Title: Articulation prosthesis
IPC: A61F2/32
Filed: 1989-06-14
Granted: 1991-12-18
Abstract: The invention relates to an articulation prosthesis, in particular a hip joint prosthesis, with a socket body (8) and with a ball body (32). The object is to reliably prevent damage of the ball and/or socket and to ensure a long service life. In order to achieve this object, there is arranged on the surface (16) of the socket edge a disc (2) which can be removed after setting of the ball body (32) in the socket body (8), or there is provided on the said surfaces (16, 20, 34) a protective layer (28, 30) consisting of a material which can be absorbed by the body. The material of the disc (2) or of the protective layer (28, 30) has a lower hardness than the material of the socket body (8) or of the ball body (32). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A communication system is described comprising different buses (20, 46, 56) which are interconnected via one or more gate connecting elements (20, 50). There is a transmitter station transmitting a frame that comprises a target address field and one or more destination address fields. If the send and receiver stations (46, 48, 52, 54) are connected to the same bus, the contents of the target address field are sufficient to define the receiver station. In other cases the target address field defines a gate connecting element, whereas the latter fills the the target address field with the contents of one of the other fields. In this way receiver station addresses, which have already been defined on a previous bus, can again be used on the next bus. Furthermore, in a short-frame format, receiver stations on the same bus as the transmitter station can be addressed with very low overhead.

Title: A method of joining structural elements by heating of a binder
IPC: C09J5/06
Filed: 1989-10-09
Granted: 1993-05-12
Abstract: A method for joining structural elements by heating of a binder, e.g. to form panel assemblies (21) for automobiles, including applying to a first structural element a binder at locations thereof intended to form bonding contact with the corresponding locations on a second structural element, mating the second structural element with the first structural element, and hemming an outer edge of the first structural element about a corresponding edge of the second structural element to make the binder contact upper and lower faces of corresponding edges. The combination of the first and second structural elements is brought into contact with a plurality of heating elements (16,20) at selected, spaced apart spots along an outer edge of the combination. Heat energy is applied at the spots to form a spot bonding between the first and second structural elements thereat by curing the binder at the spots. The remainder of the binder is left uncured, and the the spot-bonded combination is then removed from the heating elements and subjected to subsequent treatment, including treatment in an atmosphere at such elevated temperatures that the spot bonds are post-cured and the remaining binder is fully cured.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a gating means in combination with a spontaneous infiltration process to produce a metal matrix composite body. Particularly, a permeable mass of filler material or a preform (2) is spontaneously infiltrated by molten matrix metal (5) to form a metal matrix composite body. A gating means (3) is provided which controls or limits the areal contact between molten matrix metal (5) and the filler material or preform (2). The use of a gating means (3) provides for control of the amount of matrix metal (5) which can contact the preform (2) or filler material which may result in less machining of a formed metal matrix composite body compared with a similar metal matrix composite body made without a gating means (3) and/or ameliorates the tendency of a formed metal matrix composite body to wrap due to the contact between the formed composite body and matrix metal carcass.

Abstract: A novel method of synthesizing immunogens is disclosed. First a shared sequence between an anti-receptor antibody for an external antigen and antigen itself is determined. The shared sequence is then used to construct peptides which may be used as immunogens. A method of providing agents for binding to cellular receptors is also disclosed. Such receptor binding agents are similarly constructed by determining a shared sequence between anti-receptor antibodies and an external antigen. The resulting products may be used as vaccines or as pharmaceuticals which are either directly active on the target cells, or indirectly active as the result of preventing receptor binding by the subject antigen.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for detecting moving objects silhouetted against background clutter. A correlation subsystem (12) is used to register the background of a current image frame (framestore 1) with an image frame taken two time periods earlier (framestore 3). A first difference image is generated by subtracting the registered images, with the first difference image being filtered by low pass filter (34) and thresholded by a three level segmenter (36). A second difference image is likewise generated between the current image frame and another image frame taken at a different subsequent time period. This second difference image is likewise filtered and thresholded. The two difference images are logically ANDed together by gate (39) whose output is connected to a formatter, sorter and feature extractor (40). Track files are generated in CPU (16) for comparing subsequently extracted image features with previously stored extracted features.

Abstract: Des agrafes en U pour fermer des sachets et des tubes formés dans une bande de matériau comprennent un fond (7) et deux branches (4) dont les extrémités sont courbées vers l'extérieur de façon à former une tige de liaison (2) par laquelle chaque agrafe est reliée de manière détachable aux agrafes d'une une rangée (1) d'agrafes. Lorsque l'on détache des agrafes individuelles de la rangée (1), des bavures de séparation qui dépassent de la largeur de l'agrafe en résultent, ce qui peut provoquer des dommages sur l'emballage ainsi fermé et sur d'autres emballages. Pour résoudre ce problème, la largeur de la bande d'agrafes est rétrécie des deux côtés de façon approximativement parallèle dans la zone des extrémités (6) des branches (4) sur une section (3) de celles-ci. Les extrémités (6) des branches repliées vers l'extérieur reposent ainsi uniformément sur le côté extérieur des branches (4), dans les limites de la largeur de la bande, sans bavures de séparation qui dépassent au-delà de la largeur de la bande. Un dispositif de fermeture de sachets et de tubes au moyen de ces agrafes de séparation comprend un poinçon de fermeture (9) qui coopère avec une matrice (8) et dans la surface de travail (29) duquel est ménagée une rainure (10) dont la largeur correspond à celle de l'agrafe de fermeture et dont la profondeur est inférieure à l'épaisseur totale de la branche utilisée pour le processus de fermeture. Pendant le processus de fermeture, la rainure (10) guide grâce à ses parois latérales les extrémités (6) des branches et assure un repoussage dépourvu de bavures des extrémités (6) des branches des agrafes qui sont serrées sur le côté extérieur des branches (4) des agrafes.

Abstract: A density-moisture measuring system includes: a NaI scintillator (4) for detecting only a  gamma -ray from a californium (1) which has passed through an article (20) to be measured; a plastic scintillator (15) for detecting a  gamma -ray and a neutron beam; and a photomultiplier tube (6) connected to the said scintillators. A proportional relationship seems to be established between  gamma -ray data Nc and N gamma  which have passed through the article (20) and have been detected by the NaI scintillator (4) and the plastic scintillator (15). The  gamma -ray data and fast neutron beam data N gamma , Nn which have been detected by the plastic scintillator (15) cannot be separated even by use of wave form discrimination, but, can be separated by use of the relationship between the  gamma -ray data Nc detected by the NaI scintillator (4) and the  gamma -ray data detected by the plastic scintillator (15). Further, the use of the plastic scintillator (15) makes it easy to handle. Furthermore, the plastic scintillator carries out the detection of the  gamma -ray and the fast neutron beam and functions as an optical guide for a ray of light detected by the NaI scintillator for detecting the  gamma -ray. <IMAGE>
