Abstract: An angioplasty procedure wherein a balloon dilatation catheter (18) is movably positioned within an anchoring catheter (22) which in turn is located within a guiding catheter (41). Internal balloons (30) in the anchoring catheter (22) can be inflated to anchor it to the balloon dilatation catheter (18). External balloons (36) on the anchoring catheter (22) can be inflated to anchor it to the inside of the guiding catheter (41). The balloons can be selectively inflated and deflated. Other external balloons (38) on the inner end and outer surface can be inflated to secure the anchoring catheter (22) within the blood vessel (14) beyond the inner end of the guiding catheter (41). Perforations (40) appear in the anchoring catheter (22) to permit blood to flow inside and outside thereof. An angioplasty method whereby a conventional guide catheter (41) is inserted into the blood vessel (14) to a location just short of the narrowed portion of the blood vessel. The conventional guide wire (16), balloon dilatation catheter (18), and anchoring catheter (22) are then inserted through the guiding catheter (41) with the anchoring catheter (22) and balloon dilatation catheter (18) being secured together by the internal balloons (30) on the anchoring catheter (22). As the point of treatment in the blood vessel (14) is approached, the internal balloons (30) are collapsed, and the spaced external balloons (36, 38) are inflated, thus securing the anchoring catheter (22) to both the guiding catheter (41) and the interior of the blood vessel (14). The balloon dilatation catheter (18) is then extended from the anchoring catheter (22) to perform to conventional function with respect to the narrowed section of the blood vessel (14).

Abstract: Noise problems in processing small images or large-granularity images are reduced by representing hand images as rotational vectors (31) calculated using a real-valued centroid. The hand region is therefore sectored independently of pixel quantisation. Colour segmentation (3) is used to identify hand-colour regions, followed by region labelling to filter out noise regions based on region size. Principal component analysis is used to plot gesture models. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a spacer for multiple-glazed insulating glazing, comprising a base element (5), which has two parallel contact surfaces (9, 11) for the glazing panels (1, 3), and an adhesive surface (19) which is turned away from the inner space of the glazing unit and connects the two contact surfaces. The base element (5) is made of fibreglass reinforced plastic. Said spacer is characterized in that a metal foil (21) is glued against all of the adhesive surface (19), and in that by selecting the proportion of fibreglass in the plastic matter of the base element it is possible to match the coefficients of thermal expansion of the base element and the metal foil. This type of spacer ensures especially good leak tightness and lasting bonding between the plastic spacer and the metal foil, and between said metal foil and the sealant between the glazing panels.
