Abstract: An artificial airway device for use in unconscious patients comprises a laryngo-pharyngeal mask including an expandable masking ring. The expandable mask sealingly surrounds the laryngeal inlet when expanded to obstruct communication between the laryngeal inlet and oesophagus. One or more airway tubes connected to the mask provide for fluid flow to a portion of the mask facing the laryngeal inlet when said mask sealingly surrounds the laryngeal inlet. A gastro-tube connected to the mask provides a fluid flow-path to the mask when the mask sealingly surrounds the laryngeal inlet. The distal end of the gastro tube passes through the masking ring at its narrower distal region where, when installed in a patient, it abuts against the oesophagus; and the distal portion of the gastro-tube flattens when the mask is deflated to facilitate smooth passage behind the larynx during insertion through the mouth and throat of the patient.

Abstract: Circuits and methods for interconnecting a live backplane and at least one I/O card are provided. This invention provides interconnection circuitry that utilizes buffer circuitry to connect the data and clock busses of the backplane to the data and clock busses of the I/O card in a "hot-swappable" fashion. Buffer circuitry also isolates the capacitance associated with the backplane from the capacitance associated with the I/O card. For example, when at least one signal is driven from the backplane to the I/O card, the signal need only overcome the capacitance associate with the backplane. Conversely, when at least one signal is driven from the I/O card to the backplane, the signal need only overcome the capacitance associated with the I/O card. Hence, this capacitive isolation facilitates signal propagation between the backplane and the I/O card ( Fig. 1 ).

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an ARQ method, especially a hybrid-ARQ-method, in order to carry out a reliable packet orientated data transfer, preferably, using a mobile radio system.  When requesting a transmission data packet for the bits of the retransmission data packet, a different rate adaptation model is used in comparison with the bits of corresponding originally sent data packets.  A particular advantage of said method is that the bit-rate adaptation is carried out by dividing the bits which are to be transferred into a plurality of partial bit flows (A-C) with respectively separate bit rate adaptation (21-23).

Abstract: The use of exogenic materials for replacing blood vessels carries the risk of thrombosis and is therefore particularly unsuitable for microsurgical applications (inner vessel diameters of 1-3 mm and less), or only suitable under certain conditions. Replacements of blood vessels with a very small lumen in particular require biomaterials which guarantee that the surfaces of the prosthesis that come into contact with the blood are of a very high quality, and which reliably avoid this kind of thrombosis adhesion. The biomaterial is produced by immersing shaped body walls, especially of a glass matrix consisting of a glass tube and glass body, in a container of an inoculated nutrient solution so that the inoculated nutrient solution is drawn into the area between the walls of the shaped body and cultivation takes place in a moist, aerobic environment. In each subsequent cultivation process, an unused shaped body (glass body) is used as the shaped body wall for shaping the surface of the prosthesis material that is to come into contact with the blood when the biomaterial is used. This is the only sure way of reproducing the high surface quality of the vessel prosthesis and hereby reliably preventing thrombosis adhesion on the biomaterial used. The inventive method is particularly suitable for microsurgical applications, especially for replacing blood vessels and other internal hollow organs or as a cuff for covering nerve fibres, etc.

Abstract: A source localising method comprises the steps of measuring the power received by a set of sensors and selecting N measurements from respective sensors, where N is an even number and at least four. N-1 different direct power ratios are constructed each derived from the N power measurements, with different numerators and denominators derived from respective halves of the measurements in each case. The construction of N-1 direct power ratios is facilitated by the use of a suitably constructed Hadamard matrix. Each direct power ratio may be converted with a logarithmic transformation into a linear combination of measured powers.

Abstract: Method for improved detection, comprising at least one threshold affinity catcher between sample and detection zone, for a reaction, of analytes, e.g. antigens, antibodies, receptors (or their ligands), DNA, RNA or other bioaffinity substances, in biological samples, using analytical elements, especially test strips.  Method for improved detection, based on affinity reaction, of analytes, e.g. antigens, antibodies, receptors (or their ligands), DNA, RNA or other bioaffinity substances, in biological samples, using analytical elements, especially test strips. The new feature is that, in addition to the usual coatings and configurations with complementary affinity molecules in the detection zone, there is, between the sample application and detection zones, at least one threshold affinity catcher (SAF) for a particular affinity reaction. The concentration of SAF eliminates the normal amount of analyte present in a healthy sample or environmental sample, or some other stipulated value, and (A) is positioned so that a visible reaction occurs in the detection zone only if the concentration of analyte exceeds the threshold defined by SAF. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Analytical element for real detection of high molecular weight analytes, especially using test strips that work on the sandwich principle;  (2) Analytical element for real detection of low molecular weight analytes, especially using test strips that work on the competitive principle; and  (3) Analytical element for real detection of both high and low molecular weight analytes, especially using test strips that work on a combination of the sandwich and competitive principles.

Abstract: Clamping device for a printing block on a printing cylinder (1) of a printing machine comprises a clamping rail (3, 4) moving in a cylinder channel and holding one end of a printing block. A pre-determined value of the clamping force exerted on the printing block is produced by spring elements (11). An operating device (7, 8) moves the clamping rail against the spring force. A manually operated tool moves the clamping rail over the pre-determined value to increase the clamping force. The clamping rail has a blocking device to maintain the increased clamping force set by the tool. The blocking action is produced by the movement effected by the tool and cancelled by activation of the operating device on exchanging the printing block so that after exchange and before further use of the tool the pre-determined value of the clamping force produced by the spring element acts exclusively on the new printing block. <??>Preferred Features: The blocking device (10) is a connecting rod hinged on the clamping rail and interacting with a clamping device (12) supported on the cylinder.

Abstract: This multipurpose manure spreading device enables the spreading of organic manure both backwards (11) and sideways (10) with respect to the spreading device (12). This is achieved by changing the positioning and direction of rotation of the rotors (4, 5, 6, 7) via an angle change assembly (8), which allows changes to the angle between the rotor carrier beam (9) and the casing for crushing rollers (3). When they are in the position for spreading manure backwards, the rotors (6,7 ) rotate in the opposite directions, while in the position for spreading manure sideways they rotate in the same direction. This enables optimum spreading of organic manure over a desired surface. <IMAGE>
