CONSTITUTION:A lock pin 26 engages a slot in a bracket 23 of floor, and first and second latches 22, 29 are supported pivotably on a plate 24 fixed to the bracket 23. A engaging slot 30 of the first latch 22 and a notch of the second latch 29 can re...

A tubular disposable probe, having a central lumen having a plurality of conductive pathways extending longitudinally of the probe from the proximal end to the distal end, and a reusable connector are provided. The reusable connector is formed of a resilient plastic material and includes two portions which are movable away from each other to permit installation of the connector on the probe at an ...

An energy conserving drive circuit is provided for switched mode power converters having a transformer with primary current controlled by a main power switch whose conduction is in turn controlled by a pulse width modulator. Transformer leakage inductance energy is applied to drive the pulse width modulator and the main power switch in a run mode after start-up. The drive circuit includes an impro...

A cardiac prosthesis having a hydraulically actuated compressible blood pump. An actuation chamber adjacent the blood pump receives pulses of hydraulic actuation fluid from an actuator pump through a fluid inlet path to compress the blood pump during systole and eject blood therefrom. Between pulses the actuation fluid is permitted to drain from the actuation chamber through an outlet path into a ...

A process for producing detergent tablets from free flowing spray dried base builder beads comprising inorganic detergent builders. The builder beads comprise alkali metal phosphate, alkali metal silicate and water. The alkali metal phosphate, component includes a hydrated and an anhydrous portion. Relatively large amounts of liquid or liquifiable detergent ingredients such as surface active agent...

A process for preparing a cathodic electrodepositable coating composition which comprises, in sequence, (i) epoxidizing a high-molecular-weight compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond and having a molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 and an iodine value of 100 to 500 to form an epoxidized high-molecular-weight compound containing 0.5 to 12% by weight of oxirane oxygen, (ii) reacting a part of...

A microcoded central processing unit (CPU) is used to emulate the macroinstructions of a target computer. Each macroinstruction emulated is divided into two phases, an operand derivation or classification phase and an instruction execution phase. A microcontroller is provided to control each of the two separate phases. The two microcontrollers operate in parallel and simultaneously in performing t...

The present invention provides a device which takes the place of the microprocessor in a microprocessor-based system, and which provides the user with manual control and monitoring of the logic level of each separate input or output pin corresponding to the same pin of the single chip microprocessor of the system under test.

An address generator for an M-interleaved memory for accessing row or column elements of a matrix stored in a skewed matrix pattern includes an apparatus for circularly shifting the addresses for the ith row of a matrix by s(i-1) positions so that both row and column elements of the matrix can be accessed at the same access rate. In other words, apparatus is provided for circularly generating the ...
