Abstract: According to the invention there is provided an intravascular catheter (10) comprising an elongated flexible jacket (14) having opposed proximal and distal ends and a central passageway extending between and interconnecting the ends. A rotating working head (20) is located at the distal end of the jacket (14). A flexible drive cable (12) extends through the passageway of the jacket (14), having a driving end operatively connected to the working head (20) for rotating it and a driven end (35) operatively connected to a high-speed motor. The working head (20) is rotatably mounted in a bearing sleeve (18) which is further attached to the catheter jacket (14). The working head (20) is actuated, by an actuator which adjusts a pair of tip portions (22) from an at least initial retracted position with a first effective working diameter to an extended position with a second effective working diameter greater than the first effective diameter. Centrifugal forces generated by rotation of the cable (12) cause the tip portions (22) to assume the greater effective working diameter.

Abstract: The opening device comprises a closure flap (7) which is pivotable about a hinge (2) and with which a pouring aperture (4) can be opened and closed again. The edge (5) of the pouring aperture (4) is elastically deformable. As a device for holding the closure flap (7) open in the opening position, a projection (12) is attached so that it projects from the lower edge (6) of the closure flap (7) downwards in such a way that said projection (12) is pulled beyond the edge (5) of the pouring aperture (4) during opening and is subsequently supported on said edge and holds the closure flap (7) open. For reclosure, the projection can be pressed by slight pressure beyond the edge of the pouring aperture. The novel design of the holding-open device proposed advantageously prevents damage to said device in the closed state, for example when stacking packages provided with the opening device. Additionally, this holding-open device is very simple to produce. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a voice activity detector for an echo canceller, a difference (a - b) is detected between a voltage at the receive path of a four-wire circuit of a hybrid transformer and a voltage at the transmit path of the four-wire circuit to produce a first difference signal, and an echo return loss (ERL) estimate is derived from the first difference signal. The first difference signal is compared with the ERL estimate to produce a first binary signal. A difference (b - c) is detected between the voltage at the transmit path and an output voltage of the echo canceller to produce a second difference signal, and an echo return loss enhancement (ERLE) estimate is derived from the second difference signal. The second difference signal is compared with the ERLE estimate to produce a second binary signal which forms together with the first binary signal one of a plurality of combinations of binary levels. The estimator of the echo canceller is enabled in response to a predetermined one of the combinations of binary levels and disabled in response to the other combinations.

Abstract: A justifier (1) for performing the parallel justification of data onto a DS-3 mapping includes an input bus (2) for selectively communicating 8 respective I bits simultaneously to the justifier (1). An output bus (3) receives I, R, O and C bits from the justifier in accordance with the mapping at an eighth of the envelope rate of 44.736 Mb/s. A first data path (5) is connected to input bus (2) via a latch (6) for communicating to output bus (3), during a first cycle of the GCLK, a required number of the I bits. A second data path (7) is also connected to input bus (2) via the same latch (6) for communicating to output bus (3), over one or more subsequent GCLK cycles, the remainder of the I bits such that the mapping is satisfied. 
     Justifier (1) also includes control means in the form of a control circuit (8) for regulating the flow of the I bits along the first and second paths (5,7). Circuit (8) is responsive to a first control signal provided by a sequencer which is indicative of the mapping to be followed. 
     The I bits moving along the first and second data paths (5,7) are received by a triangular multiplexer (27) which selects an appropriate number of I bits from each path for subsequent transmission to bus (3). 
     De-justifier (45) allows the de-justification of data from a predetermined mapping and is generally complementary in operation to justifier (1). Consequently, the de-justifier is ideally suited to the de-justification of data originating from justifier (1).

Abstract: A cardiac pacemaker having an automatic pulse rate response gain factor responsive to at least one cardiac-related physiological characteristic of a patient. The pacemaker includes a rate controller that comprises a detector for detecting a plurality of individual measurements of at least one physiological characteristic over each of a plurality of pre-determined time periods, with each of the individual measurements being an average of values detected over each of a respective multiple number of incremental time periods occurring within each of the pre-determined time periods. The pacemaker saves the highest measurement from one incremental time period of each of several consecutive pre-determined time periods, and these highest measurements are averaged. Thereafter, the rate controller adjusts the rate response gain factor or slope of the pulse rate in relation to the physiological characteristic measurement and a pre-determined target pulse rate. In a preferred embodiment, two physiological characteristics are measured, with high values averaged of only one characteristic when that characteristic exceeds a threshold level of the other characteristic. One embodiment is pulse rate responsive to minute volume measurement in combination with accelerometer measurement, with accelerometer measurement requiring a threshold value over an increment of time prior to minute volume recordation for input toward rate response gain factor.
