Title: Tdm digital communication system
Inventor: GUELDENPFENNIG KLAUS
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1980-05-07
Granted: 1983-07-28
Abstract: A time division digital communication system which does not require a common control unit for accomplishing interconnections, having a plurality of modular switching units. The switching units are identical and each unit has its own port circuits to which subscriber lines and/or trunks may be connected, service circuits, a time slot interchange and a microprocessor control and timing unit. The switching units are in direct communication via separate send highways, one for the port circuits and the other for the service circuits of each switching unit. The microprocessors of each switching unit are also in direct communication by way of control lines. The inter-switching unit send highways are connected to separate channels or groups of memory locations in the time slot interchanges of each of the switching units. By selective listening to receive highways connected to the output of the time slot interchanges, any port or service circuit, whether in its own switching unit or any of the other switching units, can be interconnected. These interconnections are made under microprocessor control on the basis of events such as off-hook conditions and dialed digits from the ports, rather than by central or call processing. The switching of calls is non-blocking, as any port can be connected to any one or more of the other ports or service circuits at all times.

Granted: 1987-11-12
Abstract: A temple end piece for a temple of a spectacle frame comprises an essentially straight first segment extending in the longitudinal direction of the temple, a connecting segment extending downward from the first segment, and a fitting segment intended for resting against the head and/or behind the ear. The elongated fitting segment is borne by the connecting segment and supported by it, whereby this support is accomplished at the longitudinal middle or on the lower end or in the region between the longitudinal middle and the lower end of the fitting segment, so that at least the upper half of the fitting segment protrudes upward to the first segment and can be deflected elastically in the direction toward the connecting segment. The upper end of the fitting segment is connected to the first segment or the connecting segment with the aid of a flexible, elongated element 20, which element will be sufficiently pliable in order to permit of the deflection movement in sufficient measure, but simultaneously to form a bridge between the upper end of the fitting segment and the first segment and/or connecting segment, so that the upper end can formed no hook-like tip and at the same time no hair or similar objects between the first segment and the fitting segment can reach into the space bordered by the fitting segment and connecting segment.

Title: Device for separably coupling profiled members
IPC: F16B7/04
Filed: 1990-08-01
Granted: 1993-07-29
Abstract: A connector which can couple a first profiled member having an internal compartment behind a slotted wall with a tubular second profiled member has an open-ended housing which is installed in the second profiled member and a one-piece profiled plate-like coupling member in the housing. The coupling member has two integral prongs with mirror symmetrical claws at their free ends, and followers adjacent the claws. The housing has integral cams which can stagger the claws by way of the followers in response to longitudinal displacement of the coupling member in the housing as a result of rotation of an eccentric which normally extends into a window of but is depressible into the second profiled member to permit insertion or removal of the connector. The claws can be introduced through the slot in the wall of the first profiled member to be thereupon staggered by the followers in cooperation with the cams in response to rotation of the eccentric in a direction to move the claws toward the housing. The coupling member has an integral spring which biases the eccentric into the window of the second profiled member.

Title: Energy delivery system for vessel sealing
Inventor: BUYSSE STEVEN PAUL
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 1996-07-11
Granted: 2000-08-17
Abstract: Electrosurgical energy is used in combination with a surgical tool to seal vessels and vascular tissue of a patient. One of the important advances of the present system is that it can effectively seal vessels of a patient without leaving any foreign material in the body of the patient. The present system is also capable of sealing vessels as large as ten millimeters in diameter. Another advantage of the present system is that the surgeon can visually inspect the integrity of the seal. The invention works with a combination of pressure and controlled application of electrosurgical energy to achieve the desired result. A surgical tool is used to grasp and apply an appropriate amount of closure force to the tissue of the patient. The tool is capable of conducting electrosurgical energy to the tissue concurrently with the application of the closure force. A method for sealing vessels and vascular tissue of a patient includes the steps of applying pressure to the vessels and other tissues of the patient; applying a first level of electrosurgical power to the vessels and other tissue sufficient to melt proteins in the tissue; applying a second level of electrosurgical power to the vessels and other tissue sufficient to cause desiccation without charring; reducing the electrosurgical power substantially to zero for a length of time sufficient to allow the vessels and other tissues to cool into a new compressed form; and relieving the pressure on the tissue.
