Title: Methods for engrafting a corporeal lumen, for implanting a graft, and for engrafting a prosthesis into a corporeal lumen
Inventor: LAZARUS HARRISON M
IPC: A61B17/11
Filed: 1993-04-29
Granted: 1995-10-12
Abstract: An intraluminal grafting system (11) includes a hollow graft (12) which has a proximal staple (16) and a distal staple (17). The system (11) includes a capsule (18) for transporting the graft (12) through the lumen and for positioning the graft (12)upstream in a lumen which may be a blood vessel or artery. A tube (26) is connected to the capsule (18) and extends to exterior the vessel for manipulation by the user. A catheter (27) is positioned within the tube (26) to extend from the cavity and through the graft (12) to exterior the body. The catheter (27) has an inflatable membrane (3)which is in communication via a channel with inflation and deflation means (38). With the inflatable membrane (30) deflated, the capsule (18) is positioned in the lumen and manipulated to desired location. The force exerted by the inflatable membrane (30) and the structure of the staples urges the staples in the vessel, retaining the graft in position. <IMAGE>

Title: Position determination using one low-earth orbit satellite
Inventor: LEVANON NADAV
IPC: H04W84/06
Filed: 1997-09-26
Granted: 2000-05-18
Abstract: A system and method for determining the position of a user terminal (for example, a mobile wireless telephone) in a low-Earth orbit satellite communications system. The system includes a user terminal, at least one satellite with a known position and velocity, and a gateway (that is, a terrestrial base station) for communicating with the user terminal through the satellites. The method includes the steps of determining a range parameter and a range-rate parameter. A range parameter represents a distance between the satellite and the user terminal. A range-rate parameter represents a relative radial velocity between that satellite and the user terminal. The position of the user terminal on the Earth's surface is then determined based on the range parameter, the range-rate parameter, and the known position and velocity of the satellite.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coin dispenser for use in vending machines for giving out change when the value of money inserted into the machine exceeds the price of the merchandise purchased. The aim of the invention is to simplify the design of such a dispenser so that different sets of coins can be catered for from a small range of parts. 
<??>The dispenser comprises vertical coin tubes (12, 13, 14), one for each denomination of coin dispensed, and respective channels (15, 16, 17) extending horizontally beneath each tube. Each channel has an aperture (21, 22, 23) in its lower wall offset from the axis of the tube, (12, 13, 14) and an apertured slide plate (24, 25, 26) is movable in the channel (15, 16, 17) from below the coin tube (12, 13, 14) to over the aperture (21, 22, 23) in the lower wall so as to dispense the coins singly from the stacks in the coin tubes. 
<??>The coin tubes extend down through apertures (18, 19, 20) in the upper wall of their respective channels so that the lower end of the tubes are the lowest point in the coin channels. With this arrangement a range of denominations of coins of differing thicknesses can be catered for by setting the lower end of the tube at a height appropriate to the thickness of the denomination of coins during assembly.
