Abstract: A pusher assembly for a delivery system for a self-expanding stent (6) which is delivered by proximal withdrawal of a sheath (4) radially surrounding the stent has a stent pusher element (8) which defines a lumen for a guidewire (2), a pusher strand (16) that extends to the proximal end of the delivery system and bears an end-wise compressive stress during release of the stent. A transfer shaft (12) links the distal end of the pusher strand (16) to the pusher element (8) and lies side-by-side with the guidewire (2). In a rapid exchange version, an adapter (20) provides two lumens side-by-side, one (22) carrying the pusher strand (16) and the other (14) defining a proximal guidewire part. To the adapter is mounted the proximal end of the stent sheath (4). The system allows modular (14) construction, a tapered tip (4A) on the sheath, and an uncluttered internal configuration which facilitates passage of pulses (F) of liquids from the proximal to the distal end of the system.

Abstract: A contrast enhanced dynamic study of a subject is performed with a CT system. A series of undersampled image data sets are acquired during the study with successive data sets acquired at interleaved projection angles. More fully sampled image data sets are formed by transforming the x-ray attenuation projection data to k-space and then sharing peripheral k-space data between undersampled k-space data sets. Artifacts due to undersampling are thus reduced without significantly affecting the time resolution of a series of reconstructed images.

Abstract: A monobloc piston has a piston head with a combustion bowl formed in its upper surface and a plurality of ring grooves formed in an outer surface of a ring belt. An oil cooling gallery is formed in the piston head which is defined in part by a wall of the combustion bowl and ring belt. The piston has a unitized, immovable piston skirt which is formed as one piece with the pin bosses and fixed at its upper end to the ring belt. Piston rings are disposed in each of the ring grooves, and the piston head is further formed with an oil drainage groove which is located below the lowest of the ring grooves. The oil drainage groove is closed in the vicinity between adjacent pin bores but is open across outer side faces of the pin bores such that oil collected in the oil drainage is drained to the crank case across the open side faces to better manage the flow of oil scraped from the walls of the piston cylinder during operation of the piston to reduce oil consumption and hydrocarbon emissions.

Abstract: An apparatus dispenses detergent into a warewasher from a reservoir wherein a flow control device controls the flow of the detergent. A sensor measures the electrical conductivity of water within the warewasher and produces a conductivity measurement. A controller operates the flow control device in a first mode in which the quantity of detergent dispensed into the warewasher is determined in response to the electrical conductivity of the water. If the conductivity measurement is determined to be unreliable, the controller operates in a second mode in which a predefined quantity of detergent is dispensed into the warewasher. The reliability of the conductivity measurement is determined based on the amount that the conductivity changes upon detergent being added to the warewasher.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé, un programme informatique et un dispositif de régulation pour commander une soupape de régulation de pression (200) dans un système d'injection de carburant (700) d'un moteur à combustion interne. Ledit procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: détermination d'une valeur prescrite de courant provisoire au moyen d'une courbe caractéristique pression nominale-courant de soupapes de régulation de pression pour commander la soupape de régulation de pression; détermination d'un écart par comparaison d'une valeur prescrite de pression préallouée pour un accumulateur de carburant (710) avec la pression réelle régnant dans l'accumulateur de carburant; détermination d'une valeur de correction de courant en fonction de l'écart déterminé et détermination d'une valeur prescrite de courant corrigée par correction de la valeur prescrite de courant provisoire d'une valeur correspondant à la valeur de correction de courant. L'objectif de l'invention est de permettre une telle adaptation de la valeur prescrite de courant ou une telle adaptation de la courbe caractéristique pression-courant, même en cas de fonctionnement non stationnaire du moteur à combustion interne. A cet effet, ledit procédé est mis en oeuvre uniquement lorsque le moteur à combustion interne est en régime de décélération.

Abstract: An image sensor ( 1 ) having a semiconductor body ( 2 ) with a first conductivity type and having a surface ( 3 ), the surface being provided with a number of cells ( 4 ), a cell comprising a photosensitive element ( 5 ) and a reset transistor ( 6 ), the reset transistor comprising a source region ( 7 ), a drain region ( 8 ) and a gate region ( 9 ), the source region ( 7 ) and the drain region ( 8 ) having a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type, the source region ( 7 ) of the reset transistor ( 6 ) being electrically connected to the photosensitive element ( 5 ). There is a well region ( 10 ) present which well region extends from the surface ( 3 ) into the semiconductor body ( 2 ) and extends at least partly below the gate region ( 9 ) and the well region has a first conductivity type. The source region ( 7 ) extends at least substantially in a doped region ( 11 ) of the photosensitive element ( 5 ), the doped region ( 11 ) having a second conductivity type. The reduction of the source-well junction area reduced the number of white pixels and fixed pattern noise. In the method of manufacturing the image sensor, the well region ( 10 ) is positioned partly below the gate region ( 9 ) so that there is a distance ( 13 ) between the highly doped source region ( 7 ) and the well region ( 10 ). The distance ( 13 ) increases the depletion layer width between the source and well junction, so that tunnel currents no longer dominate the leakage currents and the related number of white pixels and fixed pattern noise are reduced.
