Abstract: An endoscopic surgical procedure and instruments are disclosed for the treatment of transverse carpal ligaments and similar anatomical structures. The procedure enables the release of the carpal ligament under endoscopic control and through only a single incision. A uniquely shaped grooved cannula (30) is provided to enable access to the carpal tunnel while also stabilizing instruments used in the procedure. The procedure involves the insertion of the cannula (30) into the carpal tunnel through a single incision. The cannula (30) has a longitudinal groove (40) which is positioned to face or abut the ligament and which axially receives an endoscope (50) through its proximal open end and obliquely receives a knife (54) which is then positioned to cut the ligament from the side where the scope (50) is placed. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved photoionization ion mobility spectrometer is disclosed which utilizes a flashlamp as the source for ionization. A gas sample is introduced via a carrier gas into a ionization chamber which is part of the spectrometer cell. Ionizable molecules contained in the injected gas sample are ionized by the ultraviolet light emitted from the flashlamp. The ionized molecules are attracted by an electrostatic drift field into a drift chamber and travel therethrough against the flow of a drift gas counter-current thereto until they are captured by a collector located in the drift chamber opposite to the ionization chamber. A dopant with an effective ionization potential lower than the photon energy of the emitted light can be introduced into the ionization chamber to further improve the sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract: A high efficiency static series resonant converter and method for converting power between two electric AC and/or DC circuits includes a resonant tank coupled to a link current synthesizer for generating a train of unipolar link current pulses with controllable duration zero and nonzero current segments. A blocking switch deactivates oscillation of the resonant tank in initiating each link current pulse, which is subsequently clamped by a buffer inductor. Each pulse is terminated by natural commutation through resonant oscillation. The pulses are substantially squarewave and have a high duty cycle leading to minimal peak current values. Minimal switching losses are incurred by switching at substantially zero voltage and zero current. Other features include blackout ride-through capability, bi-directional four quadrant operation, unbalanced load operation, voltage step-up without transformers, and input and output switch assemblies constructed from unidirectional switches, such as low-cost and robust single thyristors.

Abstract: A fluxless soldering sample pretreating system includes a sample chamber having an opening therein and a sample holder. A sample chamber extension extends outwardly from the opening to define a passageway from the sample chamber extension, through the opening, and into the sample chamber. A fluorine-containing gas is supplied into the sample chamber extension. Am energy source such as a microwave oven surrounds the sample chamber extension. The microwave oven produces microwave energy in the sample chamber extension to form a plasma therein and dissociate the fluorine-containing gas into atomic fluorine. A perforated aluminum plate extends transversely across the passageway and blocks the plasma from traversing the passageway from the sample chamber extension into the sample chamber, while allowing the atomic fluorine to traverse the passageway from the sample chamber extension into the sample holder. A second chamber extension, gas supply and microwave oven may be added to improve uniformity for large samples.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treatment of waste products that contain organic materials, such as plastic and like organic materials, and frequently also containing metal values, including precious metals, by thermal processing, without risk of generating dioxins or similar toxic compounds and in a manner which also enables any metal values to be recovered. The method is characterized by charging the waste products to an agitated smelt in a manner which will prevent the products being heated to any significant degree prior to being surrounded by the agitated smelt. The waste products are mixed vigorously in the smelt in the presence of reducible constituents or components at a temperature of at least about 1250  DEG C, wherein plastic and other organic material is decomposed thermally to reduction agents for the reduction of said reducible constituents or components, and therewith converted essentially fully to complete combustion products, such as CO2 and H2. Any metal values present are taken out as metal-rich dustand/or metal-rich molten phase, and the metal values can be recovered from the metal-rich products in a suitable known manner. The invention also relates to a method of destroying, or rendering harmless, waste products that contain organic substances, such as plastic or like organic compounds, without the risk of forming dioxins or like toxic compounds.
