Title: Bioabsorbable stent assembly and implantable device
Inventor: HANSEN PALLE MUNK
IPC: A61L31/14
Filed: 2012-02-08
Abstract: A bioabsorbable stent assembly (10) is formed with a plurality of stent rings (12) which have sections (16, 18, 24) which are of a non-biodegradable material and struts and tie bars (20, 14) which are at least partially biodegradable. The stent ring (12) thus partially biodegrades in a patient over time. The structure is such that the apices (16, 18, 24) of the stent ring (12) are of a non-biodegradable material and thus able to behave as a conventional non-biodegradable stent, that is with the same flexibility and expansion force consistent with such stent rings. Parts (34, 44) of the stent ring (12) will degrade in time, thereby reducing the restoring force produced by the stent ring (12) and reducing the amount of foreign material retained within a patient's body. In one embodiment, the stent ring (12) will separate into individual components after a period. The stent rings (12) can be used as an implantable medical assembly.

Title: An animal trap for tunnelling animals
Inventor: RELF DAVID HERBERT
IPC: A01M23/24
Filed: 2012-11-01
Abstract: An animal trap for tunnelling animals, has a housing 2 and a support 12 extending within the housing. The support is movable between a first, set position and a second, fired position. A trigger 6 is integrally formed with the support and protrudes from the bottom of the housing in the set position. Wire loops 4, which act to kill an animal, are fixed to the bottom of the support and also protrude downwardly. In the set position of the trap, shoulders (18, fig 6) on the trigger are engaged beneath flanges (20, fig 4) formed on the bottom of the housing. These shoulders and flanges form interengaging means to hold the trigger and the support in the downwardly extending set position against the force of two torsion springs 22 which are each affixed to the bottom of the support and to the housing. The trigger can be moved in either direction relative to the path of the animal due to its flexibility. This causes the interengaging means to become unengaged and the support to move explosively to its upper fired position. The movement of the support explosively lifts the wire loops whereby an animal within a loop is squashed against the bottom of the housing.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining fixed stations location in a wireless communication system
Inventor: KOLLI YACINE EL
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 2014-02-12
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a device for determining fixed stations location in a wireless communication system involving a plurality of fixed stations and at least a mobile one. It is particularly suited for a robotic system where a mobile robot head is wirelessly transmitting raw image or video data to a main station using a plurality of fixed wireless stations located around the robot. When a communication coverage hole is discovered between the fixed stations and the mobile station for a given position of the mobile station, the adjustment of the fixed stations position is decided by taking into account the involvement of the fixed stations in the previous communications with the mobile station in previous positions of the mobile station. When a fixed station has to be picked up for position adjustment, the algorithm gives preference to fixed stations that were the less involved in the previous communication with the mobile station. Accordingly, adjustment of fixed stations may be determined in an efficient way with rapid convergence to a suitable placement.
