Abstract: A reliable and economical apparatus (20) for automatedly
removing used needles having screws from syringes and for
storing the same without medical accidents into a disposing
container is provided. A rotatable hollow cylinder (1) formed
around a stopping position (a) of an inserted syringe equipped
with the needle (8) supports a rotatable disk (2) around the cylinder.
Arms (3) having supported ends rotatably supported around
supporting pins (7) aligned along a coaxial circle figured on the
disk and having free ends (3b) formed of serrated edges (3c) to face a
needle holder (8b) are individually intruded through holes (4) formed
on the cylinder into inside. The disk (2) driven by a motor (6)
traverses the free ends inwardly inside the cylinder to grip
the holder (8b) using side edges of the holes (4) as flucra of levers
because the cylinder is in a suppressed status for rotation
with a braking load. A further rotation of the motor (6) drives
the disk (2) rotating the needle (8) together with the cylinder (1) in an
unscrewing direction, overcoming a braking load-induced
friction. During unscrewing, gripping forces of the ends (3b) are
maintained by a dynamic friction-induced braked rotation of
the cylinder (1). Removed needles (8) are dropped by a reverse
rotation of the motor (6) on a cone (13) to be accumulated in an equal
thickness to reduce contaminant generations. An entrance (12) of
the container (11) is enclosed with a lid during disposal, which
has been tentatively fixed on outer walls of the container,
when the container is full of needles.

Abstract: An ultrasonic continuous wave doppler blood flowmeter
deflects an ultrasonic continuous wave to an
arbitrary angle and transmits it into an organism,
thereby measuring a blood flow speed of the organism.
Two continuous sine wave signals of different phases
and a plurality of sets of pairs of coefficients are
generated by sine wave generators (4a, 4b) and
coefficient generator (6). One of each of the pairs
of coefficients is multiplied to one of the two sine
wave signals. The other one of each of the pairs of
coefficients is multiplied to the other one of the two
sine wave coefficients. After that, two sine wave
signals after the multiplication are added, so that a
plurality of synthesis sine wave signals are
generated. When a plurality of micro vibrators (1a -
1h) are driven by the plurality of synthesis sine wave
signals, the ultrasonic continuous wave is deflected
to an arbitrary angle and is transmitted into the
organism.

Abstract: The apparatus and method of the invention relates to the
formation of ducts or passageways, referred to as ducts
underground by using existing lengths of plant (2) such as pipes,
cables or wires, or a length of plant laid in predetermined
position as a guidance or reference for the drill head (4) used to
form the duct or passageway as it passes through the ground.
The plant is used to generate an electromagnetic field which is
sensed by at least one electromagnetic field sensor (10,12) mounted in
the drill head, said sensor rotated to allow comparison of
signals and the distance of the drill head from the plant to be
calculated. Other sensors can also be provided to determine
other positional characteristics of the drill head with respect
to the plant. This allows the duct to be formed with the
avoidance of potentially hazardous plant and/or along a path
which is determined with reference to the plant. The apparatus
can also be used as a guidance means without the drill to pass
along existing passageways and indicate the path of the same
using the same operating procedure.

Abstract: In a combined scanning near field optical microscope (Nsom) and atomic force microscope (AFM), an
optical fibre probe (1) which has a minute opening on the top of a sharpened tip
is brought close to a sample (2), and the probe is moved by a piezo actuator (15) along x- and
y-axis directions so that a minute spot beam emanating from the minute opening can
scan over the sample. For circular polarisation modulation to be incorporated in the
process, a beam is given an optical delay, before it is incident on the optical fibre probe
(1), changing at a frequency of p (Hz) by means of a piezo-optical modulator (10). A
minute spot beam emanating from the minute opening passes through the sample (2) to be
received after passage through the sample (2) to be received after passage through an
analyser (5) by a light receiving element (7). The output from the light receiving element (7)
is fed to a lock-in amplifier, p- and 2p-components are separated through lock-in
rectification, and they are rendered into images by a controller (16).

Abstract: A SCSI bus extender apparatus coupling a primary SCSI bus to a secondary
SCSI bus includes a mechanism for detecting and resolving contention between
a substantially simultaneous SELECTION operation on the primary bus and a
RESELECTION operation on the secondary bus. The inventive method
contemplates the bus extender arbitrating for control of the primary bus after a
conflict is detected, and releasing control of the secondary bus if control of the
primary bus is obtained. A target device on the secondary bus can then
rearbitrate for control of the secondary bus. Once the target device controls the
secondary bus, it can direct a RESELECTION signal to the bus extender, which
responsively directs the signal to an initiator device on the primary bus. If the
bus extender is unable to gain control of the primary bus after a conflict is
detected, the SELECTION operation is allowed to proceed and the target
device reattempts to assert the RESELECTION operation thereafter.
