Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor substrate having a rectifying contact diffusion and a non-rectifying contact diffusion. A halo diffusion is adjacent the rectifying contact diffusion and no halo diffusion is adjacent the non-rectifying contact diffusion. The rectifying contact diffusion can be a source/drain diffusion of an FET to improve resistance to punch-through. The non-rectifying contact diffusion may be an FET body contact, a lateral diode contact, or a resistor or capacitor contact. Avoiding a halo for non-rectifying contacts reduces series resistance and improves device characteristics. In another embodiment on a chip having devices with halos adjacent diffusions, no halo diffusion is adjacent a rectifying contact diffusion of a lateral diode, significantly improving ideality of the diode and increasing breakdown voltage.

Abstract: A novel system for performing a heart valve annuloplasty. The system involves the use of a plication band. In one embodiment, the annulus of the valve is reduced by constriction of the plication band itself. More particularly, each plication band enters the tissue at two or more points which are spaced from one other by a distance which is dictated by the geometry of the plication band. Subsequent constriction of the plication band causes these points to move toward each other, thereby constricting the tissue trapped between these points and thus reducing the overall circumference of the valve annulus. In a second embodiment, the annulus of the valve is reduced by linking multiple plication bands to one other, using a linkage construct, and then using a shortening of the length of the linkage construct between each plication band so as to gather the tissue between each plication band, whereby to reduce the overall circumference of the valve annulus.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and method for establishing and maintaining a connection between users' communication devices via a public data network. Communication devices (MSA, MSB) belonging to users of a system are terminals of a telecommunication network, say mobile phones, and, in addition, they are adapted to make a link to a data network (210) via a wireless transfer system. Interfaced with the data network there is at least one server (220) that keeps a register of communication devices. A communication device brought near a data network terminal (DTA, DTB) reports itself to the server using a device-specific identifier. This reporting message also contains network address of said terminal. When a connect request arrives from a communication device via a terminal, the server provides for necessary network connection if the called device specified in the connect request can be reached. The connection may be a speech connection, for example. The server also draws conclusions about relative locations of terminals. On the basis of such "mapping" it makes, if possible, a handover from a terminal on the connection route, if the communication device moves during a connection so that the quality of the link between it and the terminal becomes significantly worse. The telecommunication network, the terminals of which the communication devices are, can also be used in the arrangement of a data network connection and also as a spare route for connections.

Abstract: A disposable cassette for use with a medical infusion pump. An elastomeric membrane is captured between a facing member and a base of the cassette and is displaced into a pumping chamber. The elastomeric membrane includes a generally T-shaped lip, and corresponding grooves are provided on the facing member and base. As the cassette is assembled, an interference fit between the lip and the grooves causes the membrane to stretch taut and to be securely anchored, eliminating a break-in period when the cassette is initially used. "Lobes" of increased thickness provided on the undersurface of a portion of the elastomeric membrane overlying the pumping chamber reduce the residual volume of the pumping chamber, thereby reducing the volume of air retained within the chamber and increasing the accuracy of the cassette. The lobes also sweep air bubbles from the sides of the pumping chamber during operation, further reducing air bubbles retained in the pumping chamber. A distal tube support retains a distal fluid line between air or pressure sensors included on a pump drive mechanism, thus reducing the likelihood of sensing errors. Inlet and outlet valve flaps and corresponding seating surfaces included in the base are configured to provide quieter operation, further reduce the residual volume of the pumping chamber, increase fluid velocity through the outlet valve to sweep air bubbles from the pumping chamber, and protect against a "blown" inlet valve.

Abstract: A valve ( 1 ) for supplying fuel gas to a fuel gas appliance comprises a valve housing ( 2 ) which defines a valve chamber ( 3 ) within which a main carrier member ( 20 ) is axially moveable along a main central axis ( 4 ). The main carrier ( 20 ) carries a primary valving member ( 21 ) and a secondary valving member ( 22 ) for co-operating respectively with a primary valve seat ( 10 ) and a secondary valve seat ( 15 ) for controlling the flow rate of the fuel gas through the valve chamber ( 3 ) from a fluid inlet ( 5 ) to a main fluid outlet ( 6 ). A pilot fluid outlet ( 7 ) supplies fuel gas to a pilot jet. A stepper motor ( 35 ) comprising a rotor ( 70 ) and four independently powered magnetic coils ( 67 ) disposed at 90° intervals around the rotor ( 70 ) urges the main carrier ( 20 ) between a fully open and a closed position in the direction of the arrows B and A, respectively through a screw-drive transmission ( 37 ). An electro-magnetic coil ( 47 ) located in the main carrier ( 20 ) magnetically couples primary and secondary end plates ( 44,45 ) to the main carrier ( 20 ) when energised. Magnetic decoupling of the primary and secondary end plates ( 44,45 ) from the main carrier ( 20 ) permits the main carrier ( 20 ) to be urged into the closed position by the action of primary compression springs ( 53,54 ). The drive transmission ( 37 ) comprises a drive shaft ( 72 ) from the rotor ( 70 ) of the stepper motor ( 35 ) and a drive spindle ( 76 ) which is retained captive in the main carrier ( 20 ) when the primary end plate ( 44 ) is magnetically coupled to the main carrier ( 20 ). External threads ( 80 ) on the drive spindle ( 76 ) co-operate with internal threads ( 78 ) on the drive shaft ( 72 ) for urging the main carrier ( 30 ) between the open and closed positions. The respective threads ( 78,80 ) are arranged so that when ends ( 83,84 ) of the threads ( 80,78 ), respectively are disengaged a datum condition of the stepper motor ( 35 ) is established for synchronizing the stepper motor ( 35 ) with the main carrier ( 20 ) so that the absolute position of the main carrier ( 20 ) can be determined by recording the steps and respective directions of the rotor ( 70 ) from the datum condition.
