Patent EP-1307141-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZHU YONG HUA
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2001-08-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for closing a vascular wound includes a guidewire and/or other surgical implement extending from the wound. A hemostatic material is advanced over the surgical implement and into contact with an area of the blood vessel surrounding the wound. The surgical implement is removed. Blood soaks the hemostatic material, and blood clotting is facilitated by the hemostatic agent within the material. A sealing layer of adhesive can be applied to the hemostatic material, confining the blood flow to the material. The vascular puncture wound is sealed by natural blood clot formation.

Abstract: A motor bracket (20) is installed in a concave portion (7)
formed in a front bulkhead (3) of a vehicle and onto an
upper surface of which a wiper motor unit (19) is fixed.
The bracket (20) is fixed to a front wall surface (3b) of
the front bulkhead (3) and is operable to deform or
fracture based upon an impact to the front wall surface
(3b) during a collision. In addition, the wiper motor unit
(19) is positioned at a higher position than that of upper
end surfaces of strut towers (10) so that the concave
portion (7) can be crashed and deformed without
interference from the wiper motor (19) even if the strut
towers (10) are moved backwardly at the time of a frontal
crash of the vehicle to push the front wall surface (3b)
of the front bulkhead (3). As a result, the impact energy
generated by a frontal crash can be absorbed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to capacity management, and more particularly
to capacity management on devices which have limited storage capacity. Until
recently, however, storage has not been a problem for such portable
communication devices since generally the only information stored thereon
has been names, addresses and the like. Such data does not require vast
amounts of storage and generally easily fits in the storage capacity provided
in such devices. Advances in radiotelephone technology, for example, being
able to access the Internet, however, puts increasing demands on the limited
storage capacity available, especially as there is increasing desire to
download application files for use on such devices. The present invention
aims to overcome the above mentioned problems.

local information using a frequency outside the communication frequency bands for data
signals. In the subscriber's media converter (10), based on input local information, a
control section (19) sets a transmission frequency outside the communication frequency
bands and outputs a signal instructing that a transmission be made. A media independent
interface section (12) receives this signal and transmits the signal in the instructed
frequency. In the station media converter (30), a media independent interface section (32)
detects the frequency in which the local information is transmitted from the received signal.
A control section (37) then generates local information using the detected frequency and
outputs it to an SNMP unit (40).
