Inventor: TURNLUND TODD HANSON
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 1995-06-27
Abstract: A biodegradable mesh-and-film stent for use in blood vessels is formed of a sheet of a composite mesh material formed of biodegradable high-strength polymer fibers bonded together with a second biodegradable adhesive polymer, and laminated on at least one side with a thin film of a third biodegradable polymer. The biodegradable mesh-and-film material is formed as a sheet and cut in a shape that can be used as a stent, such as a "belt-buckle" type shape, the ends of which can be joined in a contractible, expandable loop. In the method of making the biodegradable composite mesh-and-film stent, the composite mesh preferably is formed from a weave formed of high-strength biodegradable polymeric fibers, and a plurality of low-temperature melting biodegradable polymeric fibers. In an alternate embodiment, the high strength fibers are co-mingled with the low-temperature melting fibers. In another alternate embodiment, the high-strength fibers are coated with the low-temperature melting polymer. The composite mesh is covered on at least one side by a laminating film, and then is cut into the shape of the stent.

Abstract: An existing layout is modified to ensure compliance with design rules and any user-defined rules by deriving a horizontal constraint model and a vertical constraint model. For each of the vertical and horizontal orientations in turn, violations of the rules are identified. For each orientation in turn, the violations are removed in such a way that objects in the layout are moved the least amount necessary. A given object may also be inserted into an existing layout in such a way that perturbation of objects in the existing layout is minimized by exploring solutions allowing for object merger and non-merger solutions and choosing the best one based on predetermined criteria. Given a group of objects, a layout may also be created in such a way that successive objects are placed to minimize movement of objects already placed. Placement of an object in an existing layout may also be improved by removing the object and inserting it as if it were a new object a number of times until no further improvement is noted in its placement.

Abstract: To regulate the pre-stress of rotary bearing, a regulator is provided with regulator bearings (10, 11), the regulator consisting of the elastic elements (6), the inertial masses (7) and thrust rings (8, 9), which are made in one piece. The regulator is pre-stressed to produce the basic pre-stress of the spindle bearings (2, 3, 4). As the spindle (5) rotates the regulator is rotated by an annular diaphragm (12). The inertial masses (7) generate centrifugal forces which bend the elastic elements (6) and alter the pre-stress of the spindle bearings (2, 3, 4). The regulator can be located between the spindle bearings or outside the spindle.

Abstract: The head, accommodating tools or holders for them, turns in a housing in which it is lockable in different angular positions. A slide (7,8) supporting the housing works in a guide so as to move it in the Y-direction at right angles to the head axis, and is mounted on a support, particularly a cross-slide, which can be secured to the machine tool. The slide has a support plate (8) in the plane defined by the Y and Z-axes, which separate the housing from the slide-guide (5). The housing can be secured to the plate so that the axis of rotation of the head is parallel to the plate. The support (1,4,5) can have a baseplate (1) secured to the machine tool and two sidewalls (4) at right angles to it and on which the slide-guide (5) is formed. Above and clear of the base-plate is a support plate (15) parallel to it and joined to the sidewalls. This accommodates a bearing for a spindle (13) driven by an electric motor clear of it.

Abstract: This invention relates to a convection microwave oven in which in the convection cooking mode the hot air circulating in a cooking chamber forms an air curtain to prevent the flow of outside air into the chamber through a number of air-inflow holes. A hot air discharging means 100, which includes a driving motor 101 and a fan 102, is mounted on the back of the cooking chamber 54 so that in the convection cooking mode air heated by an electric heater 56 can be discharged into the cooking chamber 54. Further, said hot air discharging means 100 is arranged bias toward air-inflow holes 61 which are formed on one side wall 60 to eliminate vapor int he cooking chamber 54, whereby hot air is discharged toward the air-inflow holes 61 to make an air curtain to screen the air-inflow holes 61 in the convection cooking mode. Therefore, in the convection cooking mode, inflow of the outside air into the cooking chamber 54 can be prevented.

Abstract: A method for generating a gait of a two-legged walking robot having a body, two articulated legs each connected to the body through a hip joint and each including a thigh link, a crus link connected to the thigh link through a knee joint and a foot connected to the crus link through an ankle joint, the robot being configured to drive the articulated legs as a foreleg and hind leg such that the hind leg kicks ground to walk in a direction. In the method, a position of the robot body at a time when the hind leg has kicked the ground is estimated, and an amount of lift, in the direction of gravity, of a heel of the foot of the hind leg is determined such that the robot body will reach at least the estimated position. Then a vertical amplitude of the robot body trajectory is temporarily determined and is then corrected such that the vertical acceleration becomes a desired value, and the gait is then determined or generated based thereon. The robot locomotion is then controlled based on the generated gait.

Abstract: A telecommunication network includes a first telecommunication switch that supports subscribers coupled to the first switch and recognizes a request for call origination by a calling party on an associated communication line. The request for call origination services seeks services from a second switch. A first record in a database coupled to the second switch is located based on the identification of the calling party's line. The second switch is disposed at a hierarchical level above the first switch. A first set of predetermined features is determined based on information contained in the first record. A personal identification number of the calling party is received at the second switch. A second record in a database is located based upon the PIN; the second record is independent from the first record. A second set of predetermined features is determined based upon information contained in the second record. The set of features made available to the calling party from the second switch is determined based on a consideration of the total set of call features in the first and second sets of features.
