Abstract: The invention relates to a time switch and a method for implmenting time switching for signals of several different levels of hierarchy, said signals having a common frame structure which can be divided into blocks (41, 42) of different sizes, said blocks being switched differently from another. According to the method, the contents of the time slots of an incoming signal are written into a memory (61), from which they are read at the memory locations indicated by switching data contained in an address control memory (66). In order that the time switching could be implemented in a more simplified manner than before, the contents of all time slots of a frame are continuously written into one memory block (61) without synchronizing the writing with said frame.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved arterial catheterization system which is designed to allow the user to quickly visualize the early flashback of blood after penetration of a vessel. The improved arterial catheterization system of this invention allows for minimum blood loss during initial penetration of the blood vessel. Specifically, this invention is directed to a system for introducing an over-the-needle catheter into a blood vessel, and comprises an inserter unit having a hollow needle and a catheter having a lumen such that the catheter is adapted to be carried on the needle. The catheter and needle cooperate to form a first flashback chamber therebetween. The first flashback chamber is at least partially translucent and allows for the visualization of blood flow upon insertion of the needle into a blood vessel. A guide wire, which is slidably mounted on the inserter unit within the needle, is dimensioned in relation to the needle in order to provide a blood flow passage therebetween. A second flashback chamber is formed in the inserter unit and connected to the needle to receive blood flow. The guide wire serves as a guide for the catheter as the catheter is advanced off of the needle, along the guide wire and into the blood vessel. The guide wire and the catheter are separable after the catheter is placed in the blood vessel.

Date May 11, 1994A system having several active (master) and passive (slave) bus users (processors), each of which is allocated a memory with its own memory area. Each bus user has read access to its own memory area and each active (master) bus user has write access to every memory area. A control line is provided for sending a control signal which indicates to the active (master) bus users accessing the memory areas whether data have already been written into the memory areas. The control signal has dominant and recessive states. Outside of the access cycles, all bus users generate a dominant state. During a cycle of access to memory areas, only the bus users in whose memory areas the data have not yet been written, generate such a signal. The system may be used in automation systems.

Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions useful as replacements for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room temperature and body temperature. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible solid polyol polyester particles dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The solid polyol polyester particles of the composition herein comprise from about 10% to 50% polyol polyester polymer and from 50% to about 90% polyol polyester monomer. The polyol polyester material which forms these solid particles must contain a relatively high proportion of long chain saturated fatty acid ester groups. Edible fat-containing products comprising these nondigestible fats can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.

Said suction roller (80) has essentially a perforated drum-like roller (85) with a foam-rubber covering (90) surrounding the latter, a weight roller (87) lying approximately at the top on the roller (85) and arranged to be rotatable axially parallel thereto, and also a collecting trough (88) positioned in the roller (85) and having a conduit (93) leading into a water tank for the purpose of emptying said collecting trough. In addition, in the case of this maintenance vehicle (10), besides the suction roller (80), a scarifying unit (32), a surface roller (34) and a warm air-blowing device (50) for drying or airing the sports ground (11) are provided. Consequently, any rainwater on the sports ground can be removed in a very short time, football matches can be staged irrespective of the prevailing weather and the grounds can always be kept in an optimal condition. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process is described for treating biodegradable substrates which arise discontinuously, in particular biowastes. The substrates, if appropriate after a pretreatment, are subjected to a fermentation in a digestion stage (6) in the presence of anaerobic biomass. A conditioning stage (2) is provided upstream of the digestion stage (6), into which conditioning stage at least some of the anaerobic biomass from the digestion stage (6) is recycled via a return line (8). In the conditioning stage (2), aerobic conditions are maintained at times and/or in places. The substrates are homogenised in the conditioning stage (2) and preferably enzymatically hydrolysed by setting thermophilic temperatures and an acid environment. Furthermore, a hydraulic balance is produced in the conditioning stage (2) between a discontinuous charging of the conditioning stage (2) with fresh substrate and continuous charging of the digestion stage (6) with conditioned substrate.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a lead frame (1) from a metal plate, wherein outer leads (4) of the lead frame (1) and outer portions (3b) of inner leads (3) are formed by etching metal plate (11). The inner portions (3a) of the inner leads are then laser beam machined with the connecting portions (7) left as they are so that the front end portions of the inner leads (3) are joined. A mechanical surface treatment and a chemical surface treatment are then conducted, and dross (10), spatters (9) and oxide film which are deposited or formed during the laser beam machining operation are thereby removed. The portions which are on the inner side of the inner leads (3), and which are connected to the terminals of a semiconductor device, are then plated with gold to form plated terminal portions (3A). The region excluding the region of the outer leads (4) is coated with a solder plating protecting film, and the outer leads (4) are solder plated. The connecting portions (7) left at the front ends of the inner leads (3) are then cut off by laser beam machining, and the inner leads (3) are thus separated from one another to form a final lead frame pattern. The solder plating protecting film is then removed, and the lead frame is washed and dried. This enables the occurrence of bend, which is ascribed to the thermal deformation of the lead frame during the laser beam machining operation, of the inner leads (3) within the plate surfaces to be prevented, and the manufacturing of lead frames to be done with a high precision. The invention can solve various problems with the laser beam machining.

Abstract: When a single-channel audio signal is present it is converted into a pseudo-stereo signal and distributed to two loudspeakers by a multiplexing unit. The quality of reception is evaluated by another circuit so that when it falls below a limit of acceptability the system is switched from stereo to mono operation in good time. The multiplex output from the FM tuner is applied to a stereo decoder which addresses a control unit causing the multiplexer to switch the loudspeaker inputs correctly according to the available signal in less than 100 ms.
