Abstract: Apparatus includes an elongated flexible catheter having proximal and distal end portions, with fluidly connected coaxial lumens extending therebetween, and a diameter sufficiently small for insertion into a patient's intraluminal passageways. One or more treating elements are positionable within one of the lumens and movable between the proximal and distal portions by fluid flowing through the lumens. The distal portion includes a distal guide wire lumen having a proximal exit port distally located relative to the treatment elements positioned at the distal portion. To simultaneously achieve stiffness along the proximal portion and flexibility along the distal portion, the inner and/or outer coaxial members may be of more than one-piece construction. The inner and/or outer members may also be stepped or bumped in diameter to decrease the pressure and fluid transit times within the catheter. A balloon may be added to the distal portion for positioning the catheter or performing angioplasty.

Abstract: Where an arbitrary point on an image is designated in the field of a medical image, it is generally designated on a sectional image, and an arbitrary point on a three-dimensional image cannot be designated. According to the invention the orientation of the three-dimensional image is controlled in a first direction corresponding to the operation of the user. When an arbitrary point of the three-dimensional image is designated by the user, a plane passing through that point and normal to a display screen is created and stored. Next, the three-dimensional image is oriented in a second direction, and an arbitrary point is designated in the second direction by the user. Then, there is created a straight line which passes through that point and which is normal to the display screen. Then, the coordinates of the intersection the stored screen and the straight line are determined, and the point having the coordinates of the intersection point is displayed on the three-dimensional image. As a result, an arbitrary point on the three-dimensional image can be designated by a simple operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention consists of a process for receiving and for screening audiovisual transmissions broadcast by a network. The transmissions consisting of events and of short transmissions possessing a distinctive element, these short transmissions being broadcast by services identifiable by this distinctive element. At a certain moment specified by the broadcaster, a sequence is transmitted on the network, it is replaced at the level of the display of the receiver by another sequence extracted from a service broadcasting short transmissions. The choice of this service is made at the receiver level. To avoid the appearance of a black screen between the network's transmitted sequences and the short transmissions, the receiver dispatches a filler transmission to the screen.
