Inventor: UNSWORTH JOHN
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: Tubes made from shape memory alloy (SMA) assume their original shape when heated to their austenite finish temperature by directing photo-thermal or electrical energy inside parts of the tube using an optical fiber or conductors, the remainder of the tube acting as a heat sink. Using this method of photo-thermal heating or joule heating, virtually any predetermined shape can be made from tubes, or objects having tubular paasages, in a controlled manner with very little heat being transferred to the material surrounding the outside of the tube. The optical fiber may also be used to detect the transformation of the material at the heated site from martensite to austenite and the temperature of the heated site, and use this information to control deployment of the device and reduce overheating of the tube and the material surrounding the outside of the tube.

Abstract: The synchronisation method involves receiving a synchronisation signal (SS1,SS2,SS3) for synchronising the clock generator (TG) at a transceiver station (RNT). The synchronisation signal is delayed by a variable delay time before it is used for synchronisation. The delay is accomplished by delay devices (D1,D2,D3), each of which delays a different synchronisation signal. One of a number of alternate received synchronisation signals can be selected.

Abstract: In a navigation apparatus of hybrid navigation type, navigational
parameters for a moving body such as a vehicle are detected by a self-contained
sensors, such as acceleration sensor, angular velocity sensor and
distance sensor, without relying on any informational support from the
outside, and positioning data transmitted from a plurality of artificial
satellites are received at a position of the moving body by a GPS unit and
outputted therefrom. The position calculation based on GPS data takes a
relatively long time compared to the self-contained navigational data.
Instead of performing calculations to allow for this delay by calculation, the
output data of the self-contained sensors at the same positioning time as the
GPS data are used to calculate navigational data.

Abstract: A novel data structure in a router helps to compute viable next hops for forwarding a
data packet from a router to its destination along multiple alternate loop-free paths, which are
not necessarily of shortest distance. Each viable next hop may also be specified with a degree
of optimality, which enables a route to perform QoS routing and fault-tolerant routing
efficiently. The data structure can be implemented as an add-on software to existing routing
protocols and may be implemented in existing networks which use shortest path protocols,
even where less than all of the routers use the data structure and multiple path scheme
described herein.

constituting an element of the pickup.

Abstract: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease which kills more than three million people every year. Although both a vaccine and various methods of diagnosis and treatment are available, the efficacy of these measures is in urgent need of improvement given that the number of new cases is once again on the increase. Research focuses, among other things, on the characterization of antigens secreted in the early stages of the infection as they constitute the first point of contact of the immune system with the pathogen. The 40 KD-antigen described herein is present in vivo as a hexamer and, despite its high molecular weight and lack of a signal sequence, is present extracellularly after only a few days of growth. Functionally, it is an L-alanine dehydrogenase and reacts with the monoclonal antibody HBT-10 directed against this protein. HBT-10 was the first known antibody specific to a protein of M. tuberculosis which did not cross-react with the vaccine strain M. bovis BCG.

block output will be maintained at a specified output
power level while all pump input modules share in
delivering the required total input pump power. Upon the
insertion or removal of any pump input module, the
remaining pump input modules will adjust their output
power accordingly to maintain the gain block output power
at the specified level.
