Abstract: A surgical clip applying instrument (10) is disclosed
which includes a handle portion, a body (20) extending
distally from the handle portion (12) and defining a
longitudinal axis, and a plurality of surgical clips disposed
within the body. A jaw assembly is mounted adjacent a distal
end portion of the body. The jaw assembly (18) includes first
(24a) and second (24b) jaw portions movable between a spaced-apart

provided to individually distally advance a distalmost
surgical clip to the jaw assembly while the jaw portions are
in the spaced-apart position. An actuator (132) at least
partially disposed within the body is longitudinally movable
in response to actuation of the handle portion. A jaw closure
member (146) is positioned adjacent the first and second jaw
portions to move the jaw portions to the approximated
position. The actuator and the jaw closure member define an
interlock (136, 138) therebetween to produce simultaneous
movement of the actuator and the jaw closure member when the
actuator is positioned adjacent the distal end portion of the
body.

Abstract: An electrically conducting polymer thickened grease composition is provided, comprising
     1) a lubricating base oil   2) a polymer thickener   3) an electrically conducting component   4) further additives known per se,     characterised in that the polymeric thickener comprises a mixture of (1) a (co- or homo-)polymer of propylene with a weight average molecular weight > 200.000 and (2) a (co- or homo-)polymer of propylene with a weight average molecular weight < 100.000. . 
     The electrically conducting component is preferably chosen from metal containing additives, especially organo metallic/organo bismuth compounds; anti-static agents, or electrically conducting solids, such as soft metal particles, silver, copper, graphite, bismuth or niobium (IV) sulfide. 
     The grease composition can conduct electricity through the parts of a roller bearing, not only under static conditions, but also during use; this makes the greases especially suited for use in roller bearings with rotating electrical contacts, such as described in SKF's US patent 5 139 425. 
     The grease can further reduce or prevent the build-up of static electricity and spark formation in roller bearings. 
     The grease is prepared by mixing/dissolving the melted polymer thickener with/in a lubricating base oil and incorporating the electrically conducting component and the further additives. 
     After that, the grease composition is cooled from the mixing temperature to room temperature, preferably by "quenching", i.e. rapid cooling within around 30 seconds. After that the grease can be worked to the required consistency. 
     The invention further relates to the use of a polymeric thickener in a preparation of an electrically conducting lubricant grease composition.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus and process for purifying a gas stream comprising a major portion of an inert gas and a minor portion of oxygen are provided. The process involves contacting a feed gas stream (100) first with a membrane separation unit (101) to remove most of the oxygen from the feed gas. Then the non-permeate stream (102A) (or retentate), containing a smaller amount of oxygen, and which may have a varying oxygen concentration, is fed to a catalytic reactor (I) with a hydrocarbon gas (104), which reacts with any residual oxygen to form H 2 O, CO 2  and CO. This stream is then fed to a reactor (II) containing a metal oxide, which reacts with the CO to convert it to CO 2 .

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for control of a beam of radiant energy, wherein a detector of the beam has first and second outputs responsive to a position of the beam. A circuit is coupled to the outputs of the detector for producing an error signal representing a displacement of the beam from a predetermined position, wherein the error signal has a periodic characteristic relative to the displacement. A servo responsive to the error signal restores the displaced beam to the predetermined position. A local feedback loop is coupled to the outputs of the detector, and includes first and second periodic function generators, each responsive to the error signal. The second periodic function generator has an output that differs from an output of the first periodic function generator by a phase angle, preferably 90 degrees. A first multiplier multiplies the first output of the detector by the output of the first periodic function generator. A second multiplier multiplies the second output of the detector by the output of the second periodic function generator, wherein the outputs of the first and second multipliers are provided as inputs of the circuit to modify the error signal. <IMAGE>
