Abstract: A unitary locking cap mechanism, which is used with pedicle screws and other orthopaedic implant devices which couple bones to rods, includes rim and post portions which are rotationally freely coupled to one another to permit independent motion relative to one another. The rim element has a cylindrical body with an open end and a closed end; the closed end alternatively having a concentric hole defined by an inwardly directed flange. In one embodiment, the flange includes a series of slots, dividing into a plurality of wedge-shaped pie sections. In another embodiment, the sidewall of the cylindrical portion of the rim includes an annular recess. The post is a cylindrical shaft having surface elements at one end which provide for mutual engagement with the rim. These surface elements may be deflecting arms which seat into the annular recess of the rim, or an annular recess in the shaft into which the wedge-shaped pie sections of the flange portion may be resiliently snapped into. In an alternative embodiment, the shaft and the rim are coupled together through the concentric hole by a retaining ring which is placed around the shaft, in an annular recess therein, after the insertion of the shaft through the hole. Each embodiment are alternatively designed such that the post or the inner surface of the rim portions are threaded so that it can mate with a threading on the inner or outer upwardly extending, U-shaped channel forming, members of the heads of the pedicle screws.

Abstract: A computer graphics system generates pixel values for pixels in an image of objects in a scene, using strictly-deterministic low-discrepancy sequences, illustratively Halton sequences, as sample points for evaluating integrals which are used to simulate a number of computer graphic techniques, including: (1) soft shadows generated for scenes illuminated by a light source having a finite extent, such as a disk, as opposed to a point light source; (2) simulation of depth of field; (3) motion blur; (4) jittering. The computer graphics system uses the low-discrepancy sequence: (1) in connection with soft shadows, to generate sample points over the extent of the light source illuminating the scene; (2) in connection with simulation of depth of field, to generate sample points over the area of the lens between the scene and the image; (3) in connection with motion blur, to generate sample points over a time interval over which motion blur is to be simulated for moving objects in the scene; and (4) in connection with jittering, to generate jittered sample points over an image or a plurality of contiguous pixels. Unlike the random numbers used in connection with the Monte Carlo technique, the low discrepancy sequences ensure that the sample points are evenly distributed over a respective region or time interval, thereby reducing error in the image which can result from clumping of such sample points which can occur in the Monte Carlo technique. In particular, the invention facilitates the generation of images of improved quality when using the same number of sample points at the same computational cost as in the Monte Carlo technique.

Abstract: An image transmitting remote object examination device includes (a) an image-recording system at the location of the object to be examined, (b) an observation station located at a distance from the image-recording system for the evaluation of the image and for the remote control of the image-recording system, and (c) an intervening, narrow band telecommunications link, by way of which the images taken are transferred to the observation station using image data compression and/or reduction together with the remote control commands to the image system. A system status-determining unit continuously records the overall system status relevant to image transmission, and dependent upon the overall system status, variably controls the image data compression and/or reduction and/or the number of individual telecommunication channels used in a transmission packet. The image quality required for a particular situation, together with the optimal on-line image impression, is thereby obtained.

Abstract: A transformant prepared by constructing a plasmid wherein a human-inducible nitric oxide synthase (hiNOS) structural gene has been substituted by a luciferase structural gene which is a reporter gene while sustaining the functions of the 5'-promoter region and the 3'-untranslated region of the hiNOS gene and then stably trasferring the plasmid into an established human cell line. This transformant expresses selectively the reporter gene in the presence of an inducer. By determining the expression dose of the reporter gene owing to this transformant, it is possible to conveniently and sensitively screen compounds seemingly being useful in treating inflammation or sepsis through the inhibition of the expression of hiNOS. By inducing the expression thereof, further, it is possible to conveniently and sensitively screen compounds seemingly being useful as antitumor agents or antiviral agents or in treating re-angiostenosis inhibition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for data exchange via a communications channel between a central unit, which processes, stores and provides data, and a data terminal device. Initially, a permanently unchanged application-independent query structure (general query structure) is stored both in the central unit and in the data terminal device, as are a small number of permanently unchanged application-independent response formats. For each application, the specific query structure is defined on the basis of the general query structure and is stored in the central unit in the form of a parameter set. As needed, the data terminal device requests from the center unit, via the communications channel, a specific query structure not yet stored in the data terminal device and receives and stores the applicable parameter set. To implement a query functionality, the applicable specific query structure is created in the data terminal device from the general query structure on the basis of the applicable parameter set and, after being at least partially filled out with values by the user, is transmitted to the central unit. The data terminal device makes responses transmitted from the central unit in response to queries available to the user based on one of the stored response formats, which is designated in the particular response.

Abstract: A splitter (15, 25) separates telephony traffic (POTS) from digital subscriber line (ADSL) traffic occupying a higher frequency band. The splitter comprises a low-pass filter (LPF) for passing the telephony traffic, the low-pass filter being operable to vary its filtering response between a first low-pass response for use during telephony speech traffic, and a second, more restrictive, low-pass response for use during at least part of the time that telephony signalling traffic is present. During speech traffic a filter is used which provides a good impedance match with a telephony terminal or linecard so as to minimise detrimental effects on sidetone and echo performance which may impair a user's speech quality. The filter response can be varied according to a detected property of the telephony traffic, such as amplitude or rate of change of amplitude of the traffic. <IMAGE>
