Title: Low-power signal driver with low harmonic content
Inventor: SVENSSON LARS
IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: A signal driver for reducing harmonic content in switching currents while preventing unnecessary power dissipation. The signal driver includes at least two series-connected semiconductor switches. One of the two switches having a low-threshold, and the other switch having a high-threshold. To discharge a capacitance load connected to one of the two switches, the high-threshold switch is switched on first. Next, the low-threshold switch is switched on. By turning on the two switches in this order, less harmonic content is introduced into the current flowing through the switches. Further, the two switches in series prevent unnecessary current leakage.

Title: Surgical biopsy instrument
Inventor: GEORGE SAMUEL
IPC: A61B17/42
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: A cervical biopsy instrument comprises a shaft defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end and a distal end; an arm extending laterally from the shaft; a cutting portion of cutting wire being supported at an outer end by the arm and being inclined relative to the longitudinal axis; and means for adjusting and setting the inclination and/or length of the cutting portion. This enables a single instrument to deal effectively with differently-sized, shaped and positioned cervical lesions, while tailoring the profile of the excision to the lesion concerned. In the embodiments described, two opposed arms support two cutting portions, requiring 180° of angular movement during excision as opposed to the 360° movement of the prior art. The arms are mounted on a carriage for longitudinal adjustment, and can be bent individually to vary their length and hence the width of cut, which may be asymmetric. A centering means such as a collar is provided to ensure accurate centering within patulous cervical canals.

Title: Oxidized carotenoids, retinoids and related conjugated polyenes, and derived fractions and compounds useful as cell-differentiation inducers, cytostatic agents, and anti-tumor agents
Inventor: BURTON GRAHAM
IPC: C07C403/00
Filed: 1995-08-10
Abstract: beta -Carotene and canthaxanthin, as representative carotenoids, and to a lesser extent, retinoic acid, a representative retinoid, undergo extensive oxidation to yield substances, insofar as oxidized  beta -carotene is a model, which have properties useful as non-toxic agents active against cell proliferation, tumors, and tumorigenic viruses, and useful as promoters of cell differentiation. It is evident from chemical analysis of the highly oxidized  beta -carotene product mixture that none of the various forms of vitamin A are present or are present only in minor amounts. Furthermore, the biological activities of oxidized canthaxanthin and retinoic acid, which cannot form, vitamin A, indicate the presence of active substances that are different from vitamin A. Although the anti-proliferative and differentiation promotion activities of oxidized  beta -carotene resemble those of vitamin A itself, generally the effects are more powerful for oxidized  beta -carotene in a wide variety of circumstances. Unlike vitamin A, the oxidized  beta -carotene of the invention is non-toxic.

Title: Donor-modified olefin polymerization catalysts
Inventor: CARNEY MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: C08F110/02
Filed: 1999-02-11
Abstract: Supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst component adapted for the polymerization of ethylene is provided. More specifically, certain organomagnesium compounds (e.g., dibutylmagnesium) which do not contain an oxygen linkage between the organo moiety and the magnesium are impregnated into a porous inorganic oxide support (e.g., agglomerated silica particles) to form a first reaction product. The first reaction product is halogenated, e.g., with HCl, to convert the organomagnesium derived component to MgCl2 thereby forming a second reaction product. The second reaction product is then treated with a transition metal compound (e.g., TiCl4), a particular type of electron donor (e.g., 2,6-dimethyl pyridine) and optionally at least one Group 2 or 13 organo metal compound (e.g., diethylaluminum chloride). The combination of the particular organomagnesium compounds and electron donor impart a low melt flow ratio and enhanced activity to resulting catalyst component.

Title: Variable inductor
IPC: H01F27/24
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: A variable inductor with a saturable core having three legs, including a center leg and two outer legs. A control winding is wound on the center leg and two outer windings are connected in parallel and wound on the outer legs. The inductances of the windings on the outer legs vary with the current through the control winding. The current through the control winding varies the saturation level of the outer legs. In one embodiment, the inductance of the control winding is substantially constant with a change in current in the control winding. In another embodiment, the outer legs are saturated and the center leg is not saturated. Portions of the core connecting the three legs are tapered down from the cross-section of the center leg to the cross-sections of the outer legs. The invention further includes methods of varying the inductance of an inductive circuit element in accordance with a control current.

The composition is applied as a thermosettable film by extrusion in melt (including plastified) form through an extrusion coating die onto a substrate. There is relative movement between the die and the substrate so that successive areas on the substrate are coated with the thermosettable composition, so as to form a film. The primary substrate is the metal substrate for packaging end use or an intermediate temporary support from which the applied coating is transferred onto the metal substrate for packaging end use. The applied coating is thermally cured after extrusion through the extrusion coating die. Compositions suitable for use in this and other coating processes are described.

Title: Apparatus for deploying an air bag through a hard panel
Inventor: LABRIE CRAIG B
IPC: B60R21/21
Filed: 1999-06-16
Abstract: An apparatus for deploying an air bag through an automotive dash panel (12) includes an air bag door (16) integrally formed in the panel and defined by a door perimeter including a frangible edge (18) of reduced cross section. A dispenser (20) supports the air bag (24) behind the door. A metal reaction plate (28) is positioned between the air bag (24) and the door (16). When the air bag inflates, it forces the reaction plate (28) to bend around a horizontal hinge line (36). As the reaction, plate pivots it concentrates inflation force along a lower portion of the frangible door edge. This helps to predictably separate the door from the dash panel by tearing along the lower door edge and allowing the tear to propagate up two side edges. In one embodiment, the tear also propagates across an upper edge to completely separate the door from the panel. At least one, and preferably two or three tethers (50) limit how far the door can travel during air bag inflation. A stop member may be included to limit reaction plate bending. After deployment, the reaction plate remains in a position that prevents the door from returning to its original position. A retaining structure may be included to preclude at least a portion of the air bag door from tearing free of the vehicle panel. A hinge (44) may be embedded in the panel in a position spanning a portion of the door perimeter. A hollow channel may be formed into the panel along the frangible marginal edge to create a substantial strength differential with the door perimeter to promote bending along the hinge and/or to help confine tearing to the frangible marginal edge during air bag deployment.
