Title: Surgical irrigator/evacuator
Inventor: WATTS GEORGE THOMAS
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1983-03-17
Abstract: A surgical implement comprising an irrigator/evacuator includes a reservoir (14) connected to one side of the barrel (10) of a pump having an outlet opening (11) at one end. Fluid can be displaced outwardly and withdrawn into the implement by means of a compression bulb (12) or other suitable device. A free piston (15) is housed in the barrel (10) so as to be movable in either direction by fluid flow. The piston is retracted by inflowing liquid and thereby allows free passage of pieces of tissue or other material from the opening (11) towards the reservoir (14). Outward displacement of the fluid causes the piston (15) to move towards the outlet end of the barrel (10), in which position it effectively prevents such pieces of tissue from being returned through the opening (11) without significantly restricting fluid flow.

Title: Receiver for a digital data communication system
Inventor: BERLEMANN JOCHEM
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1984-01-10
Abstract: In the data communication system, the data is transferred block by block using an error-correcting code. The receiver contains a bit-synchronizing circuit (3) and decoding and error- correcting circuits (6, 4, 7). The regenerated bit stream appearing at the output of the bit-synchronizing circuit (3) is fed to a delay circuit (10, 11) consisting of at least two stages. The bit streams at the input of the delay circuit, after the first stage (10), and at the output of the delay circuit are each fed to one of the decoding and error- correcting circuits (6, 4, 7). A selection circuit (12) following the decoding and error-correcting circuits transfers a selected error-corrected bit stream to its output (A). Error correction thus remains possible, although major changes in signal transmit time may occur. <IMAGE>

Title: Arrangement for converting an analog video signal into a two-level signal
Inventor: THOONE MARTINUS LEONARDUS GERA
IPC: H04N1/403
Filed: 1984-02-20
Abstract: An analog video signal x(t), which may be produced by line-wise scanning of a document (for example for facsimile transmission), is applied together with a reference signal r(t) to a comparator circuit of an arrangement for converting the analog video signal into a two-level signal. In order to prevent the output signal of this comparator circuit from being effected by irregularities of the document such as irregularities in the fibre structure or contamination of the paper, or non-uniformly distributed ink and in order to limit the loss of information when the document has grey or coloured areas, the reference signal r(t) is formed by the sum of weighted versions of two or more auxiliary reference signals. A first auxiliary reference signal r1(t) is equal to the average value of a number (N) of instantaneous values of the analog video signal. A second auxiliary reference signal r2(t) is equal to the intermediate value of the analog video signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Catalytic Gas Detection Systems
Inventor: WILSON RONALD
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 1984-05-09
Abstract: Intermittent measurements of gas concentration are made using a "pellistor" or like catalytic sensing element while avoiding lengthy heating-up times. The resistor (17) of the element, serving both as heater and thermal sensor, is connected in a bridge network (ABCD) having an associated servo loop which controls current supplied to the network (ABCD) via a transistor (21). An operational amplifier (23) in the loop is switched from a quiescent state, when the network (ABCD) is substantially de-energised, to an active state, when sufficient current is supplied to heat the element to operating temperature, and subsequently back to the quiescent state after a steady state condition is reached wherein the servo loop operates to hold the element at constant temperature; a voltage appearing on an output line (Y) is sampled while that condition applies to provide the measurement. Compensation for ambient temperature variations is effected by means of a simple reference voltage circuit incorporating a semiconductor diode (12) and a reference device (41), the diode being mounted on the same block and adjacent the resistor (17), the output voltage being compared with the reference voltage. <IMAGE>
