Inventor: WAUGH DAVID
IPC: G08B7/06
Filed: 1995-03-15
Abstract: Push button controlled wireless transmitters send digitally encoded signals to a plug-in receiver/signaling device. The receiver/signaling device has a microprocessor suitably programmed to respond to signals from a transmitter bearing the discrete address of the receiver, and to decode a transmitter identification code. Thereupon the microprocessor supplies an audio output circuit with signals to simulate selectively mechanical front or back door chimes, and supplies signals to energize a strobe lamp to emit bursts of multiple flashes, the number of flashes in a burst identifying the specific transmitter, whereby a person with a hearing deficiency is informed as to which transmitter is being actuated.

Abstract: A multipath channel apparatus for a data storage device wherein data is stored on a storage medium and is read from the storage medium by a transducer or for a data communications system wherein data is transmitted to a receiver. A data channel having a plurality of data paths is operatively connected to the transducer to receive data read from the storage medium by the transducer, or operatively connected to receive data demodulated by the receiver or base band data received by the receiver. Preferably, each of the data paths has a differing parameter value. An error checking unit checks customer and redundancy data from each of the data paths. A selecting unit, which is responsive to the error checking unit, selects data from one of the data paths. In a preferred embodiment, the data stored on a storage medium includes a data field and an error correcting code field, and the customer and redundancy data from each of the data paths is checked using a calculated error correcting code sydrome.

Abstract: Ce procédé d'oxydation catalytique partielle d'une charge d'hydrocarbures consiste à mettre en contact un mélange fourni comprenant une charge d'hydrocarbures, un gaz contenant de l'oxygène, ainsi que de l'azote, avec un catalyseur susceptible de catalyser l'oxydation partielle de la charge d'hydrocarbures, le mélange fournie comprenant en outre un composé contenant du soufre. Ce procédé permet de traiter des charges d'hydrocarbures contenant du soufre sans devoir d'abord les traiter pour enlever leur soufre. En conséquence, un procédé de préparation de monoxyde de carbone et/ou d'hydrogène à partir d'une charge d'hydrocarbures consiste dans une première étape à soumettre ladite charge à un processus d'oxydation catalytique partielle tel que décrit ci-dessus, puis à soumetre au moins une partie du produit de cette première étape à une seconde étape consistant en un processus de désulfuration.

Abstract: A prosthetic joint is described consisting of an acetabular cup (10) and a femoral component having a spherical head (12) of radius R1. The surface (14) of the socket in the acetabular cup (10) is defined by an "alpharabola". The alpharabola geometry is described by:  alpha x<2> + y<2> + z<2> = 2R2x, 0 <  alpha  < 1, where R2 is the desired minimum radius of curvature; x is a Cartesian coordinate representing distance from the point of minimum radius of curvature (30) along the normal to the surface at that point; and y and z are the remaining Cartesian coordinates. The alpharabola surfaces are surfaces of revolution about the x axis. When R2 is less than R1, a pool of fluid (22) is trapped at the pole of the apharabola and there is an annular contact ring (24) between the two surfaces (14, 16) which serves to trap the fluid. When R1 is equal to R2, in place of an annular contact ring (24), there is an enlarged contact area (26). Both arrangements contribute to more effective squeeze film lubrication and less wear on the two components (10, 12).

Abstract: Le dispositif d'application de pinces (10) objet de l'invention permet de résoudre le problème posé par les outils de l'état actuel de la technique, étant donné qu'il incorpore un mécanisme de serrage préalable, dont la fonction est de serrer au préalable le vaisseau à ligaturer à une dimension telle que le montant central du ressort de la pince de ligature (16) ne sera soulevé que légèrement. Ceci permettra de glisser la pince à ressort (16) au-dessus des dimensions réduites et serrées au préalable. De ce fait, le matériau de ressort de la pince restera à l'intérieur de sa limite d'élasticité et l'outil pourra conserver une caractéristique de faible dimension, de façon à l'utiliser en chirurgie endoscopique, même sur des vaisseaux présentant un diamètre important.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de préparation de macrobiomolécules non protéiques à forte charge négative liées à du plastique. Des macromolécules biologiques à forte charge négative telle que l'acide désoxyribonucléique (ADN), l'acide ribonucléique (ARN) et des glycosaminoglycanes (GAG) jouent un rôle crucial dans le fonctionnement cellulaire. En principe, une forte charge négative implique au moins une charge négative par pentasaccharide de la biomolécule dans la mesure où elle est composée de pentasaccharide. L'ADN et l'ARN comtiennent une charge négative par nucléotide. Les glycosaminoglycanes sont hétérogènes dans ce cas précis et peuvent contenir une à quatre charges négatives par disaccharide. L'invention concerne également le produit du procédé, notamment une plaque de microtitrage présentant des puits en plastique revêtus de macrobiomolécules non protéiques chargées négativement.
