Abstract: A household appliance door, which is mounted in a manner that enables it to pivot about a joint axis, has a door handle that can pivot about a door handle axis running parallel to the joint axis. At least one controlling mechanism is associated with the door handle. When the door executes a pivotal movement in a first pivoting direction, the controlling mechanism pivots the door handle in a second pivoting direction opposite the first pivoting direction, as such, reliable actuation of the door handle is achieved. The door handle is pivotally mounted in a bearing housing and the bearing housing extends in an axial direction along the entire door.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'enregistrement d'hologramme (100) comprenant un modulateur spatial de lumière (15) et un moyen de commande (18). Le modulateur spatial de lumière (15) est disposé sur un chemin optique d'un faisceau signal (L1) et divisé en une pluralité de blocs cellulaires (151) disposés sous forme de matrice. Chacun des blocs cellulaires (151) est lui-même divisé en une pluralité de cellules (152) disposées sous forme de matrice. Ce modulateur spatial de lumière (15) peut effectuer une modulation sur la base d'une cellule. Le moyen de commande (18) commande le modulateur spatial de lumière de sorte qu'il module le faisceau signal en fonction d'une pluralité d'informations d'enregistrement destinées à être enregistrées sur un support d'enregistrement d'hologramme (200). Une pluralité d'unités de modulation (153) existant dans un même bloc cellulaire ne se présentent pas sous la forme de regroupements cellulaires identiques. Dans la mesure où une pluralité de blocs cellulaires possédant un pas relativement important comparé au pas de pixel sont mis sous/hors tension simultanément ou successivement, l'intervalle entre le faisceau de dimension nulle et le faisceau de dimension élevée peut être réduit.

Abstract: There is disclosed method and apparatus for structured encoding of a previously encoded source ( 100, 105, 140 ) of data, where the structure ( 200, 210, 220, 230 ) is not defined in the received data. The invention finds particular application in block-based compression of digitised image or audio data derived from analogue sources, for example using MPEG encoding. The encoding introduces discontinuities in pixel colour and/or brightness across the block boundaries ( 200, 210, 220, 230 ), the introduction of which can lead to a marked deterioration in quality, and inefficient use of bandwidth. Encoding data using the same block and pixel structure used previously renders the discontinuities effectively invisible, substantially eliminating these problems. To do so, the received data is processed ( 300 ) to detect artefacts contained within the previously encoded and decoded data, information as to the structure ( 200, 210, 220, 230 ) imposed on the data by the previous encoding process ( 100, 105, 140 ) is extracted by analysis of the artefacts, and the received data is encoded by reference to the extracted structure information.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for laparoscopic and endoscopic clinical procedures simultaneously severs and staples tissue clamped in an end effector comprising an elongate channel, which holds a staple cartridge, and a pivotally attached anvil. An E-beam firing bar engages the channel and selectively engages the anvil during distal firing movements, wherein the tissue is severed and stapled driven upward from the staple cartridge to form against the anvil. In particular, a wedge integral to the staple cartridge is driven distally by a middle pin of the firing bar to effect stapling. A lockout mechanism of the staple cartridge responds to the presence of the wedge sled in its unfired position to allow the firing bar to fire. Otherwise, the lockout mechanism prevents firing when the staple cartridge is spent. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: Templates(14,15,16,17) are positioned in a heated mold(4) and plastic powder, granules or fluid are cast on to form a base layer(18). Tool movement disperses the plastic around the templates and the mold is then cooled. Selected templates(14,17) are removed, the mold reheated and a second plastic(20) added and dispersed to fill spaces left by removal of templates. Templates(14-17) may be held on the mold(4) by a magnetic force(19), which is applied from the back side of the mold until templates are removed. Vacuum or mechanical fasteners may alternatively be used to hold templates in position. Templates may include magnetizable particles embedded in an elastic, high temperature resistant, plastic matrix. Particles may be included in an a core layer between facing layers with no particles. When plastic powder is used to form a molded skin this is sintered in the mold to form a layer. Use of fluid polymer produces a coherent flowable or viscous layer. An independent claim is included for the process equipment which includes a mold with templates(14,15,16,17) at least one of which is made partly or wholly of a magnetizable material.
