Abstract: An expandable prosthetic device and method of delivery that allows the initial placement of multiple guidewires into selected target sites. The prosthesis includes a main body device. This main body device has a separate side branch guidewire lumen that passes through the main body device and through a side opening in the main body device. As the main body device is advanced, the side opening is self guided (by the side branch guidewire) and self-aligns to the side branch vessel ostium. The main body device is then deployed, leaving the side branch guidewire in place. A side branch device is then advanced along the side branch guidewire through the main body device, through the side wall opening and into the native side branch vessel. The side branch device can then be deployed to engage the main body device and the native side branch vessel.

Abstract: Methods of data streaming from an encoder to a decoder through a connection subjected to time-varying conditions are disclosed. The connection is assigned a nominal flow rate and an encoding coefficient associated with the connection modifies the nominal flow rate to determine a permissible flow rate compatible with a time- varying state of the connection. Multiple performance characteristics are associated with the connection and corresponding sets of performance measurements taken over adaptively selected time windows are acquired. Performance metrics having one-to- one correspondence to the performance characteristics are determined and compared with lower bounds and upper bounds of respective predefined acceptance intervals. A current encoding coefficient is computed as a function of the performance metrics and used to determine the permissible flow rate. A configuration of the encoder is adapted to produce an encoded signal which maximizes signal fidelity under the constraint of the permissible flow rate.

Abstract: The present invention with regard to a method for separating metal-containing fractions from slag comprising the successive steps of: Supplying the slag; processing the slag into fractions; pre-separating the fractions with a magnetic separator where substantially all iron-containing fractions are separated; and separating non-ferrous metal-containing fractions by using an eddy current separator. Characteristic for the method according to the invention is that the slag is dry when the slag is processed to obtain fractions. It is, furthermore, characteristic for the method according to the invention that the fractions have a size of at most 5 mm with regard to the pre-separation and separation of non-ferrous metal-containing fractions. Advantageously fine dust fractions with a dimension of at most 1 mm are separated from the stream of fractions with a size of 5 mm or less, preferably in the step where iron-containing fractions are separated.

Abstract: A mesotube apparatus (100) is disclosed which includes a header insulator in order to avoid premature breakdown at lower voltage that occurs between a cathode (140) and an anode (145) in a discharge assembly. A chamber (155) can be mounted on a header base (150) and can be located away from plasma surrounded with dielectric so that breakdown occurs outside the normal voltage operating range. A number of feed-through pins (120a,b,c) associated with the header base can be electrically isolated from the header base by a dielectric insulator. The dielectric insulator can also be placed over the header base and topside of the chamber in order to passivate from stray electrons and plasma. The header base can be thin which allows welding of the anode and the cathode to the feed-through pins with a weld tool attached to the side of the feed-through pins. The chamber can be located on the header base by tightly fitting to the feed-through pins.

Abstract: A saddle riding type vehicle includes a balancer beam rotatably mounted on a vehicle body to cause a right wheel and a left wheel to move up and down in opposite directions, and is capable of making turns by leaning the vehicle body. The saddle riding type vehicle also includes a headlight, a drive mechanism arranged to rotate the headlight, a front detector arranged to detect a rotation angle of the balancer beam relative to the vehicle body, and a controller programmed to control the drive mechanism based on a result of detection by the front detector. The rotation angle detected by the front detector corresponds to an angle of the vehicle body leaning sideways relative to a traveling surface (relative lean angle). The controller controls the drive mechanism based on such result of detection by the front detector. The headlight can therefore illuminate directions of movement properly.
