Abstract: An arrangement for capturing data from a data stream of a predetermined data transfer rate using a flip-flop, comprises a symmetrical multi-phase clock generator that is adapted to be locked to a reference clock which in turn is adapted to generate a reference clock signal at the data transfer rate or at a fraction thereof. The multi-phase clock generator is adapted to generate "n" clock signals mutually shifted in phase 360°/n from each other. A selector is connected to the clock generator to receive the n clock signals and selects one of these n clock signals as the system clock signal in response to a control signal from a clock phase counter. The clock phase counter is controlled to count up or down in response to the phase of the system clock signal when a predetermined number of data transitions have occurred in the data stream. The flip-flop is controlled by the opposite phase of the system clock signal to capture the data from the data stream.

Abstract: A radially expandable knotless tissue anchor including an expandable outer member defining a bore and an inner member slidably positioned within the bore. Relative longitudinal movement of the inner member relative to the expandable member causes a portion of the expandable member to expand radially outwardly. The tissue anchor further includes a length of suture material having a first end affixed to a distal end of the inner member and a second end preferably affixed to a suturing needle. A transverse bore is provided adjacent the distal end of the inner member. There is also disclosed a method of knotlessly anchoring a section of tissue to a section of bone having a bore drilled therethrough.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un anneau de retenue de tissu qui se combine avec une pluralité d'attaches chirurgicales disposées à l'intérieur d'un élément de charge jetable et qui s'utilise lors d'une anastomose vasculaire. Ladite invention se compose d'un matériau généralement circulaire, semi pliable et équipé d'une série de boucles et de parties arquées alternées. Chacune des boucles forme une ouverture dimensionnée de façon à recevoir l'extrémité distale de l'une des attaches chirurgicales. Lorsque l'instrument est actionné, les attaches chirurgicales sont simultanément déformées à travers l'anneau de retenue de tissu et le tissu lui-même. L'anneau de retenue de tissu maintient le tissu en place le long de l'attache chirurgicale et réduit les risques de glissement du tissu après la déformation.

Abstract: A compression sleeve (1) comprises two sheets of laminated materials welded to form a number of airtight chambers (P1, P2 and P3) between the two layers. Restrictors (5 and 6) interconnect the chambers (P1, P2 and P3). Chambers (P2 and P3) also have orifices (8 and 9) of a predetermined size for exhaust of air to atmosphere. Chamber (P1) is provided with a conduit (14) connecting chamber (P1) to the pump (2). Compressed air is supplied to chamber (P1) by conduit (14). The compressed air inflates the subsequent chambers (P2, P3) through restrictors (5 and 6), giving a sequential rise in pressure to each chamber (P2 and P3). The orifices (8 and 9) to atmosphere, control the leak rate out of each chamber (P2, P3) and are sized to give a predetermined pressure gradient between chambers (P1, P2, P3). The pressure is lower in the successive chambers (P1, P2 and P3), varying the pressure from ankle to calf to thigh.

Abstract: A modal converter having at least one ultrasonic transducer or at least one array of such transducers positioned on the modal converter at various angles relative to a tissue surface and bone tissue surface, such that some combination of one or more of the following occur: longitudinal waves are produced perpendicular to the bone surface, longitudinal waves propagate along the surface of the skin after incidence at the skin tissue surface, and both longitudinal and shear waves propagate along the surface of the bone after incidence at the bone tissue surface. Illuminating an open tissue wound and bone fracture site with these acoustic modes enhances and promotes angiogenesis and the biological endostial or periostial healing phases, or both, of the bone fracture healing process. The spatial and temporal distribution of acoustic waves directed to the treatment area via the ultrasonic transducers and the modal converter may be controlled.

Abstract: Sigma-delta modulation is provided, comprising feeding an input signal to a first SDM, subtracting the output of the first SDM from the input signal, filtering the output of the subtracting to obtain a filtered signal, delaying the input signal, adding the filtered signal to the delayed signal, feeding the output of the adder to a second SDM and providing the output of the second SDM. The first SDM in combination with the subtracting and filtering delivers a correction signal which, by adding it to the input signal, reduces the distortion in the second SDM, which second SDM performs in fact the sigma-delta modulation of the device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tape locking device for tape measures. The tape locking device comprises a locking lever hinged to an upper portion of the wall of the housing in such a way to be rotated frontward and rearward around a hinged joint, and provided with a connecting piece downwardly extending from the locking lever. A cylinder is connected at its first end to a hole formed at the lower portion of the connecting piece, with a coil spring fitted over the cylinder. A wedge-shaped stopper is connected to the second end of the cylinder, and having a desired frictional force. This stopper is elastically biased by the coil spring to be wedged in the gap between the outer circumferential surface of a wound part of the tape around the bobbin and a linear part of the tape led to the slot when releasing the locking lever after drawing a desired length of tape from the slot, so the drawn tape is automatically locked by frictional contact between the stopper surface and the drawn tape surface.

Abstract: An optoelectronic switch position detection apparatus for detecting the switch positions of a switch element movable in switch position steps in a switch direction with each switch position step corresponding to a switch position includes receivers, a light, and a shutter. The receivers are arranged at a distance correspondingly from each other of a switch position step in the switch direction of the switch element. The shutter is coupled to the movement of the switch element to move relative to the receivers and the light as the switch element moves in the switch direction between switch positions. The state of one of the receivers changes between an exposed state in which the receiver is exposed to the light and a shaded state in which the shutter shades the receiver from the light when the switch element moves in the switch direction from one switch position to an adjacent switch position.

Abstract: Refrigeration process for gas liquefaction which utilizes one or more vaporizing refrigerant cycles to provide refrigeration below about -40 DEG C and a gas expander cycle to provide refrigeration below about -100 DEG C. Each of these two types of refrigerant systems is utilized in an optimum temperature range which maximizes the efficiency of the particular system. A significant fraction of the total refrigeration power required to liquefy the feed gas (typically more than 5% and often more than 10% of the total) can be consumed by the vaporizing refrigerant cycles. The invention can be implemented in the design of a new liquefaction plant or can be utilized as a retrofit or expansion of an existing plant by adding gas expander refrigeration circuit to the existing plant refrigeration system.
