Title: Sigmoidoscope with optical coupling element
Inventor: LUBOWSKI DAVID
IPC: A61B1/31
Filed: 2005-11-11
Abstract: A sigmoidoscope (1) adapted for use in conjunction with a removable obturator to facilitate internal examination of the sigmoid colon of a patient. The sigmoidoscope includes a generally tubular speculum (2) having a sidewall defining a forward insertion end (3), a rearward observation end (4) and an internal lumen (5). The lumen (5) defines a substantially unobstructed viewing path between the observation end and the insertion end. Manually operable insufflation means (10) in fluid communication with the lumen of the speculum are provided for insufflation of the sigmoid colon with an insufflation medium. A coupling element (20) has a proximal end (21) for releasable connection to the observation end (4) of the speculum, a distal end (26) adapted for releasable connection to an optical head (30), and an optically transparent observation window (32) effectively isolating the distal end from the proximal end. The coupling element (20) is adapted upon connection to substantially seal the observation end of the speculum and to prevent direct contact between the optical head (30) and the speculum, without visually obstructing the viewing path.

Patent EP-0398910-A4 (EP)
Title: High resolution phase to sine amplitude conversion
IPC: G06F1/02
Filed: 1988-12-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting phase data into amplitude data. Input phase data is divided into upper and lower phase increments using an input splitter which can also fold in quadrant data. One or more storage elements, such as sine and cosine ROMs, are connected to the input splitter and generate an amplitude, which forms one of a plurality of series terms, and first and second derivatives of the amplitude in response to the upper phase increment. The first derivative and lower phase increment are multiplied together in a digital multiplier to produce a second series term. A third series term comprising a product of the amplitude and lower phase increment squared, is generated by a term generator connected to the splitter and to the storage element. The term generator can comprise elements such as a ROM addressable by the lower phase increment and the amplitude. The first, second and third series terms are subsequently added together by one or more digital adders connected to the multiplier, term generator, storage element and in series with each other to form an output amplitude. An output controller is used for transferring the output amplitude to other apparatus and for incorporating quadrant unfolding elements.

Title: Pre-cast, reinforced concrete retaining wall system
IPC: E02D29/02
Filed: 1990-06-18
Abstract: A lightweight, pre-cast, reinforced, module used to build a structurally engineered retaining wall system. Each module has a panel with a front and rear surface with at least one horizontal reinforcing rod. In the preferred embodiment, a portion of each rod horizontal transverse an integrally attached flange located at each opposite end of the panel. On the outside surface of each flange, there is a recess across which a portion of each reinforcing rod is exposed to be subsequently surrounded by concrete of a poured-in-place reinforced column. A horizontal row of adjacent modules is positioned on a constructed, reinforced footing. The front surface of each module is exposed and each flange is positioned opposite to a flange located on an adjacent module with a column space created between opposite flanges. Alignment elements are attached to the upper surface of each flange and successive horizontal rows of modules are then positioned above until the desired height is achieved. Vertical column forms are attached to the distal and proximal edges of opposite flanges and concrete is poured down into the column space and surrounds all the exposed surfaces. After the concrete has cured, the column forms are removed and the retaining wall structure is completed.

Title: Surgical stapling instrument and method thereof
Inventor: HECK CHRISTOPHER FRANCIS
IPC: A61B17/115
Filed: 1995-05-12
Abstract: A surgical stapling instrument for stapling a tubular tissue structure having at least one distal end to a luminal structure, such as a vascular lumen or another tubular tissue structure. The instrument comprises a rod having a circumference sufficient to pass within the tubular tissue structure, an anvil mounted on the rod, and a generally tubular staple cartridge for containing a plurality of staples. The anvil has an array of staple deforming theron and is of a size sufficient to pass through a sugically formed opening in and to be accommodated within the luminal structure. The inner passage of the staple cartridge is sufficient to axially accommodate the tubular tissue structure between the rod and the inner surface of the staple cartridge, and sufficient to allow the staple cartridge to be moved axially along the rod. The staple delivery end of the staple cartridge is positioned toward the staple deforming of the anvil and has an outer dimension small enough so that the tubular tissue structure can be everted thereover. A clamping mechanism secures the everted portion of the tubular tissue structure and the luminal structure adjacent to the sugically formed opening between the staple cartridge and the anvil. A plurality of staples may then be ejected to pass through the everted portion of the tubular tissue structure and the luminal structure to engage the staple deforming to deform the staples and create a bond between the tubular tissue structure and the luminal structure. The staple cartridge and/or anvil may be configured to provide a non-circular anastomotic connection having more natural, less turbulent blood flow therethrough.
