Title: Dural closing surgical forceps
Inventor: RAY CHARLES DEAN
IPC: A61B17/30
Filed: 1998-05-08
Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a surgical forceps (10) for joining tissue on opposed sides of an incision including a pair of extension members (22, 24), wherein each extension member includes tissue engaging projections at a distal end thereof, and are dimensioned and adapted to engage tissue on respective opposed sides of the incision. A  central member (12) is disposed between the extension member (22, 24), and defines a longitudinal axis. The central member (12) includes a foot glide (14) disposed at a distal end of the central member (12).  The foot glide (14) defines a retaining surface dimensioned to retain tissue within the incision.  The extension members (22, 24) are adapted for movement relative to the central member (12) which causes the tissue engaging projections to engage and draw the tissue on the opposed sides of the incision toward each other in a general approximated relation.  Also disclosed is a method of approximating tissue on opposed sides of an opening.

Abstract: A control and monitoring system for chemical system for chemical treatment of an oilfield well is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a chemical injection monitoring and control system includes the placement of one or more sensors downhole in a producing zone for measuring the chemical properties of the produced fluid as well as for measuring other downhold parameters of interest. These sensors are preferably fiber optic based and provide a high temperature, reliable, and relatively inexpensive indicator of the desired chemical parameter. Surface and/or downhold controllers receive input from the several downhole sensors; and in response thereto, control the injection of chemicals into a wellbore and/or surface treatment system.    By the sensors communicating with both the surface and/or downhole controllers, the effectiveness of the downhole or surface treatment system is monitored in real-time and based on the sensed information, the controllers will initiate some change in the manner, amount, or type of the chemical being injected.

Granted: 2005-06-28
Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating the square of a non-linear encoded signal including a value and a segment number comprises an offset generator, a multiplier and a shifter. The offset generator receives the value of the encoded signal and adds an offset value to it thereby to generate a multiplicand. The multiplicand is squared by the multiplier and the output of the multiplier is conveyed to the shifter. The shifter shifts the output of the multiplier in accordance with the segment number thereby to generate the square of the encoded signal. The offset, multiplying and shifting steps can be performed in a single clock cycle.

Abstract: -Méthode pour générer un maillage hybride d'une formation hétérogène traversée par une ou plusieurs discontinuités géométriques, telle que par exemple une formation souterraine où l'on a foré un ou plusieurs puits, ou une formation fracturée en combinant des maillages structurés et des maillages non structurés, dans le but de réaliser des simulations en accord avec un schéma numérique défini. -Le maillage hybride dans une application à un milieu traversé par des puits par exemple, est réalisé essentiellement en associant un premier maillage structuré pour mailler le milieu hétérogène en respectant ses discontinuités, des deuxièmes maillages structurés de type radial pour mailler une zone autour de chaque conduit ou puits, permettant de mieux respecter des contraintes particulières liées aux écoulements dans cette zone. Pour relier le premier maillage du milieu et les deuxièmes maillages de puits, on interpose entre eux des maillages non structurés de transition et on utilise pour les réaliser la technique des diagrammes de puissance qui est ici particulièrement avantageuse en ce qu'elle permet de relier entre eux de manière conforme des maillages structurés non réguliers. -Applications à des simulateurs pour gisements d'hydrocarbures par exemple.

Abstract: A method for making differential stiffness tubing for medical products, such as catheters. The method produces a tubing that has a stiff section and a flexible section joined by a relatively short transition section in which the materials of the stiff and flexible sections are wedged into each other in a smooth gradual manner to produce an inseparable bond between the materials without abrupt joints. The method also employs a resin modulating system that minimizes the length of the transition section by minimizing the volumes in all flow channels of the coextrusion head used to produce the tubing.

Abstract: With a mobile terminal which is adapted to receive a message transmitted by radio through the telephone network and to store the message in the nonvolatile memory 9 and to show the message on a display 11, when energized, checksum for the message snored in the nonvolatile memory 9 is calculated to store the result in a RAM 8. When a message is thereafter received, checksum for the received message is compared with a plurality of checksums stored in the RAM 8, respectively. The subject to be compared is only stored message having the same checksum as that for the received message, and the messages are compared. When the messages are same, the received message is stored in the nonvolatile memory 9 by overwrite. As a result, check for a message duplicate can be performed within a shorter period of time.

Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) actuator device is disclosed. The MEMS actuator device has an actuated element that is rotatably connected to a support structure via torsional members.      The torsional members provide a restoring force to keep the actuated element planar to the surface of an underlying substrate. The surface of the substrate has electrodes formed thereon. The electrodes are adapted to receive an electrical potential. When an electrical potential is applied to certain of the electrodes, an electrostatic force is generated which causes the actuated element to rotate out of plane. The electrodes have three components. At least a portion of two of the components is within the tilting area of the actuated element. The third is outside the tilting area of the actuated element. The tilting area is defined as the surface area of the actuated element as projected onto the underlying substrate.
