IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: The current invention comprises an approach to solving the clinical problem of restenosis, which involves the administration of combinations of drugs to patients undergoing PTCA or stent implantation. In one embodiment of the invention, an antiproliferative agent such as rapamycin, vincristine or taxol is administered in combination with the anti-inflammatory agent, dexamethasone, to patients systemically, either subcutaneously or intravenously. In another embodiment of the invention, the antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory agents are bound in a single formulation to the surface of a stent by means of incorporation within either a biodegradeable or biostable polymeric coating. Alternatively, such drug combinations could be incorporated into a stent constructed with a grooved reservoir.

Title: Systeme de detecteur pour acces sans cle
Inventor: NEVEUX ANTOINE
IPC: E05B81/54
Filed: 2001-06-29
Abstract: Le système de détecteur pour accès sans clé de cette invention est destiné à être utilisé avec un mécanisme de commande d'accès sans clé destiné à commander le fonctionnement d'un dispositif de verrouillage. Ce mécanisme reçoit d'un détecteur un signal d'accès sans clé de façon à générer un premier signal de sortie avant que l'utilisateur ne commence à actionner la poignée pour ouvrir la porte. Le premier signal de sortie est envoyé à un processeur général qui déclenche un processus de reconnaissance et, après reconnaissance de l'utilisateur autorisé, le processeur génère un signal de déverrouillage qui déverrouille le dispositif de verrouillage avant que l'utilisateur autorisé ait pu ouvrir la porte. L'utilisateur est alors autorisé à ouvrir la porte sans avoir à ajouter au simple fait d'actionner la poignée celui d'exécuter une action spécifique non ergonomique et faisant perdre du temps. Le second signal est généré par un dispositif tel qu'un dispositif main libre, une carte ou analogue, portant une identification unique numérique ou analogique en réponse à une interrogation RF ou IR du processeur général après réception du signal de sortie du détecteur pour accès sans clé. L'invention porte également sur d'autres variantes de réalisations.

Inventor: NISHIOKA TSUYOSHI
IPC: H04L9/38
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: An optical system of a transmission device for quantum cryptograph
includes a Faraday mirror and a phase modulator. The phase modulator
has multiple refractivity, and it is inevitable to lose an extreme amount of
input due to the configuration of the optical path. As a result, the S/N ratio
is reduced, which makes an adjustment at start time difficult. A light pulse
incident to the transmission device includes two light pulses of the TE
polarization wave and the TM polarization wave for a phase modulator 8.
The light pulse of the TE polarization wave is changed to the TM
polarization wave by a Faraday mirror 7, and the TM polarization wave is
changed to the TE polarization wave by rotating the polarization plate and
reflecting by the Faraday mirror 7, and output from the transmission device.
Two polarization beam splitters 5 and 6 are used so that the light pulse of the
TM polarization wave should bypass the phase modulator 8. Only light
pulse of the TE polarization wave is carried to the phase modulator 8.

IPC: F03B13/20
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: Wave energy converters having a paddle form and facing the seas have been described in papers, previous designs having a sliding mass located low in the hull. Power is taken off by resisting the movement of the sliding mass. In this invention, the sliding mass is located high in the hull, generally above sea level, where it is more effective and so may have a substantially lower mass. In addition, instead of moving in a straight line, means may be provided for the slide to be curved in the vertical plane to improve performance. Further, the guiding means may be a pivoted arm or a linkage, rather than a slide, and the path may be variable to suit the period of the waves.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un élément photosensible (5) comprenant une couche de matière photosensible (10) sur un support transparent, multicouche et polymère (20, 22) doté de nombreuses couches alternées de deux matières polymères différentes. Un réflecteur multicouche polymère (22) réfléchit au moins 50 % de radiation actinique dans la portée des longueurs d'ondes auxquelles la matière photosensible (10) est sensible. Si le réflecteur multicouche polymère (22) comprend de nombreuses couches fines alternées situées à la surface du support polymère (20, 22) au plus proche de la matière sensible (42), l'élément non seulement fournit une vitesse accrue mais produit aussi un effet anti-halo. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un réflecteur multicouche (22) est situé à une distance de la couche photosensible (10) suffisante pour réduire les éventuels motifs parasites qui apparaîtraient normalement, tout en augmentant la vitesse.

Abstract: The present invention provides a film roll comprising
an electrified portion at at least part in the tranverse direction
of a film that is wound into a roll, in which the difference
between the maximum width and the minimum width of the electrified
portion is 10 mm or less. In this manner, side slipping can be
reliably prevented while securing escapeways for air at the edges,
and a film roll having no side slips, wrinkles, deformation,
decentering, or the like can be manufactured. 
     The film roll of the present invention can be manufactured
by intermittently electrifying the film at a predetermined cycle,
the radio of the time duration of the electrification in the cycle
being 10 to 80%. 
     The film roll of the present invention has a high adhesive
force and does not suffer from slipping during evacuation in a
vacuum evaporator. Thus, the film roll is suitable as a master
roll for metallization and can be suitably applied to various uses
such as magnetic tapes, packaging materials, capacitors, and the
like.

Abstract: Verification of the determinist behaviour of a packet switching network is verified for each output port of each network switch, using a relationship based on a series of factors. These factors include the maximum latency value; the minimum time separating two consecutive frames; the jitter; and the maximum frame duration. <??>The system provides verification of the determinist behaviour of a packet switching network comprising subscriber stations connected together through at least one switch. The behaviour is called determinist in the sense that all packets transmitted on the network from a source subscriber station rejoin the destination subscriber station(s) within a short time duration. The inequality is verified for each output port of each network switch, using a relationship based on a series of factors. These factors include the maximum latency value and the maximum duration of residence in the output buffer of a switch; the minimum time separating two consecutive frames appearing on a virtual link; the jitter associated with a virtual link; and the maximum frame duration, which is the longest duration frame on the virtual link.
