Abstract: A blood containment, visualization and tactile confirmation device (10) is provided for use with a vascular entry needle (40). The device (10) includes a visualization channel (34) and/or a complaint outer wall portion (14) which indicates whether a needle (40) connected to the device (10) has entered a selected blood vessel. The visualization channel (34) is vented to the outside to allow displaced air to escape, but has a gas permeable member (36) to prevent blood from escaping. The visualization channel (34) may have one, two, or more stages, with a first stage chamber (70a,104a) which indicates initial penetration of a selected blood vessel, and a second stage chamber (70b,104b) which fills more slowly and indicates that the needle (40) remains positioned within the blood vessel. A third stage chamber (104c) with entrapped air which compresses slightly due to the heartbeat may also be used. Preferably, a compliant outer wall portion pulses with changes in blood pressure, thereby providing a tactile indication that the needle tip is properly positioned. The device has a guideway (28) with a barrier (30) of elastomeric material which prevents blood from passing therethrough, but which allows passage of an elongated medical instrument such as catheterization apparatus.

Abstract: A self-clocking glyph code (31) is composed of data glyphs (34) which encode logically ordered data values, together with one or more multi-glyph synchronization code patterns (33). Each of the synchronization code patterns (33) is distinguishable from the data glyphs (34), but the synchronization code pattern (33) or patterns provide an explicit spatial reference for the data glyphs. To this end, the glyphs (37) of the synchronization code pattern (33) or patterns are written on the recording medium (35) in accordance with the same spatial formatting rule as the data glyphs (34), plus at least one additional formatting rule that establishes a predetermined geometric relationship between the glyphs of the synchronization code pattern or patterns (33) and corresponding ones of the spatially formatted data glyphs (34), such that the logical order of at least a significant number (>> 1)of the data glyphs (34) is inferable from the synchronization code pattern or patterns (33). Preferably, each of the synchronization code patterns (33) is composed of glyphs (37) that are selected from the same finite symbol set as the data glyphs (34), so the synchronization code pattern or patterns (33) typically are defined by glyph patterns that have a suitably high statistical probability of being unique with respect to any pattern of data glyphs.

Abstract: A rubber moir+E,acu e+EE  floor covering is disclosed. The covering is produced by continuously feeding a screw-type short extruding machine having a length/diameter ratio of 6:1 with two or three varicolored strips of vulcanizable elastomeric material. The operating temperature is between 60 DEG  C. to 100 DEG  C. The elastomeric material leaves the extruder via a perforated disk having 200 to 600 cylindrical bore holes 3-5 mm in diameter. Each of the resulting strands is severed to produce segments that are 1 to 2 mm thick, the formed pieces are then cooled off on a section 4 meters to 6 meters long. Subsequently, the formed pieces are allowed to fall into the roll nip of a temperature controllable two-bowl calendar. The web of material leaving the calendar is fed to a continuous vulcanization installation and leaves it as finished floor covering. The material throughput rate in this continuous process may be varied from 700 kg/h up to 1300 kg/h.

Abstract: A continuous pressure driven adsorption process for separating a multi-component gaseous mixture. In accordance with the method, the multi-component gaseous mixture is passed through a first portion of the adsorbent to adsorb one or more preferentially adsorbed components while a second portion of the adsorbent is regenerated. The multi-component mixture is passed through the first portion of the adsorbent in sections and the second portion of the adsorbent is regenerated in sections. The sections forming the first portion of the adsorbent become successively less saturated and the sections forming the second portion of the adsorbent becomes successively more concentrated in the more preferentially adsorbed component. A product stream is expelled from the less saturated section of the first portion of the adsorbent. The product stream is enriched in the less preferentially component(s). Masses of adsorbent are continually being shifted between the first and second portions of the adsorbent so that the mass of adsorbent forming the regenerated section is shifted to the first portion of the adsorbent and used to form the least saturated section. The mass of adsorbent forming the most saturated of the sections is shifted to the second portion of the adsorbent and used to form the non-regenerated section. The masses are shifted at a sufficiently high frequency to maintain the sections forming the first and second portions of the adsorbent in their successively less saturated and successively more concentrated states.

Abstract: Techniques for obtaining information about dynamic properties of a first program (302). The techniques involve making a static analysis (304) of the first program (302) to determine what instrumentation is needed to produce the desired information and then producing a second program (305) which causes programmable instrumentation apparatus to produce an instrumented version of the first program. The programmable instrumentation apparatus may be a programmable binary editor (911) or a a debugger (306,704). Execution of the instrumented program provides the information about the dynamic properties. The program for the instrumentation apparatus is produced by a source code analyzer (304,907) which statically analyzes the source code (301,701,903). The source code analyzer is in turn produced by a code analyzer generator. Output from the instrumentation may be provided to a graphical display system (706). In one use of the techniques, the code analyzer generator not only generates a source code analyzer for producing the second program, but also a source code analyzer (709) for producing a program which when executed by a graphical browser (706) makes a flow graph (705) for the program. In this case, the graphical browser responds to the output from the execution environment by altering the appearance of the flow graph.
