Abstract: A protective barrier assembly for shielding a piercing element such as a pointed needle cannula or blunt ended cannula during or after use of a medical implement. The piercing element includes a longitudinal axis, a length, a distal end which may be pointed or blunt, a proximal end and a passageway therethrough. The assembly may include a hub configured for mounting to a medical implement such as a syringe or evacuated tube holder and having an axial opening through it for receiving the needle so that the distal end of the needle projects outwardly. The assembly also includes a shield with an open end, a closed end, and a sidewall portion with a longitudinal slot extending from the open end toward the closed end. The shield has a first position exposing the needle and a second position wherein the shield obstructs unintentional access to the needle. The shield may be mounted to the hub by a hinge opposite the slot, so that when the slot is moved from the first position to the second position, the slot provides clearance for the needle. A retaining and/or locking mechanism may be incorporated as part of the shield or made integral with the hinge so as to retain/lock the shield in the second position.

Abstract: La correction de grossissement pour balayage de faible champ d'ébauches de grandes dimensions s'effectue en ajoutant des éléments de réglage de grossissement (lentilles 712, 714, 722, 724) à une lentille de Wynne-Dyson à double passe (770) ou tout autre type de lentille de projection un-à-un. Les éléments optiques de réglage de grossissement comporte deux paires (710, 720) de lentilles de faible puissance, l'une associée à chacun des prismes d'entrée et de sortie (731, 732) d'une lentille de Wynne-Dyson. Le mouvement du dispositif optique de réglage de grossissement assure le grossissement positif ou négatif nécessaire à la correction de toute expansion ou contraction de l'ébauche (160) par rapport au réticule (120) et, de ce fait, maintient l'alignement. Une autre correction de grossissement est assurée par une mouvement relatif de faible vitesse entre le réticule (120) et l'ébauche (160) grâce à un deuxième niveau dans le sens du balayage. Ce système corrige toute erreur d'alignement dans le sens du balayage et peut-être utilisé indépendamment de la technique de correction optique avec n'importe quel type de lentille de projection.

Abstract: An external connector mounted on a printed circuit board of a steering system is composed of a first movable carriage to which flexible terminals are secured, a second movable carriage for guiding the first movable carriage in the X direction, and a support carriage for guiding the second movable carriage in the Y direction so that the first and second movable carriages can move in the X and Y directions, respectively, with respect to the support carriage. In connecting a fixed direct coupler of a rotary connector is connected to the thus constructed external connector, if the fixed direct coupler is displaced with respect to the external connector, the first and second movable carriages of the external connector move in the X and Y directions, respectively, with respect to the support carriage, whereby the relative displacement between the fixed direct coupler and the external connector can be absorbed.

Abstract: A signal lighting device for a vehicle in which signal lamps are each provided with a single filament and serve as a turn signal lamp as well as a side lamp. The signal lamps are used for providing turning indication as well as vehicle-width side indication. Two oscillators are used to drive the signal lamps, one of which drives the signal lamps with a visually recognizable flashing frequency to provide turning indication. The other oscillator drives the signal lamps with a visually unrecognizable high frequency to provide vehicle-width side indication. Also, a third oscillator is used to drive a respective signal lamp at a frequency twice the visually recognizable flashing frequency when a corresponding signal lamp on the same side of the vehicle is broken and the vehicle is turned in that direction.

Abstract: An optical system (10) is provided that produces bright, high contrast head-up display images (36) which are not adversely affected by the direct exposure to sunlight of the system's virtual image source. The optical system (10) comprises a light source system (12) which projects a focused light beam (14) to a segmented, electronically-addressed polymer-dispersed liquid crystal ("PDLC")-type film, which serves as a primary image source (16). Selected segments of the image source (16) are made transmissive while other selected segments scatter light. Accordingly, the portions of the focused light beam (14) incident to transmissive segments are transmitted to form a real image (14), while the balance of the focused light beam is scattered. A stray light-blocking system (22, 26), such as a lens/aperture combination (26, 22), is employed to block the scattered light. The real image is projected onto an unsegmented, electronically-addressed PDLC-type film serving as an image screen (30). The image screen (30) is the head-up display image source and replaces other emissive light sources in conventional head-up displays. The PDLC-type image screen (30) is unsegmented so that there are no display elements to provide false information upon exposure to sunlight.

Abstract: A trigger sprayer apparatus is comprised of a sprayer
housing and a vent housing that are formed independently
of each other and are then assembled together. By
providing a separate sprayer housing and vent housing, the
sprayer apparatus may be produced in a manner that
significantly reduces the occurrence of deformations or
imperfections in the component parts of the apparatus.
Moulding the sprayer housing and vent housing separately
enables the cylindrical interior surface of the vent
chamber to be moulded more accurately. Less material is
needed for each component, and shrinkage on cooling is
reduced.

Abstract: A messaging system has a memory device, an external
interface, and a controller coupled to the memory device and
the external interface. If the controller receives a message
from a calling party for a called party through the external
interface, and the called party does not have a mailbox, then
the controller creates a called party mailbox and stores the
message in the called party mailbox. After saving the message
in the called party mailbox, the controller alerts the called
party of the existence of a message saved in the called party
mailbox. The called party may call the messaging system to
retrieve a message stored in the called party mailbox and may
also send a reply message to the calling party. A mailbox
will also be created for calling parties who wish to send
store and forward messages to called parties. The messaging
system provides calling parties with the ability to send or
leave a message for any called party irrespective of whether
the called party is a customer of the messaging service. The
dynamic creation of mailboxes described maximizes the size of
the messaging community, minimizes the investment required,
and avoids unnecessary degradation to system performance.

Abstract: The present invention, in one embodiment provides for
use in a semiconductor device having a metal or dielectric
layer located over a substrate material, a method of
forming an anti-reflective layer on the metal layer and a
semiconductor device produced by that method. The method
comprises the steps of forming a dielectric layer, such as
an amorphous silicon, of a predetermined thickness on the
metal layer or dielectric and forming a gradient of
refractive indices through at least a portion of the
predetermined thickness of the dielectric layer by an
oxidation process to transform the dielectric layer into
an anti-reflective layer having a radiation absorption
region and a radiation transmission region. In
advantageous embodiments, the dielectric layer may be a
substantially amorphous, non-stacked silicon layer.
Additionally, the thickness of the dielectric layer may
range from about 4.5 nm to about 150 nm. Moreover, in
other embodiments, the method may include the step of
doping the dielectric layer with a dopant, such as Boron.
In one aspect of this particular embodiment, the dopant
may comprise from about 0.5% to about 1.0% by weight of
the dielectric layer.
