Inventor: CHANG LAI YU-HAU
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: A safety syringe includes a barrel, a plunger, a needle set and a needle sheath. The needle set comprises a needle cannula, a needle hub for anchoring the cannula and an adapter for receiving the needle hub, the needle set being telescopically placed inside the nozzle of the syringe barrel. The syringe is characterised in that the needle hub has male threads for meshing with female threads on the adapter and the adapter has a circumferential groove for receiving a rubber seal. Further, the base of the adapter is formed with a conical hole where the hole is surrounded by clipping means formed with angular portions slanting inwardly to define the profile of the conical hole. The base also has a protrusion formed close to the conical hole (Fig 5A). The piston of the plunger is formed with a conical projection which engages with the conical hole on depression of the plunger (Fig 5B). On pulling back the plunger, the needle set is retracted into the syringe barrel and the interaction between the projection and the piston causes the needle to incline.

Title: Integration of analysis into feature-based model
Inventor: GERLOVIN EMMANUEL
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2000-05-02
Abstract: An analysis may be represented as a feature in a feature-based model of a geometric object. The analysis is integrated directly into the model and may be recalculated in response to changes made to the model. Additional features may be created that reference the analysis feature. Likewise, the model may include features that reference the analysis without directly incorporating the analysis into the model as a feature. The analysis may be a system-defined analysis, a user-defined analysis or an external analysis. The model may be a CAD package 20, and the analysis may be an engineering analysis. The integration enables requirements for a product to be captured in terms of the feature language of the model, so that an analysis may be captured inside a feature, and used subsequently, for instance, to define where is the centre of gravity of an object.

Title: Real-time physically-based shading on SIMD (single instruction multiple data) architectures
Inventor: STUTTARD DAVID
IPC: G06T15/80
Filed: 2000-09-29
Abstract: Shading values in a graphics processing system are determined using an approximation of a Beckmann Distribution Function (BDF). The shading values are determined by: reformulating the BDF in terms of the scalar product of the surface normal <O>N</O> and the viewpoint-light half-vector <I><O>H</O></I> (<I><O>N</O></I>  Ò  <I><O>H</O></I>) to produce a modified BDF; dividing a portion of the BDF into a plurality of intervals, n, each interval defined by first and second control points at its boundaries; and approximating each interval using a cubic approximation to produce coefficients for use in determining the shading values. The approximation technique provides a physically-based shading technique that requires less computation than known techniques, and which is suited for use on a SIMD architecture.

Title: Hybridised laser transmitters
Inventor: BARNARD JOSEPH ALAN
IPC: H04B10/50
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: A hybridised laser transmitter comprises a laser diode 31 for supplying an optical output signal, and a monitor photodiode 34 receiving an optical signal from a back face of the laser diode 31 for monitoring the output power of the laser diode 31. A laser diode driver 36 is arranged closely adjacent the laser diode 31 between the laser diode 31 and the photodiode 34 and is electrically connected to the laser diode 31, and the driver 36 is transparent to the optical signal passing from the back face of the laser diode 31 towards the photodiode 34. Such an arrangement enables the electrical connection between the driver 36 and the laser diode 31 to be minimised, thus reducing the parasitic inductance and capacitance and improving the high frequency optical performance. As well as improving the optical performance, such an arrangement can enable the transmitter to be operated from a lower voltage supply, such as a 3.3 V d.c. supply.

Title: Method of folding an airbag
Inventor: MOTTAGHI MERNOSH
IPC: B60R21/231
Filed: 2001-12-07
Abstract: A method of folding an airbag (2) which is connected to a housing (21) which incorporates a gas generator (22) comprises the steps of configuring the airbag (2) so that the main inflatable part of the airbag is in the form of two depending tabs (25, 26).

Title: Fluid Couplings
Inventor: BRUGMANN DONALD HOWARD
IPC: F16L33/207
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: A fluid coupling 10 for coupling a hose 12 to a metal tube 14, of primary interest in hydraulic brake systems, provides dynamic strain relief so that hoses 12 having stainless steel braided reinforcing layers are made usable for normal highway use because the hoses 12 can withstand Department of Transportation Whip Test while meeting thermal requirements. This is accomplished by a coaxial strain relief element 61 which is integral with an eyelet-type tube 15 fitting wherein the strain relief element 61 is captured by a pocket 57 disposed in the end of a crimping cup 50. A crimping cup 50 directly engages the stainless steel braided wire reinforcement 24 to clamp the hose 12 against a projecting nipple 36 of the eyelet 15 while having an annular lip portion 53 which seats in the groove in the eyelet 15 and presses the coaxial strain relief element 61 into the direct engagement with the braided reinforcement layer 24.

Title: Heat sink material
Inventor: ISHIKAWA SHUHEI
IPC: H01L21/48
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: A heat sink suitable for IC chips, having high mechanical strength, is produced by infiltrating metal into pores in a carbon material, giving increased wettability between the heatsink material and plated solder layer covering the surface. The metal expands, or exhibits reduced shrinkage on solidification. In one embodiment, a mass of graphite is placed into case 70, which is put into a furnace (fig 6: 60) (fig 8: S301). The space in the furnace is heated, producing a porous sintered graphite body 12 (fig 8: S302). The case containing the porous body is removed from the furnace and put into cavity 80 in press 62 (fig 8: S303). A molten mass 86 of a metal is poured into the case (fig 8: S304), and a punch 84 is inserted into the cavity to press the molten metal 86 into the porous sintered body 12 (fig 8: S305).

Title: Collet-cone slip system for releasably securing well tools
Inventor: DOANE JAMES C
IPC: E21B33/129
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: A selectively released well tool anchor has tubular elements (tubular wicker shoe cage and a tubular setting sleeve) in sliding assembly over a tubular mandrel either side of a packer seal. The wicker shoe cage confines a plurality of independent wicker shoes. The tubular setting sleeve has a conical slip face that is loosely meshed with the shoe cage by a plurality of collet fingers extended from the conical slip face into meshed engagement with detents in the shoe cage. The collet fingers are secured within the detents for well run-in by calibrated shear fasteners. Slip faces on the several wicker shoes are aligned with the conical slip face to effect a radial displacement of the wicker shoes by an axial translation of the setting sleeve relative to the shoe cage. However, no relative axial translation may occur until sufficient axial compressive force between the shoe cage and setting sleeve is imposed to shear the calibrated fasteners. In operation, a tubular element furthest from the packer seal on one side of the packer seal is restrained from axial translation whilst a tubular element furthest from the packer seal on the other side of the packer seal is axially translated.
