Patent EP-0607728-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DOUGLAS THOMAS BYRON
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1993-12-03
Abstract: A method and system is provided for visually representing data processing
operations in a data processing system. An action feedback message is provided
for a particular data processing operation. It includes a non-textual
message component. Communication between an operator and the data processing
system is monitored for requests for performance of the particular data
processing operation. For each time a particular data processing operation is
performed by the data processing system, the action feedback message is automatically
displayed on a display of the data processing system, preferably for
a predetermined time interval during the performance of the particular data
processing operation. The action feedback message may be moved along a
predetermined display path on the display of the data processing system during
automatic display. Preferably the action feedback message and/or the predetermined
display path is located in a region of the display of likely operator
focus, as determined from automatic monitoring of operator input to the data
processing system. If it is impossible to determine the region of likely operator
focus, the display of the action feedback message is delayed until such determination
can be made. Additionally, an operation completion message, which
includes a non- textual graphical message component, and which differs from
the action feedback message, is provided for display upon completion of the
particular data processing operation. If operator input activities indicate that
the operator is not likely to be focused on the display screen, the operation
completion messages are queued for display at a later time, preferably a time
during which operator input indicates that the operator is focused on the display
screen of the data processing system.

Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed, during which a quantitatively proportional analysis sample of less than 50 ml can be taken from a milk flow, even in the case of cows having an expected total milk quantity of up to 30 kg and expected maximum milk flows of 12 kg per minute. The method is in this case distinguished in that, by using a cyclically controlled valve, each cycle comprising a valve open time and a valve closed time, for taking only analysis samples kept below a predetermined maximum quantity of 50 ml, from the empirically determined expected value of the total milk quantity to be milked from the cow in question, a cycle time and a valve open time are determined, the cycle time and the valve open time being in each case selected such that they lie within predetermined value ranges, such that the valve open time or the cycle time are controlled as a function of the milk flow, and such that, in order to avoid values of the valve open time or of the cycle time lying outside the value ranges, as a result of change in the milk flow, the valve open time and the cycle time are changed in the same ratios with respect to the values lying within the value ranges. The device, by means of which such a milk sample collection can be carried out, comprises a milk flow meter, a processor unit and a milk-sampling device which essentially comprises an electrically controllable solenoid, using which a closure member can be moved into a first position which blocks a flow orifice for the sampling flow and a second position which uncovers this orifice. <IMAGE>

Title: Ligating clip applier.
Inventor: BURBANK JOHN E
IPC: A61B17/128
Filed: 1994-04-29
Abstract: There is described herein a ligating clip applier which contains: a handle assembly (20); a jaw assembly connected to the handle assembly and containing a shaft and a pair of jaws (12). The shaft defines a longitudinal axis which lies in a central horizontal plane. A magazine (18) of clips (14) is stored on one side of the plane. The jaws are positioned so that they are on the opposite side of the plane. This configuration allows the clip to be loaded into the jaws across the plane, resulting in greater visibility of the clips as they are loaded into the jaws. Further, there is provided a jaw closure mechanism operable in connection with the jaws of this device so that the jaws contact the legs of a ligating clip first distally and then proximally. Thereafter the jaws are parallel at least once during closure, and the closure of the clip legs is, indeed, distal and then proximal. This improved procedure insures that in virtually all instances, the angle included between the clip legs at the crown is 0 DEG . Motion of the clip feeding and jaw closing mechanisms are accomplished without lost motion, via a pair of interengaged mechanisms connected by a single tension spring (40) to one another, and operating separately from the body of the device. This configuration results in a more efficient, easier to operate more reliable clip applying device.

Abstract: This inventions relates to the preparation of a medicament to be applied in the field
of treating infertility disorders with or without assisted reproduction techniques.
In particular the improvement is directed to use an LH-RH Antagonist preferabely
Cetrorelix for preparation of an medicament applied in the method of treating infertility
disorders by inducing follicle growth by administration of exogenous gonadotropins
and in administering the LH-RH Antagonist which contains an amount of LH-RH
Antagonist as low as only to suppress endogenous LH but the FSH secretion is
maintained at a natural level and the individual estrogen development is not affected.
When using the preparation, the follicle development must not be in each case
externally stimulated (e.g. by the addition of gonadotropins) but can be maintened
by endogenous gonadotropins. Advantageously the preparation can be given in the
range of 0.1 to 5 mg of Cetrorelix / day during a multiple dosing posoilogy.

Abstract: A corrected digital response signal is generated from a
corrupted transponder response signal by receiving the response
signal an odd number of times, greater than one, and sampling
each received response signal a predetermined number of times.
Then, the sample values from each transponder response signal
are compared to one another and a majority sample value is
obtained. The majority sample value is the value ordained by
the majority and therefore represents the corrected response
signal value. Alternatively, if time does not permit reception
of more than one transponder response signal, additional
response signals may be generated from the originally received
response signal by shifting the received response by a
predetermined number of samples to the right and by shifting the
received response by a predetermined number of samples to the
left to generate second and third response signals. Then, as
similarly described, the first second and third signals are
compared sample by sample with the majority sample value
yielding the corrected sample value. In this way, a corrected
response signal is generated.

Abstract: A contour encoding apparatus encoding a contour of an
object in a current frame based on a previous frame first
generates a global motion vector between the current and the
previous frames and calculates the number of contours in the
previous frame. Then, the apparatus determines, for each of
current contours, an optimum contour among the previous
contours and detects a local motion vector between the optimum
and the current contours. Once the global and the local
motion vectors are determined, a predicted contour
corresponding to each of the current contours is generated by
shifting the optimum contour by the global and the local
motion vectors. By using the predicted and the current
contours, an error representing a difference therebetween is
extracted. Subsequently, flag signals describing how close
each of the previous contours is to a corresponding current
contour are produced based on the number of the previous
contours and contour encoding information corresponding to
each of the current contours and sequences of the errors and
the local motion vectors for the current frame are outputted
based on the contour encoding information corresponding to
each of the current contours. Finally, the flag signals and
the sequences of the errors and the local motion vectors are
multiplexed and then the multiplexed data is transmitted as an
encoded contour data.

based on the evaluation values. An estimated value
evaluation section (22) receives the evaluation values,
calculates an information amount of the evaluation values or

determines the normalized value as an execution coefficient
for slant correction. The slant correction section (23)
receives the slant angle estimated value and performs slant
correction conversion of the image using a value obtained by
multiplying the slant angle estimated value by the execution
coefficient of the slant correction as an actual slant
correction amount, and then outputs the resulting image to a
character recognition section (3).
