Abstract: The invention provides for an apparatus and method for weighing an article (114) using a scale (22), by performing a first weighing operation, slightly moving the scale (22), on which the object is weighed, relative to a housing (24,28), performing a second weighing operation, comparing the results, and providing an indication to the scale operator if the two results differ by a predetermined amount. The operator is then given an indication of whether the article (114) to be weighed is completely located on the scale or whether it also overlays the housing (24,28) and is therefore not weighed properly. The movement of the scale (22) between weighings may be in a horizontal or vertical direction, or in a combination of the two.

Abstract: An endarterectomy catheter for removing obstructions from an artery comprises a cylindrical housing (210), the housing having an opening (220) across which a primary shear (230) is movable. The primary shear is razor sharp and cylindrical and movable by means of a cable (104) and trigger backward and forward within the housing to excise obstructions that protrude into the opening. A guide wire (102) positions the catheter in an artery. 
The edge (222) of the housing at the opening may be sharp to grip the obstruction and to assist in the cutting action of the primary shear. The shear is hollow and collects debris from the excised obstruction. Openings (248) in the housing allow blood to pass through the body. 
A method of removing obstructions from an artery includes locating a housing in an artery with an obstruction protruding into an opening in the housing, moving a razor sharp cylindrical shear across the opening to excise the obstruction, encapsulating the excised obstruction in the housing, and removing the housing from the artery.

Abstract: A movable strap-engaging member (20) is provided for being connected at a first pivot axis to a vibrator arm (30) for accommodating pivot movement of the vibrator arm (30) about the pivot axis while the movable strap-engaging member (20) is pressing a first length (U) of flexible thermoplastic strap against a second length (L) such strap in an elongate strap-receiving path. The movable strap-engaging member (20) is reciprocated generally transversely of the path to effect a friction-fusion weld of the strap lengths (U, L) . The movable strap-engaging member (20) has a configuration in which first and second centers of mass (M1, M2) are spaced apart on a line (75) that passes through the pivot axis and that is oriented generally perpendicular to the path. The product of the square of the distance (r1) along the line (75) between the pivot axis and the first center of mass (M1) is substantially equal to the product of the square of the distance (r2) along the line (75) between the pivot axis and the second center of mass (M2).

Abstract: A rare-earth bonded magnet is improved in its heat resistance by coating rare-earth magnetic powder with heat resisting addition polymerized thermosetting resin consisting mainly of triazine resin because oxidation of the rare-earth magnetic powder is prevented or retarded by triazine rings formed in the coating film of the thermosetting resin consisting mainly of the triazine resin. The heat resistance of the bonded magnet is further improved by curing the thermosetting resin in a vacuum and by adding organometallic salt in the thermosetting resin as a metallic catalyser since the coating film is formed more firmly.

Abstract: There is provided an illuminating display device for use with a mosaic panel, in which necessary display devices, measuring instruments, and the like are mounted to a cross-wise-shaped metallic grid, to form a panel surface, and on which light-emitting diodes are arranged at a high density to afford a high-luminance display surface. The illuminating display device prevents the display surface and the interior of the display device from increasing in temperature to high due to heat generated by a large number of light-emitting diodes. The illuminating display device comprises a base frame (4) mountable to and removable from the grid, a circuit board (5) and a reflector (6) to be mounted on the base frame. The base frame (4) comprises a leg (4b), which is in face-to-face contact with a partitioning wall (2a) of the grid and which is engaged with the grid by an engaging claw (4c), and a base seat (4a)on which a circuit board and further means are mounted, wherein the base seat (4a) and the leg (4b) are made of metal and integrally provided. By this arrangement, heat generated by illumination of the light-emitting diodes is conducted via the base frame to the metallic grid, thus effectively radiated and dissipated.
