Title: Modular ligation clip applicator
Inventor: CONNERS JOHN A
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 1993-05-27
Abstract: A two-part surgical ligation clip includes a track having two substantially symmetrical arms and a clip for slidably receiving the track. The symmetrical arms are connected together at a proximal end to form an apex and have spaced-apart tips at a distal end with first complementary surface. The track also includes a connector connected to the apex and having a second complementary surface. The clip has an extended slot for slidably engaging the track and distal end tips for receiving the connector. A distal end of the clip has a first contour surface for engaging the first complementary surface on the track and locking it in a closed position and a second contour surface for engaging the second complementary surface on the track and locking it in an open position. A two-part ligation clip applicator, which is also disclosed, comprises a handle assembly having a squeezable trigger and an elongated shaft connected at its proximal end to the handle assembly. The elongated shaft houses a sliding advancer which is actuated by squeezing the trigger to move axially in a forward direction in the shaft. In addition, a module is mountable at a distal end of the elongated shaft and supports a ligation clip. The module has a cartridge housing, latches pivotably mounted within the housing for gripping first part of the ligation clip, and a sliding pusher slidable within the housing by actuation of the advancer to engage the second part of the ligation clip and advance it relative to the first part to close the first part.

Abstract: An automated transaction system employs a terminal for printing a value indicia, such
as a postmark, on an article. The terminal contains a modular printer unit which has a
printhead and a dedicated microprocessor physically permanently bonded together such
that the printhead microprocessor cannot be physically tampered with without disabling
the printhead. The modular printer unit includes a first supply of visible ink and a
second supply of invisible ink, and an internal program for printing the value indicia
with visible ink and an authentication code, which uniquely corresponds to the value
indicia, with invisible ink. The invisible value indicia can be subsequently verified as
authentic by machine reading of said invisible authentication code and comparing the
authentication code for correspondence to the value indicia.

Abstract: A method encodes a contour of an object expressed in a
digital video signal, the video signal having a plurality of
video frames including a current and a previous frames, by
using an improved contour motion estimation. Centroids of a
current and a previous contours are first determined by
averaging pixel positions on each contour, respectively, and
a displacement therebetween is outputted as a motion vector.
The previous contour is shifted based on the motion vector in
order to produce the predicted current contour. Deviation
information representing the difference between the predicted
current and the current contours is detected based on the
predicted current and the current contours and the centroid of
the current contour and then is encoded.

Abstract: A system for verifying that a card possessor is the
authorized card owner compares scanned fingerprint data
with fingerprint data encoded on an optical card. More
than one of the person's fingerprints are encoded on
the card, and the process of identification of the card
possessor involves the random selection of separate
fingerprints for scanning and comparison- against the
encoded fingerprints. A card reader/writer reads
fingerprint characteristic information from an optical
card inserted therein and a processing unit, connected
to a fingerprint scanner and card reader/writer
extracts from the scanned fingerprint certain well
known indicators, and matches the recorded fingerprint
characteristic data with the scanned fingerprint
characteristics to establish identity therebetween.

Abstract: A laser rangefinding system utilizes multiple pulse,
multiple return, modal range processing for clutter
rejection. A laser source (58) emits a series of laser
beam pulses (60), and each reflected return from objects
(54, 56) in a scene (52) for each of the pulses (60) is
recorded. Each return signal above a predetermined

selected bin representing the range of the return signal.
After all of the analog return signals are recorded, the
range bin with the most counts is selected as the range
of a target (54).

Abstract: A method and a system for detecting a user signal in a CDMA network.
(Coded) user message bits are grouped into successive groups. A differential phase is
generated for each message bit group by mapping each message bit group on to a
predetermined PSK constellation. An absolute phase is generated for each message bit
group based on the differential phase for the current message bit group and the absolute
phase for the preceding message bit group. The absolute phase signal is phase keyed to an
RF carrier to form an RF signal. The RF signal is spread using two code sequences and the
spread RF signal is transmitted. At the receiver, the RF signal is received and non-coherently
demodulated. The demodulated RF signal is despread using the code
sequences. Successive blocks of the demodulated, despread RF signal are phase compared
for extracting the differential phase signal carrying the (coded) user message.

Abstract: A compound disc is used to eliminate a secondary slot normally formed between
adjacent shafts of a material separation screen. The compound disc comprises a primary disc (172)
joined to an associated secondary disc (176). The primary disc and the secondary disc each have
the same shape but the secondary disc has a smaller outside perimeter (178) and is wider. The
primary disc and associated secondary disc are formed from a unitary piece of rubber. The
compound discs are interleaved with oppositely aligned compound discs on adjacent shafts.
In other words, the large disc is positioned on a shaft to align with a smaller disc on an
adjacent shaft. The oppositely aligned and alternating arrangement between the large discs
and small discs reduce problems that exist in screens that use in-line multi-sided discs.
