Abstract: Depicted and described is a catheter device (1) for percutaneous interventions, especially injections, biopsies, or the like, comprising an external catheter (1) and an intervention tool, in particular an injection needle (4), biopsy forceps, electrodes, or the like, at the proximal end of the catheter device (1). In a feeding state, the tool is accommodated within the external catheter (2), and the tip of the tool is retracted within the external catheter (2) or is flush with the proximal end (6) of the external catheter (2). The tool can be moved relative to the external catheter (2) in such a way that at least the tip of the tool projects from the proximal end (6) of the external catheter in a state of intervention. A limiting element (7) is provided for limiting the depth of intervention of the tool during the intervention. According to the invention, a distal end (34) of the limiting element (32, 40) is fixedly connected to the tool and/or is mounted in such a way as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the tool along with the tool, a proximal end (35) of the limiting element (32, 40) can be moved relative to the tool, and the limiting element (32, 40) is elastic in the region between the distal end (34) and the proximal end (35). Furthermore, the limiting element (32, 40) can expand radially outward and/or in the proximal direction and form at least one limiting surface (37, 45) for limiting the depth of intervention by advancing the tool out of the external catheter (2).

The method comprises: a) receiving said M encoded audio channels and said set of spatial parameters having the first time resolution; b) employing interpolation over time to produce a set of one or more spatial parameters having a second time resolution from said set of one or more spatial parameters having the first time resolution; c) deriving N audio signals from said M encoded channels, wherein each audio signal is divided into a plurality of frequency bands, wherein each band comprises one or more spectral components; and d) generating a multichannel output signal from the N audio signals and the one or more spatial parameters having the second time resolution. M is two or more, at least one of said N audio signals is a correlated signal derived from a weighted combination of at least two of said M encoded audio channels, and said set of spatial parameters having the second resolution includes a first parameter indicative of the amount of an uncorrelated signal to mix with a correlated signal. Step d) includes deriving at least one uncorrelated signal from said at least one correlated signal, and controlling the proportion of said at least one correlated signal to said at least one uncorrelated signal in at least one channel of said multichannel output signal in response to one or ones of said spatial parameters having the second resolution, wherein said controlling is at least partly in accordance with said first parameter.

Abstract: A steel wire rope for use in a drive system such as found on a sliding vehicle door or window elevator is revealed. Particular about this rope is that it has a remarkable corrosion resistance in combination with a reduced wear of guiding pieces around which the wire rope is guided. The corrosion resistance is obtained by spreading magnesium oxide particles over the zinc or zinc alloy coated steel wires and bringing those particles in contact with the coating. The reduced wear is obtained by spreading fine abrasive particles over the coating. The spreading and contacting can be achieved by means of a liquid carrier such as an aliphatic mineral oil that is commonly used as the lubricant for such steel wire ropes. The magnesium oxide ensures an equal or better corrosion resistance even when reducing the thickness of the zinc coating. Reducing the thickness of the zinc coating increases the strength of the steel wire rope, while maintaining the diameter of the cord. The abrasive particles ensure a polishing of the wire leading to a smoother surface and reduced wear of the guiding pieces.

Abstract: A three-speed gear mechanism for a power tool includes a high speed gear (38) and a low speed gear (34) journalled to the output spindle (26) and an intermediate speed gear (36) keyed to the spindle between the high and low speed gears. The intermediate speed gear serves the dual function of providing a direct torque couple between the idler shaft (68) and spindle (26) in the intermediate speed position and a clutch for transmitting torque from the high and low speed gears to the output spindle in the high and low speed conditions. In addition, in connection with the application of the present invention to a hammer drill to which it is particularly suited, the present invention includes novel means for accommodating the reciprocatory movement of the output spindle while maintaining proper relative positioning between the high and low speed gears.

Abstract: A machine for cleaning walls such as the reactor cavity walls in a nuclear power plant by means of at least one rotatable roller brush. For cleaning machines that must be used hanging by wires it is difficult to achieve a sufficient bearing pressure against the wall to be cleaned. Especially in deep cavities the bearing pressure decreases the longer the cleaning machine reaches into the cavity. The problem has been solved by using a roller brush comprising a plurality of soft grinding sheaves which are axially compressible and decompressible for changing the density of the roller brush and by having counterweight means provided with means for increasing or decreasing its weight and thus changing the weight distribution of the machine for changing the bearing pressure of the machine against the wall.

Abstract: Procédé permettant d'obtenir une image photographique indélébile en couleurs en formant une image latente sur une plaque de base résistant à la cuisson à haute température et utilisant une résine photosensible, consistant à former une image par développement à sec en utilisant un toner contenant un pigment inorganique et en la soumettant à une cuisson à haute température. Ce procédé comprend une étape de cuisson plus simple que celle utilisée dans le développement conventionnel par procédé humide, et est très avantageux dans la production d'images photographiques indélébiles en couleurs. On peut obtenir des images d'excellente qualité en soumettant l'élément photosensible à une étape de gonflement d'images par portion avant l'étape de développement, et l'on peut obtenir, le cas échéant, des images en couleurs en ne les soumettant qu'une seule fois à l'étape de cuisson au cours de la dernière étape du traitement complet. On peut obtenir, dans ce cas, une reproduction suffisamment bonne des couleurs en sélectionnant une combinaison appropriée de pigments. L'image indélébile résultante est très différente des images obtenues par des procédés d'impression conventionnels; elles présentent en effet une bonne définition et gradation ainsi qu'une bonne reproduction des couleurs.

Abstract: A vehicle route finding system whereby a vehicle borne receiver (10) picks up signals from a radio navigation system (14, 15, 16, 23), such as the Loran-C system, and transmits data related to its location to a central station, via the data channel on a radiotelephone link. At the central station a computer (16) determines the vehicle's position from the Loran data and, knowing its desired destination, retransmits routing information back to the driver. True position values additionally transmitted from the vehicle are used to compensate for propagation errors.
