Patent EP-0621017-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KHOSRAVI FARHAD
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 1994-04-25
Abstract: An intravascular stent comprising a cylindrical sheet having overlapping edges that interlock. The edges have a series of protrusions and apertures (33) that interlock and ratchet as the stent expands to an open position to support a section of arterial wall. The stent may be expanded by a balloon catheter or it may be self-expanding. The stent is biocompatible, may be bio-erodible, and capable of localized drug delivery. 
     A plurality of retaining members to keep the stent open are disclosed. In one embodiment a buckle (20) fastening member is used, while in another embodiment a helical seam containing projections (25) is employed. The stent may be wound in such a manner that during expansion of the stent, one side of the sheet comprising the stent desires to return to its original shape, creating a bias. In addition, a variety of reticulated structure stents are disclosed, with novel geometric patterns that aid in increased flexibility while preserving radial strength and which also allow blood-tissue interaction and side branch access. 
     The intravascular stent may be made of a sheet of material strengthened and stiffened by pyrolytic carbon or by structural reinforcement as in composite laminates.

Abstract: Two sections (16,18) of a binary optical element are perpendicularly or vertically offset relative to each other to induce a shift in phase from light beams (18,26) transmitted through the sections. An offset (d offset ) of λ/2(n-1 ) will cause a Π shift in the phase between beams transmitted through the two sections of the binary optical element. An offset of λ/4(n-1) will cause a Π/2 shift in the phase between beams transmitted through the two sections of the binary optical element. The phase shift plate may be used for beam shaping.

Date Jul. 7, 1994Anodized aluminum surfaces are electrolytically colored using alternating current in a process in which two different coloring baths are sequentially employed. One bath contains copper(II) ions and an additive which improves throwing power thereby providing uniform distribution of the depth of color. The other bath contains tin(II) ions, silver ions, or both tin(II) and silver ions. If tin(II) ions are included, additives which stabilize tin(II) ions and improve throwing power are also included. Either bath may be used first. The use of two separate coloring baths provides colored aluminum surfaces which have excellent resistance to corrosion. Workpieces with reddish-gold hues and darker tones can be produced.

Title: Digital beamformer having multi-phase parallel processing
Inventor: KIM JIN
IPC: G01S7/523
Filed: 1994-03-16
Abstract: In accordance with the principles of the present invention, advantage is taken by the inventors of the fact that the speed of operation of the digital hardware in a digital beamformer having a plurality of parallel receiving channels can be reduced by providing multiple phases for the data signals supplied by each receiving channel and then processing the multi-phase data in N parallel summing paths. An interpolation-decimation filter receives the multi-phase data from the N parallel summing phaths and provides at its output a signal having a reduced data rate (1/N). In accordance with this technique, the speed of operation of the individual digital circuits for forming the required beamforming delays are not increased as compared to conventional post-beamforming interpolation schemes, so that hereby the effective data rate is increased by a factor N and the delay quantization error is reduced by a factor N.

Die schlitzförmige Öffnung der Absaugkammer ist derart ausgebildet, daß jede Öffnung der Filterfläche unabhängig von ihrer radialen Lage etwa in der gleichen Zeitdauer von der schlitzförmigen Öffnung überstrichen wird. Somit ergibt sich ein gleichmäßiger Reinigungsvorgang der Filterfläche durch den Rückspülkopf.

Abstract: The present invention makes available a method for inducing neuronal differentiation and preventing the death or degeneration of neuronal cells both in vitro and in vivo. The subject method stems from the unexpected finding that, contrary to traditional understanding of neural induction, the default fate of ectodermal tissue is neuronal rather than mesodermal and/or epidermal. In particular, it has been discovered that preventing or antagonizing a signaling pathway in a cell for a growth factor of the TGF-beta family can result in neuronal differentiation of that cell.

Abstract: In an apparatus for, and a method of, encoding signals according to the present invention, a normalization coefficient for normalizing a first signal is set into a smaller interval then that of a normalization coefficient for normalizing a second signal. In other words, accuracy of the normalization coefficient at the time of normalization of a tone component is set to a higher level than that of the normalization coefficient at the time of normalization of a noise component. Accordingly, the present invention provides an efficient method of encoding. In other words, the present invention improves the accuracy of encoding of the tone component while restricting the number of bits necessary for encoding the noise component, thus improving the encoding efficiency as a whole. In the recording medium of the present invention, since signals efficiently encoded by the signal encoding apparatus or method of the present invention are recorded, a recording capacity can be effectively utilized. Further, because the signal decoder of the present invention decodes the signals encoded by the signal encoding apparatus or method of the present invention, signal error during decoding can be reduced.
