Abstract: A system for delivering and implanting a radially expandable endoluminal prosthesis within a body lumen (e.g., blood vessel). The system comprises a) an introducer/dilator assembly, and b) a delivery catheter/loader assembly. The introducer/dilator assembly comprises an elongate tubular introducer sheath which may be provided with a valving assembly mounted on the proximal end thereof. Such valving assembly may incorporate i) a hemostatic valve, ii) a first sealing valve and iii) a second sealing valve, positioned in series, to prevent leakage of body fluid out of the proximal end of the introducer and to permit two or more elongate members (e.g., catheters, guidewires) having differing outer diameters to be inserted through the introducer without leakage of body fluid therefrom. A dilator, which has regionalized differences in stiffness, is initially deployable within the lumen of the introducer to facilitate advancement of the introducer to its desired location within the body. Thereafter, the dilator may be removed from the introducer sheath and the delivery catheter/loader assembly may be attached to the introducer, such that the delivery catheter having the prosthesis mounted thereon may advanced through the introducer, to a desired location within the body. Thereafter, the radial expandable endoluminal prosthesis mounted on the delivery catheter is deployed and implanted by an expansion device (e.g., balloon) formed on the delivery catheter. The delivery catheter may incorporate one or more outflow apertures at specific location(s) to facilitate injection of radiographic contrast medium in a manner which will check for leakage around the endoluminal prosthesis, after the endoluminal prosthesis has been radially expanded and implanted.

Abstract: The method involves setting up a communications connection free of charge between a calling terminal (TE21) connected to a first communications network (KN1), and a called terminal, whereby a connecting request with a global phone number (IFN) free of charge, is sent as called phone number to the first communications network. The global freephone number is provided by device of a service unit (SERV) of a second communications network (KN2). The connecting request is recognized in the first communications network as a request with a global free-phone number, and a query is sent by the first communications network to the service unit of the second communications network. The service unit determines a local freephone number (LFN) from the global freephone number of the first communications network, and sends it back to the first communications network. The demanded connection is subsequently set up through the first communications network, according to the determined local freephone number.

Abstract: Composting apparatus comprises a number of composting containers (5) positioned in a chamber in which they are automatically connected to a central suction manifold (2) evacuated by compressor (4) whose output is passed through bio-filters (17,18). The system is controlled by air temperature, humidity, partial pressure and throughput signals to a central processor. Composting apparatus comprises a number of composting containers (5) positioned in a chamber in which they are automatically connected to a central suction manifold (2) evacuated by compressor (4) whose output is passed through bio-filters (17,18). Heat from the exhaust air is used, via a heat exchanger, in a heat pump. Measurements of temperature, humidity, partial pressure and air flow rate are made at the chamber and the suction line. These signals are sent to processor (15) to regulate the conditions in individual containers by throttling valves (12) and by adding moisture through sprays (16). The system aims to maintain air leaving the containers at a temperature of 42 degrees C and saturated. The throughput is regulated to match the capacity of bio-filters (17,18). The atmosphere of the chamber, from which the process air is drawn, is also regulated in terms of temperature and humidity through air conditioner (10).

Abstract: The present invention comprises a dry cleaning system and method, in which dry cleaning machinery is used in conjunction with a specific solvent which is derived from an organic/inorganic hybrid (organo silicone). In this class of organo silicones is a group known as cyclic siloxanes. Such cyclic-siloxane-based solvent allows the system to result in an environmentally friendly process which is, also, more effective in cleaning fabrics and the like than any known prior system. The siloxane composition is employed in a dry cleaning machine to carry out the method of the invention. In order to enhance the cleaning capabilities of the cyclic-siloxane-based solvent, such solvent is modified with a chemical that is selected from the group of chemicals including 2-ethylhexyl acetate, esters, alchohols, and ethers. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the steps of loading articles into a cleaning basket; agitating the articles and the modified siloxane composition in which they are immersed; removing most of the modified siloxane composition; centrifuging the articles; and removing the articles from the basket after cooling the articles.

Abstract: A moisture sensor for detecting moisture on the surface of a transparent material. The moisture sensor includes one or more emitters for producing emitter signals which are influenced by moisture on the transparent material, and one or more detectors for receiving the emitter signals. The detector produces a detector output signal which is filtered and amplified in a pre-demodulation gain and filtering circuit to remove some of the unwanted signal components including noise from ambient light and EMI. Digital Signal Processing filtering is used after the moisture signal is demodulated to a dc signal to discern small signal changes due to moisture events in the presence of large amounts of the noise created by the pre-demodulation gain circuit. The DSP filtering includes a low pass filter stage and a band pass filter stage implemented by a microcomputer using First In First Out shift registers, summing elements and division elements.
