Patent EP-0433707-A3 (EP)
Title: Receiver for a digital auxiliary signal in a digital communication system
IPC: H04L25/49
Filed: 1990-11-26
Abstract: According to a prior patent application, the digital user data signal is transmitted in CMI code and, when the code is generated, a binary signal content of the auxiliary signal is allocated to one of the element combinations excluded according to the CMI code rule. Since only the start of a one bit or zero bit of the auxiliary signal is marked, pulses which severely impede the generation of a clock signal occur at the receiving end at comparatively large intervals only. According to a parallel application, a clock pulse pattern is therefore transmitted with sporadic data pulses. The described receiver is able to generate a new clock signal from the clock pulse pattern without the jointly transmitted data pulses being able to cause phase interference. The entire arrangement can be set up fully integrated in CMOS technology. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for esophageal invagination and devices useful therein
IPC: A61B17/30
Filed: 1991-10-10
Abstract: A technique for invaginating the esophagus (20) at the gastroesophageal junction (10) is disclosed, as well as an invagination device (70) useful in the described technique. The invagination device includes an introducer guide (75) which has an outside diameter approximating that of the esophagus and a plurality of needle-receiving lumens (78) extending to its outer diametric surface. The invagination device also has an engagement assembly which includes 10 needles (88), each having a retracted position in which they lie within the needle-receiving lumens of the introducer guide, and an extended position in which they extend out of the lumens and project radially from the guide for engagement with the esophagus at the gastroesophageal junction. The invagination device is introduced transorally into the esophagus, its engagement assembly is activated to place the needles in their extended position in engagement with the esophagus, and the engaged invagination device is advanced the toward the stomach to fold the attached esophagus beyond the gastroesophageal junction. A remotely operable fastening assembly (50), which has been introduced into the stomach through an operating channel/insufflation port, is then operated to fasten the invaginated gastroesophageal junction to the surrounding involuted fundic wall. Finally, the needles are retracted back into their needle-receiving lumens and the invagination device and the fastening assembly are removed from the body of the patient. This minimally-invasive technique accomplishes the formation of a new valve between the esophagus and stomach, thus preventing acid reflux.

Title: State estimating apparatus of a system on the basis of recorded input/output data for the system
Inventor: TSUTSUI HIROAKI
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 1993-08-25
Abstract: In a state estimating apparatus, an input
space quantization section quantizes an input space
according to a required precision of output data. A
storage section calculates and stores as a causal
relationship model the number of times of occurrence of
output data corresponding to each input event in the
quantized input space, and the mean values of the output
data and the change amounts of the output data. Based
on continuous mapping of a topology, a neighborhood
definition (or pre-processing) section calculates an
input space neighborhood satisfying the required
precision of the output, as a statistical amount of all
input data of the case data and expresses the
neighborhood as a quantization number. A similar case
extraction section zooms up the predetermined
neighborhood of the input space to the predetermined
degree and extracts input case similar to the
neighborhood from input case in the input space. A
similarity determination section determines the
similarity between the new input event and the extracted
similar input cases on the basis of the degree of
zooming. An estimating section selects input cases
corresponding to the similarity from the similar input
case, and estimates a value of output data corresponding
to the new input event on the basis of the mean value of 
output data and the mean value of change amounts of the
output data.

Title: Method for producing titanium particles
Inventor: YOLTON CHARLES F
IPC: F27D11/06
Filed: 1990-08-24
Abstract: Titanium is induction melted to produce a molten mass thereof and a water-cooled crucible (10) have a nonoxidizing atmosphere and a bottom opening (22). The current to the coil (30) used for induction melting is adjusted to produce a levitation effect on the molten mass (34) in the crucible (10) to prevent the molten mass (34) from flowing out of the bottom opening (22). The molten mass (34) is also maintained out-of-contact with the crucible (10) by providing a solidified layer (36) of titanium between the molten mass (34) and the crucible (10). After production of the molten mass (34) of titanium, the current to the induction coil (30) is reduced to reduce the levitation effect and allow the molten mass (34) to flow out of the bottom opening (22) of the crucible (10) as a free-falling stream (38) of molten titanium. The free-falling stream (38) from the crucible is directed to a tundish (48) from which the molten mass flows through a nozzle (54) for atomization. The spherical particles (42) produced by atomization are cooled to solidify them and are then collected. <IMAGE>

Title: Parallelized difference flag logic
IPC: G06F5/14
Filed: 1993-05-19
Abstract: Difference flag logic suitable for use in a FIFO memory is modified to quickly 
generate FIFO flag status without the use of subtractor circuitry. Bit comparators, which 
determine if a first bit is less than, equal to, or greater than a second bit, of a magnitude 
comparator are divided into groups which generate compare output signals in parallel to 
one another, thereby reducing total magnitude comparator delay and resulting in faster 
operation. These compare output signals are the inputs of a control element which 
determines which compare output signal is allowed to pass through as the final compare 
output signal. The subtractor function is replaced by offsetting the read count from the 
write count by a value equal to the desired FIFO flag value. In addition, control of 
selected bits, such as the most significant bits (MSBs), of the numbers is included and 
may be used as necessary to avoid a wrap-around condition.
