Abstract: Use of resorbable physiological films derived from copolymers to prevent postoperative adhesion after surgery is new. The films are prepared from racemic lactide and  epsilon -caprolactone,  delta -valerolactone,  gamma -decalactone or  beta -hydroxybutyric acid. Reaction is via the monomers with a molar ratio of lactide:lactone/acid of 90-70:30-10. A metal carboxylate is used as initiator with a ratio of reactants:initiator of 300:1 to more than 1000:1. The reaction is carried out at 130-150 degrees C over 24-96 hours. Preferably the film is made from lactide and glycolide and  epsilon -caprolactone or  delta -valerolactone. Additives may include antibiotics and a softener (preferably glycerin).

Abstract: A system for determining location of an object within a defined area includes at least three object-locating receivers situated at predetermined locations about the area. A transmitter affixed to the object emits a signal which is received by the receivers such that at least two time difference of arrival (TDOA) values are determined between the receivers in each of at least two respective pairs of the receivers. Each of the TDOA values defines a respective curve such that the defined curves intersect. The intersection of the curves identifies the location of the object within the defined area. A time reference for determining each of the TDOA values may be obtained from global positioning system (GPS) receivers co-located with each of the object-locating receivers.

Abstract: An optical fiber (8) has a core structure (5,6)
and a first coating layer (7) covering the core
structure. The optical fiber, after being twisted, is
covered at its outer side with a second coating layer
(9). The second coating layer (9) is higher in Young's
modulus than the first coating layer (7). As a result,
the twisting of the optical fiber (8) is stably
retained by the second coating layer (9). Further, an
outer force coming from the second coating layer (9) is
absorbed by the soft first coating layer (7), so that no
compressive force acts on the core (5) and cladding (6)
in the optical fiber.

Abstract: Received data representing voice information is subjected to Viterbi decoding to correct an error in the received data. Thereby, the received data is decoded into second data. A path metric is calculated to determine the second data during the Viterbi decoding. A decision is made as to whether or not at least one error is present in the second data by referring to a cyclic redundancy check code in the second data. The second data is discarded when it is decided that at least one error is present in the second data. A decision is made as to whether or not the calculated path metric exceeds a threshold value. The second data is discarded when it is decided that the path metric exceeds the threshold value. The second data is converted into sound when it is decided that at least one error is not present in the second data and that the path metric does not exceed the threshold value.

Abstract: A piezoelectric scanner (1) comprises four piezoelectric elements (4a to 4d) bonded in
base member (2) and attached via respective couplings (6a to 6d) to a member (7) to be
scanned. Each piezoelectric element (6a to 6d) comprises two layers of piezoelectric
material arranged in opposite sense such that when a voltage is applied across the
material it is caused to bend. The four elements (4a to 4d) are connected such that an
applied voltage either causes all the elements to bend inwards or to cause all the
elements to bend outwards. The couplings (6a and 6d) are mounted lower on the
member (7) than coupling (6b) and (6c) such that applying a voltage to the elements (6a
to 6d) cause the member (7) to rotate. The centre of gravity of the member (7) lies on
the axis of rotation and therefore the scanner is less susceptible to external vibration than
previous designs. The invention also provides a method by which such a scanner can
be commercially manufactured.

an advance direction. During normal printing, the ink
jet cartridge assembly (10) is scanned across the print
medium (12) and prints on the print medium using the

scanned across the print medium (12) in a scan
immediately prior to the printer pause and prints on the
print medium (12) using only the cyan ink and the yellow
ink. Immediately after the printer pause, the ink jet
cartridge assembly (lo) is scanned across the print
medium (12) without advancing the print medium in the
advance direction and prints on the print medium (12)
using only the magenta ink.

Abstract: The process flow in the fabrication of MOSFETs having a
LDD (11,13) is altered by using a combination of arsenic and
phosphorus (7) to tailor the lateral profile to meet both
series resistance and channel hot carrier requirements. In
this process flow, the relatively higher dose arsenic controls
the series resistance and the lighter phosphorus dose sets the
lateral junction profile. Therefore, a profile intermediate
the arsenic only and the phosphorus only can be achieved. In
forming a LDD (11, 13) in embodiments of the present
invention, the arsenic implant dose is relatively high. The
lateral extent of the LDD (11,13) is varied to meet the hot
carrier lifetime by varying the lighter phosphorus implant
dose. This procedure is achieved using standard process
technology.
