Abstract: A novel advanced set top terminal capable of digital decompression, menu generation, interactivity and other advanced functional capabilities for use in a television program delivery system (200) is described. The invention relates to methods and apparatus for upgrading existing set top terminals (220) to provide menu generation capability and advanced functional capabilities. The invention is particularly useful in television program delivery systems (200) with hundreds of channels of programming, providing (i) menu driven program selection through the addition of an upgrade module (300) or menu generation card and (ii) advanced functional capabilities using a set of hardware upgrades (e.g., 130) and/or an expansion card. Specifically, the invention is an upgradeable system that supports advanced set top functionality through the use of internal software, hardware upgrades, an upgrade module and/or expansion cards. The upgraded hardware generally includes a microprocessor, various input/output ports (e.g., 308), processing circuitry (e.g., 108) and memory (e.g., 116). The invention results in an upgraded set top terminal that supports: menu generation; picture-on-picture displays; program catalogue services; interactive services; telephone caller identification; digital audio reception; VCR control; HDTV reception; and backyard satellite system interoperability, among other features and capabilities.

Abstract: An enhanced reactive plasma processing method and system useful for deposition of highly insulating films. A variety of alternative embodiments are allowed for varying applications. In one embodiment, a tapped inductor is switched to ground or some common level to achieve substantial voltage reversal of about 10% upon detection of an arc condition. This reversal of voltage is maintained long enough to either afford processing advantages or to allow restoration of uniform charge density within the plasma prior to restoration of the initial driving condition. A technique for preventing arc discharges involving periodically either interrupting the supply of power or reversing voltage is effected through a timer system in the power source.

Abstract: Blocking unit for blocking a Fallopian tube. In order to avoid local anaesthetic and difficulty when inserting such a blocking device into the Fallopian tube and, on the other hand, to ensure sufficient anchoring in the Fallopian tube, it is proposed, on the one hand, that the end of the blocking device should be widened and, on the other hand, that it should be such that said widening does not occur until after the insertion into the Fallopian tube. In other words, provision is made for retaining means, in which the widened end is accommodated in the reduced state, which retaining means are rendered inactive after insertion into the Fallopian tube. This can be achieved by, for exemple making these retaining means from a bioabsorbable material or an applicator.

Abstract: A method of emergency smoke inhalation protection of fire fighters in imminent life-threatening situations includes configuring a canister containing a filter medium to evidence use. The canister has an opening through which air enters and has a coupling for attachment to the mask of a standard self contained breathing apparatus in place of a connection to an air tank. When so connected, air drawn into the mask passes through the filter medium within said canister. A use-evidencing mechanism is operatively connected to the canister to indicate use of the air filtering system. This mechanism can be non-reusable covers applied over the opening and coupling, or a sealed package containing the air filtering system. Such devices provide an indication of previous use of the filtering system and inhibit a fire fighter from using the system in an unauthorized manner.

Abstract: A method for post-mold attachment of a handle to a strain-oriented plastic container body. The method utilizes thermal shrinkage of the oriented container body to engage the handle; for example, a highly-oriented recess is molded in the container body and then shrunk to engage a complimentary-shaped lug on the handle. The method is useful for both hot-fillable and pasteurizable containers, and is particularly useful for making larger-sized containers, wherein the weight of the product and size of the container make handling and pouring difficult.
