Patent EP-0806221-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRIMHALL GREG L
IPC: A61M39/06
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: The assembly of this invention comprises an elastic plug that is retained in a medical device, such as a catheter. A needle having a distal portion and a proximal portion resides in the elastic plug. The proximal portion has a different cross-section than the distal portion. In one embodiment, the cross-section of the proximal portion is smaller than the distal portion. Upon removal of the needle from the catheter and the elastic plug, the space in the elastic plug that had been occupied by the proximal portion of the needle is closed to effectively achieve the sealing function of the plug. The needle may include one or more notches in fluid communication with the needle lumen. One notch is preferably located at the juncture between the proximal portion and the distal portion of the needle to facilitate the blood flow between the needle and the catheter for better visualization of blood flashback by the clinician.

Abstract: On fabrique cette structure de guide d'onde en formant des éléments actifs sur une plaquette à gravure en semi-conducteur (21), puis en revêtant la surface supérieure de cette plaquette (21), ainsi que les éléments actifs, d'un polymère de résist positif soluble. On attaque le polymère à l'aide de techniques classiques afin d'obtenir un gabarit pour la structure du canal de guide d'onde, puis on recouvre (26) et on électroforme (27) ce gabarit polymère, en utilisant un matériau métallique approprié. Enfin, on dissout le gabarit polymère, lequel laisse un canal ouvert (25) dont les limites sont déterminées par la structure électroformée. Cette structure de guide d'onde présente l'avantage que les éléments actifs sont monoblocs avec elle et qu'ils se situent sur un plan commun de fabrication, ce qui signifie que si la profondeur du guide d'onde varie, les éléments actifs restent sur le même plan. Cette structure de guide d'onde est notamment appropriée pour être utilisée à des fréquences térahertz.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de conservation de spécimens à activité biologique par vitrification consistant à les déshydrater de manière à obtenir un véritable état vitreux à la température de stockage par un refroidissement subséquent. Le procédé se base sur la constations que pour stocker les échantillons à l'état vitreux véritable, la température de déshydratation doit dépasser la température de stockage envisagée. Comme la température de vitrification décroît rapidement avec la teneur en eau (par exemple l'eau pure se vitrifie à Tg = -145 °C, alors qu'une solution à 80 % en poids de sucrose se vitrifie à Tg = -40 °C, et que la sucrose anhydre se vitrifie à Tg = 60 °C), l'échantillon doit être fortement déshydraté pour porter la (Tg) au-dessus de la température de stockage (Ts). Comme l'a constaté l'inventeur, la température de déshydratation doit être supérieure à la température de stockage envisagée, l'état vitreux étant ensuite atteint par refroidissement après déshydratation.

Abstract: Co-Existence Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA) techniques for
overlay macrocellular systems facilitate the coexistence of embedded autonomous
underlay microcellular (e.g., indoor) systems. The Co-existence of the two systems
without excessive mutual interference is achieved through statistical systematic
exclusion of predefined subsets of the universal channel set from the dynamic
assignment to the overlay macrocells. The sets of channels are made available to the
underlay systems. The exclusion is done with minimal DCA performance degradation.
Multiple exclusions methods are described.

Abstract: A phase-locked loop circuit is disclosed. The phase-locked
loop circuit includes a fundamental/quadrature phase comparator
circuit (12) that compares an input bitstream (IN) to fundamental
and quadrature phases of an output clock signal (CLK, CLKQ), to
generate logic signals (I1, I2) corresponding to the state of the
output clock signal phases at the time of each transition of the
input bitstream. Compare logic (44) in the
fundamental/quadrature phase comparator circuit (12) generates
anticlockwise (A) and clockwise (C) signals to a state machine
(14), in response to the logic signals (I1, I2) varying from a
prior state (X1, X2) in opposing directions in a sequence; the
sequence and directions are indicative of the polarity of the
error frequency between the input bitstream and the output clock
signal. Beginning with the first comparison and in response to
the anticlockwise (A) and clockwise (C) signals, the state
machine (14) issues a high gain charge or discharge signal (UPC,
DNC) to a charge pump filter (20), to raise or lower the voltage
(V n ) at a capacitor (25) and thus increase or decrease the
oscillation frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator (30)
that generates the output clock signal (CLK). This charge or
discharge operation continues until the opposite one of the
anticlockwise (A) and clockwise (C) signals is produced by the
compare logic (44), at which time the state machine begins
issuing lower gain discharge or charge signals (DND, UPD) to
correct the output clock frequency in the opposite direction, in
a fine correction manner

Abstract: The apparatus (13) comprises a frame (22) carrying a pair of container support
members (15). During loading of an ISO container (14), the lower side rails (31) of
the container are supported along long lengths thereof to prevent their being damaged.
When loading has been completed, pistons (23) are used to pivot the frame (22)
backwards [see Fig. 8] so that the rear corner castings (21) of the container drop onto
seats (19) recessed into the middles of the container support members (15) and are
locked down by twistlocks (20). Thus the weight of the container is no longer carried
by the rollers (161-163, 171-173) of the container support members (15) and
therefore, during rough cross-country transit, the lower side rails (31) of the container
will not suffer impact damage caused by the rollers.
