Abstract: The method and apparatus includes a length of hollow suture material in which an alternating plurality of radioactive seeds and intermediate spacers are located. The suture member includes a portion which extends a substantial distance beyond the first radioactive seed in the suture member. The combination of the hollow suture member, the radioactive seeds and spacers is then moved into a insertion needle through a hub end thereof, to the point where the free end of the hollow suture member extends past the tip end of the insertion needle. The suture member then is pulled through the hollow insertion needle until the first radioactive seed in the suture member is positioned at the tip end of the insertion needle. The extended portion of the hollow suture member is then severed in the vicinity of the tip end of the insertion needle. The loaded insertion needle is then inserted into the prostate of the patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to sonic steerable antennae and their use to achieve a variety of effects.  The invention comprises a method and apparatus for taking an input signal, replicating it a number of times and modifying each of the replicas before routing them to respective output transducers such that a desired sound field is created. This sound field may comprise a directed beam, focus beam or a simulated origin.  Further, "anti-sound" may be directed so as to create nulls (quiet spots) in an already existing sound field. The input signal replicas may also be modified in way which changes their amplitude or they may be filtered to provide the desired delaying. Reflective or resonant surfaces may be used to achieve a surround sound effect, a microphone may be located in front of an array of loudspeakers, beams of light may be used to identify the present focal position, a limiting device may be used to ensure that clipping or distortion is reduced when more than one input signal is output by the same device and the concept of beam directivity may be used to achieve input nulls or beams in a microphone made up of an array of input transducers. Further, sound field shaping information may be associated with an audio signal to be broadcast.

Abstract: The invention relates to recording of information, in particular a real-time audio and/or video signal, in a recording track ( 3 ) of a recording medium ( 2 ) divided into blocks ( 45 ). The recording medium contains a defect list (BS) of addresses of blocks ( 45 *) which are known to be defective. This list is read and during the recording process the defective blocks are skipped. The recording process is performed without any read-after-write check so as to speed up the process. The defect list is updated by noting, during playback, which blocks give rise to reading problems and by including the addresses of these blocks in the defect list on the recording medium.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for synthesizing high-performance linear finite state machines (LFSMs) such as linear feed-back shift registers (LFSRs) or cellular automata (CA). Given a characteristic polynomial for the circuit, the method obtains an original LFSR circuit (26) such as a type I or type II LFSR. Feedback connections within the original circuit are then determined (28). Subsequently, a number of transformations that shift the feedback connections can be applied in such a way that properties of the original circuit are preserved in a modified LFSR circuit (30). In particular, if the original circuit is represented by a primitive characteristic polynomial, the method preserved the maximum-length property of the original circuit in the modified circuit and enables the modified circuit to produce the same m-sequence as the original circuit. Through the various transformations, a modified LFSR circuit can be created that provides higher performance through shorter feedback connection lines, fewer levels of logic, and lower internal fan-out.

Abstract: A method and mechanism, operating within an application layer of the architectural model of a communications protocol, for maintaining high availability in a computer network utilizing virtual Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. A backup connection is created wherein a second network card is added to a node of a computer network. A failover mechanism operating within the application layer captures an original virtual IP configuration corresponding to a primary network connection of the node and monitors the primary network connection. Upon detecting a failure of the primary network connection, the failover mechanism halts monitoring of the primary connection, captures the current virtual IP configuration of the primary network connection, configures the second network interface with the parameters of the primary network interface, and brings up the second interface. If the current virtual IP configuration was successfully captured, it is used in the configuration of the second interface. If the current virtual IP configuration was not successfully captured, the original virtual IP configuration is used in the configuration of the second interface.

Abstract: A sufficient number of pick-and-place devices (e.g., rolls) whose periods of contact with a substrate are equal or substantially equal to one another are used to form continuous void-free uniform coatings despite the occurrence of unintended or intended coating caliper surges, depressions or voids. The wetted surfaces of the devices contact and re-contact the coating at positions on the substrate that are different from one another. Extremely uniform and extremely thin coatings can be obtained at very high rates of speed. The pick-and-place devices also facilitate drying and reduce the sensitivity of drying ovens to coating caliper surges. Equipment containing the pick-and-place devices is simple to construct, set up and operate, and can easily be adjusted to alter coating thickness and compensate for coating caliper variations.

Abstract: A channel decoder employs a hybrid frequency-time domain equalizer for effectively combining a frequency domain equalizer with a time domain equalizer to achieve superior static and dynamic multi-path performance compared to conventional decision feedback equalizers. A frequency domain equalizer structure is included within the forward path of a time domain, decision feedback equalizer, with both the frequency domain and time domain portions employing a common error vector. Updates to the taps (frequency bins) may be adapted individually, or fully within the frequency domain without altering the feedback filter. Improved performance, including performance for noisy channels with deep notches, is achieved, and the frequency domain equalizer portion is relieved from equalizing minimum phase zeros of the channel.
