Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un rétracteur (20) destiné à être utilisé en chirurgie endoscopique. Des instruments à lames placés dans le corps d'un patient par une extrémité d'insertion du rétracteur sont manipulés par des commandes (26) situées à l'extérieur du corps au niveau d'une extrémité de commande. Selon trois modes de réalisation, le rétracteur comprend un corps tubulaire (22) pourvu d'une extrémité d'insertion et de commande. Deux lames (24) sont connectées de manière amovible dans l'extrémité d'insertion du corps. Les lames peuvent être déplacées selon différentes combinaisons, à savoir étirées et dégagées de l'axe longitudinal du corps du rétracteur et/ou écartées l'une de l'autre. Les lames peuvent être actionnées par des commandes (38, 44) qui les déploient à partir de l'extrémité de commande du corps du rétracteur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le rétracteur comprend un corps tubulaire pourvu également d'une extrémité d'insertion et de commande. Trois lames sont fixées de manière amovible à l'extrémité d'insertion du corps. Les lames peuvent être indépendamment étendues radialement vers l'extérieur à partir de l'axe longitudinal du corps du rétracteur. Chaque lame peut être actionnée par une commande indépendante située à l'extrémité de commande du corps.

Abstract: A stent (10) for reinforcing a damaged wall in a body passage such as a vascular passage. The stent (10) takes the form of a sheet (11) of metal foil wound tightly around a spool (12) in a multiple layer roll (13) and held in a contracted state by a sheath (20) sleeved around the roll (13). The spool (11) is inserted into the body passage until the stent (10) is adjacent to the area of the damaged wall. The spool (11) and stent (10) are then advanced while the sheath (20) is held stationary. This pushes the stent (10) out the end of the sheath (20) and releases the stent (10) such that the roll (13) unwinds and expands against the damaged vessel wall.

Abstract: A first reproduced color under signal is delayed by one or two horizontal periods by a delay circuit, and this delayed second reproduced color under signal and the aforementioned first reproduced color under signal have their frequencies converted individually by first and second frequency converters into standard color signals. An oscillatory frequency signals of 2n of carriers for the aforementioned frequency conversions are divided to have the aforementioned carrier frequencies and to produce four carriers having phases of 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. These carriers are selectively fed to the first and second frequency converters by switches so that the two frequency-converted signals are subtracted or added in phase or in opposite phase to clear the noise (or crosstalk component), which is caused by the crosstalk between the tracks.
