Abstract: A switching power supply device that can reduce switching loss to obtain
high efficiency. Additionally, the number of components of control circuits and the
cost of switching elements can be reduced, with a transformer made compact and
lightweight. In this switching power supply device, one end of a series circuit
comprising a primary winding (T1) of the transformer (T), an inductor (L), and a
capacitor © is connected to a junction of a first switching circuit (S1) and a second
switching circuit (S2). The other end of the series circuit is connected to an input
power source (E). A secondary winding (T2) of the transformer (T) is connected to a
rectifying and smoothing circuit including a rectifying element (Ds). In addition, in
order to perform a self-excited oscillation, there are arranged first and second control
circuits (11, 12). The first control circuit (11) controls a time elapsing until the first
switching circuit (S1) turns on after the generation of a voltage in a first driving
winding (T3) of the transformer (T) and a time elapsing until the first switching
circuit (S1) turns off. Similarly, the second control circuit (12) controls a time
elapsing from the generation of a voltage in a second driving winding (T4) of the
transformer (T) to the turn-on of the second switching circuit (S2) and a time
elapsing until the second switching circuit turns off.

Title: Phasenkorrekturverfahren für die MR-Echtzeitbildgebung
Inventor: SCHAEFFTER TOBIAS
IPC: G01R33/565
Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein MR-Bildgebungsverfahren, insbesondere für die Echtzeitbildgebung, bei dem die Phasenfehler, mit denen die MR-Signale u.a. aufgrund von Wirbelströmen versehen sind, kontinuierlich anhand der zur Bilderzeugung gewonnenen MR-Datensätze überwacht werden. Hierzu werden aufeinanderfolgend mit unterschiedlichen Auslesegradienten aufgenommene MR-Signale zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt, um anhand der Phasendifferenzen Veränderungen im Wirbelstromverhalten zu registrieren. Bei Bedarf werden Kalibrierungsmessungen initiiert, um Phasenkorrekturprofile zu ermitteln, mit denen die Phasenfehler der MR-Datensätze kompensiert werden. Zur Bildgebung können gemäß der Erfindung Echoplanar-Sequenzen (EPI) verwendet werden, bei denen einzelne nacheinander aufgenommene Echosignale zur Überwachung der Phasenfehler miteinander korreliert werden. Diese Echosignale werden hierzu bei gleicher Phasenkodierung mit jeweils entgegengesetzten Auslesegradienten gemessen. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a protector and an
indwelling needle assembly which are capable of
accommodating a needle tip of a used needle body by a
simple operation to ensure a high level of safety during
needle disposal or the like. 
     Provided is a protector displaceable between a first
attitude in which the protector can move relatively along a
longitudinal direction of a needle body having a sharp
needle tip at its tip end and a second attitude in which
the relative movement of the protector along the
longitudinal direction of the needle body is prohibited in
a state where the protector covers the needle tip of the
needle body, the protector having a plate-like brake
portion having formed therein a hole through which the
needle body can penetrate, characterized in that, in the
second attitude, an inclination angle of the brake portion
relative to the needle body becomes smaller than the
inclination angle in the first attitude, so that a
frictional force is generated or increased between an inner
surface of the hole of the brake portion and an outer
peripheral surface of the needle body to thereby prohibit
the relative movement of the protector along the 
longitudinal direction of the needle body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a connector assembly (10) including a connector (100) for use in electrically connecting a surgical instrument (300) to a power source, such as a generator (400). The connector (100) generally includes an outer shell (110) with a plurality of first (220) and second (230) electrical conductors disposed within the outer shell (110) for providing the electrical connection between the surgical instrument (300) and a cable (20) leading to the power source. In one aspect of the present invention, the connector (100) includes an isolation barrier (180) disposed within the outer shell (110) so as to separate each of the first electrical conductors (220) from each of the second electrical conductors (230). In another aspect, the connector includes a keying feature (200) in which the outer surface of the outer shell is modified so as to ensure that the connector may only be plugged into the generator a single way. This reduces the risk that the electrical conductors may be bent due to improper orientation during the insertion action. In yet another aspect of the present invention, a member (70) disposed at the end of an instrument cable sealingly mates with one end of the connector to protect the electrical connection between the cable and the conductor. The member has a resilient arm (60) which is attached to a soak cap (76) permitting the opposite end of the connector to be sealed in select conditions.
