member (60) carried by the handle (40), which when the handle (40) is rotated relative to the tube (39) about the pivot pin (52), latches into a recess (72) formed in a latch groove (70) on the tube (39) to prevent separation of the handle (40) and tube (39) when axial force is applied to the combined device. The off-axis joining of the handle (40) to the tube (39) renders visually apparent when sufficient unlocking by rotation of the handle (40) has occurred.

Abstract: A polypectome snare whose loop comprises a pair of electrodes (40,42) mechanically joined but electrically insulated from one another at their distal ends and adapted to be energized by a source of RF voltage for excising polyps on the inside of a body cavity is described. The polypectome snare is designed to be used with an endoscope and includes three concentric flexible plastic tubes (12,20,21) each having proximal and distal ends and a lumen running the length thereof. At the proximal end is a hand grip (24) which is secured to the wires (40,42) leading to the bipolar electrodes. Two of the concentric flexible tubes are placed within an outermost third concentric flexible tube and extend the length thereof. Each of the wires passes through the lumen of one of the inner tubes, respectively. Alternatively, an extruded plastic, double-lumen tube may be used. The electrode wires pass individually through an associated one of the two lumens and the double lumen tube is itself concentrically disposed in the lumen of an outer sheath or tube. In this fashion, the wires remain insulated from one another over the length of the instrument and due to this same arrangement, the conductors comprising the bipolar electrodes cannot become twisted at the distal end of the implement to thereby create a short.

Abstract: A binary data array may be modified by scanning the array with a window in the form of a border (22) surrounding a central region (21). If the border values (22) are all the same, the central region pixels (21) take on a predefined value. Scanning takes place over separate sections of the border (22) and resultant values from tests of sections are combined to ascertain whether there is any difference from the predefined value. Special values are stored representative of groups of pixels (21) in each section of the border (22) for use in processing. This modification may be applied to binary images or masks to remove pinholes.

The sample melt is allowed to solidify while temperature changes per unit of time are recorded. The difference between the minimum temperature in the undercooling phase, the maximum temperature in the eutectic reaction phase, and the eutectic equilibrium temperature Te, are determined. To the base melt are added thermodynamically stable particles of the type spinels, oxides or oxysulphides of elements such as magnesium, aluminium, potassium, zirconium, strontium, titanium and rare earth metals when the difference between eutectic equilibrium temperature Te and the minimum temperature in the undercooling phase exceeds 10 DEG  K. and when the difference between Te and the maximum temperature in the eutectic reaction phase exceeds 5 DEG  K. If found suitable, these method steps are repeated until those differences fall beneath 10 DEG  K. and 5 DEG  K., respectively.

Abstract: Le dispositif de transport proposé, comprenant des véhicules à déplacement autonome porteurs de pièces, constitués par des wagonnets, et un réseau de rails à ramifications, vise à obtenir des durées de transport aussi courtes que possible. A cet effet, les informations relatives au déplacement et les signaux extérieurs sont enregistrés par l'intermédiaire de détecteurs (30, 52, 53)) et de moyens de connexion (50, 54) et transmis à un micro-ordinateur (10). Le micro-ordinateur est relié à un organe-moteur (12) et à un dispositif de freinage, et accélère, ralentit, et éventuellement propulse le wagonnet, de manière à avoir une durée de transport aussi courte que possible. Afin d'obtenir des accélérations/ralentissements aussi élevés que possible, le micro-ordinateur (10) calcule, à partir du comportement au démarrage d'un wagonnet, sa masse momentanée. En adaptant l'axe de réponse (27) du détecteur d'écartement (30) à chaque situation de fonctionnement, il est possible d'obtenir une succession dense des wagonnets. Une exploitation en fonction du temps, des signaux (31) transmis par le détecteur d'écartement (30) au micro-ordinateur (10), permet d'obtenir une accélération à peu près simultanée de plusieurs wagonnets qui se suivent. A partir d'une logique de succession, en fonction du temps, des signaux de déplacement et de commande parvenant au micro-ordinateur (10), ce dernier calcule l'emplacement d'un wagonnet dans un embouteillage, devant un point d'arrêt.
