摘要:
A field programmable gate array integrated circuit which has numerous features for testing prior to programming the antifuses in the integrated circuit is provided. The circuits used to program the antifuses are also used for much of the preprogramming testing. The functionality of continuous series transistors and latch logic blocks may be tested together with the continuity of their programmable connections. Programmable input/output buffer circuits and clock circuits which set the desired clock network paths may be tested with signals on a serial scan path which passes through the input/output buffer circuits and clock circuits. Process characterization tests without the requirement of high-speed test equipment are also provided.

At least one certain primary or secondary color is established that receives special treatment for at least one printing medium. Such treatment may include (1) using more than two drops of primaries per pixel for binary printing of a particular secondary; or (2) binary-printing the chromatic primary or secondary--but not other hues--after rendition, by use of a "superpixel"; or (3) application of, in effect, a nonintegral number, greater than one, of ink drops per pixel; or (4) combinations of these treatments. As an example of the first of these treatments--using inks optimized for plain paper at one drop of ink for primaries and two (one of each of two primaries) for secondaries--red is printed on transparency film as one drop of yellow ink and two of magenta in each pixel. As to the second treatment, the superpixel is preferably a group of pixels (e.g., a two-by-two array) including the target pixel, in which group each pixel is inked and at least one pixel receives at least two drops of ink.

A two-part ligation clip applicator comprises a handle assembly having a squeezable trigger and an elongated shaft connected at its proximal end to the handle assembly. The elongated shaft houses a sliding advancer which is actuated by squeezing the trigger to move axially in a forward direction in the shaft. In addition, a module is mountable at a distal end of the elongated shaft and supports a ligation clip. The module has a cartridge housing, latches pivotably mounted within the housing for gripping first part of the ligation clip, and a sliding pusher slidable within the housing by actuation of the advancer to engage the second part of the ligation clip and advance it relative to the first part to close the first part.

A transanal insertion device for surgically inserting an anastomosis ring having two unitary members into a tubular anatomic member comprises a distal adapter, a proximal adapter and an actuator. The distal adapter includes a hollow distal sleeve and a spring-loaded distal spool axially movable within the distal sleeve. The distal spool is biased in a first direction by a distal spring and includes alignment fingers pivotably connected thereon for aligning a first unitary member. The proximal adapter has a hollow proximal sleeve and a spring-loaded proximal spool axially movable within the proximal sleeve. The proximal spool is biased in a second direction by a proximal spring and includes alignment fingers connected thereon for aligning a second unitary member. The proximal member also includes a proximal gripper for securing the second unitary member on the proximal hollow sleeve. The actuator includes an elongated tube with a collar connected to its distal end and a handle assembly connected to its proximal end. First and second flexible rods connected to the handle assembly extend through the elongated tube. The flexible rods are manipulated to engage the distal adapter and draw it relative to the proximal adapter. The rods are also manipulated to release the distal and proximal adapters from their respective unitary members so the distal adapter, the proximal adapter and the actuator can be withdrawn transanally.

A safety trocar instrument, for piercing the wall of an anatomical cavity to provide communication with the inside of the cavity, includes a tubular cannula and an elongate trocar having a sharp piercing point. The trocar is mounted for axial reciprocal movement within the cannula between a withdrawn rest position, in which the point is received within and shielded by the distal end of the cannula, a fully extended position in which the point is exposed beyond the distal end of the cannula, and an intermediate retracted position in which the point also is exposed beyond the distal end of the cannula. A retraction spring biases the trocar to its withdrawn position. A latch latches the trocar, in opposition to the retraction spring, for reciprocal movement between the fully extended and intermediate positions. A trip member couples the trocar to the latch member when the trocar moves from the fully extended position to the intermediate position, and trips the latch member when the trocar returns toward the fully extended position to unlatch the trocar and permit it to be moved to the withdrawn position by the retraction spring.
