Inventor: HOPLER MARK D
IPC: G02B6/26
Filed: 1996-07-31
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une lentille à gradient d'indice (GRIN) (16) faisant passer la lumière d'une fibre optique unique (12) dans un faisceau de fibres (14) ou directement dans le port d'entrée (104) d'un système d'éclairage, médical par exemple. La fibre unique (12) fournit un faisceau de lumière à forte ouverture numérique (ON). La face d'entrée (18) de la lentille (16) est contiguë à l'ouverture de sortie de la fibre (12) à l'intérieur du champ proche (28) de cette dernière, et reçoit ainsi un faisceau présentant une section sensiblement uniforme plutôt qu'une section gaussienne comme ce serait le cas si la lentille (16) était placée dans le champ éloigné de la fibre (12). L'une des faces de sortie de la lentille (GRIN) (100) est contiguë à un faisceau de fibres ou au port d'entrée (104) du dispositif d'éclairage (106). De ce fait, la lentille (16) produit effectivement une image de l'ouverture de sortie de la fibre sur l'ouverture d'entrée du faisceau de fibres comme port d'entrée (104). Les caractéristiques optiques de la lentille (100), y compris sa longueur et les variations radiales de son indice de réfraction, sont sélectionnées pour réduire l'ON de la lumière émise par la fibre (102) à une valeur adaptée à l'utilisation du dispositif d'éclairage (106). L'invention porte également sur un coupleur optique employant des lentilles GRIN (100), ainsi que sur un système optique complet comportant une source lumineuse (108), un coupleur désaxé (110) transférant la lumière dans la fibre (102), une lentille à gradient d'indice (100) et un endoscope (106). Elle porte enfin sur un boîtier mécanique (105) abritant la fibre unique (101) et la lentille GRIN (160) et facilitant le raccordement de la fibre à un faisceau de fibres ou à un port d'entrée (106).

Abstract: A structural member for reinforcement of asphalt and concrete roadways and other products, and which includes a gridwork of warp strands and weft strands which are disposed at right angles to each other and so as to define an open structure. In one embodiment, the gridwork is impregnated with a thermosettable B-stage resin so as to interlock the strands at their crossover points and maintain the gridwork in a semi-flexible state, and after being applied to the product to be reinforced, the resin is heated to convert the same into a fully cured composite to thereby rigidize the gridwork and reinforce the product. In cases where the product to be reinforced is heated, such as asphalt paving, the heat of the product provides the heat necessary to fully cure the resin in situ. In another embodiment, the resin is fully cured to rigidize the gridwork prior to its being applied to the structure to be reinforced. A method of producing the resin impregnated gridwork is also disclosed.

Abstract: An infrared thermometer such that the measurand
includes no error which may be caused due to the transmission
of the heat from an object (especially, an external auditory
canal), into which a probe is inserted to the probe, to a
waveguide and an infrared sensor. In a temperature detecting
section where an infrared sensor (40), a waveguide (60) and a
temperature sensor (68) are provided in a probe (20), a second
thermally conductive tube (34) is so provided between the probe
(20) and the waveguide (60) as to be heat insulated from the
waveguide (60) and the infrared sensor (40). Thus, the heat
from the probe (20) is not transmitted to the waveguide (60)
and the infrared sensor (40).

IPC: A61M5/145
Filed: 1996-12-11
Abstract: A liquid drug delivery device is adapted to be adhered to the skin of a subject by a base member defining a skin-contacting surface having an adhesive coating. A columnar cartridge serves as reservoir for the drug and is incorporated in a housing which is connected to the base member such that in use the longitudinal axis of the cartridge is disposed substantially parallel to the skin-contacting surface. A delivery needle communicating in use with the interior of the cartridge penetrates the skin of the subject when the housing snaps downward relative to the base member. This action also causes the actuation of a citric acid/sodium bicarbonate gas generator which generates a gas to move a piston within the cartridge, compressing the drug compartment. This compression causes a stopper to be penetrated by a conduit in communication with the delivery needle, allowing the drug to be ejected from the compartment through the needle and into the subcutaneous tissue of the subject.

Abstract: In a data processing system in which main and sub disk storage devices  5 ,  10  are each under the control of individual disk control devices  3 ,  8 , the write processing time is reduced by selectively sending data according to a command-chaining time between the main and sub disk control devices. A section  36  for judging cable length and function of the sub disk control device  8  estimates the command-chaining time between a pair of main and sub disk storage devices. A channel command analysing section  31  estimates the number of records to be transferred and the length of a record using a LOCATE RECORD command. The command judgement section  32  for the sub disk control device  8  optimises the command chain to be issued to the sub disk control device using the above-mentioned information. A command issuing section  35  then issues the optimised command chain to the sub disk control device  8 . Thus, a shorter transmission time is realised by sending either individual records or an entire track of data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles particularly
sanitary napkins, pantiliners, adult incontinence products which have
side cuffs or baby diapers. In particular the present invention relates to
such disposable absorbent articles with side cuffs which are maintained
in their in use position by direct attachment to the skin of the wearer. The
topical adhesive attachment of such side cuffs needs to be secure and
pleasing upon application and during use of such articles, yet cause no
discomfort upon removal of the article. This is achieved by the present
invention selecting the rheological characteristics of adhesives for such
articles.

Abstract: The head is used with magnetic tape which has a number of close parallel tracks. A magneto-optical transducer (18) has a narrow straight gap (34') in a magnetic circuit and a continuous, preferably anisotropic, magnetic film (32) extending along the length of the straight gap. A beam of light (12), used to read the tape, is incident to the read head and very close to the linear gap (34'). The beam is modulated by the magnetic film and falls on a linear photo-sensitive detector so following of the tape tracks is made easier by the continuous film. Reading of the tracks is performed by the relative displacement of the detector with respect to the image projected by the beam of light on the detector without movement of the head with respect to the magnetic tape.

IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: In order to prevent data corruption and inconsistency caused by incorrect
assumption regarding a presumably failed node and/or program, a fail-fast timer
mechanism enforces deadlines, i.e. enforces timeliness in programs. For example, given a
program which needs to ensure a given code segment is executed within a specified
deadline, the program arms a fail-fast timer before executing the code segment. After
completing the execution of the code segment, the program disarms the fail-fast timer. If
the program executes too slowly and the fail-fast timer expires before the fail-fast timer has
been disarmed, the entire node is forced to stop very quickly (i.e. the node fails fast). The
fail-fast timer of the present invention also triggers if the program exits before disarming a
previously armed timeout.
