Abstract: This invention is an apparatus and method for delivering a treating element (22), such as a radiation source, through a catheter (60) to a desired site in a vascular system of a patient, such as a coronary artery, for inhibiting the formation of scar tissue such as may occur in restonosis following balloon angioplasty. The apparatus includes an elongate flexible catheter tube (20) having proximal and distal portions, with a lumen (202) extending therebetween, and a diameter sufficiently small for insertion into the patient's vascular system. One or more treating elements (22), such as a capsule or pellet containing radioactive material, is positionable within the lumen and movable between the proximal and distal end portions under the force of a liquid flowing through the lumen. A method for using such apparatus, including a method for using such apparatus simultaneously with a balloon angioplasty procedure, is disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing whiskers in large volumes and at low cost to be used as reinforcing material. The whiskers consist of solid solutions between two or more transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides, (Me1-X-YMe'XMe''Y..etc.)C1-ZNZ, having preferably submicron diameters. The whiskers are suitable for use as a reinforcement material in a wide range of materials, including metals, intermetallics, plastics, ceramics and metallic bonded hard material. Transition metal oxides, hydroxides or alkali compounds thereof are mixed with carbon powder. The carbon source is added in an amount to satisfy the stoichiometric requirements of the carbide or nitride. A halogenide salt is used as a volatilisation agent for the transition metals and a cataIyst such as Ni or Co that is able to dissolve transition metals plus C and/or N. The reactant powders are blended so as to intimately mix them. Finally, the mixed starting material is subjected to nitriding, carbonising or carbo-nitriding heat treatments in order to produce the desired whiskers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus and method for receiving alarms from multiple network management servers and applying a plurality of policy-based filters to the alarms. The filters may be named and stored in a database, and application of the policy-based filters may be scheduled for different times. The same policy-based filters may be applied to one or more multiple network management applications. The invention allows greater control over which alarms get reported to network management applications and provides a means to ensure consistency of reported alarms across multiple network management applications. A telephonic alarm notification method and apparatus incorporates the policy-based filters and the capability to process alarms from multiple network segment servers so that users can be accurately notified of critical alarms generated in large and complex communications networks, via a public communications system.

Abstract: Disclosed is an alkoxysilane/organic polymer composition for use in producing an insulating thin film, comprising (A) a specific alkoxysilane; (B) a specific organic polymer; and (C) a solvent for alkoxysilane (A) and organic polymer (B), wherein solvent (C) comprises at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of amide linkage-containing organic solvents and ester linkage-containing organic solvents. Also disclosed are a silica-organic polymer composits thin film which is produced by a process comprising: forming a thin film of the composition of the present invention; subjecting the thin film to a hydrolysis and dehydration-condensation reaction with respect to the alkoxysilane thereof, to thereby cause the alkoxysilane to be gelled in the thin film; and removing the solvent remaining in the thin film by drying, and a porous silica thin film which is obtained by removing the organic polymer from the silica-organic polymer composite thin film. Both of the silica-organic polymer composite thin film and the porous silica thin film have advantages not only in that these thin films have a low dielectric constant suitable for insulating layers for a multilevel interconnect for a semiconductor device, but also in that these thin films can be produced by a method which can be easily performed in the current process for producing a semiconductor device.

Abstract: An inflation device (5) for an inflatable article (such a life jacket), includes a housing (8) for holding a container of pressurised fluid (6), a displacement means (12) including a piercing means (15) displaceable so as to penetrate the container (6) and allow the release of said pressurised fluid, and actuation means (23, 27, 28, 29) having engaging co-operating elements (17, 25) which engage to retain the displacement means (12) in an unactuated configuration. The actuation means (23, 27, 28, 29) release the displacement means (12) both through the presence of water or by manual operation. The co-operating elements (17, 25) are substantially radially arranged. The line along which the displacement means (12) acts may be coaxial with the radii of the co-operating elements (17, 25). One of the co-operating elements (17) is capable of inward radial movement, and the actuation means (27, 28, 29) operates to prevent that co-operating element's (17) radially inward movement. Similarly, one of the co-operating elements (25) is capable of outward radial movement, and also prevented by the actuating means (23). When the actuation moms (23, 27, 28, 29) is triggered (by water or by the manual release), the movement of one of the co-operating elements (17, 25) causes the displacement means (12, 15) to pierce the container.
