An apparatus and method is disclosed to resect and remove tissue. The apparatus is particularly suited for operation on the prostate for treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The apparatus has a deflectable member (18),which may be a wire, and which conducts electrosurgical current. The deflectable member (18) protrudes from an opening (22) near the distal end (13) of a hollow tube. Tis...

A turret for a tire building system having two drums with drum shafts mounted on the turret and adjusted so that the axes of the drum will be offset and parallel providing a compact turret assembly with a minimum shaft length and weight. The offset drum shafts provide for positioning of the drums in operating positions of different heights relative to the floor surface so that manual operations ca...

The present invention relates to a novel ethylene/pentene-1 copolymer whose molded film has a good balance between impact resistance and tear properties and high transparency, also is prominently reduced in a variation of the transparency even after subjected to a heat treatment, and further shows high blocking resistance, provided that the copolymer fulfills specific requisites. The invention als...

A method for forming a curve or curves in a thin solid surface material such as an acrylic sheet material comprising the steps of: a) taking a sheet of solid surface material of a thickness within the range of 1.4mm to 5.9mm; b) placing the sheet in or on an apparatus which includes a heating station comprising a platen or platens and a vacuuming station including a sandwich mould; c) setting the ...

The invention relates to synchronizing in communication systems by using a sequential correlation technique. A digital sequence known to the receiver, a so-called signature, is allocated a plurality of segments. The segments are correlated, segment for segment, in a correlator (300) which is equally as long as the segment. The segments may have the same or different bit patterns. When a first segm...
