Abstract: An intravascular stent especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portions.
The stent retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The stent is formed of
intertwined meander patterns forming triangular cells. The triangular cells are
adapted to provide radial support, and also to provide longitudinal flexibility after
expansion. The triangular cells provide increased coverage of a vessel wall. The
stent can have different portions adapted to optimize radial support or to optimize
longitudinal flexibility. The stent can be adapted to prevent flaring of portions of
the stent during insertion.

Patent EP-1156422-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TOJIMA MASAYOSHI
IPC: G06F13/30
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: A high-performance DMA controller for controlling data
transfer between a main storage means holding various kinds of
data and a plurality of local storage means, comprises: an
interface for generating a control signal for the main storage
means; a data I/O unit for controlling I/O of data; a parameter
holding unit for holding various kinds of parameters that are
required for execution of data transfer; a data transfer request
receiver for receiving requests of data transfer; and a start
command receiver for receiving a start/stop command of the data
transfer controller. The data transfer request receiver receives,
from a data transfer request source, reservations of plural data
transfer requests comprising execution priority information and
local storage means type information, each information being
arbitrarily set by the data transfer request source, and holds
the local storage means type information in association with each
execution priority information. The data transfer controller
receives only the reservations of data transfer requests until a
start command is issued from a system controller and, when a
start command is issued, the data transfer controller
sequentially decodes the local storage means type information of
the reserved data transfer requests having relatively high
execution priorities, in chronological order of the data transfer
requests, and then sequentially takes parameters required for
data transfer from the parameter holding unit, according to the 
decoding result, to execute data transfer.

Abstract: A single step wet oxidation process for treating wastewaters containing organic
species, with or without heteroatoms, and anions of strong acids, e.g. sulfate or
phosphate ion, or cations of strong bases, e.g., sodium, potassium or calcium ions, and
which may contain ammonium ion and/or nitrate ion in addition to added ammonium ion
and/or nitrate ion was developed which on thermal treatment near the critical
temperature of water removes substantially all the COD and nitrogen through conversion
to water, carbon dioxide or carbonate species, nitrogen gas and small amounts of
nitrous oxide. Key to the success of the process is the balancing of all reducing species
with an equivalent amount of oxidizing species and the balancing of all strong acid
anions with strong base cations. The former ensures good removal of organic species,
ammonium ion and nitrate ion. The latter ensures maintaining the pH in the range of
from 1.5 to 8 thus avoiding severe corrosion problems and regions of pH where rate of
reaction of the oxidizing species with reducing\species is slow.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus includes a heater, an endless belt,
a pressure roller, and a heater controller. The heater has a
line shape orthogonal to a direction in which a recording
sheet carrying an unfixed toner image formed with toner in
accordance with image information is transferred. The
endless belt is rotated with an inner surface thereof sliding
over a surface of the heater. The pressure roller is
arranged at a position opposite to the heater relative to the
endless belt and is held for rotation in contact with the
endless belt under pressure to form a nip therebetween. The
heater controller energizes the heater in accordance with the
image information. When the recording sheet is brought to
the nip with the unfixed toner image facing the endless belt,
the pressure roller applies pressure to the recording sheet
against the endless belt so that the unfixed toner image is
fixed on the recording sheet with heat as the recording sheet
is transferred by movement of the endless belt and the
pressure roller.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a processing system and method
for processing photographic material. The processing system and method of the
invention is adapted to recover water from humid air for reuse in the processor, as
well as convert a liquid waste processing solution into a dry waste for disposal. In
the system and method of the present invention, heated air is circulated through
the processor and comes into contact with a cold surface (19, 43) to condense the
heated air. The water resulting from this contacting of the heated air with the cold
surface can be collected and recycled back to the processor for reuse in the
processor. Further, waste solution can be absorbed by a matting material (17)
appropriately placed in the processor which evaporates the waste solution to a
solid waste for subsequent disposal.

Abstract: An automated manufacturing control system is proposed to greatly reduce the human interaction relative to the data transfer, physical verification and process control associated with the movement of components, tooling and operators in a manufacturing system. This is achieved by the use of data carriers which are attached to the object(s) to be traced. These data carriers ( 12 ) can store all the relevant identification, material and production data required by the various elements, e.g. stations, of the manufacturing system. Various readers, integrated with controllers and application software, are located at strategic points of the production area, including production machines and storage areas, to enable automatic data transfer and physical verification that the right material is at the right place at the right time, using the right tooling.
