Abstract: In a method for making available a selection of spacers (42-44) for implants, four production stages are used for the greater part of the spacer selection.  First, powder preparations (3-6) are chosen from among a number of possible powder preparations comprising titanium or metal powder, ceramic powder, plastic powder and/or alloy powder. In a second stage, the chosen powder preparations are placed in tools (12-15) with mould cavities for units (31-33) forming semi-finished products. In a third stage, the tools, with their powder-filled mould cavities, are placed in high-pressure-generating arrangements (21-23) in which the powders are compressed so that units with solid consistencies are formed. Finally, the units are mechanically worked to give the final shapes of the spacers, if appropriate after an intermediate stage of heat treatment in an oven (ovens).

Title: Optical fiber cable with single strength member in cable outer jacket
Inventor: WELLS BEN
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2000-07-21
Abstract: An optical fiber cable has a core with a bore which loosely contains optical fibers and includes a single strength member embedded in an outer jacket which surrounds the core. The strength member allows for relative ease of bending of the cable in directions other than the bending directions in the plane of minimum bending energy for the cable, such as bending in the plane of maximum bending energy (MAX-BP) for the cable, and provides that the neutral surface associated with bending of the cable in the MAX-BP is outside the bore core and within the outer jacket. The single strength member furthermore provides tensile strength and antibuckling properties to the cable during storage and in expected installations, including an aerial installation. The outer jacket is releasably coupled to the core to provide ease of access to the optical fibers contained within the core bore.

Abstract: Electrical current measurement transformers that convert electromagnetic fields generated by electrical currents (1) into elastic (mechanical) waves that are transmitted through a dielectric medium (3) to a receiver (4) that converts them once again into electrical signals. As an option, at the end, an electronic unit (5) amplifies and conditions these signals, whose magnitude is related to the current in the primary circuit. The invention is configured with different types of transformers depending on the type of magnetic field/force converter of the elastic waves (permanent magnet, ferromagnetic core, coil, or magnetostrictive material), and the forces that are transmitted (traction/compression, rotation, and flexion). While the magnetic field/force converters are made of materials that interact with the magnetic field, or coils with currents induced by the variations in the magnetic field, the receivers are made of piezoelectric material.

Abstract: A programmable gateway for processing protocol conversion for a virtual bearer channel platform (250). The platform includes a plurality of transaction processing units (TPUs) (525, 535). Each TPU (525, 535) processes service requests transmitted by a caller or transmits service requests to a destination called party. The platform has a distribution network (540) that interfaces with the TPUs (525, 535) and acts as a shared bus between the TPSs (525, 535). The platform (250) receives and transmits communications with a communications network over bearer channels (215) of a high bandwidth pipe. A  cross-connecting controller (510) multiplexes the signals coming into the platform (250) over the bearer channels (215) onto the distribution network (540), and also demultiplexes signals going out over the bearer channels (215) from the distribution network. A resource manager (560) provides a centralized control for the allocation of bandwidth to the transaction processing units (525, 535). The resource manager (560) allocates available bearer channels (215) for the connections with the communications network, (525, 535) and also allocates available time slots in the distribution network (540) to the TPUs (525, 535).

Abstract: A shearing and compacting press for the production of pressed parts from waste material.  Feed material is pre-compacted to the width of the package and subjected to intermediate compacting until the height of the package is reached. In a third compacting step, the final width or length of the package is carried out. The material is pre-compacted with a continuous force and optionally sheared until the first compressor reaches its final position. The second compressor is securely adjusted and guided to its end position on a parallel plane. Subsequently, the third compressor is guided in a position in which the first compressor frees the opening of the package chamber when the compressor is driven back. Finally, the compressors are subjected to a pressure that is lower than the maximum pressure available at the beginning of the working and return strokes.

IPC: G06F7/49
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating the square of a non-linear encoded signal including a value and a segment number comprises an offset generator, a multiplier and a shifter. The offset generator receives the value of the encoded signal and adds an offset value to it thereby to generate a multiplicand. The multiplicand is squared by the multiplier and the output of the multiplier is conveyed to the shifter. The shifter shifts the output of the multiplier in accordance with the segment number thereby to generate the square of the encoded signal. The offset, multiplying and shifting steps can be performed in a single clock cycle.

IPC: G01N27/41
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: A hydrogen gas sensor capable of accurately measuring hydrogen concentration of a measurement gas atmosphere in the presence of a variety of interfering gasses such as H2O and CO. In the hydrogen gas sensor, the flow sectional area of a diffusion-rate limiting portion 6 is rendered small; the electrode surfaces of first and second electrodes 3 and 4 are rendered large; and/or a solution containing a polymer electrolyte which may be identical to that of a proton-conductive layer 2 is applied onto the surfaces of the first and second electrodes 3 and 4 to thereby form a layer containing the polymer electrolyte. Thus, the rate of conduction of protons from the first electrode 3 to the second electrode 4 becomes greater than the rate at which protons are derived from hydrogen which is introduced onto the first electrode 3 via the diffusion-rate limiting portion 6.
