Title: Method and device for producing droplets from a coherent layer of even thickness of liquid or melt on a rotating disk
Inventor: ANDERSSON RALF GORAN
IPC: B05B3/10
Filed: 2000-11-29
Abstract: Method for continuously producing droplets by producing a coherent layer of a liquid/melt of even thickness by means of centrifugal action along the entire periphery of a rotating disk (13, 113), liquid/melt being supplied to the disk around its entire axis of rotation from means (12, 112) and leaving the disk as individual droplets which are then collected. The means (12, 112) distributing the liquid/melt onto the disk (13, 113) has according to the invention essentially the same speed and direction of rotation as the disk, and the liquid/melt undergoes under the influence of centrifugal action circumferentially a spreading and change in velocity across the disk (13, 113) in contact with the same. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A reproducing time until audio data is transmitted to a speaker (300) connected in a wireless transmission system is converted into a sound travel distance. A computing section (213F) performs delay processing so that the audio data transmitted for a shorter distance becomes equal to the one for a longer distance based on a parameter information on a delay time of a data area stored in a memory (213E) when comparing the sum of the sound travel distance and another locating distance to the speaker (300) from a reference point and a locating distance of the speaker in a wired transmission system. Image data is also delayed corresponding to a maximum delay time of the audio data so as to reproduce the image data on a display (400).

Abstract: An anastomosis device (16) formed from a Shape Memory Alloy (SME) wire that is annealed into
a tight coil (e.g., flat coil, helical coil, cylindrical coil) is subsequently substantially
straightened (e.g., straight, longitudinally stretched spring-like shape) for being constrained
within an elongate member of an anastomosis introducer instrument (10). After positioning and
holding two tissue walls of adjacent lumens into apposition with a distally presented grasper (12)
of the instrument (10), a piercing tip of the anastomosis device (16) is dispensed and inserted through
the tissue walls before being allowed to relax to its tight coil shape, thereby forming the
anastomosis attachment. The anastomosis device (16) is released from the anastomosis introducer
instrument (10), such as by fully dispensing its proximal end. Thereby, efficient single lumen
anastomosis of gastrointestinal, bilatory, or other vessels may be achieved with a minimum of
laparoscopic punctures, or perhaps performed fully as an endoscopic procedure.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for enabling additional capacity or
features on telecommunication nodes without requiring replacement of
hardware. Service providers purchase hardware which is fully capable of
providing a full suite of features and providing a large bandwidth capacity.
However, depending on the amount of payment by the service provider, not
all of the features or the bandwidth capacity is enabled. If the service provider
wishes to increase the number of features or the capacity of a node, the
additional features or capacity are enabled using software after payment to
the vendor. This allows service providers to enter the market at an initially
relatively low expense. Additional features and capacity can be purchased
and enabled using software as demand grows, without having to purchase
replacement hardware.
