Abstract: A medical needle shield apparatus is described and comprises a shield extensible from a retracted position to an extended position to enclose a distal end of a needle. The needle includes a proximal end mounted to a hub. The shield comprises an outer bearing defining a first interior space about a longitudinal axis and an inner bearing defining a second interior space about the longitudinal axis. Said needle is disposed in said second interior space and is movable along said longitudinal axis. The inner bearing is disposed in said first interior space and is moveable therein along said longitudinal axis and the inner bearing and the outer bearing remain coaxial throughout movement of the inner bearing relative to the outer bearing. A wedging portion is movable with said inner bearing for wedging against said needle to secure the distal end of said needle within the second interior space in the extended position. A tether has a proximal end connected to said hub and a distal end connected to said inner bearing to prevent separation of the shield from the needle in the extended position.

Abstract: There is provided herein a system and method for efficient generation and management of similarity playlists. The instant invention allows users to initiate and shape the playlist generation process to automatically provide playlists that are based on the musical features of the files stored in the database and that contain musically similar items. Furthermore, the instant invention allows the user to select and weight the musical criteria that are used to form the playlist, thereby adapting it accordingly. In the preferred embodiment, the user will initiate the playlist generation process by selecting a music item. Based on the musical features of that music item a similarity playlist will be automatically constructed. As part of a parameterization step the user will review the playlist and shape it by potentially indicating a preference or dislike for each musical feature and using that indication the playlist generation process will then be re-initiated.

Abstract: An engine control unit is provided which permits easy restarting of an engine in a state where the throttle valve is moved to its close position as the result of an anomaly being detected. 
     The engine control unit has an anomaly judging section 204 for judging whether or not there is any anomaly in throttle sensors based on the output of the throttle sensors (first and second throttle valve opening sensors 168, 170), a throttle motor driving section 206 for controlling the driving of a throttle motor 166, and a fuel injection control section 210 for controlling the amount of fuel injection at the time of starting an engine 22 by using the fuel injection map for starting. The throttle motor driving section 206 stops the driving of the throttle motor 166 if the throttle sensors are judged to be anomalous, and the fuel injection control section 210 switches from the fuel injection map for starting in a normal state to the fuel injection map for starting in an anomalous state at the time of restarting the engine 22 after stopping the engine 22 in a state that the throttle sensors are judged to be anomalous.

Abstract: The present invention is direct to a deployment system for an endoluminal device. The deployment system includes a confining sheath placed around a compacted endoluminal device. A deployment line is provided in the system that is an integral extension of the sheath. As the deployment line is actuated, the sheath retracts from around the compacted endoluminal device. As the sheath retracts from around the endoluminal device, material from the sheath may be converted into deployment line. Once the sheath is retracted from around the compacted endoluminal device, the endoluminal device expands in configuration and repairs vascular or cardiac structures of an implant recipient. Any remaining sheath material is removed from the implantation site along with the deployment line. The deployment system also includes an endo-prosthesis mounting member placed between the endoluminal device and an underlying catheter. The endo-prosthesis mounting member serves to cushion and retain the endoluminal device when constrained by the sheath and may assist in expansion of the endoluminal device when unconstrained by the sheath.
