Patent EP-0829735-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DAIGLE RONALD E
IPC: A61B8/00
Filed: 1997-09-11
Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is
provided with a personal computer platform which
processes digital echo signals and produces
ultrasonic image signals for display. The expansion
bus structure of the personal computer platform
accommodates ancillary processors such as beamformer
cards, digital signal processing cards, video cards,
and network cards which may be necessary or desirable
for the ultrasound system. In a preferred embodiment
the digital signal samples produced by a beamformer
connected to the expansion bus are processed for
display by software executed by the CPU of the
personal computer platform. A preferred software
architecture for the personal computer based
ultrasound system consists of multiple object
oriented software tasks, executing under a realtime,
multitasking operating system which is both efficient
and robust. Performance upgrades of the entire
ultrasound system are effected by simple replacement
of the CPU with a higher performance CPU, thus
providing continual ultrasound system performance
improvements in consonance with the evolution of
personal computer CPU technology.

Abstract: Electroacoustical transducing apparatus includes an
input for receiving an audio electrical signal. A first
electroacoustical transducer is constructed and arranged to
radiate first sound waves in a first direction in a first
frequency range in response to an audio electrical signal
on the input. A second electroacoustical transducer is
constructed and arranged to radiate sound energy in a
second direction in a second frequency range. A third
electroacoustical transducer is constructed and arranged to
radiate sound energy in a third direction within the second
frequency range. Intercoupling circuitry intercouples the
input with the second transducer and the third transducer
and is constructed and arranged to cause the second
transducer and the third transducer to radiate sound energy
in the second and third directions in response to an audio
electrical signal on the input relatively phased with
respect to energy radiated in the second frequency range by
the first transducer in the second and third directions in
phase opposition therewith to oppose radiation in second
and third directions from the first transducer within the
second frequency range, the first frequency range being
greater than and embracing the second frequency range.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système miniature de réfrigération à base d'un mélange de gaz, ainsi que le procédé de fonctionnement de ce système. Un mélange optimisé de gaz est formulé à partir d'un groupe de fluides constituants, en fonction des propriétés thermodynamiques calculées d'un groupe de mélanges candidats de fluides. Le mélange de gaz est comprimé par un compresseur à une pression inférieure à 240 psia pour des raisons de sécurité. Ce mélange de gaz comprimé est mis en circulation à travers un échangeur de chaleur primaire, puis à travers un échangeur de chaleur primaire-à-secondaire, de manière à effectuer le refroidissement préalable du mélange de gaz. Le côté secondaire de l'échangeur de chaleur primaire-à-secondaire est refroidi par un système secondaire de réfrigération de Joule-Thomson. Des limitations de débits correctement dimensionnées du côté primaire de l'échangeur de chaleur primaire-à-secondaire peuvent solidifier et piéger des contaminants liquides éventuellement présents dans le mélange de gaz. Le mélange de gaz sortant par la sortie primaire de l'échangeur de chaleur primaire-à-secondaire circule vers un élément primaire de dilatation dans lequel le gaz sous pression élevée est dilaté de façon isenthalpique à une température inférieure égale à 183 K au moins. Ce gaz à basse température refroidit un élément de transfert thermique monté dans la paroi extérieure du cathéter, afin de refroidir un objet extérieur. Le gaz de retour recircule à travers l'échangeur de chaleur primaire, de manière à refroidir de nouveau préalablement le mélange d'arrivée de gaz sous pression élevée. On peut ajouter un échangeur de chaleur primaire distal entre l'échangeur de chaleur primaire-à-secondaire et l'élément primaire de dilatation.

Title: Recipient en polymere nanocomposite
Inventor: FRISK PETER
IPC: B29C49/06
Filed: 1997-07-07
Abstract: Le récipient de la présente invention est composé d'un matériau polymère incorporé dans une pluralité de particules nanogranulométriques d'un minéral argileux dont l'action renforce les propriétés barrières du récipient. Le matériau polymère peut être un polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET) ou un copolymère de polyéthylène téréphtalate (COPET) ou un quelconque mélange des deux composés. Le récipient en polymère nanocomposite réduit la perméabilité à divers gaz sans modifier sensiblement le procédé permettant de fabriquer des récipients composés de matériaux en PET ou COPET, et sans altérer les récipients eux-mêmes. On doit ces propriétés du récipients en polymère nanocomposite de l'invention à la quantité minimale d'argile incorporée dans le matériau polymère (entre 0,1 % et 10 % en poids du récipient). La faible quantité d'argile fournit une barrière substantielle en raison du rapport d'allongement élevé des particules d'argile qui varie entre 100 et 2000. Le récipient en polymère nanocomposite peut être fabriqué par polimérisation in situ, par intercalation d'une solution ou par exfoliation de matières fondues visant à incoporer le minéral argileux dans la matrice du matériau polymère. Ledit minéral argileux peut être une smectite, une vermiculite, une halloysite ou un quelconque analogue synthétique de ladite substance. L'espèce montmorillonite des argiles smectiques est cependant préférée.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and
method for communicating data between a source
application process and one or more destination
application processes. This system and method perform
conversion and routing functions which require only a
single conversion of all outbound transmissions
regardless of the variety of destinations, and only a
single conversion of all inbound transmissions
regardless of the variety of sources. The functions
also enable changes, additions, and deletions of
sources and destinations of transmissions to be made
without modification of a source or destination
application process and without taking a source or
destination application process off-line. The
functions further enable this system and method to be
implemented in virtually any enterprise architecture
without requiring that each processing system of the
architecture be custom built. These conversion and
routing functions are performed by first receiving data
to be transmitted in a source format from a source
application. This data are then converted from the
source format to a standard format. Next, one or more
destinations are identified in a database using a
transaction type corresponding to the data and/or the
address of the source application. After identifying 
the one or more destinations, a copy of the data is
transmitted to each and the data are then converted
from the standard format to a destination format.
Lastly, this converted data are passed to the
destination process.

Abstract: A multiple master typeface can generate and display kanji
characters. The graphical elements of the characters in the
typeface are classified into shape types, and a glyph set is
provided for each shape type. Each glyph set contains base
glyphs which represent the variations in the shape type. To
generate the character, the shape type of and position of each
element in the character is identified. For each element in the
character, a weighting factor is determined for each base glyph
in the glyph set for the shape type of that element. A composite
element is created from the base glyphs in the glyph set for the
shape type of that element. The relative contribution of each
base glyph to the composite element is determined by the
weighting factors determined for that element and that base
glyph. To display the character, the composite elements are
placed in the identified positions. An instance of a character
may be generated from the master characters by interpolating
between the master characters on an element by element basis.
