Abstract: The device of the present invention comprises a bifurcated graft fabricated from expanded PTFE (ePTFE). The inventive device is double walled so that following insertion into an aneurysm, fluid can be injected between the walls to expand the device thereby opening the inner tubular graft for receiving blood flow and locking the device into place in the aorta. The injected fluid may polymerize so that the device is permanently held in its expanded form. One embodiment of the device is fabricated with pockets or channels. After the device is delivered and expanded additional stiffening struts can be inserted into these pockets. In this way the basic device can be furled and tightly compressed for delivery (something not possible with a stent containing device). After the device is expanded, a stent-like structure can be inserted endovascularly giving the strength and resiliency of a stent-containing prosthesis.

Abstract: An epidural needle is provided with a curved distal end to facilitate placement of a catheter into the epidural space of a spine. The distal end is further characterized by a primary bevel aligned to the longitudinal axis of the epidural needle at an angle of approximately 10°. A secondary bevel also is provided at the extreme distal end of the needle. The secondary bevel is aligned to the longitudinal axis of the needle at an angle of between 60°-80°. The curve, the primary bevel and the secondary bevel all are symmetrical about common plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the needle. The secondary bevel aligned at an angle of 60°-80° to the longitudinal axis provides a sufficiently sharp point to penetrate easily into the epidural space, but provides sufficient blunting to avoid inadvertent damage to the dura matter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une antenne perfectionnée, conçue pour un microdispositif implantable (12), tel qu'un microstimulateur ou microcapteur, et comprenant une antenne cadre (13) formée sur le boîtier du microdispositif. Cette antenne reçoit des données émises à partir d'un dispositif extérieur (14) et émet des données en direction d'un dispositif extérieur. Une telle antenne peut être formée sur le boîtier du microdispositif, à partir de deux sections cylindriques (20A, 20B), séparées par un matériau isolant, ou par séparation d'un cylindre métallique en deux demi-cylindres parallèles (28A, 28B), séparés par un matériau isolant. Un circuit de résonance (26A) comprenant des condensateurs et/ou des varactors, sert à obtenir une résonance dans l'antenne cadre, créant ainsi une ouverture d'antenne efficace et suffisamment large. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les électrodes (32, 34) du microdispositif sont modifiées pour à la fois exécuter leur première fonction de stimulation tissulaire, et exécuter une seconde fonction, en tant qu'éléments rayonnants d'une antenne cadre.

Abstract: There are different types of DVD systems, e.g. the replay-only DVD-Video system and the re-recordable DVD-VR system. A DVD-VR type disc containing a DVD-VR type bitstream is to be replayed on a DVD-VR type recorder or player. However, it is also possible to record a DVD-Video type bitstream on a DVD-VR type disc in a DVD-VR type recorder, for replay of that disc in a DVD-Video type player. Because the DVD-VR and DVD-Video formats are different and contain different content they are not compatible with each other and a disc containing a bitstream of the one type can not be replayed on a player of the other type, a user must make a choice of which type of bitstream recording on a disc. One solution to this problem would be to record a separate disc for each type of bitstream. According to the invention a special type of bitstream is assembled and recorded on a disc that can be replayed on both types of players. This special type of bitstream is compatible with the DVD-Video system as well as the DVD-VR system. For both systems, corresponding additional files are added to their specific directories, but the resulting bitstream for both system types represents the same identical file on the disc. A disc containing a bitstream having such data structure can be replayed on both, DVD-VR and DVD-Video players.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une structure d'électrodes d'arc de production de nanostructure de carbone, se composant d'une première électrode et de plusieurs secondes électrodes réparties dans une chambre. Les électrodes sont connectées à un potentiel permettant de produire une région de plasma d'arc. La première électrode présente une face en pente pourvue d'une pluralité de trous rentrant permettant de retenir un catalyseur. La face en pente de la première électrode, et le positionnement de la pluralité des secondes électrodes permet de commander le sens et la région de formation du plasma d'arc. En outre, la première électrode présente un alésage central qui peut être soit aveugle, soit traversant. L'alésage aveugle permet de recueillir les dépôts gênants qui glissent de la face en pente de la première électrode. Les alésages traversants, qui permettent de retirer de la chambre la suie et les nanostructures de carbone, permettent notamment l'introduction d'une vapeur organique dans la chambre. Lorsqu'on utilise l'alésage traversant pour l'introduction de vapeur organique dans la chambre, la vapeur est envoyée à traverser la région de formation du plasma d'arc de façon que les nanostructures de carbone se forment par dépôt chimique en phase vapeur, plutôt que par séparation des électrodes de carbone.
