In another embodiment, the means for rotating the mirror comprises a pivot part having a shaft disposed in an aperture in the mirror shell, which is disposed along the longitudinal horizontal axis. In yet another embodiment, the means for extending the mirror from an inboard position to an outboard position comprises a groove in the mirror housing, in which a mirror frame is slidably disposed. The frame may be slid, relative to the mirror housing, from an inboard position to an outboard position.

Abstract: An optical trap is used to translate a particle through a thin film coating on an optically-flat surface. Preferably, the thin film coating is heterogeneous and the optical trap is used to move the particle through a succession of different regions of the thin film coating where different chemical, biochemical and/or biological processes take place. Examples of chemical, biochemical and/or biological processes that might be implemented in accordance with the invention include the following: oligonucleotide synthesis and sequencing, peptide synthesis and sequencing, carbohydrate synthesis and sequencing, combinatorial library synthesis and screening, conventional (i.e., Sanger or Maxam-Gilbert) DNA sequengcing, or single-molecule DNA sequencing. In one embodiment of the invention, reaction products are left behind as the particle is moved through the thin film coating. Advantageously, these products can be identified by suitable means.

Abstract: A bearing design for a rotatable assembly includes two freely rotating balls mounted on the axis of rotation of the assembly and axially separated, one near each axial end of the assembly. Each ball is confined by a moving concave bearing surface of the rotatable assembly and a corresponding fixed concave bearing surface of a mounting attached to a frame, housing, or similar non-rotating structure. One of the fixed mountings is preferably attached to a compressible spring to provide a controlled axial pre-load to the assembly. The balls are substantially enclosed and lubricant provided in the enclosed cavity. In the preferred embodiment, the rotatable assembly is a rotary actuator assembly of a disk drive. Compared to conventional ball bearing designs, the present design reduces the number of parts and volume of space occupied by the bearings, reduces hysteresis, and improves shock resistance.

Abstract: This invention provides a fixed or portable non-lethal laser security device and method for use of such device as a non-damaging weapon and security system to provides warning and visual impairment upon an intruder. At a predetermined laser wavelength and intensity, this invention utilizes laser light in the visible portion of the wavelength spectrum to create temporary visual impairment, hesitation, delay, distraction, and reductions in combat and functional effectiveness through the effects of glare, flashblind, and psychological impact. The preferred embodiment of the laser security device in the present invention involves the use of laser technology with a remotely operated security system. The device should have a housing structure to protect the internal components from damage or destruction, the ability to produce and transmit visible laser light over various wavelengths and intensities, a power source to drive the laser light, a collimating lens to focus the laser light, and should also be capable of coupling and communicating with an existing security device such as a remote-control closed circuit television camera mounted upon a pan and tilt head. Upon detection of an intruder, the laser security device is capable of visually warning the intruder of the detection. If the intruder further intrudes, the laser security device impairs the intruder's visual capabilities by the effects of flashblind and glare, allowing security forces time to respond to the intrusion and intercept the intruder.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for the conversion of rotary into axial movement with planet rollers supported at an equal peripheral distance and driven by a drive shaft, and with a thrust body that is axially-displaceable through the planet rollers which are supported to be rotatable around their fixed axes in an axle-driven carrier and with drive groove via which the planet rollers, driven by their carrier, engage in at least one screw-type groove on the thrust body which is displaceable along the axis of the carrier; the device should be of simple construction and have as low a frictional loss arising from the movement conversion as possible. For this purpose, the carrier is fixed to the drive shaft rotating in its axle. There is no power transmission during movement conversion between the drive shaft and the carrier via the parts that are tooth-engaged in one another.

Abstract: Les données utilisateur d'un système de télécommunications (5) sont stockées aux adresses (60a, 60b etc.) dans les registres (6a, 6b). Chacune des adresses est accessible pour des objectifs tels que l'acheminement d'appels, la facturation etc. par deux différentes identités d'utilisateurs: une identité d'abonné (IMSI) et un numéro de répertoire (MSISDN) utilisés respectivement par le système de télécommunications (5) lui-même, ou par les utilisateurs du système. Pour donner une flexibilité d'attribution aux types d'identité, il est prévu un registre de traduction (9) qui convertit les numéros du répertoire (MSISDN) en identités d'abonnés (IMSI), ce qui implique que chacune des adresses (60a, 60b, etc.) dans les registres (6a, 6b) ne soit accessible que par l'intermédiaire des identités d'abonnés. Cela permet de réattribuer un numéro du répertoire (MSISDN) d'une identité d'abonné à une autre, que l'adresse soit dans un registre (6a) ou dans un autre (6b). Cela permet de plus l'attribution permanente, aux équipements, d'identités d'abonnés (IMSI) cependant transférables entre les usagers, ce qui accroît la flexibilité du système tout en réduisant les possibilités de fraude par 'clonage' (reprogrammation non autorisée des équipements pour reproduire l'identité d'un abonné).

Abstract: Un ensemble cathéter (2) à rigidité réduite et flexion bidirectionnelle comprend un manche (4) ainsi qu'une tige de cathéter flexible (6) présentant une partie de pointe (12) fixée à son extrémité distale (14). La partie de pointe présente une lumière (42) pour fil d'âme s'étendant longitudinalement et décalée radialement, à travers laquelle passe un fil d'âme conique (24) s'étendant à partir d'un manipulateur (56) de fil d'âme situé sur le manche. Le manipulateur du fil d'âme peut être déplacé dans deux directions différentes (58, 60) afin de tirer ou de pousser sur ledit fil d'âme de manière à provoquer une flexion axiale de la partie de pointe dans des directions opposées, dans le même plan. Les extrémités du fil d'âme sont fixées non rotatives au manche et à la partie de pointe de manière que la rotation du manche autour de son axe (63) provoque une flexion latérale de ladite partie de pointe, due aux forces de torsion exercées sur ladite partie de pointe à la fois par la tige du cathéter et le fil d'âme. La partie conique du fil d'âme détermine la taille et la forme de la partie de pointe courbée lorsque ladite pointe est fléchie axialement.
