Title: Surgical stapling instrument with staple height adjusting mechanism
Inventor: ROTHFUSS ROBERT G
IPC: A61B17/115
Filed: 1985-10-16
Abstract: (57) A surgical stapling instrument suitable for performing a gastrointestinal anastomosis is provided. The stapling instrument incorporates a staple height adjusting mechanism which enables the gap between its jaw members to be adjusted to select different staple heights to be produced when the staples are formed. Preferably, the stapling instrument includes a pair of elongate jaw members, one of which supports a staple cartridge adapted to receive at least two laterally spaced longitudinal rows of staples, and the other provided with an anvil adapted to form the staples. A pusher bar and knife assembly slidable longitudinally relative to the jaw members sequentially drives the staples from the cartridge and forms the staples against the anvil to produce a pair of laterally spaced rows in the tissue. The pusher bar and knife assembly includes a knife blade for cutting the tissue along a line between the longitudinal staple rows. A set of jaw support members is carried by the knife blade which travel along the elongate jaw members as the pusher bar and knife assembly is advanced to provide local support to the jaw members. The angular orientation of the knife blade relative to the jaw members is adjustable by the staple height adjusting mechanism to vary the vertical spacing between the jaw support members as the gap between the jaw members is varied.

Title: Read start pulse generator for time base corrector
Inventor: YOSINAKA TADAAKI
IPC: H04N9/87
Filed: 1986-02-14
Abstract: In a read start pulse generator (7B) of a read signal generator (7) for a time base corrector used with a video tape recorder or other image processing system, when a synchronising signal or a burst signal is adjusted in phase relative to a reference video signal or when hue is adjusted after a horizontal synchronising colour subcarrier phase has been adjusted, the already-adjusted subcarrier phase should be readjusted according to the adjusted phase. To overcome this problem, the read start pulse generator (7B) comprises circuit elements (24) for automatically adjusting the phase of a read start pulse signal (RZERO) by cancelling phase offset caused when the synchronising signal, burst signal and the hue are adjusted in phase.

Title: Novel plasmid for production of CRM protein and diphtheria toxin
Inventor: METCALF BENJAMIN J
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1994-03-04
Abstract: The invention pertains to a novel method and plasmid system for producing abundant quantities of CRM197 protein, diphtheria toxin or other CRM proteins related to diphtheria toxin, as well as to microorganisms transformed with the novel plasmid. A particularly preferred DNA plasmid, designated pPX 3511, that combines the gene for CRM197 from the nontoxigenic betaphage and the plasmid pNG2-22 is described. The novel plasmid system is capable of transforming strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae into strains which are capable of expressing high levels of the CRM197 protein without the use of multiple lysogens. The invention provides in elegant means for increasing protein production without having to manipulate the expression vector, such as by increasing the promoter strength, or removing the promoter from iron regulation.

Title: Operating system for telecommunications
Inventor: SNELGROVE WILLIAM MARTIN
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to telecommunications, and more specifically to a method and system of providing telecommunication services that is flexible and efficient. Existing Public Switched Telephone Network systems suffer from a number of problems including system complexity, access being proprietary and services being implemented on fixed hardware. As a result, new services are complex and costly to develop, so telcos only provide services that appeal very broadly. The invention provides an open and flexible system by describing communications in terms of graph packets which contain pointers to blocks of software code, rather than containing large blocks of executable code. In the preferred embodiment, these graphs identify software filters which are dedicated to particular tasks, and are based on a standard API. This allows third parties to create new filters and make them available, allowing new services to be provided quickly and easily.

Filed: 1996-06-17
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE96/00788 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Jun. 17, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/00596 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 3, 1997An oven having two sources of heat is controlled to perform high quality results when the user simply chooses the class of food on a front panel. A first source of heat is active during a first period until a second source of heat takes over during a second period until the temperature rises to a specific temperature threshold. The time required to reach this specific temperature threshold is measured. The measured time is dependent on the size and type of the food to such a degree that the remaining baking time can be determined with high precision along with the required baking temperature during the remaining baking time. The oven then preforms baking for the remaining baking time using either or both of the first and second sources of heat and informs the user about the remaining baking time.

Title: Process for the simultaneous recovery of wheat starch and wheat gluten
Inventor: ROLF SCHIRNER
IPC: C08B30/04
Filed: 1986-10-29
Abstract: The process for the separate extraction of all the principal constituents of flour from dry milled wheat products entails an aqueous suspension of milled products with a water/flour ratio of 1.0 - 3.0 being prepared and further reduced in size by a wet mechanical method, and the milled product suspension being adjusted to a temperature of 20 - 50 DEG C and subjected to a resting period of 5 - 120 min. The suspension of milled wheat product is subjected to a one-stage three-phase hydraulic classification in a centrifugal field to separate out the sediment containing the coarse grain starch, and the continuously produced centrifuge supernatant is fractionated by controlled phase separation in the centrifuge into a light phase containing the flour extractives and into a heavy phase containing flour gluten. The heavy liquid fraction with the partially agglomerated flour gluten is taken off above the centrifuge bowl and the light liquid fraction containing flour extractives is taken off at the upper edge of the centrifugal separating chamber. The processing of the intermediate products to the final products of coarse and fine grain starch, wet gluten and flour extract entails the material streams being passed countercurrently and thus the fresh water requirement being reduced to less than 2 m<3> per t of milled product, with an overall yield of up to 98 %.
