Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting atomic displacement on the surface of a material in a system comprising a micro tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) and the said material, wherein the atomic displacement comprises extraction of atoms from the material surface or adsorption of atoms onto the material surface by applying a pulse voltage to the tip. The detection method comprises measuring the z-piezo voltage during and after application of the pulse voltage. 
     The invention also relates to a method for the local supply of heteroatoms onto the surface of a material. Heteroatoms relative to the micro tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) and the said material are stored on the tip in a heteromolecular atmosphere in a manner described herein. A predetermined scanning voltage is then applied to the tip so as to cause electro-evaporation of the heteroatoms and their adsorption onto the material surface. 
     The aforementioned methods of the invention are advantageously combined.

Abstract: A power steering system includes a housing and a first member supported by the housing for movement relative to the housing. A second member is supported by the housing for movement relative to the housing and the first member. Steerable vehicle wheels are moved in response to relative movement between the first and second members. A power steering resistance control system resists relative movement between the first and second members with a force which varies as a function of variations in vehicle speed. Material is located in a chamber circumscribing the first member. The material has a viscosity which varies as a function of the magnitude of an energy field acting thereon to vary the resistance to relative movement between the first and second members. The energy field is applied to act on the material with a magnitude that varies as a function of the vehicle speed.

Filed: 1996-11-21
Abstract: The invention provides a method for treating a patient in need of  ex vivo  perfusion of his/her blood through a pig organ comprising first passing plasma from the patient over a column coupled to anti-human immunoglobulin antibodies, thereby removing a significant portion of the immunoglobulin from the patient's plasma, recombining the patient's immunoglobulin-depleted plasma with the patient's red blood cells, perfusing the patient's immunoglobulin-depleted blood through the pig organ, and then reinfusing the blood to the patient. Depletion of immunoglobulin removes anti-pig natural antibodies which would otherwise cause a hyperacute rejection reaction in the pig organ, thus quickly destroying the organ within 2-6 hours. The invention allows a single pig organ to function well in  ex vivo  perfusion for a much longer time, without signs of hyperacute rejection in the organ. The invention is especially useful in cases of acute liver failure where  ex vivo  perfusion of the patient's blood through a pig liver can bring the patient out of hepatic coma and bridge the patient to liver transplant. In some cases, the patient's liver may begin functioning on its own again after the treatment, thus altogether abrogating the need for liver transplant. The invention is also directed to the use of anti-human immunoglobulin antibodies in the manufacture of a column coupled to said antibodies for the pre-treatment of the plasma of a patient prior to  ex vivo  perfusion of the patient's blood through a pig organ.

IPC: G06F15/167
Filed: 1991-11-22
Abstract: A tightly coupled communication scheme based on a common shared resource circuit and adapted particularly to a multiprocessing system including 2 N  CPUs. A mechanism has been added that allows data in a shared register to be read and incremented as a single instruction, eliminating the need for semaphore manipulations during the operation. A second mechanism has been added to permit the use of indirect addressing in the addressing of semaphore bits and shared registers. Operating systems can relocate semaphore bits and message areas to permit simultaneous execution of the same function within a single task. In addition, an instruction has been added which tests of the semaphore bit and acts upon the state of that bit. If the semaphore bit is not set then the processor takes control of the semaphore bit by setting it. If the semaphore bit is set, the processor will execute a branch and execute other instructions. Thus, jobs assigned to a processor in a multiprocessing, multitasking application do not block or wait for the semaphore bit to clear.

Abstract: A pad printing machine (10) is disclosed in which the downward pressure forces are transferred to a thrust collar (36) on the ink cup by application through a divided bearing (42) which applies the hold-down forces at points that are spaced forward and rearward of the transverse pivot axis of the ink cup (22), and only at such spaced points, to resist rocking moments such as may arise from the reciprocating movements of the cliche. Further, the thrust collar is a combination of a very rigid pressure ring (80) and a hard but slightly resilient plastic pressure distribution ring (82) which is accurately machined after subassembly with the rigid ring to assure full mating engagement with the upper surface (85) of the annular flange (34) around the entire circumference of the ink cup, to assure uniform pressure of the entire knife edge (25) on the cliche (16). In a preferred embodiment, the ink cup also is formed of a hard plastic.

Abstract: The differential output signals from the sense amplifiers of a dynamic random access memory unit are applied to apparatus which converts these output signals to a non-differential current mode signal. The non-differential current mode signal is applied to a data line. The output signal from the data line is converted to a small swing voltage signal. The small swing voltage signal is compared with a reference voltage level thereby generating a full swing voltage output signal. The reference voltage level is generated by a sample and hold circuit which samples the small swing voltage level when the differential signals from the sensors are equal. The sampled level is stored for comparison with the small swing voltage level resulting from the sensing of the stored voltage level. The full swing voltage output signal is suitable for use with CMOS circuits associated with the dynamic random access memory unit.

Abstract: An integrated circuit driver for providing data to a communications channel comprises first and second output buffers coupled to first and second output conductors (e.g. bondpads) respectively. Each output buffer comprises a multiplicity of pull-up transistors and a multiplicity of pull-down transistors coupled to the associated output conductor through pull-up resistors and pull-down resistors, respectively. A multiplicity of delay circuits coupled to a data input node supply delayed data signals to the control terminals of the pull-up and pull-down transistors. Control circuitry is included for selectively activating the delay circuits. In a typical case, the control circuitry comprises multiplexers each having an output that is coupled to the input of a corresponding delay circuit. Advantages of the technique include a constant output impedance and waveshaping of the data output for reduction of harmonics. A typical application of the driver is in an Ethernet twisted-pair wire communication system, wherein external components (resistors and center-tapped transformer) may be eliminated.

Abstract: In a laptop computer (10), CPU-generated heat is thermally conducted passively to a radiator-like element (80) disposed behind the LCD (70), which uses the heat to warm the LCD (70). The CPU (20) is surrounded by a liquid-tight housing (40) containing a biphase coolant (130). A first tube (110) in fluid communication with an outlet port (160) in the housing (40) conveys heat-vaporized coolant to an input port (90) on the radiator (80). The coolant flows through a plurality of columns (240) formed in the radiator-like element (80), transferring heat and condensing in the process. The transferred heat is radiated to the LCD (70), which is desirably warmed in the process. The condensed coolant is conducted from an outlet port (100) in the radiator-like element (80) through a second tube (120) to an input port (50) in the housing (40). A pressure sensor (220) may be included to provide a coolant pressure drop signal that can be used to shutdown the CPU (20) in the event of a coolant leak.
