Abstract: An optical device (300) comprises a multilayer structure, formed by wafer bonding, incorporating in sequence a silicon dioxide layer (304), a buried silicide layer (306), a contact layer (308) and a silicon surface layer (310). The surface layer (310) is selectively etched to form an exposed rib (312). An upper surface of the rib (312) is doped to form an elongate electrode (314) therealong. The surface layer (310) is selectively etched to the contact layer (308) in regions remote from the rib (312) to form via channels (316a, 316b) for making electrical connection to the contact layer (308). The rib (312) forms a waveguide along which radiation propagates. When the electrode (314) is biased relative to the contact layer (308), charge carriers are injected into the rib (312) and induce refractive index changes in a central region (324) thereof where most of the radiation propagates along the rib (312). The silicide layer (306) provides an efficient current conduction path for injecting the carriers, thereby providing enhanced device operating bandwidth and reduced power dissipation.

Abstract: A fluorescence sensing device for determining the presence or concentration of an analyte in a liquid or gaseous medium is constructed of a light-emitting diode having a hole generally perpendicular to the P-N junction, such that light is emitted from said junction into said hole. The hole is filled with a fluorescent matrix which is permeable to analyte and which contains fluorescent indicator molecules whose fluorescence is attenuated or enhanced by the presence of analyte. A photodetector is positioned at one end of the hole, such that fluorescent light received from the fluorescent indicator molecules if converted to an electrical signal that may be correlated to the presence or concentration of analyte in a gaseous or liquid medium in contact with the fluorescent matrix.

Abstract: A node on a bus structure includes a physical interface to the bus structure. The physical interface determines the port on which an inbound bus packet is received and transmits an outbound bus packet only to an appropriate port connected to the destination node. When receiving a bus packet, the physical interface determines if the port on which the packet was received is a secure port. If it is determined that the packet was received on a secure port, the packet is then dumped to a direct memory access channel where the packet is processed as usual without requiring processor intervention. If the packet was received on an unsecure port, the packet is dumped to a general receive area and the processor is interrupted. The processor then examines the packet to determine whether the packet can be processed without affecting the security of the node. When transmitting a bus packet, the port to which the destination node of the bus packet is connected is determined. The bus packet is then only transmitted on this destination port while the other ports within the physical interface circuit are held busy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for determining rates and mechanisms of reactions in solution. The method comprises mixing reactants together and then passing the reactants, after mixing, to an electrospray or other ion source. The apparatus is configured so that the reaction time can be determined. This can either be by way of a capillary of known length and volume extending from a reaction tee or other mixing device, so that the reaction time can be determined from the capillary volume and flow rate, and/or by way of a container of fixed volume from which the reactants pass. From the ion source, ions pass into a mass spectrometer, where a mass spectrum is measured. By varying the reaction time, and measuring the different mass spectra, the rate of reaction can be determined.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to facilitate passage of lacerated ends of a tendon back into and/or through an associated sheath. The method is often necessary to complete repair when lacerated ends of a tendon retract from the associated laceration site in the sheath. The method includes applying respective elastomeric tubes over lacerated ends of the tendon. Each elastomeric tube is preferably made of thin, elastic rubber. The elastomeric tube also prevents fraying and catching of the respective lacerated end during passage into and through the sheath. Multiple threads are preferably engaged with the elastomeric tube. An applicator is provided to slide a respective elastomeric tube over each lacerated end of the tendon. Each elastomeric tube is placed over the respective lacerated end of the tendon by pulling on the associated threads. After the tube is applied, the applicator is removed. The threads, along with suture strands previously placed in the tendon end, are then used to pull the tube and lacerated end into and through the sheath. Once the tendon is passed through its sheath, the tube is removed by pulling it off the end of the tendon using the threads. A second tube may be applied to the other lacerated end of tendon if necessary. The applicator and elastomeric tube or tubes are preferably discarded at the completion of the surgical repair procedure.
