Abstract: A laser cut stent for transluminal delivery has windows in its cylindrical wall, the windows giving the stent enhanced flexibility during delivery along said lumen. A method of making such a stent involves removing from the wall of a tube enough material to leave the tube wall penetrated in a multiplicity of separate cut lines, in a pattern which permits the tube to expand. The tube is then expanded and then a plurality of tube wall scrap portions are removed from the tube wall between adjacent cut lines, thereby to introduce a plurality of spacings between adjacent stenting zones of the tube wall surface, these remaining after compression of the tube to a configuration to allow it to be advanced along a tortuous bodily lumen. Advantageously, the material of the tube is a shape memory alloy and the tube is for a self-expanding stent.

Abstract: A system for individually controlling the power levels of a plurality of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical signals in a single optical guide comprising optical attenuation means comprising a plurality of individually controllable optical attenuators. An example of a suitable optical attenuator is a tunable fibre Bragg grating filter whose reflectivity characteristic varies with wavelength over an active region thereof. By tuning the filter, it is possible to control the reflectivity at a particular wavelength in the active region. The system may, in addition, comprise a second plurality of optical attenuators arranged so as to compensate for any power level distortion introduced by the first plurality. Optical circulators may be used to route signals into and between the pluralities of optical attenuators.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process is disclosed for refining silver bullion, i.e. raw silver containing generally more than 90% silver besides Se, Pb, Au, Cu and platinum group metals (PGM) as main impurities. The process comprises:optionally removing Se as gaseous SeO2 from the molten metallic phase by injecting air, which is preferably O2 enriched, into the metallic phase at a preferred bath temperature of 1000-1100° C.;optionally slagging off the Pb by contacting the molten metallic phase with a silica and borax based flux at a preferred bath temperature of 1000-1150° C.;granulating the molten metallic phase in water, thereby forming Ag rich granules;leaching the Ag rich granules with HNO3 at a temperature above 50° C., preferably in an O2 enriched atmosphere, followed by filtration, thereby separating an Au bearing residue from an Ag rich liquor;heating the Ag rich liquor, thereby evaporating H2O and forming an AgNO3 bearing melt;maintaining the AgNO3 bearing melt at a temperature of 220-350° C. for at least 15 minutes, thereby forming a mixture of a purified AgNO3 and of a denitration residue containing essentially all the PGM as oxides;separating the purified AgNO3 from the denitration residue.By this process, the many drawbacks of the classical electrolytic refining of silver are avoided.

Abstract: An epidural needle is provided with a curved distal end to facilitate placement of a catheter into the epidural space of a spine. The distal end is further characterized by a primary bevel aligned to the longitudinal axis of the epidural needle at an angle of approximately 10°. A secondary bevel also is provided at the extreme distal end of the needle. The secondary bevel is aligned to the longitudinal axis of the needle at an angle of between 60°-80°. The curve, the primary bevel and the secondary bevel all are symmetrical about common plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the needle. The secondary bevel aligned at an angle of 60°-80° to the longitudinal axis provides a sufficiently sharp point to penetrate easily into the epidural space, but provides sufficient blunting to avoid inadvertent damage to the dura matter.

Abstract: In a communication system, a method and an accompanying apparatus provide for efficient modulation and demodulation processes. In a transmitter (100), a ratio of power level of a communication channel over power level of a pilot channel is determined to produce a power level ratio. The power level ratio is quantized within a finite digital word. A quantized quadrature amplitude modulation distance, in a quadrature amplitude modulation constellation, is determined based on the quantized power level ratio. A signal, in accordance with a quadrature amplitude modulation technique, is modulated using the quantized distance, and transmitted to a receiver (160).

Abstract: A process and apparatus related to a workstation adjacent to a traveling web (12) including a device (10) for intermittently performing an operation affecting the web. An important application involves ultrasonically welding multiple layers of a traveling web (12). First and second rollers (30,32,34,36) on opposite sides of the workstation are simultaneously shifted in a direction counter to the machine direction each time a bonding force is applied. The overall running speed in the machine remains at a constant velocity due to the resultant festooning effect and thus the dwell time for bonding is increased. Thus the effective operating speed of processed having finite limits may be increased at least 33%. The first and second rollers (30,32,34,36) are eccentrically rotationally mounted, respectively, on third and fourth hollow rollers which are provided with eccentrically positioned hollow cylindrical openings which, in turn, are mounted, respectively, on shafts positioned perpendicularly to the machine direction. Shifting of the rollers (30,32,34,36) is effected by simultaneous rotation of the rollers. Preferably, the first (30) and second (32) rollers are driven synchronously in a first rotational direction and the third (34) and fourth (36) rollers are driven synchronously in the opposite rotational direction. <IMAGE>
