Abstract: A rotating cutting head catheter for passage through chronic total occlusions or other refractory atherosclerotic plaque from diseased arteries is disclosed. The catheter's rotating cutting head is designed to reside safely within an outer protective sheath when not in use. The outer protective sheath contains one or more helical groves or slots, and the cutting head contains protruding blades or projections that fit into these helical groves or slots. Application of torque to an inner catheter or wire attached to the cutting head applies spin to the cutting head, and the force of the sheath's helical groves or slots against the cutting head's protruding blades or projections advances the cutting head outward from the protective sheath. Once extended, the cutting head may now rotate freely. The device may use a guidewire to direct the cutting head to the desired position.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for controlling a conveyor belt condition monitoring system, and for automatically providing user alarms and system trips when sensed conditions exceed acceptable values. The system may use sensors to measure magnetic disruptions ("events") in belt components and an algorithm may be used to monitor changes in these disruptions over time. The magnitude of these changes can then be used to predict when belt failures will occur. The system may also be used to sense when imminent failure of the belt will occur and to automatically stop the belt before failure occurs. An integrated display provides detailed information on the measured belt events and enables the user to customize alarm/trip levels and to assess problem conditions via a virtual private network or the Internet while the belt is operating. The system is modular so that its features may be selectively integrated into existing facility- wide monitoring systems.

Title: Scalable video encoding method and scalable video encoding apparatus
Inventor: HAYASE KAZUYA
IPC: H04N19/30
Filed: 2009-10-21
Abstract: In scalable video encoding, incidence rates of combinations of optimum prediction modes to be selected for spatially corresponding blocks of an upper layer and a lower layer are determined based on an optimum prediction mode that was selected in a conventional encoding, and then a correspondence table that describes relationships therebetween is created. Subsequently, the combinations of the selected optimum prediction modes described in the correspondence table are narrowed down based on the value of the incidence rate so as to create prediction mode correspondence information that describes the combinations of the optimum prediction mode narrowed down.     When encoding the upper layer block, the prediction mode search candidate that is to be searched in the encoding is decided by referring to the prediction mode correspondence information using as a key the optimum prediction mode selected in the encoding of the spatially corresponding lower layer block and thereby reducing the number of the prediction mode search candidates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing tissue adhesion which comprising a bio-compatible hyaluronic acid and a polymer compound. More specifically, the invention is a composition containing hyaluronic acid which has not been modified by a chemical crosslinking or other chemical modification a method for preparing the same, and a composition for adhesion prevention with superior efficacy..   The composition of the present invention for preventing adhesion exhibits a physical barrier function and a new adhesion prevention function whereby thrombus formation, which is the basis of adhesion, is inhibited. Unlike conventional compositions which simply mixpolymeric substances that function as physical barriers, the present invention performs a more effective role as a physical barrier by undergoing decomposition, absorption and excretion after a certain period inside a human body, does not interfere with healing of scars following surgery, and exhibits superior effects since application to areas of surgery is convenient.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a thermoplastic polyurethane which is comprised of the reaction product of (1) a hydroxyl terminated polyester intermediate, (2) a polyisocyanate, and (3) a glycol chain extender; wherein the hydroxyl terminated polyester intermediate is comprised of repeat units that are derived from 1,3-propylene glycol and a dicarboxylic acid; wherein the hydroxyl terminated polyester intermediate has a number average molecular weight from 500 to 10,000; and wherein the thermo-plastic polyurethane includes hard segments that are the reaction product of the polyisocyanate and the glycol chain extender. This thermoplastic polyurethane is unique in that it has a greatly reduced tendency to bloom. This is highly desirable in applications where high clarity is described because blooming causes articles containing the thermoplastic polyurethane to be hazy or foggy in appearance. Blooming can also reduce the ability of an article made with the thermoplastic polyurethane to be securely bound to another article with an adhesive.
