Patent EP-1512607-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YAMADA YASUHISA
IPC: B62D1/16
Filed: 2003-06-10
Abstract: A telescopic shaft for steering of a vehicle is
assembled in a steering shaft and includes a male
shaft and a female shaft that are so fitted as not to
be rotatable but to be slidable. Rolling members are
fitted through an elastic body for pre-load between
at least a pair of axially-extending grooves formed
in an outer peripheral surface of the male shaft and
in an inner peripheral surface of the female shaft.
A slide member is fitted in between at least another
pair of axially-extending grooves formed in the outer
peripheral surface of the male shaft and in the inner
peripheral surface of the female shaft. When a
steering toque is equal to or smaller than a
predetermined level, the elastic body for the pre-load
exhibits a low rigidity characteristic as the
elastic body performs pre-load action. When the
steering torque is equal to or larger than the
predetermined level, the slide member exhibits a high
rigidity characteristic as the slide member engages
with the pair of axially extending grooves.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des membranes polymères très poreuses à sélection de substances que l'on obtient par copolymérisation de monomères fonctionnels et d'un agent de réticulation en présence d'une matrice, d'un plastifiant (composant non soluble) et d'un composant de formation de pores (composant soluble). La dissolution de molécules matrices et porogènes entraîne la formation de petits (< 100 nm) et grands (> 500 nm) pores, y compris de petits pores ayant une forme et une disposition en groupes fonctionnels complémentaires à la molécule matrice. Les membranes possèdent une affinité améliorée à l'égard de la matrice et de ses analogues et font preuve d'une forte flexibilité et porosité. De telles membranes peuvent être utilisées dans la chimie analytique (comme éléments capteurs et pour des matières de dissolution en phase solide) dans des applications en pharmacologie, en médecine, dans l'industrie alimentaire, la purification de l'eau et le nettoyage environnemental.

Abstract: A method and device for field detection are provided, in which one or more gradiometers (31, 32, 33) are positioned in the field and rotated about their axes. Rotation of a single gradiometer allows an output signal of the gradiometer to be analyzed in the Fourier domain, which allows particular field components to be obtained, and also separates the field signal from noise, in the frequency domain. Use of three such rotating gradiometers with non-parallel axes allows a complete magnetic field gradient tensor to be obtained with data redundancy, and can reduce crosstalk.

IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures
incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end
effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the
required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked
transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong
configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids
binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti-backup
mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during
firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing
has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.
