Abstract: A syringe includes a barrel having a cannula at one end and a plunger at its opposite end whereby fluid may be drawn into or expressed from the barrel by translatory movement of the plunger relative to the barrel. A white ink receptor coating is provided on the barrel at manufacture and on which coating writing may be applied by the medical practitioner using a common ordinary writing implement such as a ballpoint pen. By locating the ink receptor coating diametrically opposite the index markings on the syringe barrel and providing the coating in a white color, the index markings may be readily read against the contrasting white background to ascertain the quantity of fluid within the syringe barrel.

Abstract: The invention concerns a recording medium for optically readable data of the multilayer type, a method for making same and an optical system for reproducing said data for reading the medium. The medium (Sb) comprises a stack of layers (C1 to CN) whereof the interfaces constitute planes (P1 to PN) bearing slightly phase-shifting information elements. Said planes generate a relatively significant disturbance of the transmitted beam while diffracting only a very small part of the light passing through them. The reading beam (FI) is focused on the bearing plane and reading is performed by transmission. The disturbances caused by the neighbouring defocused layers are eliminated by far field detection of only the low spatial frequencies in the transmitted beam. The invention is particularly useful for very high capacity data optical storage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the provision of highly reliable article information to customers in relationship to the electronic transaction of secondhand articles. Taking trading in secondhand construction machines as an example, when a construction machine 80 is used, the current location and cumulative operating hours of that machine 80 are monitored regularly or as required and stored as usage history on a data base 31. Also, photographs of the construction machine are taken as required while it is in use, and stored as usage history on a data base 31. Furthermore, history of the service (maintenance, repairs, and inspections) of the construction machine 80 is also stored on a data base 31. When the construction machine 80 in use is sold as a secondhand article, the current state (for example, the current cumulative operating hours), usage history, and service history of the construction machine 80 stored in the data base 31 is provided to a customer's terminal 60 from the sales server 32 via the Internet. The current state of the construction machine 80 is updated as it is used.

Abstract: A method of repairing or refurbishing a filter screen is described. The type of screen is
defined in the specification. The repair or refurbishment is effected by stripping worn or
damaged wirecloth from the surface of the frame (10) and placing fresh cloth (158,159) over the frame (10)
and tensioning it as appropriate. Heat is then applied so as to soften surfaces of the frame (10)
over which wirecloth (158,159) is stretched, so that the latter can penetrate softened plastics material
in the surfaces and become embedded therein. The frame (10) and its associated fresh cloth (158,159) is
allowed to cool, after which the applied tensioning is removed. Exposed edges of the
wirecloth (158,159) can be trimmed back to the surrounding flange. Plastics material may be applied
to the surface of the frame (10) which is to receive the new wirecloth (158,159), before the latter is fitted,
to provide additional plastics material for bonding the wirecloth to the frame. Alternatively
the stripped frame (10) may be inserted in a mould, and fresh polymer material is injected into
the mould so as to reform ridges (30,32) on the surfaces of the frame (10) similar to those which
existed when the frame (10) was first manufactured, before the wirecloth is applied thereto.

Abstract: The object of this invention is to suppress an
offset of the switching magnetic field of a memory
layer caused by a static magnetic field from a pinned
layer in a magnetoresistive element used as a memory
element. The magnetoresistive element is constituted
by sequentially stacking a first magnetic layer (1)
magnetized perpendicularly to the film surface, an
insulating layer (N2), and a second magnetic layer
(2) magnetized perpendicularly to the film surface.
The coercive force of the second magnetic layer (2)
is higher than that of the first magnetic layer (1).
The resistance value upon flowing a current between
the first magnetic layer (1) and the second magnetic
layer (2) via the insulating layer (N2) changes
depending on the relative angle in magnetization
between the first magnetic layer (1) and the second
magnetic layer (2). In this magnetoresistive element,
a magnetic field applied from the second magnetic
layer (2) to the first magnetic layer (1) is set
smaller than the coercive force of the first magnetic
layer (1).

Patent EP-1249824-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WALKER RICHARD C
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: The display device (100) operates in response to an information signal and
comprises analog drive circuits (e.g., 114) in a two-dimensional array (102) of rows
and columns, an analog sampling circuit (122) that derives the analog samples (e.g.,
125) from the information signal, and a sample distribution circuit (124). The
sample distribution circuit receives the analog samples from the analog sampling
circuit and distributes them to the analog drive circuits. The sample distribution
circuit includes input gates (e.g., 152) corresponding to the analog drive circuits,
column busses (e.g., 131 2 ) corresponding to the columns of the array, and a row
selector (134) having outputs corresponding to the rows of the array. The column
busses distribute the analog samples column-wise to the analog drive circuits. The
input gates selectively connect the analog drive circuits to the column busses. Each
output of the row selector is connected to control the input gates in one of the
rows. The row selector sequentially opens the input gates in the rows to perform a
row-wise selection of the analog samples on the column busses. 
     A grey scale is generated by modulating light using an electro-optical
material (31). An analog sample (e.g, 125) is derived from the information signal, a
drive signal is generated in response to the analog sample, and the drive signal is
applied to the electro-optical material. The drive signal generated in response to the
analog sample includes a sequence (e.g., ILLUM) of a first temporal portion (1 TP)
having a time duration that has a pre-determined relationship to the analog sample,
and a second temporal portion (2 TP) that is the temporal complement of the first
temporal portion.

Abstract: A voltage regulator may include one or more features for generating high PSRR. For
example, source follower devices may be included in the voltage regulator for providing
current sources for the output voltage nodes. The source followers may be sensitive to power
supply noise at the gate terminal. Filters are included on the gate terminals to filter the power
supply noise, thus reducing the noise at the gate terminals. As another example, the voltage
regulator may employ current sources on the output voltage nodes which produce current
inversely proportional to the current drawn by the load. In one embodiment, the voltage
regulator may include a power control circuit used to provide overvoltage protection during
power up. The power control circuit provides a voltage during power up, and ceases providing
the voltage after a time interval so that the circuit may operate.
