Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: An optical examination technique employs an optical system (15, 45, 100, 150, 200, 260 or 300) for in vivo non-invasive transcranial examination of brain tissue of a subject. The optical system includes an optical module (12 or 14) arranged for placement on the exterior of the head, a controller and a processor. The optical module includes an array of optical input ports and optical detection ports located in a selected geometrical pattern to provide a multiplicity of photon migration paths inside the biological tissue. Each optical input port is constructed to introduce into the examined tissue visible or infrared light emitted from a light source. Each optical detection port is constructed to provide light from the tissue to a light detector. The controller is constructed and arranged to activate one or several light sources and light detectors so that the light detector detects light that has migrated over at least one of the photon migration paths. The processor receives signals corresponding to the detected light and forms at least two data sets, a first of said data sets representing blood volume in the examined tissue region and a second of said data sets representing blood oxygenation of the examined tissue. The processor is arranged to correlate the first and second data sets to detect abnormal tissue in the examined tissue.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tightening strip (10, 10') which comprises a strip (16) bent in the shape of a ring or a spiral as well as a tension locking system (20), wherein said tightening strip can advantageously be used as an internal tightening strip (10') for placing elongated objects such as cables or pipes in pipeworks and mainly pipes (12) which cannot be accessed. In order to place elongated objects, the tightening strip comprises support members (18) which, in the case of an internal tightening strip (10'), protrude radially from the strip (16) towards the outside. The tension locking system (20) comprises a stop member (5) which can for example be made in the shape of a stop bolt (24) and which is maintained in a stop position by a stop frame (22). If the stop bolt (24) is disengaged from its stop position, the tension locking system (20) partially expands and transmits the tightening force to the strip (16) thus tightening the tightening strip (10/ 10').

Abstract: A mechanism for selectively operating and locking a pivotal window. The window is pivotally attached to a window frame so as to pivot between open and closed configurations. The mechanism includes an actuating rod slidably mounted to the window frame. A guiding arm is pivotally mounted to the window frame. An actuating arm is pivotally attached to the actuating rod. The distal end of the actuating arm is attached to the window by attachment component allowing for angular compensation. The distal end of the guiding arm is pivotally attached to the actuating arm intermediate the longitudinal ends of the latter. A pin and slot arrangement allows for selective pivotal or locking action between the guiding and actuating arms depending on their relative pivotal relationship. The sliding movement of the actuating rod along its longitudinal axis in one direction causes the window to open while the sliding movement of the actuating rod in the opposite direction along its longitudinal axis causes the window to close and eventually to be locked in the closed configuration.

Granted: 2004-06-22
Abstract: In a housing structure for a lawn mower, a rear scroll guide member is provided adjacent and along the width of an entrance of a cut-grass discharge passage, and this rear scroll guide member has upper and lower flanges together defining a channel-shaped concave portion for insertion and retention therein of a front end portion of a bottom plate that closes the bottom of the cut-grass discharge passage. Back plate is provided adjacent and along the width of an exit of the cut-grass discharge passage, and this back plate has a locking hole. The bottom plate has, on its rear end portion, a projection for fitting engagement with the locking hole of the back plate. Thus, the bottom plate is secured to the body of the housing with the front end portion inserted in the concave portion of the rear scroll guide member and the projection on the rear end portion fitted in the locking hole of the back plate. Such arrangements can facilitate the mounting of the bottom plate and thus can reduce the overall cost of the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a digital transmission system having a transmitter and a receiver, for transmitting and receiving a digital stereo audio signal comprising a left and right hand signal component via/from a transmission medium. The transmitter comprises analysis filter means for filtering the signal components so as to obtain a number of n sub signals for each of the left and right hand signal components and transmission means for transmitting sub signals via the transmission medium. The receiver comprises means for receiving the sub signals and decoding them by means of synthesis filter means so as to obtain a replica of the stereo audio signal. In accordance with the invention, the transmitter further comprises signal combination means for combining at least one corresponding sub signal of the left and right hand signal components so as to obtain a composite sub signal, and control signal generator means for generating a sub signal indicator control signal indicating said at least one sub signal of the left and right hand signal components being combined. The transmitter is further adapted to transmit said composite sub signal and said sub signal indicator control signal. The receiver receives said sub signal indicator control signal and said composite sub signal and derives therefrom, in response to the sub signal indicator control signal, sub signals for the left and right hand signal components. The invention enables thereby a further data reduction of the sub(band) signals to be transmitted.
