Abstract: Myocardial revascularization is performed by an apparatus and method which forms channels in the myocardium from inside the ventricular cavity without penetrating the full thickness of the ventricular wall. A catheter has a fiber optic connected at its handling end to a laser, and terminates at the insertable end of the catheter. A servomotor controls the advancing of the fiber to stop positions relative to the catheter. At each stop position another channel is created. An aiming beam aids in directing the channel forming fiber end to different desired channel positions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for rotating a three-dimensional object image (TDI) displayed on a display screen (22), wherein when a panning operation for rotation or for parallel movement is instructed, a panning guide including a circle (CIR) having a size within the display screen and a directional line segment directed from a cursor (CSR) position to the center of the circle and/or a displayable range are displayed by making them overlap the image being displayed, and hemisphere data of a hemisphere (HCB) having a bottom surface the circumference of which is the same as the circle (CIR), is generated. By changing the direction, the length of the directional line segment, and/or the displayable range in accordance with the cursor movement, a new view point on the hemisphere or a new center on the display screen (22) is determined. The new view point is projected to the cursor position when the hemisphere is viewed from its top view. A three-dimensional object image (TDI) is displayed when the three-dimensional object is viewed from the new view point or when the new center becomes the center of the display screen, whereby the operator can easily rotate or move in parallel the three-dimensional object image on the display screen.

Abstract: In a subband encoding system for subband coding of a wideband digital signal constituted by at least first and second signal components (left, right), the digital signal is split up into subbands comprising at least first and second subband signal components. The subband signal components in a subband (m) are constituted by signal blocks of q samples which are represented by a certain number of bits (n mr , n ml ). These numbers (n ml , n mr ) are obtained during a bit allocation step performed in the bit allocation means 7 as a function of bit needs (b mr , b ml ) which are determined in bit need determining means (16.l, 16.r). 
     Determining means (Figs. 2, 6, 7) are provided which determine whether initially bits are to be allocated to a signal block of a signal component (1) in a subband (SB m ) prior to the bit allocation step and irrespective of the bit need (b ml ) or this signal block. 
     There is interaction in the way that if there is determined that initial bit allocation is necessary for a signal block in a subband, an initial bit allocation is also applied to at least a second corresponding signal block in the subband.

Abstract: A communications system has a plurality of stations interconnected by a two-line circuit, which two-line circuit consists of a data bus circuit for transmitting a series of data bits between at least one sending station and at least one receiving station of the plurality of stations and a clock bus circuit for transmitting clock signals in synchronism with each of the data bits. The data bus circuit sends a signal or a command requesting the receiving station to enter a standby or an execute state after taking in data supplied, while a logic value on the clock bus circuit is fixed. In more detail, the sending station transmits signals to make at least one of the receiving stations enter the standby state after taking in data and then sends data to another receiving station, after which the sending station sends a signal or command to make both the first and second receiving stations simultaneously enter the execute state. The signal or command requesting the standby or execute state is added at the end of a data packet containing a series of data. The data packet includes data to be transferred to the receiving station and an address of the receiving station.

Abstract: Stroke-based symbols such as conventional alpha-numerics are formed by individual strokes. Each stroke has intersections or node regions common to two or more strokes and main inter-node body regions unique to a single stroke. Strokes are a primary recognition cue to the human eye and for OCR techniques. The length and orientation of each stroke is determined and entered into a library of extracted strokes for analysis and matching. After selection each stroke is physically cut from the stroke based symbol to assist in selecting the next stroke. The body regions are cut first. The common node regions are temporarily protected to preserve the end nodes of the remaining strokes. Each node is cut during the extraction sequence of the last stroke common to that node. This sequential removal of strokes results in a progressively diminishing symbol residue and a progressively increasing library of extracted strokes.
