Abstract: A catheter is disclosed providing a balloon catheter having a distal tip that is flexible while additionally incorporating high column strength. The present invention additionally provides a distal tip region that accommodates for various sized guidewires. In preferred embodiments, the distal tip region is initially configured for accommodating the passage of 0.12-inch guidewires only. Through specific manufacturing processes, however, the distal tip is modified so that it also may be expanded to accommodate the passage of 0.14-inch guidewires. In additional preferred embodiments, an elastomeric sleeve is disposed over the modified distal tip to allow the tip to return to the initial 0.12 -inch accommodating profile when the larger 0.14-inch guidewire is withdrawn from the catheter.

Abstract: Power is conserved in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver by shutting down selected components during periods when the GPS receiver is not actively calculating the GPS receiver location. A low power time keeping circuit accurately preserves GPS time when the selected components are deactivated. When the selected components are turned on in response to a wake-up command, time provided from the low power time keeping circuit, corrected for actual operating temperatures, and data from the GPS clock temperature/frequency table, are used to recalibrate time from a GPS oscillator. Positions of the GPS satellites are then estimated such that the real GPS time is quickly determined from the received satellite signals. Once real GPS time is determined from the detected satellite signals, the selected components are deactivated. The process described above is repeated such that accurate GPS time is maintained by the low power time keeping circuit.

Abstract: An external welding machine has strip feeders(8,9) and plastic strip conveyers(24) for alternately feeding strip sections(7) from each side transverse to the panel(2) production direction(a). Comb-shaped components(44,45) with prongs(46) for supporting strips to be welded move up and down relative to the working table and also backwards and forwards in the production direction(a). A plant working on the internal welding principle has a similar construction, but the traverse(26) carries a comb-like heating arrangement with a row of prong-shaped heating plates. During a welding cycle a drive unit inserts the heating elements from below or above between the already formed panel and a newly drawn in strip section(7) and removes them after welding. Compression strips mounted on the traverse apply pressure to the heated strip areas so that the last strip is welded onto the previous strip on the panel. The traverse in the internal welding machine performs similar movements to that used in the external welding machine. Each strip feeder(8,9) comprises a roll(10) for the plastic strip material(11), a diverting roll(13), a powered transporting roll(14) with pressure roll(15), a plastic strip storage system(16), an additional diverting roll(17) with pressure roll(18) or a longitudinal cutter for strip material. The conveyer(24) for drawing strip sections into the working area comprises gripping tongs(25). The strip holder(27) is a long beam(31) with a vacuum chamber(32) and ribs(33) having suction bores(34) for holding strip sections. Drive units(38,39) press heating element holders against strip areas to be welded onto the panel. A traverse with strip holder(27), heating elements(37) and holders(35) can move to and from (b, c) the strip welding position and also sideways parallel to the strip to heat the next strip.

The logged usage information is also authenticated allowing identification of the client using the associated digital content. The entries of the log may include a representation of the content, information about usage quality and/or usage time. The logging agent is preferably implemented in a portable tamper-resistant module, e.g. a network subscriber identity module. The module may be pre-manufactured with the logging agent, or the agent can be downloaded thereto.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an accompanying method for use therein, that utilizes working and stopping servo-controlled hydraulic pistons wherein the stopping piston acts as a controlled mechanical stop for the working piston. Both pistons are spaced apart along and coaxially arranged around a common shaft, with each piston moving in a separate cylinder. The working piston is securely attached to the shaft, while the shaft moves through a central, longitudinal bore of the stopping piston. The stopping piston effectively "floats" in its cylinder and produces a greater force than the working piston. A radially extending stop element, situated on the shaft, has a surface configured to abuttingly engage with a complementary surface on the stopping piston such that the stopping piston, once appropriately positioned, controllably stops continued movement of the working piston in a very short time and over a very short distance with little strain induced in the apparatus.
