Abstract: A suturing device (520) allows a physician to remotely seal an incision (26) in a blood vessel (16) or other biological tissue. The device (520) comprises an elongated tubular body (514, 515) having a distal portion (515, 522) which is adapted to be inserted percutaneously through the incision (26) and into the blood vessel (16). The distal portion (515, 522) has at least first and second retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) which extend from the distal portion (515, 522) of the body (514, 515) and releasably hold a suture (40) within the blood vessel (16). First and second retractable needles (546, 650), each of which is configured to catch the suture (40) from a respective arm (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662), are provided along the body (514, 515) proximal to the retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662). The arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) and the needles (546, 650) are remotely movable by the physician using a handle (550, 600, 700) or other control mechanism provided at a distal portion of the device (520). In operation, the arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) are initially deployed within the blood vessel (16) to hold the ends of the suture (40) beyond the circumference of the tubular body (514, 515). The needles (546, 650) are then deployed from and then retracted into the body (514, 515), during which time the needles (546, 650) pierce the wall (22) of the vessel (16) on substantially opposite sides of the incision (26), release the suture ends from the retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662), and pull the suture (40) through the vessel wall (22). The device (520) is particularly useful for closing an incision (22) in an artery following a catheterization procedure. In one embodiment, the catheter sheath introducer (6) used to perform the catheterization procedure is left in place during the suturing procedure.

Abstract: When a forced regeneration is restarted after interrupting the forced regeneration, and in at least any one of cases where the collecting quantity area (Rpj) detected by the collecting quantity area detection means (32C) is in another collecting quantity area having a collecting quantity larger than that of the collecting quantity area (Rpi) immediately after interruption, or where the travel distance area (Rmj) detected by the travel distance area detection means (33C) is in another travel distance area, having a travel distance larger than that of the travel distance area (Rmi) immediately after interruption, the forced regeneration is performed from the start, and in other case, the forced regeneration is performed for the remained period of time of the previous forced regeneration, continuing to the previous forced regeneration. <??>Thereby, in the case of an exhaust gas purification system (1), provided with a DPF device (13), when the forced regeneration for the DPF device (13) is restarted after interruption, it is possible to sufficiently burn and remove the PM accumulated in the DPF (13b) and moreover, efficiently regenerate the DPF (13b). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calculating a flight path avoiding a collision with the ground when an aircraft dives towards the ground. The method comprises receiving signals comprising information of a dive angle of the aircraft in relation to the imaginary ground plane, and a present roll angle of the aircraft, and calculating a flight path that avoids collision with the ground on the basis of said information, the calculation comprising calculating a need for rolling the aircraft based on the present roll angle, and calculating a need for changing the direction of the velocity vector of the aircraft so that the change has a component in an upward direction in relation to the reference frame of the aircraft. The calculation of the need for rolling the aircraft is also based on the dive angle so that the calculated flight path turns sideways when the dive angle surpasses a specified dive angle and when the present roll angle is larger than zero degrees, and so that the flight path continues in a forward direction when the dive angle is below said specified dive angle. The invention also relates to a ground collision calculating unit, a computer program, and a computer readable medium.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for improving data integrity and the efficiency of data storage in separate memories of a computing device. In particular, the present invention introduces a combination of two types of memory, namely, an NVRAM and a Flash memory, as persistent memory for storing file data. By constantly caching a last data portion of a data file in an NVRAM, it avoids any sector erasing for individual bits in a Flash memory. Such an approach increases the data storage efficiency and life expectancy of a Flash memory. The present invention has very broad application in almost all computing devices, including any PC (desktop or laptop) and server computers. It demonstrates particularly advantageous performance in portable electronic devices implementing Windows(TM) CE operating systems.

Abstract: Upon detection of a trigger, such as the exceeding of an error threshold or the direction of a user, a diagnostic link system enters a diagnostic information transmission mode. This diagnostic information transmission mode allows for two modems to exchange diagnostic and/or test information that may not otherwise be exchangeable during normal communication. The diagnostic information transmission mode is initiated by transmitting an initiate diagnostic link mode message to a receiving modem accompanied by a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The receiving modem determines, based on the CRC, if a robust communications channel is present. If a robust communications channel is present, the two modems can initiate exchange of the diagnostic and/or test information. Otherwise, the transmission power of the transmitting modem is increased and the initiate diagnostic link mode message re-transmitted to the receiving modem until the CRC is determined to be correct.
