IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'acheminement d'un stent comprenant un cathéter pourvu d'une enveloppe externe rétractable située près de son extrémité distale. Un élément de contraction à mémoire de forme dotée d'une forme contractée mémorisée est relié à l'enveloppe externe rétractable. Un élément générateur de chaleur relié à l'élément de contraction à mémoire de forme permet à l'élément de contraction à mémoire de forme de chauffer jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne sa température de transition et prenne sa position contractée, rétractant l'enveloppe externe rétractable. Un autre mode de réalisation concerne deux ressorts, un ressort « normal » et un ressort à alliage à mémoire de forme (SMA), les deux ressorts étant sélectionnés et conçus de telle manière que le ressort « normal » a une force d'expansion inférieure à celle du ressort SMA, lorsque le ressort SMA est austénitique, mais supérieure à celle du ressort SMA, lorsque le ressort SMA est martensitique. Toutefois, un autre mode de réalisation concerne un verrou à mémoire de forme qui dans son état martensitique est attenant à un cran d'arrêt pour empêcher un ressort de déplacer l'enveloppe de manière proximale, mais dans son état austénitique dégage le cran d'arrêt, permettant au ressort de rétracter l'enveloppe pour libérer le stent en vue de son déploiement.

Abstract: A fuel tank for a motor vehicle is provided with a reservoir, which is accessible through a closable opening in the wall of the fuel tank. In order to be able to select the size of the reservoir independently of the size of the opening, the reservoir comprises at least two modules (126, 127) which can be connected to each other and which are assembled within the tank to form the reservoir. At least one module of the reservoir can already be inserted into the tank when producing the tank. Additional modules can be inserted into the finished tank through the opening in the wall of the tank. It is also possible for all modules forming the reservoir to be subsequently inserted into the tank through the opening in the wall of the tank.

Inventor: BERELSMAN TIMOTHY N
IPC: H01R13/58
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: The invention is comprised of a cable assembly having a cable, a modular plug, and a molded stress relief body. The cable includes at least one twisted wire pair of a given length and at least one outer jacket that surrounds a portion of the length of the twisted wire pair, wherein each individual wire of the twisted wire pair is comprised of a conductor wire and an outer insulator. The modular plug includes an uppermost surface and a receiving cavity to establish an electrical connection with the cable. A molded stress relief body is used to cover at least a portion of the cable and the modular plug. To reduce the amount of stress and strain encountered by and between the modular plug and the cable, the molded stress relief body is molded about, or bonded to, at least a portion of the twisted wire pair that is not surrounded by the outer jacket of the cable. Hence, the molded stress relief body provides a connection between the cable and modular plug and is firmly attached to the twisted pair so as to effectively secure or "freeze" the twisted wire pair, or pair, in place.

Abstract: A phase shifter comprises a linear actuator 20 which causes a phase shifting means connected to piston 26 to move within a waveguide 38 and thus alter the path length of a signal propagating in the waveguide. The phase-shifting means may be a reflector 34, a dielectric slab 76 (see figure 8), or a dielectric gel filled bag 86 (see figure 12). The actuator comprises a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive stator 28 which is caused to deform by application of an electric field, so that the deformation laterally squeezes out the piston 26 to the desired extent.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, des tampons en élastomère (42, 44) sont disposés radialement autour du palier principal (28) constituant le support, doté de rotation, d'une tourelle d'amarrage (22) par rapport à un navire (10). Ces tampons en élastomère agissent comme des ressorts radiaux face aux charges radiales de tourelle et permettent de compenser la déformation en ovale du navire causée par l'état de la mer. Un assemblage radial de ressorts (50) permet d'appliquer une compression radiale sur les tampons en élastomère lorsque la tourelle et le navire entreprennent un mouvement de rapprochement radial, mais empêchent qu'une tension soit appliquée sur ces tampons lorsque le navire et la tourelle entreprennent un mouvement d'éloignement radial.

Abstract: An array of storage devices may be provided in which data is both striped and mirrored across the array. Data may be organized in stripes in which each stripe is divided into a plurality of stripe units. The stripe units may be mapped sequentially to consecutive storage devices in the array for each data stripe. Each data stripe is also mirrored within the array as a mirrored data stripe. Each mirrored data stripe is also divided into a plurality of stripe units. The stripe units of the mirrored stripes are distributed throughout the array according to a mapping that provides for load balancing during a reconstruction operation. According to one embodiment, stripe units for mirrored stripes are distributed according to a rotational group such that each mirrored stripe is rotated on the array by one more position than the previous mirrored stripe and wherein the rotational group is repeated as necessary. Alternatively, the mirrored stripe units may be distributed according to other permutations to improve load balancing during reconstruction of a failed device. In other embodiments, in addition to mapping mirrored stripe units to balance read operations during reconstruction, one or more spare storage devices may be striped throughout the array to improve load balancing for write operations during reconstruction.
