Title: Variable length ureteral stent
Inventor: GODSHALL DOUGLAS E
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: A variable length ureteral stent assembly (10). A central catheter tube (11) forms a ureter stent with a retention structure (16, 17) for anchoring the stent in the ureter particularly within the bladder and kidney.  The catheter tube is formed of a shape memory material and at least one of the retention structures includes an end portion of the catheter wrapped spirally into a multiple-turn planar coil having an axis that is transverse to the plane of the structure. The retention structure can then be partially unwound while still providing an anchoring function. Partially unwinding increases the length of an intermediate section of the ureteral stent.

Abstract: A pre-registration system for a printing press may be provided with a  first  detector  for detecting an angular position of a first rotatable printing cylinder by sensing when a reference mark disposed on the first printing cylinder is in a predetermined  angular position,  a  second  detector  for detecting an angular position of a second printing cylinder by sensing when a reference mark of the second printing cylinder is in a predetermined angular position,  and an adjustment mechanism for automatically adjusting the angular position of one of the printing cylinders based on the circumference, a web distance,  and the angular position of one of the printing cylinders.  The adjustment mechanism may adjust the angular position based upon a stored phase data relating to the web distance and the circumference.  Alternatively, the adjustment mechanism may determine a target angular position for the one printing cylinder, determine a phase correction signal based upon the angular position of the one printing cylinder and the target angular position, and adjust the angular position of the printing cylinder based upon the phase correction signal.

Abstract: A fault indicator for use in conjunction with a load-break elbow connector includes a resilient mounting collar which wraps around the body of the fault indicator at a location overlying the arc-suppressing non-conductive margin between the electrically conductive sheath and the connecting end of the connector.  An electrically conductive layer on the inside surface of the collar capacitively couples the circuitry of the fault indicator to the conductor within the connector to provide operating power to the fault indicator.  A ground connection is provided by a second conductive layer on the collar which contacts the grounded connector sheath, or by a spring contact which extends from the fault indicator to the sheath.  A voltage indicator is also disclosed using the same collar and capacitive coupling to the monitored conductor.

Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: Le dispositif d'absorption d'humidité a tamis moléculaire pour appareil électrique à gaz diélectrique comprend un boîtier (4) dans lequel est placé le tamis moléculaire (5). Ce boîtier est fermé par une plaque (7) munie d'une valve(8) par laquelle on fait le vide à l'intérieur du boîtier. Cette plaque est tenue en place sur un épaulement (6) du boîtier par le jeu d'une différence de pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du boîtier après avoir fait le vide à l'intérieur du boîtier. Un joint (9) est placé entre la plaque et l'épaulement pour assurer l'étanchéité du volume intérieur du boîtier. Ce dispositif peut être stocké indépendamment de l'appareil. Quand il est monté sur l'appareil, la mise sous vide de l'enveloppe de l'appareil provoque la séparation de la plaque et du boîtier et donc un contact entre le tamis moléculaire et le volume intérieur de l'enveloppe à traiter.

Title: Loadbreak connector assembly which prevents switching flashover
Inventor: STEPNIAK FRANK M
IPC: H01R13/53
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: Loadbreak connectors which are modified to reduce the probability of flashover upon disassembly operation of a loadbreak bushing insert from a power cable elbow connector. The loadbreak bushing insert and power cable elbow connector are mated with an interference fit between an elbow cuff and a transition shoulder portion of the loadbreak bushing insert. The bushing insert is provided with vents to vent a cavity formed between the elbow cuff and the transition shoulderportion of the bushing insert with ambient air to avoid a decrease in pressure within the connection region and avoid a decrease in the dialectric strength of the air therein thus preventing flashover. Alternatively, the power cable elbow includes an insulative layer covering a portion of the probe to increase the distance between the energized electrode and ground. Another structure which increases the distance from the energized electrode to ground includes an insulative material covering an upper portion of the bushing insert receiving opening within the conductive insert portion of the power cable elbow connector.

Abstract: Elément de guidage (10) pour alésoirs utilisés dans la pose de pièces à stabilisation postérieure ou à contrainte. Cet élément permet au chirurgien de préparer l'extrémité distale du fémur d'un patient en vue de la pose d'une pièce fémorale du type à stabilisation postérieure ou à contrainte. Ledit élément (10) présente une ouverture (19) dont les dimensions sont égales à la plus grande dimension antéropostérieure du corps de la pièce. Par exemple, un corps contraint a une dimension antéropostérieure plus longue que celle d'un corps à stabilisation postérieure. Cet appareil constitue un appareil perfectionné assurant le guidage d'un alésoir tout en s'adaptant aux différentes dimensions des corps et aux variations correspondantes de la quantité d'os qu'il est nécessaire d'enlever. Ledit appareil comporte un élément de guidage (19) apte à accueillir soit une douille à stabilisation postérieure (20) soit une douille contrainte (21). Chacune des douilles accueille un alésoir rotatif (22) ou un ciseau à profil carré. Lors de l'intervention chirurgicale, on utilise l'alésoir d'abord pour former une découpe de forme cylindrique ou ovale. Ensuite, on utilise ledit ciseau pour enlever des parties supplémentaires de l'os pour former une ouverture rectangulaire ou carrée. Ainsi, on n'enlève que la quantité d'os nécessaire en fonction du corps choisi par le chirurgien.

Title: Mechanism for network routing
Inventor: SOUKUP JIRI
IPC: H04L12/755
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in the manner in which data is routed through a data network. Specifically, an improved method for updating the status of nodes and thereby determining an optimal data route in a network is defined, where a cost is associated with each node, optimal routes are already known and there are only one or a few links which change. The method of determining the optimum path between a source node and all destination nodes comprises: assigning an infinite cost to nodes whose optimal path runs through a disconnected link or through a link whose cost has increased; and starting an expansion process with any of: (i) the nodes which are neighbors with those that have an infinite cost; (ii) the starting nodes of links whose cost has either increased or decreased; and (iii) the starting nodes of new links. In this way a new set of optimum paths to the source node is determined.

IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 1999-01-06
Abstract: An optical fiber filter is produced which has a sinusoidal response or a modulated sinusoidal response with any desired amplitude and wavelength period. This is achieved by first producing an elongated adiabatic taper in a single-mode fiber which has been stripped of its protective jacket. Then, on the slope of this adiabatic taper, at each end of the central zone, there is formed a non-adiabatic taper such as to obtain a predetermined sinusoidal or modulated sinusoidal response in the filter.
