PURPOSE:To smoothly draw out a linear material in use of the linear material while lease winding it on a spool by changing the winding pitches of adjacent layers, which may catch each other, when the linear material such as a tape or the like is wound to form a multi-layer winding. CONSTITUTION:The winding pitches of adjacent two layers are changed from each other, and a linear material T is lease...

A surgical stapling device loaded with staples each having a pair of parallel limbs bridged by a straight crosspiece. In operation, as the limbs are implanted by the device on opposite sides of a skin incision, they are bent inwardly toward each other below the skin surface to close the incision, the crosspiece being bent to create an arched air gap above the skin surface to allow space for post-o...

This invention relates to an instrument for extracting foreign bodies from physiological canals or ducts in the human body, the instrument comprising a catheter containing an inner cable terminating in a slide on which is mounted an outer basket which moves the walls of the physiological canal apart and this outer basket contains therewithin a basket for extracting the foreign body; the spacer bas...

A fluidized bed reactor and operating process is disclosed, the reactor including distributor plate means to provide distribution of fluid passing upwardly into a fluidized bed; a mixing chamber positioned below the distributor plate means; fluid entry means, preferably at the base of the reactor, for the passage of fluid into the reactor; flow deflector means associated with the entry means for p...

PURPOSE:To elongate the pot life of a composition to such an extent that it can not be expanded and cured until it is heated, by mixing a specified organopolysiloxane with an addition reaction-inhibiting agent, a catalyst, etc. CONSTITUTION:A mixture is formed by mixing 100pts.wt. organopolysiloxane (i) having at least two units of formula I (wherein R is an aliphatic unsaturation- free monovalent...

A method of producing a phenolic foam composition comprises reacting (A) an aqueous solution of a reactive phenolic resin having 65-85% wt. solid solution (B) a foaming agent and (C) a reactive acid hardener wherein the ratio of component (A) to component (B) is from 4.5:1 to 9.3:1 and the ratio of component (A) to component (C) is from 6.5:1 to 7.5:1. The phenolic foam composition which has ex...

PURPOSE:To prevent the adhesion of the loops of a superconductive wire rod to each other during heat treatment when the wire rod is wound around a metallic bobbin and heat treated, by winding a metallic sheet around the bobbin in layers before the wire rod to be heat treated is wound around the bobbin. CONSTITUTION:A metallic sheet such as a Cu or stainless steel sheet is slightly loosely wound ar...

PURPOSE:To prevent the adhesion of the loops of a superconductive wire rod to each other during heat treatment when the wire rod is wound around a metallic bobbin and heat treated, by winding a metallic wire around the bobbin in layers before the wire rod to be heat treated is wound around the bobbin. CONSTITUTION:A metallic wire 4 such as a Cu or stainless steel wire is wound around the winding d...

PURPOSE:To attain access to a vector register efficiently by providing a means of prescribing the timing where each access requesting origin is capable of accessing each element storage area. CONSTITUTION:When an access access requesting origin ER2 makes an access request, an access request selecting circuit 58 fetches the inbank address of an address register 35 with a #1 time slot, and sends it ...

PURPOSE:To facilitate control by preventing access requests from colliding with each other in a bank while employing multiplebank constitution for vector registers. CONSTITUTION:Vector registers are composed of banks B0-B7. Respective elements #0, #1-#8. of the vector registers VR0, VR1-VR8 are stored in the banks B0, B1-B8. Similarly, elements are assigned to the banks, and readout vector data ar...

PURPOSE:To make access of vector registers efficiontly, by assigning the elements of the same number of each vector register to the same bank unit. CONSTITUTION:When vector data of vector registers VR0,VR1 are added and write-in instruction to a vector register VRn is executed, first elements #0-#m are sequentially read out from the register VR0 and applied to a register 4. The elements are read o...

A device for collecting manganese nodules or the like from the ocean floor having a frame that is drawn across the ocean floor, a cylinder rotating around a horizontal axis which has on its circumference brushes for picking up manganese nodules in the circumferential direction. A screen surrounds the rear half of the cylinder. Hook-like rods mounted on the screen terminate in prongs pointing in th...

PURPOSE:To receive an incoming call of other than registered time zone without any additional operation by enabling a subscriber to register time zone in which he refuses incoming. CONSTITUTION:When a subscriber 1 who desires refusal of incoming in appointed time zone makes a call and dials a predetermined special number for registering refusal of incoming in appointed time zone, and the starting ...

An anodic aluminum oxide film (12) has a system of larger pores (14) extending in from one face (16) and interconnecting with a system of smaller pores (24) extending in from the other face (26). The film is made by anodizing an aluminum metal substrate, then reducing the applied voltage at a rate to permit partial or complete recovery of the oxide film, either continuously or incrementally in sma...
