Inventor: HAYBALL CLIVE COLIN
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1998-05-13
Abstract: A network manager system comprises one or more network controllers in a communications network. The network management system comprises an application level which represents the functionality of a plurality of differentcomposites being hardware and/or software components of different proprietary manufacture and different function capability, and an implementation level whichimplements control of the composites. The application level is sub-divided into a plurality of application level elements each of which correspond to a function capability of a composite or system, a system being a highest level of composite. The implementation level is sub-divided into a plurality of implementation levelelements each of which represents a system, a composite or a component. The internal structure of the elements within the application controller and implementation level corresponds to internal architectures of the systems and composites. As a communications network is assembled from a plurality of different components and composites, the network management system can also be assembled using predetermined constructions of composite controllers and component controllers which correspond to specific composites or specific components within those composites.

Title: Method, and system, and base station, and mobile station
Inventor: WILHELM MICHAEL
IPC: H04K3/00
Filed: 1998-07-03
Abstract: Mobile stations like handsets could cause disturbance at electronic equipment, thereby endangering human lifes, and that's why the use of them sometimes at certain places is not allowed, for example inside planes during parts of a flight and inside hospitals. To prevent being dependent upon the user's decency, the possible use of the output of said handset could be deactivated by transmitting a deactivation signal from a base station to the handset, which deactivation signal either only deactivates said use for a predefined time-interval, or deactivates said use all the time until an activation signal originating from said base station has been received by said handset.

Title: High water content porous polymer
Inventor: CHAOUK HASSAN
IPC: C08F299/02
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to porous polymers comprising a perfluoropolyether unit, to a process for producing such porous polymers, in particular to a process for polymerising or copolymerising monomers incorporating perfluoropolyethers to form porous polymers, to articles made of or comprising porous polymers comprising a perfluoropolyether unit, such as membranes or ophthalmic devices, and to the use of porous polymers comprising perfluoropolyether units as articles, such as membranes or ophthalmic devices.      The perfluoropolyether units are preferably of formula PFPE -OCH2CF2O(CF2CF2O)x(CF2O)y CF2CH2O-    (PFPE) wherein the CF2CF2O and CF2O units may be randomly distributed or distributed as blocks throughout the chain and wherein x and y may be the same or different such that the molecular weight of the perfluorinated polyether is in the range of from 242 to 4,000.      The porous polymer is polymerized from monomers comprising macromonomers having one or more perfluoropolyether units, and using poly(alkylene)glycols as porogens during polymerization, wherein polymerization starts from a co-continuous microemulsion and displays a discrete phase during or at the end of the polymerization, the discrete phase forming an interpenetrating network throughout the mixture, and wherein the water content of the polymer, when fully equilibrated with water, is above 5 weight percent.     The process can comprise the steps of 1) dispersing a porogen in a continuous monomer component phase wherein said continuous monomer component phase comprises at least one monomer having at least one perfluoropolyether unit and wherein said porogen is an optionally substituted poly(alkylene)glycol; 2) thereafter polymerising the continuous monomer phase whereby more than 600 of the porogen is in the form of a discrete phase immediately after polymerization; and 3) removing the porogen from the porous polymer.

Inventor: LEVINSON MARK M
IPC: A61B17/11
Filed: 1998-10-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in coronary bypass surgery procedures wherein the heart remains beating rather than completely stopping the heart, where a blockage is located in the blood vessel for the heart and an incision is made in the vessel adjacent the blockage for the grafting of a vein from another location in the patient's body, and an intraluminal shunt is inserted into the blood vessel to retain the vessel open and allow blood flow through the vessel but prevent blood flow on the exterior of the shunt. The intraluminal shunt comprises a primary perfusion tube having an enlarged bulb or occluder adjacent each end of the tube to cooperate with the interior surface of the vessel, and a secondary perfusion tube intersecting the primary tube at a point either intermediate between the ends of the primary tube or at a location providing a one-third/two-thirds ratio along the primary tube. In the instance of an intermediate secondary tube, the ends of the primary tube extend beyond the bulbs to terminate in beveled end surfaces. The secondary tube is provided with a cap and the ability to interface the secondary tube with a luer type fitting and may be extended beyond the chest wall of the patient.

IPC: C09D11/00
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: A fluorescent ink that makes tagger marks and is able to be used in valve jet printers at a rate of four #10 envelopes per second. The ink also penetratespaper at a rapid rate and dries at the same time it is penetrating the paper, without degrading the print quality. The penetrating agent solvent system may be isopropyl alcohol in combination with a surfactant. The surfactant may be polyethylene glycol ethers. Polyethylene glycol ethers have a high boiling pointand low vapor pressure. The penetrating agent solvent system has a low boiling point and high vapor pressure and a low static and dynamic surface tension. This improves the inks rate of penetration into the paper and diminishes the amount of offset.
