Abstract: A surgical instrument (22) for irrigating a frontal sinus target site of a patient including a handle, an introducer (42), an irrigation channel (60), a nozzle (44), and an actuator assembly (46). The introducer extends from the handle and defines a proximal segment and a distal segment. At least a portion of the proximal segment (110) is rigid and linear and at least a portion ofthe distal segment (112) is rigid and relatively curved. The nozzle is fluidly connected to the irrigation channel, and is rotatably maintained at a distal end (114) of the introducer. The actuator assembly includes an actuator (140) maintained by the handle and connected to the nozzle. Movement of the actuator causes the nozzle to rotate relative to the introducer. The introducer can be sized and shaped in accordance with a size and shape of the nasal passageway/frontal sinus of a human adult.

Abstract: A brake-equipped swivel caster comprises a movable pin allowed to move up and down and normally retained in its uppermost position by an elastic member, and a bifurcated brake member including two downward-extending brake pieces, arranged with its top adjacent to the lower end of the movable pin and rotatably suspended by a horizontal shaft fitted to a tired-wheel support leg at a position off the axis of the movable pin. The brake member is subjected to the force of an elastic member tending to cause the brake member to turn in a direction away from the opposite lateral rim edges of a tired wheel, and is thereby retained in a non-braking condition. When the movable pin pushed down a specified distance pushes on the top of the brake member, the brake member turns so that the two brake pieces are pressed against the opposite lateral rim edges.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting reference signal and data using cyclic shifts of a base sequence are described. The base sequence may have good correlation properties, and different cyclic shifts of the base sequence may be orthogonal to one another.  A user equipment (UE) may send at least one reference signal on assigned resources using at least one cyclic shift of the base se-quence. The UE may send data on the assigned resources using at least one other cyclic shift of the base sequence. For each refer-ence signal, the UE may modulate a cyclic shift of the base sequence with a known modulation symbol. For data, the UE may modulate each cyclic shift of the base sequence used for data with a data modulation symbol. Multiple UEs may share the same re-sources. Each UE may be assigned a different set of cyclic shifts among all cyclic shifts available for the resources.

IPC: G10L15/14
Filed: 2009-09-10
Abstract: A transformation can be derived which would represent that processing required to convert a male speech model to a female speech model. That transformation is subjected to a predetermined modification, and the modified transformation is applied to a female speech model to produce a synthetic children's speech model. The male and female models can be expressed in terms of a vector representing key values defining each speech model and the derived transformation can be in the form of a matrix that would transform the vector of the male model to the vector of the female model. The modification to the derived matrix comprises applying an exponential p which has a value greater than zero and less than 1.

IPC: B62D55/04
Filed: 2011-04-26
Abstract: A traction assembly for replacing a wheel on a vehicle is disclosed. The traction assembly uses a traction band disposed about a sprocket wheel, idler wheels and road wheels for propulsion. The idler wheels and road wheels are pivotally mounted to a support frame which is coupled to the sprocket wheel via a support arm. The support arm is pivotally yet non-drivingly connected to the sprocket wheel and is pivotally connected to the support frame. The support arm is able to pivot forwardly and rearwardly, albeit in a limited fashion, with respect to the support frame. Such forward and rearward pivotal movements allow the weight of the vehicle to be transferred on the trailing portion, i.e.  either the front or the rear portion, of the support frame depending on the direction of movement of the vehicle, thereby generally preventing the leading portion from diving or digging into the ground.

Abstract: In order to improve the encoding efficiency while suppressing an increase in the size or memory band of a frame memory and having extendability in the encoding/decoding processing of a moving picture, a bit length extension converter (102) converts a target picture in which the pixel value is expressed as a bit length N so that each pixel value is expressed as a bit length M, a compressor (110) encodes the converted picture, and an expander (111) restores the encoded picture. Then, a bit length reduction converter (113) converts the picture into a reproduction picture, in which the pixel value is expressed as a bit length L of a smaller value than the bit length M, and this reproduction picture is stored in a frame memory (114) as a reference picture.
