Title: Ribbon speaker system
Inventor: WALKER GARY ELLIOTT
IPC: H04R7/18
Filed: 1984-02-20
Granted: 1988-10-13
Abstract: A ribbon speaker system comprising a three-element tweeter, midrange and woofer acoustical transducer unit is disclosed. The tweeter transducer consists of a single, elongated, corrugated aluminum ribbon positioned vertically and connected to the top and bottom of a rigid, elongated frame. Electrical connections are provided at the top and bottom to permit current flow along the length of the ribbon. The aluminum ribbon is located between sets of magnets which are designed to provide a shaped magnetic field that provides magnetic centering of the ribbon. Additional electromagnetic containment for the transducer ribbon is provided by electrical current passing through the ribbon which current returns to its source by means of flat ribbon conductors located on the surfaces of the magnet sets. 
<??>The midrange transducer consists of a single elongated corrugated aluminum ribbon positioned vertically and connected to an elongated frame similar to the tweeter transducer. However, unlike the tweeter transducer, the edges of the midrange ribbon are acoustically sealed to the frame by foam strips. In addition, desired dynamic properties of the ribbon are achieved by fabricating the aluminum ribbon with corrugations that extend at variable slant angles relative to the longitudinal axis of the ribbon. 
<??>The woofer acoustical transducer consists of an elongated, trapezoidal-shaped, corrugated aluminum ribbon that is supported on all sides and mounted vertically in a rigid, elongated frame. To provide a single electrical path through the ribbon it is divided by a series of horizontal cuts into a serpentine pattern. The ribbon is located directly in front of a rectangular array of ceramic magnets mounted on a steel backing sheet.

Granted: 1997-08-07
Abstract: This invention is a surgical instrument, and specifically is a device for delivering embolic coils to a selected site within the vasculature of a human body. This instrument uses, and may include, the catheter used to place the embolic coil. In particular, the device is made up of a pusher wire having a distal tip which is configured to engage the proximal end of an embolic coil. The device may also include a cylindrical pusher which coaxially surrounds at least a portion of the pusher wire and cooperates in the disengagement of the coil from the pusher wire and the ejection of the vasoocclusive coil into the selected vascular site. The pusher wire's engagement tip may be of any selected and convenient shape, and may be grooved, if so desired, to enhance the engagement joint strength.

Abstract: Fuel is burned in accordance with a burning method and apparatus in two stages (62,64) and in the presence of first and second oxygen-containing gases, respectively. The second oxygen-containing gas (B) has a higher concentration of oxygen than the first oxygen-containing gas. The fuel stream is burned in a first (62) of the two stages at a first equivalence ratio sufficiently greater than 1.0, so that thermal NOx formation is inhibited, a more heat transfer effective luminous flame is achieved and a combustible mixture comprising unburned and partially oxidised fuel and fuel radicals is are produced for combustion in the second (64) of the two stages. The combustible mixture is burned in the second of the two stages at an equivalence ratio of no greater than about 1.0 so that maximum heat is transferred to the first of the two stages to stabilise combustion therein, and the fuel radicals are sufficiently oxidised by the second oxygen-containing gas to inhibit formation of prompt NOx. <IMAGE>
