Patent EP-0887082-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SWEENEY NIALL
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1998-06-22
Abstract: A shielded needle assembly has an elongate needle that defines an axis having a pointed
distal end, a proximal end and a passageway therethrough. The assembly also has a hub that is
mountable on a fluid handling device with an axial opening therethrough to receive the needle
with the distal end projecting outwardly therefrom so that the fluid handing device is in fluid
communication with the passageway. The hub has an annular weakened area therein that
defines a needle portion and a fluid handling device attachment portion. The assembly further
includes an elongate shield with a proximal end, a distal end and a sidewall that defines a
cavity. The shield has a slot extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The shield is
attached to the needle attachment portion of the hub with a hinge that provides for pivotal
movement of the shield between an open position where the pointed distal end of the needle is
exposed for use and a closed position where at least the pointed distal end of the needle is
disposed within the cavity through the slot and is substantially protected from inadvertent
exposure. In the assembly of the invention, the needle portion and the fluid handling device
attachment portion of the hub are frangibly detachable from each other at the annular
weakened area by a force applied to the assembly transverse to the axis and distal to the
annular weakened area.

Abstract: A system for copy protecting content information has an arrangement for receiving and controlling the playback of encoded video. The video content, e.g. MPEG compressed digital video, is watermarked and includes a control signal indicating the status (e.g. playback only, one generation of copy allowed, etc.). In the receiver device a check is performed to allow playback in dependence of the watermark. The watermark is extracted in a separate decoder device, such as an external MPEG decoder. The receiver device starts the playback via the external decoder, and the separate decoder communicates retrieved watermark information via a link to the playback device. The playback device checks the watermark information against further supplemental information, such as a physical mark on the record carrier or the control signal. Said communication may be protected by cryptographic methods, such as a digital signature.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention display hierarchical information
efficiently. Hierarchical information is displayed in a vertical browser
comprising a path list and a choices list. A choices list displays selection
choices at a given hierarchical level. When a selection is made in the choices
list, the selection is displayed in the path list. The choices list is updated to
reflect the next hierarchical level. The path list displays a plurality of choices
that represent the traversal path through the hierarchical information.
Backwards traversal is possible by selecting an entry in the path list. The path
list is updated to remove the selected entry and any successive entry. The
hierarchical level that contains the path list entry is displayed in the choices
list. The path and choices list can be independently sized and are
automatically maintained to remove irrelevant information.

Abstract: When a CD (24) is inserted in an insertion/ejection slot
(33) of a CD playback apparatus (21), an insertion/ejection
roller (35) in an insertion/ejection mechanism (34) draws the
CD (24) into a housing (22). A shutter mechanism (37) closes
a portion of the insertion/ejection slot (33). A control
circuit (29) drives the insertion/ejection roller (35) in the
reverse direction to cause the CD (24) to abut against the
shutter mechanism (37), the CD (24) thus being set in a reference
position. The CD (24) thus set in the reference position can
be mounted on a turn table (38) of a PU unit (25). A stocker
(23) installed inside the apparatus is capable of accommodating
a plurality of CDs (24), and the turn table (38) can be moved
to transport the CD (24) to an accommodating position selected
by a lifting mechanism (26) and separated by a separating
mechanism (28) . Since the space necessary to handle recording
media such as CDs (24) can be reduced, the entire construction
can be reduced in size.

IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: This invention uses a computer program to mine preexisting network configuration
data located in a variety of preexisting source network configuration databases. The
computer program either creates a new network configuration database from parts of
existing network configuration databases or modifies an existing network configuration
database. The computer program replaces the current system' s reliance upon manual data
entry by data engineers to configure the operation of a new telecommunication switch or
replace the software in a telecommunication switch that was damaged or requires a new
network configuration data configuration. This invention provides accurate and timely
customer information, significantly decreases the time interval for engineering a new
network configuration database, decreases the research and data entry time, decreases the
interval for lab planning and project management, improves network configuration database
integrity, provides a cleaner network configuration database, reuses existing data eliminating
double data entry, reuses some existing software code, and uses preexisting office data
administration tools and provides a platform for future growth and expandability. By
accomplishing these tasks, the telecommunication switch manufacturer or
telecommunication switch operator saves time, money and decreases time-to-market
product and service schedules.

Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: The invention provides an image forming method and
apparatus capable of forming an image with a desired
shape at a correct position on a recording medium having
expansion and contraction properties. Boundary lines
formed on the recording medium being conveyed are
detected by a sensor. Distortion of the recording medium
is evaluated on the basis of the detected boundary lines.
Image data is corrected in accordance with the result of
the evaluation and an image is formed in accordance with
the corrected image data. In the above process, image
data within the respective areas surrounded by the
boundary lines is deformed such that the image is printed
at a correct location even when the recording medium has
distortion due to expansion/contraction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor physical
quantity sensor according to the present invention achieves the high
sensing accuracy and reliability and prevents a sticking phenomenon.
Specifically, a semiconductor physical quantity sensor is cleaned by a
displacement liquid and is dried while a SOI substrate is revolving. The
number of revolutions is determined so that a suction force (Fr), which
acts on a silicon substrate by a surface tension of the displacement
liquid, a sensor spring force FK and a centrifugal force (FS) generated by
the acceleration in the revolution can satisfy the following condition:
(FK+FS)>Fr. In order to prevent the sticking phenomenon after the stop of
the spray, the semiconductor physical quantity sensor is dried by spraying
an inert gas such as nitrogen including minus ions so that the revolving
SOI substrate can eliminate static electricity generated by friction of
the air flow.
