Title: Method and device for measuring the content of bone mineral in the skeleton
Inventor: KULLENBERG RAGNAR
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 1996-01-10
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and arrangement for measuring the bone mineral content in the skeleton in a body part, which is irradiated from one side with X-radiation which is detected on the opposite side of the body part. The X-radiation has two energy levels, the detected radiation is analyzed and the thickness of the body part is determined. The analysis takes account of the thickness of the body part and in order to calibrate the measuring process, a reference object of known composition is measured. The arrangement comprises: means (3) for generating X-radiation at two energy levels which means is disposed on one side (2a) of a casing (2) whose shape is adapted to that of the body part and which means is directed towards the latter. A radiation-detector matrix (4) disposed on the opposite side (2b) of the casing detects the X-radiation received. The distance-measuring devices (50 are coupled with an image and signal-processing unit (7) and are disposed inside the casing (2) on opposite sides of said body part. The image and signal-processing unit (7) is arranged such that the bone mineral content is determined by a combination of the signals recorded in the detector matrix (4) and the signals received from the distance-measuring devices (5) with respect to the measurement on the body part and the measurement on the reference object of known composition.

Abstract: A device or a process for analysis of acoustic reflectance of components of an ear involves directing, into the ear canal, acoustic waves covering a range of frequencies including resonance frequencies of ear components such as the tympanic membrane. Measurements are made without pressurizing the ear canal and contact between the device and the ear does not need to be air-tight. Accordingly, the patient experiences essentially no discomfort from use of the device. The device detects and combines the incident and reflected waves to produce what is called an acoustic reflectance curve. The shape of a region of the acoustic reflectance curve is electronically measured in order to obtain an indicator of ear condition which is substantially independent of a line of sight between a sound source and the tympanic membrane. This indicator is based on a mesurement of the resonance characteristic, or freedom of motion, of the tympanic membrane or other ear component being analyzed. One such measurement is the rate of change of the acoustic reflectance with respect to frequency. Since resonance typically causes a null to appear in the acoustic reflectance curve, this measurement of the rate of change is particularly informative if measured around the null. The rate of change measured around the null may be presented as an angle measurement, a gradient or slope measurement, a width measurement, or other form of measurement of the shape of the null. In one embodiment, the steepest slopes on either side of a null are used to define an angle, herein called a spectral gradient. Diagnosis of an ear pathology, such as abnormal pressure or presence of fluid in the middle ear or such as conductive hearing loss, may be based on this measure alone. Because of the rate of change of an acoustic reflectance measurement is relatively constant for a given ear, regardless of the quality of the line of sight to the tympanic membrane, the effect, if any, of user training on such measurements is significantly reduced. Accordingly, the process and device of the invention are useful in many kinds of diagnostic situations with respect to ear pathology, but particularly in those involving screening of the ears of young children for common pathologies such as otitis media, even by untrained personnel.

Filed: 1996-06-26
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de resynchronisation en cas de signe ambigu, sur une suite pseudo-aléatoire de longueur maximale à polynôme caractéristique d'ordre k avec un vecteur A de coefficients tel que A = [1 a1 a2 ... ak-1 1] chacun des coefficients  a1 to ak-1 valant 1 pour un emplacement de piquage intermédiaire, et 0 dans les autres cas. Le procédé consiste à fournir une suite de symboles reçus et à lui faire subir un décalage au moyen d'un registre à décalage de niveau K = k + 1 fonctionnant pour P piquages intermédiaires en des positions déterminées par un vecteur Ain de coefficients tel que Ain = [1 a1 (a1Oa2) (a2Oa3) ... (ak-2Oak-1) ak-1 1] étant l'inverse de a1 et ak-1 respectivement, et O représentant une somme modulo 2. En l'occurence, le registre à décalage fonctionne pour P piquages intermédiaires, P étant un entier positif inférieur à K. Le procédé consiste ensuite à ajouter de façon récursive un signal de corrélation respectivement pour chaque entrée correspondant respectivement à la séquence de symboles reçus et à chaque piquage intermédiaire. Chaque signal de corrélation est produit par corrélation des signaux P+1 de l'entrée considérée, avec les piquages intermédiaires et avec les sorties autres que le signal auquel on ajoute son signal respectif de corrélation. L'invention convient particulièrement au pilotage de synchronisation de terminaux AMDC.

Abstract: A machine (1) is serving the purpose of comminution for example domestic garbage, refrigerators, tires, furniture, carpets, mattresses, stubs, demolition timber and similar materials. The machine has a funnel (2) for accommodating the waste, a cutting table (4) placed at the bottom of the funnel with at least one set of fixed, parallel lower knives (9a, b) which mutually are separated by openings (10a, b) through the table, at least one rotatable axle (5a, b) of a drive unit (7) which axle is placed above the cutting table into a direction, which extends perpendicular to the lower knives, and a number of disc-shaped upper knives (8a, b) fixed to the axle, each of which knives is provided with a number of teeth (13a, b) and partly extends down into each their opening of the table. The lower knives are running into a direction, which intersects the axis (18) of the axle or an area around this. Thereby it is obtained that the teeth of the upper knives will have angle of action of about 90°, and the stress of forces, which they exercise, will have no substantial components into the radial direction of the upper knives and along the lower knives. The advantage of this construction is that the machine is able to securely, in a fast way and efficiently carry out a process of comminution by optimum utilizing the supplied energy, and with the given dimensions the machine has furthermore a larger capacity than known hitherto.

Title: Dry cleaning of semi-conductor processing chambers
Inventor: YE YAN
IPC: H01L21/302
Filed: 1994-06-10
Abstract: In accordance with the disclosure, the plasma dry cleaning rate of the walls of semiconductor process chamber (102) can be improved by placing a non-gaseous dry cleaning enhancement material in the position which was occupied by the workpiece (104) during semiconductor processing. The non-gaseous dry cleaning enhancement materials is either capable of generating dry cleaning reactive species and/or of reducing the consumption of the dry cleaning reactive species generated from the plasma gas feed (108) to the process chamber. 
     When process chamber non-volatile contaminant deposits are removed from plasma process chamber surfaces during plasma dry cleaning by placing a non-gaseous source of reactive-species-generating material within the plasma process chamber, the non-gaseous source of reactive-species-generating material need not be located upon or adjacent the workpiece support plateform: however, this location provides excellent cleaning results in typical process chamber designs.
