Abstract: The end of the elongated tubular element of the appliance that is designed to
be inserted into a body cavity or vessel is formed entirely of soft, compliant
material. That end carries an inflatable balloon formed in its fully inflated shape.
The balloon is inflated to a predetermined low pressure level to prevent pressure
necrosis in the adjacent tissue. A method and apparatus for introducing the soft
end of the appliance into the body cavity are also provided. The introducer
apparatus includes rigid core surrounded by a soft, compliant sleeve. The sleeve
extends beyond the rigid core to form an invertable section. The soft end of the
appliance is situated adjacent the apparatus, the balloon is wrapped around the
apparatus, and the sleeve section is inverted over the appliance, compressing the
balloon and forming a soft, rounded insertion tip. The unit is then introduced into
the body cavity. After the appliance is separated from the apparatus, the apparatus
is withdrawn.

Abstract: A method for graphically displaying an audio frequency
component in a digital broadcast receiver. The method for
graphically displaying the audio frequency component in the
digital broadcast receiver includes the steps of: extracting a
plurality of frequency-band components associated with an audio
stream during a decoding process of the audio stream; and
generating graphic data corresponding to the extracted
frequency-band components, and displaying the graphic data on a
screen. Therefore, a frequency component of the encoded audio
stream is efficiently extracted without using an additional
device or consuming an additional power, and a user can
graphically view a frequency component of audio data on a TV
screen simultaneously with listening to the audio data.

Abstract: In a method for relative depth of parts of one or more digital images, the digital images are regularized by segmentation, and at least part of the pixels of the images are assigned to respective segments. The realtive motion of the segments for successive images is estimated by image matching. The image features of the segments are regularized by dual segmetation, in which the edges of the segments are found, pixels are assigned to the edges, and dual segments are defined. The relative motion of the dual segments for successive images is estimated by image segment matching in order to determine the relative depth order of the image segments.

Abstract: Behavioral pharmacological data with the compound of formula (I), a novel and selective 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonist, demonstrate  in vivo  efficacy in models of psychosis and dyskinesias. This includes activity in reversing MK-801 induced locomotor behaviors, suggesting that this compound may be an efficacious antipsychotic, and activity in an MPTP primate model of dyskinesias, suggesting efficacy as an anti-dyskinesia agent. These data support the hypothesis that 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonism may confer antipsychotic and anti-dyskinetic efficacy in humans, and indicate a use of the compound of formula (I) and related agents as novel therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, related human neurodegenerative diseases, and psychosis.

Abstract: Durability and/or longevity of a diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer can be improved by varying the voltage and/or ion energy used to ion beam deposit the DLC layer. For example, a relatively low voltage may be used to ion beam deposit a first portion of the DLC layer on the substrate (Figure 2A), and thereafter a second higher voltage(s) (Figure 2B) used to ion beam deposit a second higher density portion of the DLC layer over the first portion of the DLC layer. In such a manner, ion mixing at the bottom of the DLC layer can be reduced, and the longevity and/or durability of the DLC improved.

Abstract: A dual stage invention is designed to autoignite an autoignition material before a low temperature gas generant melts. Low temperature gas generants include a high nitrogen content organic fuel with ammonium nitrate as the oxidizer. The dual stage inflator has a first gas generant and a second gas generant that are ignited by separate igniters. The first gas generant and the second gas generant are insulated from the inflator housing to delay the heat transfer from the housing to the first gas generant and second gas generant during a bonfire test, which needs to be passed to receive Department of Transportation classification. The dual stage inflator also has an autoignition cartridge for disposing of the second gas generant by the first gas generant after the first gas generant burns for a predetermined amount of time.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaning machine has a cannister with an inlet port and at least two outlet ports. At least two filters are disposed inside of the cannister, one in pneumatic communication through each of the outlet ports. At least two valves are disposed outside of the cannister. Each valve is in pneumatic communication between a vacuum source and an outlet port so as to permit air to be drawn by the vacuum source from the inlet port simultaneously through the filters. A controller operates the valves to switch the filters from the vacuum source to ambient air so as to permit ambient air to be sequentially intermittently drawn through corresponding valves and filters into the cannister. Preferably, the controller includes a timing mechanism for setting the delay time of the sequential valve operation and a timing mechanism for setting the intermittent time of connection of each filter to ambient air.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for improved electrochemical measurement of analytes. The preferred embodiments employ electrode systems including an analyte-measuring electrode (16a) for measuring the analyte or the product of an enzyme reaction with the analyte and an auxiliary electrode (36) configured to generate oxygen and/or reduce electrochemical interferants. Oxygen generation by the auxiliary electrode (36) advantageously improves oxygen availability to the enzyme (38) and/or counter electrode; thereby enabling the electrochemical sensors of the preferred embodiments to function even during ischemic conditions. Interferant modification by the auxiliary electrode (36) advantageously renders them substantially non-reactive at the analyte-measuring electrode, thereby reducing or eliminating inaccuracies in the analyte signal due to electrochemical interferants.
