Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a biopsy device
and method for the collection of at least one tissue sample from a surgical patient.
The device includes a frame and an elongated piercing element attached to the distal
end of the frame. The piercing element has distal end, a proximal end and a lumen
extending at least partially therethrough. The piercing element has a sharpened
member at its distal end for piercing tissue, and a port proximal thereto which
exposes the lumen. The device further includes an elongated cutter and tissue
remover disposed coaxially and slidably within the lumen of the piercing element for
harvesting a tissue mass disposed within the port of the piercing element and
depositing the tissue mass proximal to the port for retrieval. Lastly, the device
includes a mechanism for automatically axially rotating the piercing element after
severing a sample so multiple samples can be harvested about a longitudinal axis of
the piercing element without manually rotating the piercing element.

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a sync signal outputting unit (10) that generates a first sync signal based on an input signal from an input source (2), an internal sync signal generating unit (20) that generates a second sync signal based on stored frequency information relating to the input source (2) and a switching unit (30) that selectively provides one of the first and second sync signals to an image output unit (50). When the apparatus is switched, to receive an input signal from a new input source (1), an updated second sync signal, based on stored information relating to the new input source (1), is used to adapt the driving speed of a colour wheel (56) while an updated first sync signal, based on the frequency of the new input signal, is generated. This allows the updated first sync signal to be generated during stabilisation of the colour wheel (56) at its new driving speed, thereby reducing transition time.

Abstract: A subscriber bandwidth management process and device that allows user/subscribers in a communications network (10) to dynamically alter bandwidth limits independently in both the uplink and downlink data transmission paths. This is accomplished by providing for a single queue in the uplink transmission path and a single queue in the downlink transmission path. Thus, the user/subscriber can efficiently manage their network access according to the specific activity on the network. The network manager benefits from being able to structure bandwidth allocation on a per subscriber basis so that overall data transmission is made more efficient. In addition, the bandwidth manager provides active management of the delivery of data (also known as and referred to herein as traffic shaping) to increase throughput from a gateway device onto the network (10).
