Patent CA-2106798-A1 (CA)
Title: Telescoping rod to rod coupler for a spinal system
Inventor: ALLARD RANDALL N
IPC: A61B17/70
Filed: 1993-09-23
Abstract: The telescoping rod to rod coupler of this invention substantially eliminates the chances of the two rod sections disconnecting from one another by providing a relief in the male section to define a hook shaped end. The hook shaped end in association with a clamping screw carried by the female section requires the rod sections to axial rotate 180 degrees in a screw-like manner during assembly and disassembly. The clamping screw constitutes an abutment or stop for engagement with the hook shaped end to provide a positive stop to prevent the sections from accidentally sliding past their extremes and out of engagement with one another during the surgery.      Further, the reliefs provided within the male telescoping section, permit the two rod sections to be firmly affixed to one another with one section axially rotated slightly relative to the other rod section.

Title: Clock Recovery Circuit
Inventor: IWASAKI MOTOYA
IPC: H03H15/00
Filed: 1993-11-24
Abstract: In a clock recovery circuit, an asynchronous oscillator generates a first clock pulse at a frequency n times the frequency of a baseband signal. A sampler samples the baseband signal in response to the first clock pulses. A flip-flop holds and delivers the sampled signal in response to a second clock pulse supplied from a voltage-controlled oscillator. The time difference between the first clock pulse and the second clock pulse is detected and a set of tap-gain values is selected according to the time difference. The sample delivered from the flip-flop is successively delayed by a tapped delay line to produce tap signals which are respectively weighted with the selected tap-gain values. The weighted samples are summed to estimate an intermediate sample. A clock phase error of the estimated sample with respect to the clock timing of the transmitted signal is determined for controlling the VCO.

Title: Multi-Value Dispensing Apparatus
Inventor: MANDULEY FLAVIO M
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 1993-12-13
Abstract: The invention is concerned with a low cost postage value generating apparatus wherein the number of postage imprints are determined rather than an accounting of the postage value.  The apparatus has two movable print heads each having a single value font.  This device is able to print multi-values by using multiple impressions of the two print heads.  Because of this, the number of imprints gives a representation of the total postage value dispensed.
Patent CA-2111981-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOFMANN GEORG
IPC: B22D11/10
Filed: 1992-06-22
Abstract: The invention is directed to an immersion casting pipe for feeding molten steel from a casting vessel into a mold having wide side walls and narrow side walls for the production of flat products.  The immersion casting pipe has a pipe piece which adjoins the casting vessel and expands in cross section in the direction of the narrow side walls of the mold.  The pipe piece is provided with a central base member at the lower end which allows for outlet openings for the melt.  For the purpose of developing an immersion outlet which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and allows higher slab withdrawal speed of up to 6 m/min with slabs measuring 50 to 100 mm in thickness and 600 mm to 2000 mm in width, it is suggested that the inner wall (1) of the portion (4') of the immersion casting pipe (4) which widens in cross section forms flow channels (7) in conjunction with the opposite wall parts (3') of the base member (3), the axes (8) of the flow channels (7) enclosing an angle .alpha. between 10° and 22°, where the smaller angle corresponds to a distance of approximately 600 mm between the narrow side walls 2' of the mold and the larger angle corresponds to a distance of 2000 mm or more between the narrow side walls 2' of the mold, and the distance between the wide side walls (2) of the mold is 50 to 100 mm.
