Title: A broadband conference system
Inventor: WEISS MANFRED
IPC: H04M1/27
Filed: 1992-04-21
Granted: 1994-06-30
Abstract: A broadband conference system for having a video conference between a number of subscribers (S1, ..., S3) includes a switching unit (SU) to which those subscribers are coupled and a conference control unit (CCU) also coupled to that switching unit. To establish a conference, a subscriber first sets up a connection to the conference control unit and then transmits thereto the address of a second subscriber involved in the conference. The conference control unit then establishes a connection, over the switching unit, to the second subscriber. In a similar way other subscribers are added to the conference which is controlled and held over the thus established connections. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for performing surgery inside the human retina using fluidic internal limiting membrane (ILM) separation (Films)
Inventor: MORRIS ROBERT E
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1999-06-21
Granted: 2002-05-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing surgery inside the human retina using fluidic internal limiting membrane separation (FILMS) to remove the internal limiting retinal layer from the neural retinal layer at the macula. The method comprises inserting a hollow microcannula between the retinal internal limiting membrane and the neural retinal layer at or near the macula and injecting a sterile fluid, such as sodium hyaluronate, through said microcannula and thereby raising the macular internal limiting membrane retinal layer away from the neural retina such that it can then be removed by conventional means, while simultaneously smoothing the neural retina by localized pressure tamponad. The apparatus comprises a hollow microcannula having a proximal end a distal end and a distal tip. The distal end is shaped to conform tangentially to the surface of the retina. The distal tip is sharply beveled and adapted to discharge a fluid substance and to easily insert under the internal limiting membrane retinal layer and achieve occlusion of the lumen upon minimal insertion, and is sufficiently microscopic as to not substantially injure the neural retina when introduced under the ILM.

Title: Drawing machine
Inventor: ENAMI TOSHIAKI
IPC: B21D25/02
Filed: 1989-12-22
Granted: 1992-06-18
Abstract: A drawing machine for drawing a workpiece (41) comprises first and second drawing dies (42, 43), first and second push rods (45, 46, 47, 48) and first and second junction rods (53, 54). When the first push rods (45, 46) are downwardly moved, the first junction rod (53) is pressed and moved by the first push rod (45) to press the first drawing die (42). Consequently, the first drawing die (42) forms a first-stage drawn part in the workpiece (41). When the second push rods (47, 48) are downwardly moved, the second junction rod (54) is pressed and moved by the second push rod (48), to press the second drawing die (43). Consequently, the second drawing die (43) forms a second-stage drawn part in the workpiece (42). Thus, a plurality of stages of drawn parts can be formed by the same machine. A large number of holes (51, 52) may be provided in a junction die (55) for receiving junction rods (53), to insert the junction rods (53) in only prescribed ones of the holes. When the second drawing die (43) is changed in configuration or size, the positions of the junction rods (53) are also changed in response. Thus, jigs and tools can be efficiently exchanged in a short time in order to upper die with different patterns of drawing.
