Abstract: The disclosure relates to a stent and method for manufacturing a stent (21) comprising an expandable, generally tubular body portion in which one or both ends (22, 23) of the stent are provided with a generally rounded, smooth radiused portion that forms a bulbous protrusion (20) out of the plane of the circumference of the stent. The design of the stent increases the profile of the end of the stent and decreases the risk of injury or vessel dissection during stent deployment.

Abstract: The panel consists of two or more panes of glass (1, 2) sealed hermetically round their edges by a spacer in the shape of a frame, and with the gap between the panes filled with a hydrogel material containing a water-soluble salt. The spacer frame between the glass panes is made from a fire-resistant material with a thermal conductivity coefficient of less than 2 kcal/mhK. The spacer frame is made, for example, from bars or shaped sections of a ceramic material, or strips (3, 4) of silicate glass. Two opposite strips have diagonally-opposed apertures (10) for filling or connecting to the outside atmosphere, and the edges of the strips in contact with the glass panes are coated with an adhesive, e.g. a butyl adhesive.

Abstract: A power transmission system, particularly a
hydrostatic-mechanical power transmission system for
industrial and farming vehicles and the like, comprising a
first train (4,5,6) of constantly meshed gears which are
adapted to selectively connect, through a first pair of
clutch units (15,17), the prime mover (2) (of the vehicle)
to a hydrostatic pump (12) and/or to a hydrostatic motor
(14); and a second train (8,9,10) of gears which are adapted
to selectively connect, through a second pair of clutch
units (16,18), the hydrostatic motor (14) or the pump (12)
to the output shaft (11), thus providing a hydrostatic
continuously variable transmission (CVT) known in the art as
I 2 . A mechanical transmission (19) with two or more speed
ratios is provided downstream of the hydrostatic
transmission (1) and, in addition to duplicating the speed
interval of the hydrostatic unit several times, it allows to
provide, one or more times, two purely mechanical speed
ranges by alternately closing one of the first pair of
clutch units (17,18) and the contiguous clutch unit (15) of
the second pair (15,16) and then closing the other two. When
the second clutch unit (16) of the first pair is also closed
under mechanical power transmission, a hydrostatic braking
condition is produced which can be modulated by adjusting
the displacements of the hydrostatic pump (12) and of the
hydrostatic motor (14), which are rotated simultaneously.

Abstract: The method includes allocating the components of a mono-signal (MS) to multichannel sound signal (OUT 1,2) channels. The mono-signal spectrum is filtered and frequency weighted and an echo is generated such that the channel receive first different signals. Prior to the filtering (P51-N) the mono-signal spectrum is divided into several second, different signals, such as different frequency bands (H1(Z)-HN(Z)). The filtering, weighting and echo generation is carried out separately for each of the second different signals. First different output signals of the multichannel sound signal are formed from the output signals for each second different signal by combination.

Abstract: The method provides location dependent registration of a mobile terminal via an air interface. A general user identification is allocated to the terminal and a user identification suitable for the communication network is associated with the terminal. The terminal selectively transmits its general or temporary user identification to the base station. The base station periodically transmits a radio station code, which is compared with subscription data stored in the terminal to determine the access authorisation of the terminal. The user identification of the terminal is compared with subscription data stored in the communication network to determine the access authorisation of the terminal on the network. In the terminal it is determined whether the base station operates on the basis of a digital mobile radio standard e.g. GSM or DCS1800. The terminal only carries out a location dependent registration using the temporary user identification when the base station operates according to such a standard.

IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: A print data processing pipeline (15) for use in a color
electrophotographic printer (16) optimizes print quality and minimizes memory
usage by separately processing lossy and lossless print data. Lossy print data
may include print data for images and lossless print data may include print data
for text, line art, and graphics. Partitioning print data into lossy and lossless
components allows application of the print data compression operations
optimized for each type of print data. High compression ratios can be achieved
on lossy print data by applying visually lossless compression operations designed
for the lossy print data. In addition, high compression ratios can be achieved on
the lossless print data by applying lossless compression operations designed for
the lossless print data. A merge unit (128) combines the lossy and lossless print
data streams after decompression to reconstruct the original image. Placement
of the color space conversion operation (12) and the halftone operation (14)
relative to the merge operation (13), further optimizes the print quality while
minimizing memory usage. The print data processing pipeline includes a direct
memory access controller (122) which has the capability to allow print data to
be selectively directed to the lossy (126) or lossless (127)
compressor/decompressor, the color space converter (125), or the merge unit
(128). Feedback paths within the print data processing pipeline (15) allow the
results of the various operations performed to be returned to the direct memory
access controller (122) for further processing or storage in system memory (2,
6). Bypass paths in the color space converter (125) and halftone unit (130)
allow print data to be selectively directed around these operations. These
capabilities allow configuration of the print data processing pipeline (15) to
perform a multitude of permutations of print data processing operations optimized
for the print data.
