Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical instrument (10) is provided having a handle assembly (12), an elongate body portion (18), and a tool mechanism (80). The body portion comprises an outer tubular member (20) and an inner rod member (22) coaxially slidable within the outer tubular member. Attached to a distal end of the body portion is the tool mechanism (80). The tool mechanism includes pivotally connected jaw members (82, 84) operatively connected to the inner rod member for movement by the handle assembly between open and closed positions. Each jaw member is fabricated from insulating material and is provided with a conductive pathway (62, 64). The conductive pathways are positioned to permit sparking between the pathways when the jaw members are open. As the jaw members are approximated, the insulating jaw member material blocks the electrical path between the conductive pathways to terminate electrical treatment of tissue positioned between the jaw members.

Abstract: Magnetic separations are made by feeding material to a magnetic separator having elongated ferromagnetic bodies that are disposed parallel to each other with spaces therebetween, the bodies being disposed at an angle to the magnetic field direction. The magnetic particles are deflected away, while the nonmagnetic particles pass through the spaces between the ferromagnetic bodies. In one embodiment, the separator includes a magnetic circuit including an array of elongated ferromagnetic bodies, parallel to each other with spaces therebetween, and on the same side of a common tangential plane that is positioned at an angle to the direction of the field created by the magnetic system. The separator also includes a material feeder, means for collecting nonmagnetic product mounted on the opposite side of the common tangential plane array, means for collecting magnetic product, and liquid supply means separated from the feeder by a divider extending into the separation chamber. To enhance separation, a separate stream of clean liquid is introduced into the separation chamber so that it encounters the stream of material undergoing separation.

Abstract: An image information compression and decompression device produces a low frequency band signal suitable for reproduction of a standard definition (SD) image and a combined high frequency band signal which, when processed together with the low frequency band signal, can reproduce a high definition (HD) image. These signals are derived from a high definition (HD) image signal and are subjected to motion compensation prediction coding. An I picture of the HD image is divided into a plurality of band signals which are coded and quantized by a coding/quantizing circuit. Thus, an intra-plane coding of the divided image signal is performed for the I picture. For a P picture of the HD image, a low frequency band signal is derived and a combined high frequency band signal excluding the low frequency band signal, is produced. The low frequency band signal and the combined high frequency band signal are subjected to motion compensation prediction coding by a motion compensation prediction coding circuit. This results in a system which is compatible to both standard and high definition television systems.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for using electrodeless high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps for automotive headlamp and similar applications requiring high/low beam operation (first and second beam orientation) of signaling. The HID lamp is excited with a high-frequency radio frequency (rf) signal. Modulation of the radio frequency signal is used to cause the arc of the HID lamp to selectively operate at an acoustic resonance point. At such a point, the arc undergoes a perturbation and is physically displaced from its quiescent position. When the lamp is placed at a focal or light-gathering point of an optical system having forward gain, displacement of the arc away from the focal point causes discernible changes in the farfield output of the optical system.

Abstract: An infrared imaging system (10) has a detector assembly (12) positioned for viewing infrared radiation from a subject (20), and a housing (18) enclosing the detector assembly for maintaining the detector assembly at a temperature lower than a temperature of an environment outside the housing, the housing having a window (42) for transmission of radiation from the subject to the detector assembly. A cold stop (46) is located within the housing and a warm stop (48) is located outside the housing for transmitting radiation via their respective apertures (50, 52) from the subject to the detector assembly. The warm stop has a planar retroreflective surface (62) for reflecting rays from the detector assembly back to the detector assembly, thereby to minimize thermal noise. The retroreflective surface is profiled with grooves (66) arranged in a configuration for directing the rays of radiation back to the detector assembly, the configuration of grooves being a Fresnel configuration (62) or a kinoform configuration (62A) or a binary configuration (62B). Any desired location of the warm stop may be employed, even within a lens assembly (26), and any desired configuration of the shape of the aperture may be employed such as a rectangular or square shaped aperture.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display comprises, in order from the viewing side, a first glass substrate 10 carrying an electrode 12, a dichroic liquid crystal layer 16 provided with suitable alignment layers 14, 18, a retarding layer 20, a reflector 24 and a second glass substrate 28 carrying an electrode 26. In use, in one of its states, the dichroic liquid crystal layer 16 absorbs a component of the light incident thereon, the transmitted component being plane polarized. The polarized light is incident upon the retarding layer 20 which converts the plane polarized light to circularly polarized light, this light being reflected and converted back to plane polarized light polarized in a direction perpendicular to the original plane of polarization on returning through the retarding layer 20. Such polarized light is absorbed by the dichroic dye, no light being transmitted by the cell towards the viewer. In another state, the dichroic dye does not absorb, and hence does not polarize, the light, the cell then transmitting light to the viewer.

Abstract: The present application discloses an innovative improved circuit, in which the long transient at write-to-read transitions is avoided by using a shorting switch (M1) to short the inputs of the first amplifier stage (A1) together when the read amplifier is activated. This speeds up write-to-read transition. Moreover, since read mode can now be entered more quickly after a power-down condition, this circuit also permits the use of other power-saving tricks to idle the read amplifier momentarily.

Pref. vector V1 further comprises a ntseq (A) from a mycobacterium, cloned into PL. In a new screening method, ntseq (A), obtained by restriction enzyme digestion or by in vitro amplification, is inserted into the PL of vector V1 and the resulting vector is opt. replicated before being used for transformation of host cells. DNA is isolated from positive transformants (i.e. cells expressing the export/secretion marker) and subcloned. Inserts from the subclones are isolated to allow characterisation of the mycobacteria sequences they contain. Ntseqs isolated by this method are claimed, per se.

Abstract: Le système d'application vocale évolué de la présente invention utilise avantageusement les informations ou attributs intégrés dans un réseau de télécommunications afin de déterminer le risque de fraude d'un appel dans un système de vérification et de reconnaissance de la voix. A cet effet, les informations relatives au réseau de télécommunications sont stockées dans une base de données sous forme de plusieurs facteurs de risque (10). Ainsi, en fonction du type de facteurs de risque associés à un appel particulier, le risque affecté à cet appel peut être augmenté ou réduit afin que le réseau ne puisse rejeter un appel effectué par un appelant légitime même si la configuration vocale de l'appelant ne correspond pas exactement au modèle vocal pré-enregistré et stocké de l'appellant. Une telle affectation des risques permet une meilleure gestion du réseau en vue d'améliorer la sécurité du système sans pour autant questionner de manière excessive et fastidieuse l'appelant et permet aussi aux abonnées légitimes de déterminer leurs appels qui, autrement, auraient été rejettés. Un historique des appels peut être ajouté à la base de données en association aux différents facteurs de risque afin que ces facteurs de risque soient constammment mis à jour et utilisés pour savoir si on peut laisser se poursuivre un appel téléphonique.
