Abstract: An implantable catheter comprises a flexible elongated catheter body having an inflatable balloon positioned near its distal end. At least one distal delivery port is located distal of the balloon and at least one proximal delivery port is located proximal of the balloon. The balloon and the distal and proximal delivery ports are connected in fluid communication with individual lumens. The lumen connected to the balloon is connected to a balloon inflation port at the proximal end of the catheter. The lumens connected to the distal and proximal delivery ports are connected to distal and proximal injection ports. Preferably, the balloon inflation port and the distal and proximal injection ports are all built into an integrated port assembly adapted for implantation under the skin of a medical patient. In use, the distal end of the catheter is inserted and fed into a passageway such as a blood vessel until the balloon and delivery ports lie within a region of interest. The port assembly is then implanted under the patient's skin. Once in place, the balloon can be inflated to occlude the flow of fluid through the passageway, and therapeutic agents can be delivered either distal or proximal of the balloon by injection into the appropriate injection port. It is believed that the catheter is particularly suited to the delivery of hepatocytes and an anticoagulant during a course of cell therapy directed to a patient's liver.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving, in an infeed section, a stream of distributed items deposited in rows of like position. A slide mechanism is is selectively movable between a slide position and a flip position. In the slide position, the item drops off the edge of the belt and slides across the primary slide surface and onto a second slide mechanism having a secondary slide surface that is positioned to be in substantially the same plane as the primary slide surface. The slide mechanism is moved into the flip position for every other row of items. The items to be flipped come off the conveyor belt and come into contact with an abutting surface. This surface changes the direction of the item as it moves towards the transport mechanism in conjunction with a reverse slide surface of the second slide mechanism. The item slides down the reverse slide surface on its top surface, thus flipping over approximately 180 DEG  from its orientation on the infeed conveyor belt. A first row of items fed from the infeed conveyor is flipped and is subsequently held on the transport mechanism by a gate while a second row of items is allowed to slide directly onto the transport mechanism at a position in front of the first row. A plurality of rows can be conveyed by the transport mechanism to the filling and capping stations of an automatic sandwich making system, with alternate rows oriented with their bottom surfaces facing upwards from the surface of the transport mechanism at a high speed while allowing the items adequate settling time during transfer.

Abstract: In a SCSI subsystem having mixed wide and narrow SCSI devices installed, a method and apparatus is provided for detecting a narrow SCSI device illegally installed at a slot assigned to a wide SCSI device. To detect the narrow SCSI device installed at an illegal location, high ID and low ID SCSI bus address pairs are set as test pairs for the SCSI subsystem. The low ID is the alias of the high ID if a narrow SCSI device is installed at the high ID slot. To detect a conflict with a controller ID, a non-responsive ID bus address corresponding to a slot known to be unused is called. A response to this call indicates a narrow SCSI device is installed at the high ID of the test pair and the narrow SCSI device at the high ID has configured to an alias bus address matching the controller ID. To detect a present conflict between SCSI devices, the low ID bus address in the test pair is called. A conflict in responses indicates a SCSI device is installed at the low ID and a narrow SCSI device is installed at the high ID of the test pair. To detect a future conflict between a narrow SCSI device at a high ID and a SCSI device installed in the future at an unused low ID, both the low ID and the high ID are called. No response to the high ID call in combination with a response to the low ID call indicates a narrow SCSI device is installed at the high ID and the narrow SCSI device would conflict in the future with a SCSI device subsequently installed at the unused low ID. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tool (1) for spreading adhesive over a substrate has a blade edge (4) with a set of spaced large indentations (5) and at least one set of spaced smaller indentations (6) extending into the blade edge. The smaller indentations extend into the blade less than any one of the large indentations and are interspaced between the large indentations. The blade edge is slid over the substrate to which adhesive has been applied and the adhesive is spread such that the large indentations form large ridges (20) of adhesive projecting from the substrate. The smaller indentations form smaller ridges (21) of adhesive projecting from the substrate and the smaller ridges (21) are interspaced between the large ridges (20). When a tile (23) is pressed into the adhesive the larger ridges (20) are compressed first, thereby broadening the ridge and pushing adjacent ridges into the smaller ridges (21). In this any void between ridges is more readily filled and a more uniform spread of keyed in adhesive is achieved.

Abstract: A method for the starting and steady-state supply of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, particularly for driving a centrifugal hydraulic pump. The method comprises three successive steps: a first learning step, a second starting step, and a third steady-state step. During the first step, the rotor is turned through two angles of 180 mechanical degrees in the same direction, storing the parameters of the rotor and particularly determining the initial current and the mechanical zero point of the rotor. During the second step, by generating with a power supply (inverter) a practically sinusoidal current waveform, the rotor is started with a higher current than the starting current and with a low frequency which gradually increases, waiting for the rotor at its transit through 80, 100, 260 and 280 mechanical degrees. Once the intended steady-state speed has been reached, a practically sinusoidal current is applied and the rotor is waited for at transit through the zero points. The position of the rotor is checked with a linear magnetic position sensor.

Abstract: Novel, highly effective catalyst compositions are described in which a low cost co-catalyst can be employed at very low aluminum loadings. Such compounds are composed of a cation derived from d-block or f-block metal compound, such as a metallocene, by loss of a leaving group, and an aluminoxate anion derived by transfer of a proton from a stable or metastable hydroxyaluminoxane to such leaving group. These catalyst compositions have extememly high catalytic activity and typically have high solubility in paraffinic solvents. Moreover they yield reduced levels of ash and result in improved clarity in polymers formed from such catalysts.
