Patent EP-1449554-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SAULENAS WILLIAM G
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: A passively shieldable needle assembly set (12) is provided for use
with a tube holder. The assembly includes a needle cannula (20), a hub
(22) mounted to the needle cannula and a tip guard (26) slidably movable
along the needle cannula. The tip guard can be slid into a distal
position where the tip (32) of the needle cannula is safely shielded. A
collapsible guard drive (28) is mounted to the hub (22) and includes a
pair of collapsible leaves (86) extending from the hub to the tip guard
(26). The leaves have a length that enable the tip guard to move into
shielding engagement around the tip of the needle cannula, while
preventing complete removal of the tip guard from the needle cannula.
The leaves are resiliently deformable and can be collapsed onto
themselves and onto the hub. The leaves can be retained in their
collapsed condition by a packaging cover (18) and subsequently by the
grip of a medical practitioner. A mere release of the grip on the
collapsed leaves enables the leaves to resiliently return toward an
undeflected condition and propels the tip guard distally into shielding
engagement around the tip of the needle cannula.

Abstract: A preprocessor system (10) reduces random noise
in video pixels by providing a memory (19) arranged to
store first pixels processed during a first time period.
A motion detector (300) responds to differences between
the first pixels and second pixels processed during a
second time period after the first time period to
generate corrected motion signals. A first filter (100)
generates first filtered values in response to the
differences and the corrected motion signals. An impulse
detector (244) generates control signals in response to
detection of impulses, and an impulse reducer (250)
generates second filtered pixel values in response to the
first filtered values and the control signals.

Abstract: The network is configured as ring, star or bus network with
central nodes without storage capabilities, where at least
some of the central nodes have at least one associated edge
node, whereby an edge node is connected with one central
node. Said edge nodes receive data packets and aggregate this
data packets to a burst or packet with an associated header.
The header is sent previous to the burst from the edge node
to a central node. There the header is evaluated, a path is
reserved for the associated burst and the header is sent to
the next central node, where the same is repeated in order to
establish a path through the central nodes of the network to
a destination of the burst. After evaluation of the header in
the first central node the requested reservation is compared
to previous reservations of other headers and in case of a
reservation conflict an answer is sent back to the edge node.
Said answer is evaluated, the sending of the burst is abandoned
and the burst is stored in the edge node.

Abstract: In a torque sensor (10) having a magnetic metal film with magnetic anisotropy
attached to a torque transmission shaft, and an exciting coil (16) and a pair of detector
coils (20a, 20b) each installed near the magnetic metal film, outputs of the detector
coils and a reference signal are respectively added in waveform adders (30a, 30b)
when the exciting coil (16) is energized by an exciting power source (26). Then, the
outputs of the adders and the reference signal are respectively compared in phase in
phase comparators (36a, 36b), and the outputs of the comparators are respectively
converted in voltage values. A differential amplifier (40) amplifies a difference
between the voltage values, and a torque detector (42) detects direction and magnitude
of the torque applied to the torque transmission shaft from polarity and magnitude of
the difference voltage value, thereby enabling to accurately detect applied torque even
when installed near noise-producing electrical equipment such as an electric power
steering system.

Abstract: A control system for the transmitting power of a multiband antenna of especially a
mobile station. The antenna (300) has at least two radiating elements (B31,B32)
corresponding to different operating bands. A separate part is arranged for each
element in the antenna switch of a radio device using TDD technology. When one
radiating element (B31) is connected to a transmitter (TX1), the other radiating
element (B32) is connected to a control circuit (DET,PCU) for a radio-frequency
power amplifier (PA1) of the transmitter. By an electromagnetic coupling (CP)
between the radiating elements is then produced to the control circuit a signal (M1)
indicating the transmitting power, and the transmitting power can be kept as desired
by controlling the power amplifier. The electromagnetic coupling between the
elements is arranged suitable in view of the power control. The arrangement
achieves space savings on the circuit board of the radio device as the relatively large
directional couplers can be left out and the attenuation in the transmission path from
the power amplifiers to the antenna will be lower.The two radiating elements
can realize a dual PIFA antenna structure.
