Patent EP-0732087-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ANDERSON SCOTT C
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1996-03-14
Abstract: A sheath holds a device against a balloon catheter for delivery in the lumen of a patient. The device can be a stent and graft combination. The stent is kept properly centered over the balloon catheter by the sheath as the graft is placed in a blood vessel. The smooth outer surface of the sheath protects the vessel wall from the rough surface of the stent. A notch is formed in the end of the sheath where the free end of a strand of thread protrudes from the sheath. The sheath is removed from the graft by pulling on the free end of the strand otherwise located distally from the outer surface of the sheath. The strand cuts through and splits open the sheath as a result of the force applied on the free end of the strand. The other end of the strand is attached to a reinforced collar at the other end of the sheath. The strand does not cut through the collar. After reaching the collar, the proximal force applied on the strand now pulls the split sheath from the stent-and-graft combination without disturbing the placement of the stent over the balloon delivery catheter.

Abstract: A sealing strip for sealing between a flange (22,23) defining the door opening, such as in a motor vehicle body, and the door (24) of the opening, comprises a channel-shaped gripping part (12) for gripping the flange (22,23) and supporting a hollow tubular sealing part (14), preferably made of sponge rubber. The latter is partially compressed between the flange (22,23) and the closing door (24) so as to provide a barrier against ingress of moisture and draught. In order to provide improved blocking of acoustic energy, so as to reduce the amount of exterior noise (road noise, aerodynamic noise) transmitted into the interior of the the vehicle, the hollow tubular sealing part (14) has a partition wall (34) supporting a metal wire (30) running lengthwise along and within the hollow tube (14) and supported from the tubular side wall so as to be capable of vibrating in a transverse direction. The mass of the wire and the rigidity with which it is supported are such that the resonant frequency with which the wire (30) vibrates is less than a frequency band of acoustic energy to be attenuated, whereby the additional material tends to vibrate in opposition to, and thus attenuates, acoustic energy within that frequency band.

Abstract: A method or protocol is described for generating an Interrupt Signal for communication between a peripheral device and a host processor having either a level-sensitive or an edge-sensitive interrupt detector. After receiving an active interrupt request, and after confirming that the Chip Select signal is released, the interrupt signal is transitioned to an active level. After receiving an active Chip Select signal and multiple Clock pulses from the host as confirmation of receipt of the Interrupt Signal, the Interrupt Signal is transitioned to its inactive state. If the interrupt request is still pending, and when the Chip Select signal is released, then the Interrupt Signal is again made active. Maintaining the active level for the Interrupt Signal until the confirmation is returned from the host will activate level-sensitive detectors, while edge-sensitive detectors in the host will be activated by the multiple transitions occurring if the host does not service the interrupt request in the peripheral.

Abstract: An electrical differential protection apparatus, particularly a circuit breaker or switch having a test circuit, is disclosed. The apparatus (A) comprises a release (1) with a differential current sensing transformer (12), a relay (16) for triggering the circuit breaker cut-off mechanism (2) and a test circuit (33) for monitoring the operation of the release (1). The relay (16) comprises a fixed yoke (25) supporting a coil (29) and an armature (26) movable relative to the yoke (25). During normal operation of the apparatus (A), the armature (26) is magnetically held in engagement with the yoke (25), and when a differential current occurs, the armature (26) actuates the cut-off mechanism (2). The test circuit (33) comprises a means (34) for causing vibration of the armature (26) without triggering the mechanism (2), in order to determine its disengageability from the fixed yoke (25). The vibration is advantageously caused by applying a square-wave voltage across the terminals (29a, 29b) of the coil (29).

Abstract: A device particularly for use with a computer comprises a housing for location at least partly between two fingers of a user's hand and an electronic circuit mounted on a board within the housing. The circuit includes a switch responsive to pressure selectively to open and close an electronic circuit, and conductive elements arranged on the board mounting the electronic circuit. A first control element is mounted with the housing and responsive to finger pressure such that pressure applied to the first control element causes the element to operate the switch. The first control element is movable with respect to a hinge such that finger action acts to cause the control element to swivel as a trigger about the hinge and thereby interact with the switch. The second control element includes a flexible material mounted such that pressure applied to the flexible material in different directions and positions acts to change the electrical relationship between the conductive elements on the board and thereby vary an output signal from the electronic circuit. The rear portion of the housing includes a receptacle for receiving removable battery means for powering the electronic circuit. There is an infra-red output signal transmitted to a receiver for operating the computer. The first control element is located substantially below the second control element, and the first control element being in a bottom face of the housing.
