A catheter equipped with an expansible member for expanding a constricted portion inside a blood vessel, comprises an inner tube having a first lumen whose tip is open; an outer tube disposing coaxially with the inner tube, having the tip thereof at a position recessed by a predetermined length from the tip of the inner tube and forming a second lumen between it and the outer surface of the inner tube; a contractible or foldable expansible member having the tip portion fitted to the inner tube and the proximal portion fitted to the outer tube, and communicating with the second lumen near the proximal portion; a first opening communicating with the first lumen disposed at the proximal portion of the inner tube; a second opening communicating with the second lumen disposed at the proximal portion of the outer tube; and a rigidity imparting member disposed in at least one of the inner and outer tubes so as to extend in an axial direction. A method of production of an expansible member for use in a catheter equipped with an expansible member, comprises a step of forming a thermoplastic resin tube and heating an expansible member forming portion of this tube; a step of disposing the heated expansible member forming portion of the tube in an expansible member molding die the inner surface of which is formed in a shape obtainable when the expansible member is inflated; a step of bringing the heated expansible member forming portion of the tube disposed in the expansible member molding die into close contact with the inner surface of the molding die by pressurizing the inside of the tube; a step of cooling the expansible member forming portion of the tube; a step of removing the expansible member molding die from the tube; and a step of cutting the molded expansible member forming portion off the tube.

In an information processing system comprising a plurality of processor units each of which comprises a memory unit, an execution processor, an information transfer unit, and a bus line connected to one another, the memory unit has a control information area and a data area for storing a control information signal and a main data signal, respectively, and a saving area for saving the main data signal which is stored as a copied signal of the data signal. When the copied signal is saved into the saving area, an information transfer unit receives, through the bus line, the main data signal which is read out of the memory unit and which is transferred to the other processor unit. An additional data signal is produced by the other processor unit and stored through the information transfer unit into the saving area. Inasmuch as both the main and the additional data signals are stored in each processor unit, each processor can take over processing carried out in the other processor unit when the other processor unit is faulty.

A catheter guide wire is provided for guiding a catheter into a body cavity such as a blood vessel. The base material constituting the wire is made of an elastic alloy wire and subjected to a heat treatment such that its flexibility is sequentially increased from its proximal to distal end portions. A thermoplastic resin or/and a coil spring can be applied to at least the distal end portion of the wire base material. A method of manufacturing the catheter guide wire is also provided. The method is characterized in that the leading end side of the base material is divided into a plurality of areas and subjected to a heat treatment by changing the heat treatment temperature and the time conditions in units of the areas so that the flexibility of the base material is sequentially increased from the proximal to distal end portions of the leading end side.

A camera which includes a setting means for setting an indication information to indicate that a data should be printed on the back surface of the printed photograph and a recording means for recording the indication signal set by setting means, and a printing apparatus which includes a reading means for reading the indication information recorded by said recording means and a control means for printing the data onto the reverse surface of the printed photograph in response to the indication information read by said reading means.

Print control apparatus

A photographic print control system includes a camera having the feature of indicating print size data and recording data relating to the print size so that a printer can read out the stored print size data and control a printing process for obtaining a print in the indicated size.

Camera or printer capable of automatically changing print size

A reverse printing system is disclosed. A camera has a setting means for setting a reverse print informations and a recording means for recording the reverse print information set by the setting means. A printer has a reading means for reading the reverse print information recorded by the recording means and a control means for printing a photographed image so that the photographed image is reversely printed in accordance with the reverse print information.

A cassette loading apparatus for a video tape recorder includes a cabinet having a cassette insertion opening therein which is adapted to insertably receive a video tape cassette, and a lid mounted on the cabinet for movement between a first position, wherein the cassette insertion opening is closed, and a second position, wherein the cassette insertion opening is open. A cassette holder is adapted to accept and hold a cassette inserted therein and is movable between a cassette insertion position, which is adjacent to the cassette insertion opening, and a cassette operation position, spaced rearwardly and downwardly from the cassette insertion position. A cassette holder driving mechanism is provided to move the cassette holder between the cassette insertion position and the cassette operation position. When the lid is moved to its second or open position, a switch is automatically closed, for actuating the cassette holder driving mechanism so that the cassette holder is moved from the cassette operation position to the cassette insertion position.

A rotary head drum for a video tape recorder includes a stationary lower drum member having a base portion and inner and outer cylindrical portions extending generally upwardly from the base portion to define an internal cavity therebetween. A rotary assembly is rotatably mounted on a rotor shaft coaxial with the lower drum member and has at least one rotary magnetic head mounted thereto for recording digital signals on and reproducing the signals from a magnetic tape wrapped about the drum. A motor for driving the rotary heads, a rotation detector or tach generator for detecting the rotation of the motor, and a multi-channel rotary transformer for transferring digital signals to and from the rotary head are all housed in the cylindrical internal cavity surrounded by the base portion, and inner and outer cylindrical portions of the lower drum member which thereby reduces the overall axial height of the video tape recorder.
