Title: Surgical stapler
Inventor: VEY RICHARD AUGUST
IPC: B25C5/16
Filed: 1980-12-05
Granted: 1984-11-29
Abstract: A surgical stapling mechanism particularly suited for suturing skin and fascia and adapted to be mounted on or formed as part of an instrument having rectilinear thrust capabilities. The mechanism basically comprises a staple-housing portion which is adapted to store a plurality of surgical staples (30) in a linear array. The staple-housing portion contains a guide track (32) for orienting the surgical staples (30) so that the crowns (34) of the staples (30) lie in substantially the same plane. A spring arrangement (36) constantly urges the staple array in a forward direction. An exit aperture (37) provides a means by which the surgical staples may exit. Integral with the exit aperture is an anvil (40) which is used to form the staples (30) as they exit, one at a time. A delivery channel (42) provides a passageway through which the staples (30) move, one at a time, on their way toward the anvil (40). The delivery channel (42) defines a plane spaced from and substantially parallel to a plane defined by the crowns (34) of the staples (30) as they are stored in the staple-housing portion. A connecting channel (44) between the storage track (32) and the delivery channel (42) provides a path from the staple-housing portion to the delivery channel (42) for the passage of the surgical staples (30). Mounted for rectilinear movement is a pusher (50) which responds to a force supplied by the stapling instrument to advance a staple (30) through the delivery channel (42) and out of the exit aperture (37) for formation about the anvil (40).

Title: Recovery of dimethyl ether from liquid phase olefinic C``-C``-feedstocks
Inventor: NAGJI MOEZ MOHAMMEDALI
IPC: C07C7/13
Filed: 1986-12-15
Granted: 1989-09-14
Abstract: Feedstocks of olefinic hydrocarbons having from three to five carbon atoms which contain dimethyl ether impurity in amounts of from 1 to 5000 ppm (wt.) are purified in the liquid phase by contact with an adsorbent comprising a crystalline zeolitic molecular sieve having the faujasite crystal structure. It have been found that contrary to expectations based on prior observations of the catalytic properties of synthetic faujasites, the faujasite adsorbents are significantly more resistant toward coking and consequent deactivation than are zeolite adsorbents having smaller pore diameters. The invention is particularly beneficial when utilized as an adjunct to the process for preparing alkyl tertiary alkyl ethers by the reaction of a primary alcohol such as methanol with C4-5 tertiary olefins such as isobutylene in admixture with other non-reactive olefins and paraffins.

Title: Gas discharge lamp drive circuitry
Inventor: AARONS DAVID JOHN
IPC: H02M7/49
Filed: 1998-05-07
Granted: 2000-12-14
Abstract: A gas discharge lamp 4 is driven by a high frequency pulse train formed by combining a first pulse train with a second pulse train. The two pulse trains may be generated by respective inverters with input drive signals P0, P1 and output transformers T0, T1 having secondaries TP30, TP40 and TP31, TP41 connected in series with one another across the lamp 4. The circuit has a high power factor and may be used for driving a lamp at a steady power, but is particularly intended for dimming metal halide or sodium vapour lamps, or especially fluorescent lamps. A digitized dimming control signal causes the phase of drive signal P0 to be shifted relative to drive signal P1, signals P0 and P1 being in phase for 100% light output and 180 degrees out of phase for 0% light output (Fig.2), so that the outputs from transformers T0, T1 combine to drive the lamp with pulses having a width dependent on the dimming level (Fig.5). Secondaries TP10, TP20 and TP11, TP21 provide high frequency lamp filament heating currents which remain steady irrespective of the dimming level. The circuit may be used to dim a 2.44 m (8 feet) long fluorescent lamp to less than 1% of full light output.
