Title: Dilatation catheter system
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2001-10-31
Abstract: A dilatation catheter consists of a catheter body 1 comprising at least two expandable sections 2a, 2b capable of selective independent expansion to deliver stent(s) 3a, 3b to vascular site(s). The expandable sections 2a, 2b may be adjacent or remote from one another. Where a considerable length of vascular tissue is stenosed, a stent delivery catheter may be selected which has a number of adjacent expandable sections 2a, 2b, each carrying a stent 3a, 3b. The catheter may be inserted into the vascular tissue and the expandable section with the stent most closely matched to the stenosed region may be expanded to place the stent, in a tailored fashion, into the vascular tissue. The surgeon can establish whether a sufficient length of tissue has been stented. If not, an additional second expandable section may be positioned in the appropriate unstented region, expanded and a stent delivered accordingly.

Patent GB-0227608-D0 (GB)
Title: Resin cross-linking
IPC: C08J3/24
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: A method of effecting cross-linking of a resin comprises generating vinyl sulfonyl moieties in situ with the resin, said sulfonyl moieties then undergoing a reaction which effects cross-linking of the resin.

Title: Polyphonic coding
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 1989-06-15
Abstract: A polyphonic (e.g. stereo) audioconferencing system, in which input left and right channels are time-aligned by variable delay stages (10a, 10b), controlled by a delay calculator (9) (e.g. by deriving the maximum cross-correlation value), and then summed in an adder (2) and subtracted in subtracter (3) to form sum and difference signals. The sum signal is transmitted in relatively high quality; the difference signal is reconstructed at the decoder by prediction from the sum signal using an adaptive filter (5). The decoder adaptive filter (5) is configured either by received filter coefficients or, using backwards adaptation, from a received residual signal produced by a corresponding adaptive filter (4) in the coder, or both. Preferably, the adaptive filter (4) is a lattice filter, employing a gradient algorithm for coefficient update. The complexity of the adaptive filter (4) is reduced by pre-whitening, in the encoder, both the sum and difference signals using corresponding whitening filters (14a, 14b) derived from the sum channel.

The parallel sides of the ridges carry a thin layer of a conducting material, acting as an electrode. A particle or radiation beam to be detected impinges on the ridges, in a direction normal to the plane of the substrate, so causing electron/hole carriers production within the ridges. The carriers migrate to the electrodes, in a direction perpendicular to the beam, thereby inducing charge on the electrodes. The readout can be extremely rapid, since the carriers need to migrate only a very small distance to the side of the ridge.
