Title: Electrical connector contact configurations
Inventor: PEREIRA RAUL
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 2001-08-08
Abstract: A wire connecting unit for an electrical connector for communication and dat a transmission systems includes a circuit board with a free and a near end and  having four pairs of contacts mounted in a cantilever manner. The wire connecting unit has specific contact configurations that reduce crosstalk, attenuation, propagation delay, and other electrical and magnetic properties  that interfere with communication and data transmission. In one embodiment, a first row of contacts extends generally upwardly and backwardly from the fre e end of the printed circuit board toward the near end, and a second row of contacts placed futher from the free end of the printed circuit board than t he first row of contacts extends generally upwardly and backwardly from the fre e end toward the near end. Each adjacent contact can have only a single push foot that extends laterally and outwardly from its proximal end, remote from  the other contact in the respective pair, allowing the contacts to be placed  relatively close together to further reduce the electrical and magnetic properties that interfere with communication and data transmission.

Abstract: Methods, devices and compositions for fusing adjacent vertebrae, and otherwi se localizing bone growth, are provided. In one form of the invention, a method  for fusing adjacent vertebrae includes preparing a disc space for receipt of  an intervertebral disc implant in an intervertebral disc space between adjacent vertebrae, inserting the implant into the intervertebral disc space  and providing an osteoinductive composition that includes an osteoinductive factor in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier is advantageous ly substantially impermeable to efflux of the osteoinductive factor and is released as the carrier is resorbed or biodegraded. Preferred carriers inclu de a hardened, resorbable carrier, such as a calcium phosphate cement that retains at least about 50 % of the osteoinductive factors greater than about  2 days. Preferred osteoinductive factors are growth factors and include bone morphogenetic proteins and LIM mineralization proteins. In alternative forms  of the invention, the method may be performed without utilization of a load- bearing spinal implant by disposing the osteoinductive composition in the di sc space. The method is advantageously performed on lumbar vertebrae by a posterior approach. Intervertebral fusion devices and methods for their preparation are also provided.

Abstract: An open mold system provides various unique molds which are released from a plurality of staging queues and loaded onto a mold transportation circuit in relation to a particular customer order and transportation vehicle. A batch of molds are sequenced in an order in which a particular transportation vehicle is to be loaded. After each part is demolded, the molds are returned to their appropriate staging queues or storage areas. The parts are inspected and are sent to either a minor repair area, a major repair area, or directly to a trimming and packaging area. From the packaging area, the parts are moved to a relatively small shipping area where the batch of parts are already ordered to be effectively loaded directly onto the transportation vehicle. As the finished parts come off line in the batch particular to the transportation vehicle, a large shipping area and inventory area is avoided.

IPC: F16L11/16
Filed: 2002-05-23
Abstract: For use in the manufacture of reinforcement layers for flexible pipes which are capable of absorbing compressive or tensile forces, and which are used for the transport of oil and gas, a thermoplastic material is applied to a strength-imparting layer. The strength-imparting layers are reeled on reels, and following unreeling they are laminated by application of heat and in direct continuation applied to the flexible pipe. The strength-imparting layer expediently consists of a polymer which is reinforced with at least 20% by volume of fibres. The thermoplastic material is of a reversible type, i.e. it may change from being relatively soft, but non-sticky by changes in temperature. The use of the method according to the invention allows manufacture of very strong reinforcements for flexible pipes which cannot be manufactured using a solid material, such as steel, since high preforming bending forces are required in the shaping. In addition, a reinforcement element is provided which is capable of resisting instantaneous shock loads as the thermoplastic material is protective.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the workload of titrating drug to effect while leaving clinician users in control of a related procedure is described.  A drug delivery device (122) is controlled to achieve a target drug concentration at a selected site in the patient or a predetermined infusion rate waveform. The time profile of the target drug concentration or a predetermined infusion rate waveform is controlled by a drug state model (38) that uses clinical heuristics to implement safe, pre-defined changes in the target drug concentration or infusion rate and user~commanded changes in target drug concentration or infusion rate. The invention allows time to assess the response of the patient to changes in drug level by making small incremental and conservative changes in drug level over time.

Title: Method for fabricating chirped fiber bragg gratings
Inventor: UNRUH JAMES OWEN
IPC: G03F1/34
Filed: 2002-08-22
Abstract: A chirped Bragg grating is fabricated in an optical fiber by exposing the fiber to a coherent beam of light through a parallel phase mask having a series of progressively chirped segments produced on a lithography tool. The chirped phase mask is fabricated by exposing a photoresist-coated substrate to an image writing element such as an electron beam or a laser according to a set of parameters provided to the lithography tool. The parameters include a basic grating pattern for each segment, a value that defines the expansion o r contraction of the grating pattern and an axis location to which the grating pattern is to be written to the substrate. By selecting machine commands tha t implement these parameters with a minimum throughput overhead, the mask can be produced in a reduced time, and therefore with increased accuracy .
