A replaceable accessory and cord set (10) for an electrosurgical instrument (11) that has a proximal end (15) handle (26) for holding by the surgeon and distal end (16) effectors for delivery of electrosurgery to a patient (12). A cord (17)electrically couples an electrosurgical generator (14) to the instrument with two or more conductors (18). A handswitch (19) with normally open contacts (20) is...

Medical instruments solid lubricants are shown to survive an oxidizing sterilization process if they employ solid lubricants free from disulfide and diselenide compound such as molybdenum disulfide and the instrument is kept freefrom such compounds PTFE, powdered graphite and boron nitride are preferred solid lubricants. Of particular importance are flexible endoscope employing solid lubricants on...

The present invention relates to a rubber composition containing a starch/plasticizer composite and to pneumatic tires having at least one component comprised of such rubber composition. Such tire component can be, for example, its circumferential tread or other component of the tire. The starch/plasticizer composite can be a composite of starch and plasticizer such as, for example, poly (ethylene...

A compensator is used with a machine frame having a pair of ends, a first mold half secured to one of the frame ends, a second mold half movable along an axis toward and away from the first mold half, and an actuator braced against the other frame end and having an outer end operatively engageable with the second mold half for pressing the second mold half axially against the first mold half. The ...

The object of the invention is a method and a circuit arrangement for processing a spread spectrum signal and a frequency modulated signal. According to the invention the radio frequency signal is received (1, 2), the received signal is converted into an intermediate frequency signal (3, 4a, 4b), and then an intermediate frequency signal processing (6, 30, 31, 40) is made and the processed interme...

A method for modeling linear control systems that are asymptotically stable provided that any initial deviation is within a definite bound is described. The method includes the steps of generating a parametric model of the quasi steady state system, generating a time-invariant parametric mapping function, using the system model, to relate a system setpoint parameter at a system setpoint function t...

An integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation system is operated with a cryogenic air separation system which produces oxygen used in a gasification system to produce fuel gas for the IGCC combustion turbine and pressurized nitrogen which is introduced into the combustor for control of nitrogen oxides and increased combustion turbine output. The air separation system produces a...

The device relates to a manually operated portable electronic flasher unit that can temporarily blind the eyesight of persons who might be potential threats in any dark or dim area, and which may cause observers to be momentarily startled, providing the operator with the advantage of time in whichto react to a situation while maintaining free and unobstructed use of both arms. It is common in pers...

Un actionneur magnétique, tel qu'un palier magnétique, comprend une partie fixe (2) et une partie mobile (1). Ces parties sont ferromagnétiques et forment entre elles un entrefer (E) s'étendant parallèlement à une première direction prédéterminée. L'actionneur magnétique comprend en outre une paroi amagnétique (3) interposée dans l'entrefer; La paroi est par exemple celle d'une enceinte de confine...

A sound and vibration-damping stirrup connects beam, profiles or similar in a system of joists, particularly an under roof, and has devices for fixing it to an upper beam (1) and components (12) for supporting a lower beam (2) suspended below the upper beam with the stirrup (3) between them. The devices for fixing the stirrup include a component (7,8) for hooking firmly onto a flange (4) in the up...

The partition wall framing stud or rail (8) comprises a web (8) with a central stress-equalisation zone (4). It also comprises two flanges (10,11) to which plasterboard or other building panels are nailed or glued. The flanges also include a short return along their free edges. The member (8) is made from a flat blank of thin sheet steel processed by rolling or stamping to expand most of the flang...

An electronic-circuit assembly of the present invention comprises a plurality of film carriers which are stacked. Respective film carriers have a plurality of through-holes. One of through-holes is provided on corresponding position to another through-hole in the stacked direction of the substrate. Two of adjacent film carriers are connected by the corresponding through-holes. A connection member ...

A data transmitter-receiver for reducing high-frequency noise which leads to a cause of performance deterioration of a radio instrument, and for eliminating dissipation current. The data transmitter-receiver transmits transmitting data to a modulator-demodulator connected to a radio instrument, and receives receiving data from the modulator-demodulator. A terminal controlling section 3 of the data...
