Abstract: The process provides for disposal of waste materials, including municipal waste such as garbage, industrial wastes, waste materials including rubber and plastics based materials, and ash waste from municipal waste incinerators and toxic waste incinerators. The waste is charged to a reactor, of a top-submerged lancing injector reactor system, containing a molten slag bath maintained in a turbulent condition, during charging of the waste, by top-submerged injection therein of a free-oxygen containing gas, using at least one top-submerged lance of the system. The waste is taken into the molten bath and is caused to circulate therein to a combustion/oxidation zone generated by the top-submerged injection. Constituents of the waste are subjected to free-oxygen of the injected ga s in that zone and to heat energy of the slag, and thereby combusted/oxidised and/or decomposed.

Abstract: A mobile mapping system is designed to generate a geometrically precise three-dimensional detailed model of an unknown indoor environment.     There is no limit on the distance the mobile system may travel, nor on the type of details that can be mapped. The same design is used for environments ranging from simple office hallways to long winding underground mine tunnels. Surfaces and features can be mapped from images acquired by a unique configuration of different types of optical imaging sensors and positioning devices. This configuration ensures that all the information required to reconstruct the three-dimensional environment is included in the collected images. Provided a sufficient overlap between two-dimensional intensity images and combining such with three-dimensional range images, the method reconstructs an environment by adjusting a plurality of images simultaneously.

Abstract: In a thermal printer in which ink is transferred from a single-use thermal print ribbon to a substrate such as packaging material by energising selected print elements of a thermal print head (22), a first print run is executed by energising only a group of print elements in registry with one half of the ribbon width so that ink is depleted only from one half of the ribbon, and a second print run is executed by energising the same group of elements using the same ribbon but with the ribbon supply and take-up spools interchanged in order that ink is depleted only from the other half of the ribbon. This allows printing on comparatively narrow printing areas using ribbon which is at least twice the width of the printed area without undue ribbon wastage and with reduced ribbon breakage frequency compared to the breakage frequency with a ribbon of a width nearer to the width of the printed area.

Abstract: A digital engine analyzer has an oscilloscope display and is controlled by microprocessors operating under menu-driven stored program control.  The analyzer receives analog input signals from an engine being analyzed, engine identification and parameter data entered via a keyboard, function and mode data selected by keyboard, and data communicated from an engine on-board computer via a hand-held scanner device.  The analyzer calculates and displays spark plug burn time information derived from a single analog input signal, a historical display of peak ignition voltage values for a selected cylinder over a number of engine cycles and real time cylinder time balance information.  Peak capture circuitry permit the display of a full cylinder period of a waveform, even though it contains very high frequency portions, by selectively switching between normal and high resolution modes.  The scanner interface permits the scanner control functions to be effected from the analyzer keyboard.

Title: Flat virtual displays for virtual reality
Inventor: SMOOT LANNY STARKES
IPC: G09F9/35
Filed: 1996-12-17
Granted: 2001-06-05
Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual display (300) which provides a wide field-of-view that is lightweight and may be as thin as ordinary eyeglasses. One version of the invention includes a display (302), such as an LCD, a microlens array (304), and an aperture array (306) disposed between the LCD and the microlens array.  The virtual display provides a pin-point of light for each pixel (306) of a display (302). Each pin-point of light in collaboration with an associated microlens (308) generates a directed ray of light. The ensemble of these rays forms a coherent image on a viewer's retina. Using high "f" number microlenses permits a very short focal length between the pin-points and the microlenses and thus provides a very thin virtual display. The aperture array may be provided by a plate disposed between the display and the lens, or it may be apertures configured on the back side (away from the viewer) of the microlenses or on the front (towards the viewer) of the display. Each aperture in the array receives light from one pixel and directs a pin-point of that light to a microlens in the microlens array. Each microlens receives a single pin-point and directs the resulting ray so that a coherent image is formed on the viewer's retina.

Title: Surgical instrument for forming a knot
Inventor: CONLON SEAN P
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 1998-10-07
Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: A surgical instrument for forming a fully tied knot to fasten bodily tissue is disclosed. The instrument has a handle assembly for actuating first and second actuators.  The first actuator remotely effects movement of a grasping jaw from an open position to a closed position relative to a suture cartridge contained in a cartridge carrier at the distal end of the instrument. Accordingly, the first actuator is capable of causing the manipulation of bodily tissue or suture filament contained in the suture cartridge. The second actuator is operatively connected to the suture filament in the suture cartridge. A portion of the suture filament is configured into a partially tied knot, and when the second actuator is actuated, it causes the proximal end of the filament to be pulled for converting the partially tied knot into a fully formed knot. Consequently, the instrument is particularly desirable during endoscopic surgery where the bodily tissue and the suture filament need to be manipulated remotely, and the conversion of the partially tied knot into the fully formed knot must also be carried out remotely to fasten the targeted tissue.

The nut is connected to the free end of the support arm and the top portion of the post is secured to the support arm by a sliding clip which is easily engaged and disengaged. Both the adjustable nut and the post are constructed from brass making them self-lubricating. The nut is also positioned in tight fit over the post whereby, when the nut is rotated to a desired position to adjust the position of the support arm, it will maintain the said position. The adjustable nut is rotated by a standard wrench tool.
