Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: A stent (40) is provided with a multi-layer structure, combining one or more mesh layers (30a, 30b, 30c) with one or more film layers. The film layer(s) are configured to substantially prevent growth of an inner lining of a blood vessel, where the stent is placed, through the mesh layer(s). The end-to-end length of the film layer(s) may be greater than the lengths of the mesh layer(s) by at least about 0.5 mm. The mesh and film layers (30a, 30b, 30c) include a radiopaque portion adjacent their ends to provide an X-ray indication of whether the mesh layer(s) have expanded beyond the ends of the film layer(s). If the stent includes inner and outer film layers and a middle mesh layer, the film layers may be sealed together adjacent the ends. Encasing and fixing in place the middle layer. The mesh layer may be constructed to be more compliant adjacent its distal end and to expand more rapidly in response to expansion of a balloon catheter (12) as compared to a middle portion of the mesh layer.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel solid pharmaceutical
dosage form which includes an opiate, an opiate
antagonist admixed with the analgetic (opiate agonist) and
an amount of a hydrocolloid containing excipient which is
effective to form a non-injectable slurry when the dosage
form is contacted with water. In addition the dosage form
contains pure naloxone in enteric coated form which is
designed to release in the colon to prevent or relieve
constipation. Thus the formulation, because of the
enteric coated naloxone and the hydrocolloid
excipient(s), has reduced side effects as compared with
formulations which do not contain these features.

Abstract: Precision and reliability of localization estimates derived from conventional
localization systems are improved through a system and method for post-processing
of initial localization data, even in environments which may include
noise, reflections, or other interference. Such localization systems include
conventional sound source localization (SSL) systems based on microphone
array inputs, radio source location systems based on directional antenna array
inputs, etc. In general, this post-processing system and method applies
statistical real-time clustering to initial localization estimates, and then uses this
real-time clustering in a multi-stage process to generate new localization
estimates having improved precision and reliability relative to the initial
localization estimates.

Abstract: According to the invention, the thickness, traction forces and flatness is controlled by means of a single control device as part of an integrated, model-predictive thickness, traction and flatness control operation. The integrated control device takes into account the influence the adjustment of the control variables has on the thickness, the traction force and the flatness of the rolled strip and optimises the modifications of the control variable in such a way that a selected quality of the thickness and the flatness control is obtained. The quality of the thickness and the quality of the flatness control, which are weighted differently, can effect the quality function of the control device. The use of the integrated control device improves the performance and the stability of the control device in relation to the control devices which are arranged in a separate manner from each other.
