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.

Abstract: The invention relates to starch used in the food industry, more specifically to starch used in processed foodstuff that, at least in one processing step, is subject to heat and, or shear treatment. The invention provides use of modified starches and methods to use these in foodstuffs (soups, (dairy) desserts, sauces, creams, dressings, fillings and such), that, when used in preparing foodstuff that is subject to heat and/or shear treatment, provide said foodstuff with the so desired smooth, short textures and shiny appearance, even after prolonged treatment where use of other starches would render the product slimy, coarse or dull.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining a position of a mobile terminal that includes a satellite radiotelephone and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver based on knowledge of the position of the communication satellite spot-beam in which the mobile terminal is located. Using knowledge of the location of the communication satellite spot-beam, the present invention can resolve the one-millisecond ambiguity, that typically arises from the code repeat length where relative code phase may be determined but absolute code phase (i.e. one millisecond increments) could be off by one or more code periods. The spot-beam identifier is obtained from the satellite communication system and used to determine the geographic location of the spot-beam. Trial positions, i.e., candidate mobile terminal positions, are then selected to cover the spot-beam area, with spacing between trial positions provided to account for the one-millisecond ambiguity. Pseudo-range measurements are generated for each trial position and used to generate position fixes. The best position fix, for example a fix selection based on a self-consistency check, is then selected as the mobile terminal's position. In an additional aspect of the present invention, the number of trial positions is reduced by selecting an arc of positions within the spot-beam as trial positions based on timing delay information from the satellite communication system.

The latching element includes a latching pawl that is flexibly deflectable parallel to the insertion axis, between a latched position for engaging the closure element and an unlatched position for releasing the closure element. An unlatching pin of an adapter is inserted to deflect the latching pawl to disengage it from the closure element. This unlocks the receptacle for use. Then the contact pins of the plug may be inserted through holes in the adapter and into the socket openings to press sloping surfaces of the closure element to slide the closure element to the open position.

Abstract: A mounting block and an improved mounting arrangement for apparatus used in metal melting, refining and processing, particularly those apparatus adapted to steel making in an electric arc furnace, such as burners, lances and the like with supersonic oxygen lancing capability. The mounting block is fluid cooled to survive the hostile environment of the electric arc furnace and is designed to rest on the step between the side wall and hearth of the furnace without any substantial change to the structure of the furnace. The mounting block comprises a plurality of fluid cooling conduits surrounding an aperture which is formed through the block and adapted to mount the apparatus. The mounting arrangement includes utilizing the mounting block to mount an apparatus with supersonic oxidizing gas or lancing capability in an electric arc furnace. The apparatus is mounted by passing it through an aperture in a water cooled side panel aligned with the mounting aperture in the mounting block. Because the mounting block is approximately the width of the step, the discharge opening of the apparatus is moved closer to the surface of the melt and toward the center of the furnace thereby providing increased efficiency. The discharge opening will now also extend past the inner edge of the step so that the oxidizing gas flow pattern does not degrade the hearth material and other furnace equipment mounted nearby.
