Patent EP-0589247-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SINGER JOHANNES DIPL-ING
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1993-08-31
Abstract: In the transmission system, data signals are transmitted between a transmitting device (SE) and a receiving device (EE) in the form of successive bit groups, the bit groups in each case being formed by a fixed number of data bits and at least one additional bit in the form of a synchronisation bit belonging to an equidistantly distributed synchronisation bit sequence occurring repeatedly periodically. In the receiving device (EE), all bit tracks in each case defined by mutually corresponding bit locations of successive bit groups are simultaneously monitored with respect to the occurrence of the synchronisation bit sequence. During this process, the number of synchronisation bit sequences detected in the respective bit track is in each case determined at fixed time intervals occurring repeatedly periodically. The synchronisation bit track used is the bit track for which the highest number of synchronisation bit sequences has been determined in the respective time interval. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus 10 is disclosed for endoscopic application of surgical staples adapted to attach surgical mesh to body tissue in laparoscopic hernia surgery. The apparatus includes a frame 12, and a generally elongated endoscopic section 14 connected to the frame and extending distally therefrom. A staple storage cartridge 16 is removably supported on a pivotal support system at the distal end portion of the endoscopic section with each staple being configured and adapted to attach the mesh to the body tissue. An elongated pusher system 24 formed of several assembled components and extending from the frame to the endoscopic section is provided for individually advancing at least one staple at a time distally for positioning adjacent the surgical mesh and the body tissue. The pusher system also includes a trigger system 20 to actuate the pusher. The trigger system is provided with perceptible tactile sensing means to indicate when the legs of the staple 110 being advanced are exposed so as to be visible to the user for positioning and orientation purposes. Anvil means 116, 118 provides for individually closing each staple to encompass at least a portion of the surgical mesh and to penetrate the body tissue in a manner to attach the portion of the mesh to the body tissue. 
     Projecting distally of the cartridge support system is a pair of legs which are dimensioned and configured to engage the staple during closure to prevent unwanted roll or deformation outside of the plane of the staple. The staple storage cartridge may be pivoted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the endoscopic section from 0° to about 32.5° and about 65°. Further, the cartridge may be rotated from a proximal location about its own axis independent of the endoscopic section while pivoted to any of the predetermined angles relative to the longitudinal axis of the endoscopic section.

Abstract: A decoupled analogue interface for calibratable electromechanical balances is specified, for the connection of non-calibratable signal processing devices which are configured for the evaluation of dynamic signal components in the output signals of the load cells. It is characteristic of the interface that a coupling amplifier with a very high input resistance is connected in each supply voltage supply lead and each measuring signal output of all load cells of a balance. On the output side, these coupling amplifiers facilitate the connection of the non-calibratable signal processing devices for the utilisation of dynamic components in the measuring signals.

Abstract: An analytical electron microscope automatically identifies objects in a sample (31) on the basis of shape of the object, change of thickness of the object and/or change of element (such as change of element type or concentration). Therefore, the operator of the analytical electron microscope can specify a desired object, and an example or examples of that object in a sample can be identified automatically. The characteristics need to identify the object are determined by detecting the effect of the sample on the electron beam (32) of the analytical electron microscope, using, for example, an energy dispersive type X-ray analyzer (75) and an electron energy loss spectrometer (74). Once an example of the object has been identified, it may be analyzed further. The analytical electron microscope may also analyze a sample (31) to identify and classify the objects present.

Abstract: The packaging consists of an elongate cardboard strip (1) which is wrapped around a product to be packaged, such as a book or tape cassette, placed in the middle region of said cardboard strip. A further cardboard strip (5) which extends in said middle region between mutually opposite longitudinal edges of the cardboard strip (1), is attached thereto, and can be separated along a central perforation line (6) forms two inner flaps (7, 8) for wrapping around the product to be packaged. The cardboard strip (1) wrapped around over the inner flaps forms outer flaps (13, 14). One (13) of the outer flaps has, at the end on the inside, a self-adhesive layer (16) from which a protective paper (17) is to be pulled off in order to make the package ready for despatch quickly. Perforation lines (18) running parallel to the self-adhesive layer, bound a tear strip (19) from whose ends further perforation lines (20) run at a right angle up to the bending line (21) of the outer flap. When the tear strip (19) has been removed, a middle section (22) of the flap can be torn open along the perforation lines (20) in order to remove the contents. In order to reuse the packaging, there is a further self-adhesive layer (23), inwards of and parallel to the tear strip and extending over the width of the flap section (22) which can be torn open, with a protective paper (24) on the outer flap (13) so that the packaging can be sealed again conveniently to be ready for despatch. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A data compression process is disclosed for the storage and/or transmission of digital audio signals. Known processes, such as ASPEC, allow high quality music to be transmitted in a data stream that contains less than 10 % of the information contained in the data stream used in a CD. Known compression processes do not measure up, however, to the requirements of the professional studio technology, as the subsequent processing of the audio signals that takes place in the studio leads to audible disturbances. The disclosed process is insensitive to subsequent processing, such as tandem coding, mixing or fading. To achieve this insensitivity, the transposition of the audio signal from the time domain to the frequency domain is carried out with perfect reconstruction by means of a filter bank, the psychoacoustic masking effect is utilised to an essentially less extent, and a cascade multidimensional Huffman code is used for coding variable word lengths. This process allows audio signals destined to be used in studio technology to be transmitted at a data rate of 192 kbit/sec per channel.

Abstract: Un compresseur rotatif à vis utilise un déchargeur à piston qui se trouve logé dans un alésage éloigné de la chambre de travail du compresseur. La communication entre l'alésage et la chambre de travail se fait par une série d'orifices de régulation qui ne se chevauchent pas. Le piston déchargeur a une extrémité terminale entaillée qui, en fonctionnement, provoque le chevauchement des orifices de décharge. On réalise ainsi un contrôle précis et continu du compresseur sur une portion prédéterminée de sa gamme opérationnelle, pendant que les fuites de gaz dans le compresseur depuis le côté haute pression vers le côté basse pression et l'espace mort des orifices de régulation sont minimisés. L'efficacité du compresseur se trouve ainsi augmentée.
