Abstract: The artificial foot comprises an elastic foot-insert (20) which is C-shaped in a longitudinal section with a rear-facing opening (22) absorbing the prosthesis load with its top C-shaped limb (24). The opening transmits the load via its lower C-shaped limb to a plate spring (10) joined to it. The plate spring extends forward parallel to the sole part (5) over the foot-insert, with its front end (12) protruding into the toe part (3). The foot-insert is formed from a tubular cylindrical segment (21) having a horizontal cylinder axis, and an axial slot for forming the rear opening. The underside (10a) of the plate spring is convex between the foot-insert and the free end of the plate spring. The top side (10b) of the plate spring forms a saddle (14) in the rear end part, for supporting part of the bottom arm of the foot-insert. The top C-shaped limb has a foot adapter (30) detachably joined to the leg prosthesis.

Abstract: In the field of agricultural machinery, there is a need to control the position of implements relative to eg. the ground with a high degree of accuracy. Previous arrangements for achieving this have suffered the disadvantage of providing false readings in the harsh conditions commonly encountered by agricultural equipment. 
     The disclosure relates to an apparatus for controlling the position of a header (10) relative to the ground surface (17), the apparatus including one or more pivotable shoes (20) arranged to contact the ground and to move in dependence on changes in the ground contour. 
     A further member (24) secured to such a pivotable shoe (20) includes a reflecting surface (26) remote from the point of contact of the shoe (20) with the ground surface (17). An emitter/receiver (29) is spaced from the reflecting surface (26) and connected to a control circuit whereby the position of the header (10) relative to the ground (17) may be measured by virtue of the position of the reflecting surface (26). The position of the header (10) relative to the ground surface (17) is then adjustable in dependence on the detected measurements, by means of various actuators (35,44,38,40) associated with the apparatus.

Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument (10) is provided for cauterization and/or welding of tissue of varying impedances, thicknesses and vascularity especially in the performance of endoscopic procedures. The instrument compresses the tissue between an electrode associated with a first pole of a bipolar energy source located on one interfacing surface off a first element, and a second interfacing surface of a second element. The first and second elements are used to engage and compress tissue between the first and second interfacing surfaces. A second electrode associated with a second pole is located one of the two interfacing surfaces. The first electrode is either recessed into the first tissue contacting surface and/or offset from the second electrode on the same or opposing surfaces. A preferred application of the invention is in a cutting instrument wherein a hemostatic line is formed along a cut line using RF energy.

Title: Cylinder head for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: NAGATA MASAHISA
IPC: F01L3/06
Filed: 1996-01-18
Abstract: A cylinder head (1) includes a first intake port (3) for generating a swirl flow (6) in a cylinder and a second intake port (2) for causing a part of intake air to flow into the cylinder in a direction (8) opposite to the swirl flow (6). The second intake port (2) has a wall at a downstream end thereof, extending below a corresponding intake valve (4). A portion of the wall (11) adjacent to an exhaust port (10) has a lower or downstream end (lla) which is preferably substantially perpendicular to a lower surface (5) of the cylinder head (1). Accordingly, the intake air flow passing through the second intake port (2) is directed downwardly. Therefore, the swirl flow (6) generated in the cylinder (15) is less likely to be weakened by opposing flows.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé de codage de valeurs de couleurs de pixels, destiné à une trame d'image vidéo numérique dans laquelle une valeur de couleur est assignée à chaque couleur différente dans l'image. Une couleur prédominante est identifiée pour la trame d'image et, dans un premier mode de réalisation, chaque pixel possédant une couleur autre que la couleur prédominante est codé séparément en fonction de sa valeur (0010 à 1111) de couleur respective, avec des plages de trois pixels successifs, ou davantage, de la couleur prédominante en cours de codage RLC. Un autre code (0000 0011 cccc), semblable dans sa configuration à celui indiquant une plage, est fourni pour permettre un changement de la couleur prédominante spécifiée lors du déroulement d'une trame. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, des plages de toutes les couleurs sont codées RLC, mais avec un schéma de codage plus court pour des plages de la couleur prédominante, ou bien, dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, pour une petite gamme de couleurs prédominantes. L'une des principales utilisations de ces schémas de codage est d'améliorer l'efficacité du codage de certaines classes de composants d'images.

Abstract: A system for controlling the focus of a beam on a medium (5) is disclosed. A first sensor (CA) with a wide sensing range and limited stability measures the light reflected by the medium (5). A second, high-accuracy sensor (CB) with a narrow sensing range and high stability also measures the light reflected by the medium (5). Control circuits are provided for controlling a focus control device (B). A control logic enables the operation of the control device (B) to be controlled by the first focus error signal when the signal exceeds a predetermined value (a) and until the second focus error signal exceeds another predetermined value, whereafter the operation of the control device (B) is controlled by said second focus error signal. The system is useful for optical data reading and optical disk reading and recording.

Abstract: Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Sensorelement (2), welches im Normalbetrieb lediglich eine Information darüber abgibt, ob sich zwei oder mehr feldempfindliche Komponenten in Umfangsbereichen gleicher oder unterschiedlicher elektromagnetischer Feldstärke eines Impulsgebers (1) befinden. Um auch bei solchen Sensorelementen die Möglichkeit zu schaffen, sofort beim Einschalten einer Versorgungsspannung festzustellen, ob eine gleiche elektromagnetische Feldstärke an beiden Komponenten einem Bereich niedrigerer (L) oder hoher (H) Feldstärke entspricht, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, bei Einschalten der Versorgungsspannung zunächst das Sensorelement derart zu betreiben, daß für eine bestimmte Zeit die absolute Feldstärke gemessen wird. Bei einer Differenzschaltung zweier feldempfindlicher Komponenten (3, 4) erfolgt dies beispielsweise dadurch, daß eine der Komponenten zeitweise abgeschaltet wird, daß beide Komponenten parallel geschaltet werden oder daß beide Komponenten in Reihe geschaltet werden.
