Abstract: A method and system for discriminating an object which presents a hazardous to a motor vehicle (12) moving in a first lane of traffic from an object (26) moving in a second adjacent lane of traffic which does not present a hazardous to the vehicle including utilising an antenna (28, 42, 44) mounted flush to a side of the vehicle (12) to produce a radar beam having a beam-width greater than 5-10 degrees to illuminate the object (26). At least a portion of the radar beam is produced along a first axis (20) perpendicular to the direction of motion of the vehicle (12). The reflected signal is received from the object and its velocity is estimated with a Kalman filter relative to the velocity of the vehicle (12) in the direction of a second axis (x) parallel to the direction of motion of the vehicle (12). The object is hazardous if the sum of the measured vehicle velocity and the estimated parallel object velocity is greater than a predetermined threshold. The object is determined not to be hazardous if the sum of the measured vehicle velocity and the estimated parallel object velocity is less than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method for forming integral extensions on the end of directionally oriented, superalloy articles, such as airfoil blading members or other components used in gas turbine or other turbine engines. An extension (20) is formed directly on an article (2) by dipping a portion or end (4) of the article into a molten bath (26) of a compatible alloy, followed by withdrawal of the end under controlled conditions sufficient to cause an integral extension to solidify on the article. A ceramic mold (16) is utilized over the dipped end of the article with a mold cavity that generally defines the shape of the extension to be formed. The mold may be formed in situ, or preformed and attached to the subject article. Extensions formed by the method of this invention have a microstructure (29) that is continuous and compatible with that of the article. Such microstructures may include epitaxial growth of the extension from the microstructure (10) of the article. The method establishes a temperature gradient within the article during solidification that may be further controlled by auxiliary heating and/or cooling of the article and/or extension during the practice of the method.

Abstract: Ureteral stents are tubes which are placed in the ureter between the bladder and kidney to maintain patency when otherwise due to stone burden, invasive tumor, scarring, or whenever the ureter has become obstructed in order to provide drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder. In the past, stents of this nature are open ended tubes and may allow for the reflux of urine back into the kidney when there is sufficient buildup of pressure within the bladder. Since urine is generally considered to be sterile when within the body, this is generally not a problem. However, if the patient has a bladder infection and/or pyrogens are present, then urine refluxed into the ureter and kidney may result in the development of sepsis in the patient and cause serious illness and even death. The stent of the present invention has a very specific design and avoids this problem by providing a stent having a closed section, i.e., the bladder end section does not contain any fluid passageways and also comprises a means for retaining the stent within the bladder after implantation.
