Abstract: There is provided by this invention a unique printing system that
utilizes a notch deflector (62) in the ink delivery channel (64) of a continuous ink
jet printing system to control the angle of deflection ink droplets in a print and
non-print direction. The width and depth of the notch in the ink delivery channel
can be varied to produce different angles of deflection of the ink droplets for a
given velocity of ink through the channel. Also, for any predetermined width and
depth of the notch in the ink delivery channel, the deflection angle of the droplets
will vary with varying velocities of ink flow. Control circuits (13) are connected
to the notch deflector to adjust the depth of the deflector for different angles of
deflection.

Abstract: A method for implementing a variable length delay
instruction includes the steps of designating a source register
for holding information and designating a destination register
for retrieving the information. A first number of cycles before
retrieval of the information to the destination register then is
determined, and the information is transferred from the source
register to delaying device, such as queuing device, for the
first number of cycles. Finally, the information is written
from the delaying device to the destination register. An
apparatus for implementing variable length delay instructions
includes an input line [32] for reading information from a
source register; delaying device for receiving said information
read from the source register [33]; a multiplexer [36]; and a
select line [35]. A trigger signal is transmitted to the
multiplexer [36], thereby instructing the multiplexer to write
the information to a destination register [33].

Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: A package of a strip material includes a plurality of stacks (45,46,47,48,49,50) of the strip side by side where each strip forms a stacked fan folded supply of the strip which is spliced to or arranged so that it can be subsequently spliced to a next adjacent strip for supply of a continuous strip from the package. The side by side stacks are simultaneously built up from the bottom by moving a carriage (19) back and forth below a stationary bottom surface of the stacks with the strips supplied side by side through a slot in the carriage (19). The stacks are supported side by side as they are built up by rigid side walls (51,52) of a chute or of a box into which the package is to be packaged for transportation. The tails are supported or arranged so that they are ready for splicing when the package is completed and before transportation. The packaging material can be an evacuated bag or a rigid box.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un système d'interconnexion servant à fournir l'accès à un terminal d'entrée/de sortie ordinaire destiné à des dispositifs à circuits multiples tels que des circuits d'attaque, des récepteurs, et des dispositifs de protection de décharge électrostatique (ESD) installés sur un CI, chacun de ces dispositifs étant pourvu d'une plaquette de contact séparée à l'intérieur du CI. Les plaquettes de contact sont reliées les unes aux autres et au terminal d'entrée/de sortie du CI par le biais de conducteurs inductifs tels que des fils de connexion, des traces de couche de métallisation dans le CI, ou des branches d'un contact en forme de fourche, à ressorts définis lithographiquement, situé sur le CI. L'inductance du conducteur isole la capacité des dispositifs du circuit l'une de l'autre, ce qui améliore les caractéristiques de la réponse de fréquence du système d'interconnexion. La fonction de protection ESD est aussi distribuée parmi de multiples dispositifs ESD interconnectés par des inducteurs en série pour produire un filtre à pôles multiples à chaque terminal du CI. Les inductances des conducteurs et les diverses capacités du système d'interconnexion sont également ajustées, de manière appropriée, pour optimiser les caractéristiques souhaitées de réponse de fréquence du système d'interconnexion.

Patent EP-1280566-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HUBBELL JEFFREY A
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 2000-05-01
Abstract: Proteins are incorporated into protein or polysaccharide matrices for use in tissue repair, regeneration and/or remodeling and/or drug delivery. The proteins can be incorporated so that they are released by degradation of the matrix, by enzymatic action and/or diffusion. As demonstrated by the examples, one method is to bind heparin to the matrix by either covalent or non-covalent methods, to form a heparin-matrix. The heparin then non-covalently binds heparin-binding growth factors to the protein matrix. Alternatively, a fusion protein can be constructed which contains a crosslinking region such as a factor XIIIa substrate and the native protein sequence. Incorporation of degradable linkages between the matrix and the bioactive factors can be particularly useful when long-term drug delivery is desired, for example in the case of nerve regeneration, where it is desirable to vary the rate of drug release spatially as a function of regeneration, e.g. rapidly near the living tissue interface and more slowly farther into the injury zone. Additional benefits include the lower total drug dose within the delivery system, and spatial regulation of release which permits a greater percentage of the drug to be released at the time of greatest cellular activity.
