Inventor: GRANADA JUAN F
IPC: A61K31/407
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and a method for delivery of mitomycin through an eluting biocompatible implantable medical device (99). A biocompatible drug release matrix comprises a biocompatible drug release matrix and a drug (55) incorporated into the biocompatible drug release matrix. The drug (55) has antibiotic and anti-proliferative properties and is an analogue related to the quinone-containing alkylating agents of a mitomycin family. The drug (55) is initially released from the biocompatible drug release matrix at a faster rate followed by a release at a slower rate. The drug (55) release rate maintains tissue level concentrations of the drug (55) for at least two weeks after implantation of the medical device (99). The present invention provides a coating for a vascular prosthesis that elutes the drug (55) at a controlled rate to inhibit proliferation of smooth muscle cells causing restenosis.

Abstract: A driving assist apparatus and method for a vehicle capable of guiding the vehicle at appropriate vehicle speed in accordance with the path is provided. The alarm vehicle speed (Valarm) for informing a driver of overspeed during driving assist is set lower for a changing steer region than for a fixed steer region. The lower alarm vehicle speed is set before the changing steer region is entered. Therefore, in the changing steer region, the vehicle speed can be sufficiently reduced, so that a set amount of steering can be accomplished. In the fixed steer region, the vehicle speed can be increased so as to reduce the time of travel.

Abstract: After changing the required values of controlled
variables of an inlet system and an EGR system (an air-fuel
ratio, an EGR rate, and an intake air amount) into values of a
combustion mode after switching with updating a required
combustion mode mdcb, the present invention updates a

required values of a torque correction amount qdm, the
waviness correction amount qdi, and the cylinder internal
pressure correction amount qdp for a main injection amount
command value qfinm into the values in a combustion mode after
switching. The present invention gradually changes the target
injection pressure pc, the main injection timing ainjm, the
torque correction amount qdm, the waviness correction amount
qdi, and the cylinder internal pressure correction amount qdp

Abstract: An improved disconnect structure for SFP optical
transceiver modules uses a slide 21 that travels relative
to the module housing over a limited range. The slide 21 has
operating pieces 28 which are elastically displaceable to
elastically displace a spring plate 18 of the cage in a
direction to release the locked state. The slide initially
moves relative to the module housing to deflect the spring
plate downwardly and release the locked state. When the slide
then reaches the end of its range of motion relative to the
module housing, further withdrawal of the slide pulls the
module housing along with it, removing the module form the
cage.

Abstract: A resolver detected position compensation system for a
resolver is provided that can enhance a position detection
precision by performing a further compensation on a
compensated position that was obtained from a static error
compensation. The position detection circuit 5 outputs a
compensated detected position signal in which a static error
has been compensated. The differential circuit 11
differentiates the compensated detected position signal to
obtain a rotational speed of the resolver. Based on a signal
representing the rotational speed output from the
differential circuit 11, the phase data memory means 15 and
the peak value memory means 17 send the variation in phase
and the amplitude peak value, respectively, of the dynamic
error signal to the multiplication means 19. The
multiplication means 19 calculates an estimated dynamic error
and the subtraction circuit 21 removes the estimated dynamic
error from the compensated detected position signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides an OAM tool that enables a network operator to
verify the path that an Ethernet frame traverses through bridges in a bridged
Ethernet LAN. Verification is performed using a mechanism to ping the path a
frame will traverse. An Ethernet path verification message (Eping message) is sent
in the data path, the message having a new EtherType that identifies it as a path
verification message. The method verifies the data path that frames actually take,
rather than determining the data path that frames should take as is done by prior
art methods that utilize the control plane for path determination.

Abstract: The invention describes a method, system and
network nodes for transferring already started process
information to a target radio access network node during
a relocation procedure. Currently ongoing RANAP processes
(location reporting and trace) are currently lost in the
UTRAN at a successful SRNS Relocation. If they shall continue
also after the relocation has been performed, their
initiating RANAP procedures shall thus be reinitiated
from the core network towards the target RNC after the
Relocation Resource Allocation procedure has been successfully
executed. 
     In the invention the context of the two ongoing
RANAP processes is transferred to the target RNC during
SRNS relocation via existing RNSAP and RANAP messages.
This will allow relocating of the processes on the target
side without the extra Iu signaling to reinitiate them.

Abstract: A system includes a needle for aspiring fluid. A holder supports the needle and a guard is moveable to selectively cover the needle. Initially, a cantilever tab on the guard is moved into a stressed configuration, and a distally directed force on the guard presses the tab into contact with an abutment on the holder. This prevents further distal movement of the guard. Subsequently, in response to a proximally directed force, the tab is released from the abutment, it returns to a passive, unstressed configuration, and the guard moves to expose the needle for aspiration. Thereafter, when the proximally directed force on the guard is removed, the guard is urged into a final, locked position where it covers the distal end of the needle and protects the needle.
