Abstract: An instrument for achieving rapid homostasis at the
conclusion of a catheterization procedure comprising a
hemostatic agent injection device for use with a
conventional introducer sheath used to gain access to the
blood vessel. The injection device includes an elongated
tubular member having ejection ports proximate its distal
end. A hub member is located on the proximal end of the
tubular member and includes an elongated groove or track
located in its surface with a transparent cover. The
enclosed track is in fluid communication with the lumen
extending through the tubular member. After the
catheterization procedure, the instrument is inserted into
the introducer sheath. Blood flows into the lumen of the
device and into the enclosed track. Tile leading edge of
the blood pulsates within the enclosed track, clearly
indicating that the ports are located in the blood vessel
and subjected to variations in blood pressure. The
instrument and introducer sheath are then slowly retracted
as a unit in the puncture wound. The blood flow will stop
pulsating in the enclosed track when the ports have exited
the blood vessel wall. A hemostatic agent is then injected
by the instrument adjacent the vessel wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data transfer method and a
system in a computer network to which are connected a number of
computers, more specifically to a data transfer method of stream data
continuous in time series and a system for it. The present invention
makes a request for change of rate from the client 470 in correspondence
to the state of vacancy of said receiving buffer 412, and changes the
send rate on the server 400 based on that request for change of rate.
This prevents any overflow of stream data from the receiving buffer
412. Furthermore, based on the re-transfer request issued from the
client 470 in correspondence to the loss of stream data received by said
packet receiving means 410, the storing means on the server 400 sends
out data corresponding to the lost data concerned. This makes it
possible to compensate for the loss in case of occurrence of any data
loss.

Inventor: BENVENISTE MATHILDE
IPC: H04W16/06

Abstract: In a transition phase of a cellular cell from analog-to-digital radio
service it must be determined how many of the base station radios in a cell must be
changed over from analog to digital, given the proportion of mobile phones with
dual-mode capability to analog phones. A dual-mode mobile phone has the
capability to interface with both analog and digital radios. In determining the radio
mix, it is desirable to maximize the call handling capacity of a cell, or minimize the
blocking experienced by the mobile subscribers. To address these questions, an
analytical model is developed to compute the blocking rate experienced by mobile
callers in a cell, given the cell's offered load, the mix of analog and dual-mode
mobiles, and the analog-digital split of the RF channels available to the cell. The
model's results enable selection of the channel split that gives the lowest blocking
rate, and to compile charts that show the relationship between the proportion of
dual-mode mobiles, the number of digital radios in a cell, and the maximum offered
load that can be served at a specified blocking rate.

Abstract: An MPEG decoder operates in 2.5 frame store mode, and has an efficient memory
management which allows a B picture to be stored and displayed while simultaneously
making use of a portion of the frame store memory. The video frame is
treated as a grid, having rows of 8 x 8 pixel blocks. The pixel blocks are manipulated
in three FIFOs which are cross-connected in a closed loop. Two processes operate
on the memory so arranged: (1) a video reconstruction process which writes data
into the memory, and (2) a display process, which accesses the memory and writes
the video frame into another, external memory in a rastered format. One of the three
cross-coupled FIFOs is designated for write-back, and the other two for reading 2:1
interlaced raster data. The two FIFOs utilized for the raster operation are allocated to
the alternate lines of the picture.

Abstract: A portable generator (1) includes a metal shroud (38)
surrounding at least a crankcase (21) and a cylinder block (22)
of an engine (20). The engine is directly mounted to the
shroud. The shroud forms an effective radiating element and
gives an additional heat-radiating surface to the engine,
thereby increasing the heat radiation capacity of the engine.
Heat generated from the engine while running can, therefore, be
radiated efficiently. The shroud is mounted within a sound
insulating case (2), so that the portable generator has a
double sound-insulating structure. The noise-proofing property
of the portable generator is, therefore, very high.

the storage media in that order; a second storage; a data
processing unit for presenting the data stored on the first
and second target storage media; and a controller for controlling
the changer, the drive, the data processing unit and
the second storage. Before the data processing unit starts to
present the data stored on the first and second target storage
media, the controller controls the first storage to read out
at least part of the data stored on one of the first and second
target storage media as bridging data and controls the
second storage to store the read bridging data. When the data
processing unit starts to present the data stored on the first
and second target storage media, the controller controls the
second storage to supply the bridging data to the data processing
unit during a period in which reading the data stored
on the first and second target storage media is discontinuous
because of exchange of the first target storage medium for the
second target storage medium, so as to present the data stored
on the first and second target storage media continuously.
