Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'enlever de manière uniforme une ou plusieurs couche(s) recouvrant une surface, à l'aide d'un laser pulsé, dont chaque impulsion laser éclaire, à l'aide d'un système de formation de faisceau, une zone de section transversale donnée, la surface étant balayée ligne par ligne par les impulsions laser, de manière à ce que chaque unité de surface de la surface, vue dans le sens des lignes, reçoive le même nombre d'impulsions laser. Afin que les zones marginales de chaque ligne éclairée reçoivent le même nombre d'impulsions laser par unité de surface que la zone centrale de chacune des lignes, il est prévu, de part et d'autre la zone centrale de la section, une zone marginale dont la surface s'étend en se réduisant vers l'extérieur. Les deux zones marginales opposées se réunissent pour former une surface commune dont la largeur correspond à celle de la zone centrale de la section, mesurée dans le sens du balayage effectué par les impulsions laser.

Abstract: In field buses used in particular in process engineering, it is normal to supply power to the bus nodes via two bus lines which are also used for data transmission, in which case the bus nodes are designed as so-called "constant current sinks", which means that the bus interface of a bus node draws a constant, non-variable basic current from the bus lines and modulates that current for data transmission. In order to reduce power losses of bus nodes when operating in a field bus and thereby increase the number of measuring transducers connected to the bus, it is proposed that these bus nodes should be designed as so-called "constant power sinks" in which the power consumption would remain constant irrespective of the input voltage. The invention can be used in field bus systems.

Abstract: The wireless system at a base station for receiving uplink signals transmitted from a number of remote terminals using a common conventional uplink channel has a receiver system with a number of antenna elements and receivers for producing measurements of combinations of the uplink signals. A receive spatial processing device determines and stores receive spatial signatures for the remote terminals using the measurements. A spatial demultiplexer uses the receive spatial signatures and the measurement to produce separated uplink signals. The uplink signals from the remote terminals can be received independently while simultaneously communicating on the common uplink channel.

Granted: 2003-12-10
Abstract: A method of treating a subject in cardiac arrest comprises the steps of blocking the descending aorta of the subject and perfusing the aortic arch of the subject with a protective solution in an amount effective to deliver oxygen to the heart of the subject. The perfusing step is performed so that the protective solution infuses the aorta in a pulsatile rhythm. An apparatus for carrying out this method includes a storage unit for storing a protective solution, delivery apparatus for delivering the protective solution to the aorta of the subject, wherein the delivery apparatus is fluidly connected with said storage means, and a pulsing device connected with the delivery means. The pulsing device induces the protective solution to be delivered to the aorta in a pulsatile rhythm.

Abstract: An arrangement for the optical remote control of an apparatus such as a data terminal, an online bill payment terminal, movement surveillance equipment or the like, employing the palm of a hand or a finger of an operator as a control includes a light transmitter part in which there are several sources of light. The light from each of the sources of light of the light transmitter travel through a first collector member to a presumed keyboard in which a keyboard layout is arranged. Each presumed key in the keyboard layout is connected to at least one source of light in the transmitter part. The image of the source of light is visible at the location of the relevant presumed key. Also provided is a light receiver part and a second collector member through which the image of the source of light at the key in question, travels to the receiver part. A processor controls the operation of the light transmitter part. Each source of light is timed to light up in turn as part of a group and/or separately so that when the finger or palm of the hand is at the position of a presumed key, the light coming from the source of light is reflected from it through the second collector member to the receiver part. The processor recognizes the moment when the various sources of light are on, and on the basis of data relating to the moment of reception of the light arriving at the receiver, it recognizes which key is in operation.

Abstract: An inflatable medical device for delivering fluid internally to a patient comprising a catheter having a fluid delivery lumen communicating between a fluid entry port at its proximal end and a fluid delivery port on an external wall of the catheter and a hollow, inflatable balloon having at least one fluid transmitting conduit disposed between inner and outer balloon walls. The fluid transmitting conduit receives fluid from the fluid delivery port of the catheter and is connected to at least one outlet on the outer balloon wall. The inner balloon wall extends axially beyond the proximal terminus of the outer balloon wall to form an inner sleeve for attaching the inner balloon wall to the catheter. An outer collar is attached at its distal end to the outer balloon wall and at its proximal end to the catheter at a point proximal to the fluid delivery port. The outer collar forms a conduit between the fluid delivery port and the proximal opening of the fluid transmitting conduit of the balloon. The diameter of the outer collar decreases gradually, or in at least one discrete step, from an enlarged area to a proximal catheter attachment area.
