Abstract: A triangular wave generating circuit (21) generates a sweep voltage of a triangular wave, a VCO (22) generates a sweep of a frequency according to the sweep voltage, and a driving coil (4) is driven by the sweep voltage. From the current flowing through the driving coil (4), an interference component is extracted and rectified by a rectifier circuit (27). A peak hold circuit (28) holds a peak value of an interference voltage within a period corresponding to one sweep. The peak value thus held is compared by a comparator circuit (29) with a predetermined value and accordingly, a relay circuit (30) outputs a signal indicative of whether an object is present or not. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The adjustment device is mounted in a support unit fixed to the vehicle structure by fixings (53). Each fixing comprises two energy absorption caps (31,32) which are arranged and clamped in the support unit by assembly means. These assembly means comprises a retaining rod (41) with a shoulder (48) at one end and a threaded part at its other end which receives a nut (51) in order to clamp the required value to the energy absorption caps on the support unit. The adjustment of the clamping of the assembly is thus independent of the value of the clamping of the fixing of the support unit on the vehicle structure.

Abstract: Arrays of biological tissue can be created by removing cores from regions of interest in a series of donor blocks (16) of embedded tissues. The cores removed are placed in a regular array in a recipient block (15). This is typically done with two different punches, one for obtaining the cores of interest and the other for creating the receiving holes in the recipient block (15). The present invention comprises such a system including two separate z axes, one for each punch. Each punch has its own stylet and the axis of each punch is parallel to the axis of its drive. Alternatively, the invention is made by providing a single z axis, with a mechanism for automatically changing two or more punches in and out of a holder on the z axis.

Abstract: A mitral heart valve annuloplasty ring having a posterior bow that conforms to an abnormal posterior aspect of the mitral annulus. The ring may be generally oval having a major axis and a minor axis, wherein the posterior bow may be centered along the minor axis or offset in a posterior section. The ring may be substantially planar, or may include upward bows on either side of the posterior bow. The ring may include a ring body surrounded by a suture-permeable fabric sheath, and the ring body may be formed of a plurality of concentric ring elements. The ring is semi-rigid and the posterior bow is stiff enough to withstand deformation once implanted and subjected to normal physiologic stresses. The ring elements may be bands of semi-rigid material. A method of repairing an abnormal mitral heart valve annulus having a depressed posterior aspect includes providing a ring with a posterior bow and implanting the ring to support the annulus without unduly stressing the attachment sutures.

Abstract: A medication delivery pen is provided having a lead screw with an enlarged portion at a first end thereof and an end longitudinally opposite the first end in contacting engagement with a plunger of a medication cartridge. The lead screw is selectively axially displaceable by a user when selectively administering a predetermined dosage amount of medication for injection into a patient. The medication delivery pen also includes a driver coaxially disposed about the lead screw; and, a reset ring non-rotatably disposed on the driver and axially slidable thereon and therealong. The reset ring is axially movable with respect to the driver when a dosage amount is set by a user of the medication delivery pen. The reset ring engages the enlarged portion of the lead screw upon a predetermined extent of relative axial movement between the reset ring and the lead screw. With this arrangement, the reset ring advantageously prevents setting a dose on a medication delivery pen that is greater than the medication which is available.
