Abstract: A technique for removing an implanted stent (10) and a device useful therefor. An endoscope (60) is introduced into position at the proximal end (15) of the implanted stent (10) and a cannula (70) is then introduced through the endoscope (60). A wire guide (80) is then passed through the cannula (70) and into the duct (20) through the lumen of the stent (10) which is to be removed. The cannula (70) is then removed and a stent retrieval cable (90) is advanced over the wire guide (80) and into position at the proximal end (15) of the stent (10). The stent retrieval cable (90) is torqueable, and has a tapered thread (91a) at its distal end and a rotation dial (92) at its proximal end. Once the retrieval cable (90) has been placed into position, the rotation dial (92) is turned to engage the threading (91a) into the lumen of the stent (10). After the stent (10) has been attached to the retrieval cable (90) in this manner, the stent (10) and cable (90) are removed together through the endoscope (60) and out of the body, leaving the endoscope (60) and wire guide (80) in place for use in the implantation of the replacement stent (10). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A decaffeinated coffee product which will evoke a decreased gastric acid response upon ingestion is produced by removing potassium such that the coffee product contains less than half its normal content of potassium, and decaffeinated coffee beverages obtained from the coffee product have a potassium content of less than about 50 mg per cup. The decaffeinated coffee product may also have a reduced content of malic acid, or both. Potassium is removed from solid coffee products by extraction and from liquid coffee products by ion exchange, membrane separation, and the like.

Abstract: An apparatus for pre-piercing billets includes a generally cylindrical container for receiving and supporting a generally cylindrical billet, a mandrel bar mounted for axial movement along the axis of the cylinder for penetrating the billet, and a bolster for engaging the billet during penetration of the billet by the mandrel bar, wherein the bolster includes a bolster pin which is axially movable along the axis of the container, the bolster pin having an end which contacts the billet during penetration of the billet by the mandrel bar such that the billet deforms about the end of the bolster pin. A movable support is carried by the mandrel bar toward the billet during advancement of the mandrel bar prior to pre-piercing the billet, the movable support being configured to enter the generally cylindrical container to engage a portion of the container so as to provide additional structural rigidity to the mandrel bar to resist deflection of the mandrel bar during penetration of the billet.

Abstract: Coded modulation schemes based on codes for QPSK modulation are directly incorporated into QAM based modulation systems, forming trellis coded QAM, to provide a practical coding structure that is both efficient in bandwidth and data reliability. Concatenated coding with QPSK based trellis coding and symbol error correcting coding is used. In an encoder (Fig. 2), an N-bit QAM constellation pattern (80) is divided into four subsets, each including N/4 symbol points of the constellation pattern. A two-bit QPSK codeword (92) is assigned to each of the four subsets (82, 84, 86, 88). A symbol to be transmitted is first encoded using an outer error correcting encoding algorithm, such as a Reed-Solomon code (12). Part of the symbol is then encoded (48) with an inner code that comprises a rate 1/2 trellis encoding algorithm to provide a QPSK codeword, which is mapped (50) with the remaining bits of the symbol to provide a modulation function, wherein the remaining bits (94) correlate the symbol with one of the symbol points included in the subset defined by the QPSK codeword. At a receiver (Fig. 3), the recovered modulation function is pruned (62) to provide a set of metrics (66) corresponding to the subsets and to provide a plurality of conditional determinations of the constellation point identified by the remaining bits. The metrics are used in a rate 1/2 trellis decoder (68) to recover a first bit that is encoded using a rate 1/2 encoding algorithm to recreate the QPSK codeword. One of a plurality of the conditional determinations is selected in response to the recreated codeword. The selected conditional determination is combined with the recovered first bit to provide a decoded output that is further decoded using a symbol error correcting algorithm such as a Reed-Solomon code (36). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring rule, especially a folding rule, consisting of at least one bar element which exhibits the longitudinal scale. Lengths can be measured with such a measuring rule. A special angle-measuring device has hitherto been necessary to measure angles. This has caused delays during working. The object of the invention is therefore to avoid these disadvantages. This object is solved by arranging an angle-measuring device (3) on the bar element (1). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the longitudinal rolling of seamless steel pipes (8) in a continuous rolling operation via an internal tool (2) in a multi-stand roll train, the rolls of the successive roll stands being installed offset relative to one another. In order to specify a method in which elongation sufficient to allow the production of double lengths of pipe with the minimum number of roll stands can be achieved, it is proposed that, in a first pass of just two successive rolling passes, a reduction in the wall thickness corresponding to or slightly less than the wall thickness of the finished pipe be made in the base (6) of the roll groove with the flanks (5) of the roll groove open, that, in the second roll pass, the flank region of the first roll pass be reduced in the transverse direction to the wall thickness of the finished pipe in the base of the roll groove of the second rolling pass, the circumferential enlargement of the tube due to the widening being reduced by stretching the pipe along its longitudinal axis without a reduction in wall thickness or with a slight reduction in wall thickness, by the simultaneous application of a controlled tensile force on the pipe between the two rolling passes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A multi-layer disk fan with blades, which is operable quietly. In the multi-layer disk fan with the blades formed by laminating a multiplicity of annular disks at predetermined intervals therebetween, the arrangement having such a feature that a multiplicity of blades are interposed between the annular disks and the outer ends and/or the inner ends of the respective blades are positioned a predetermined distance inward of the outer peripheral edges of the annular disks is adopted. With this arrangement, turbulent flow caused by peeling at the tips of the blades through the effect of laminar flows by the disks can be effectively prevented, and moreover, distortion in the outlet speed at the outer peripheral edges of the annular disks can be controlled to reduce noises due to the turbulent flow and the interference, thus enabling the quiet operation. <IMAGE>
