Title: Maximum likelihood decoding method and device thereof.
Inventor: SUGAWARA TAKAO FUJITSU LIMITED
IPC: H03M13/39
Filed: 1991-11-19
Abstract: A maximum likelihood decoding method for decoding the input signal subjected to wave interference. The input signals of several bits are sampled which are located before in time the assumed data string stored in an assumed path memory (104). By using this sampled values, the interference quantity with future signals located after in time the assumed data string is estimated. On reference to this interference quantity, the assumed sampled values of the input signals are calculated. By using these assumed sampled values and the sampled values of the input signals, the input signals are subjected to maximum likelihood decoding to generate a plurality of surviving paths and to store them in a path memory (102). Thereafter, the data of the most likelihood surviving path is outputted as a decoded data string.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une seringue (160) pour l'administration de plusieurs produits pharmaceutiques, qui est spécialement conçue pour administrer de l'insuline et qui comprend un corps (162) dans lequel sont logées des première et seconde cartouches (182, 184) remplies du produit pharmaceutique. Les cartouches comportent un diaphragme (190) à une extrémité et un piston (224, 225) à l'autre extrémité, avec le produit pharmaceutique liquide (226, 228) entre eux. Le corps forme également une chambre collectrice (202) à l'intérieur de laquelle est monté coulissant un piston (238). Au moment où on place les cartouches dans le corps, les diaphragmes se percent sous l'action de pointes creuses (188), lesquelles sont reliées à un canal d'écoulement débouchant dans la chambre collectrice. Des clapets de retenue (230) sont utilisés pour empêcher le retour du liquide dans les cartouches. En appuyant sur les pistons des cartouches, on amène les liquides pharmaceutiques à pénétrer dans la chambre collectrice. Lorsque les quantités désirées des deux liquides se trouvent dans la chambre collectrice, on monte un ensemble à aiguille sur l'ensemble à canal d'écoulement de fluide remplaçable, qui relie par communication fluidique l'aiguille à la chambre collectrice.

Title: Method and apparatus for bending glass sheets.
Inventor: WAMPLER DAVID M
IPC: C03B23/03
Filed: 1992-06-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a female press bending ring for use in the press bending of glass sheets outside of a furnace, and more particularly to a female press bending ring which is suitably heated during the bending cycle to regulate the transfer of heat between the peripheral margin of the glass and the female bending ring with which it is in contact. By so doing, near-edge tension and edge stresses are greatly reduced, thereby reducing chill cracking and glass breakage during and after production. The female ring may be covered by a layer of fiberglass cloth or the like to provide a smooth resilient surface for engaging the glass sheet.

Title: Process for producing mirror-finished directional electric sheet.
Inventor: USHIGAMI YOSHIYUKI NIPPON STEE
IPC: C21D1/72
Filed: 1993-02-04
Abstract: A process for producing a mirror-finished directional electric sheet having a high magnetic flux density by conducting the smoothening (mirror finishing) of a steel sheet boundary, which is necessary for achieving ultralow core loss, in a finish annealing furnace, which process comprises the steps of conducting decarburizing annealing, removing the oxide layer present on the surface of a steel sheet by pickling, and coating the resultant surface with an annealing/separating agent comprising a substance which does not react or difficulty reacts with SiO2 to conduct finish annealing. The core loss can be reduced by subdividing magnetic domains and applying tension coating. The finish annealing step can dispense with hydration time, so that it can be completed in a shorter time.

Title: Ion chromatographic method and apparatus using ion reflux
Inventor: SMALL HAMISH
IPC: G01N30/34
Filed: 1997-12-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating an acid or base eluent in an aqueous stream solely from an ion exchange bed for liquid chromatography of anions or cations and for simultaneously suppressing conductivity of the eluent in the ion exchange bed after chromatographic separation. For a system in which a base is generated for the analysis of anions by ion chromatography, the method uses a bed of cation exchange material with first and second bed sections arranged in series. For anion analysis, the method includes: (a) flowing an aqueous feed stream through the first bed section while applying an electrical potential to form an aqueous eluent stream comprising a cation hydroxide base, (b) flowing a liquid sample stream containing anions to be detected and the eluent through a chromatographic separator portion of said first bed section, to separate said anions to be detected, (c) flowing said aqueous separated anion stream through said second bed section substantially free of anion exchange material and including exchangeable hydronium ions, while applying an electrical potential to convert said base to weakly ionized form, and displacing some of said exchangeable hydronium ions with cations from said base, cations electromigrating from said second bed section to said first bed section in the opposite direction to said aqueous feed stream to replenish exchangeable cations displaced from said first bed in step (a), and (d) flowing said suppressor effluent stream past a detector in which the separated anions in said suppressor effluent are detected.

IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1998-04-10
Abstract: A unit dose, gas-filled syringe is provided which is filled with gas and packaged in a gas barrier material prior to use to increase shelf-life, that is, to minimize gas leakage and dilution of the contents of the syringe. The syringe is filled with a selected gas and sealed inside a container made from a high gas barrier material. The container is also filled with the selected gas. The container material is selected to have a gas transmission rate sufficient to prevent the selected gas from diffusing out of the container into the atmosphere. The volume of gas in the container is greater that atmospheric pressure to prevent atmospheric contaminants from entering the container and syringe.
