Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: A catheter for use in a body vessel includes a relatively stiff proximal
shaft (16) that is shaped as a tube formed with a lumen and having a proximal end
and a distal end. Further, the catheter includes a relatively flexible distal tube (18)
formed with a lumen and having a proximal end and a distal end. An
inflatable balloon may be attached to the outer wall of the distal tube near the
distal end. The proximal end of the distal tube is attached to the distal end of
the proximal shaft at a transitional joint (30). The transitional joint provides a
gradual transition in flexibility over the length of the joint between the stiff
proximal shaft and the flexible distal tube. Importantly, the transitional joint
includes an extension (32) made of a material having superelastic properties when
positioned inside the body vessel. One end (76) of the extension is attached to the
distal end of the proximal shaft. The other end (78) of the extension projects into
the lumen (68) of the distal tube. The extension may be formed as a ribbon, core
wire or may constitute a tapered section of the proximal shaft.

Abstract: The invention concerns improvements to containers, in particular plastic bottles, having a body (2) with a circular non-cylindrical wall, so as to reinforce them and prevent cross-section variation when they are subjected to compression forces. Part at least of the wall is provided with a substantially planar relief. The wall is reinforced with peripheral grooves (26, 27, 28, 29, 30) oriented in planes substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X) of the container, and the part including a substantially planar relief is run through with several grooves. The width of each of the grooves is such that it is less wide (L2) where it emerges in the part of the wall than at the middle (L1) of its crossing. The invention is particularly useful for reinforcing large capacity bottles.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil distributeur et un procédé comprenant une coque (18) de distributeur mixte ayant une partie inférieure (20) et deux parties de support (22) solidaires définissant deux zones de support distinctes sur lesquelles deux astronefs (12) peuvent être en appui côte à côte. Les parties de support supérieures sont en outre disposées à l'intérieur d'une enveloppe définie par un bord inférieur de la partie inférieure de la coque du distributeur. Dans un mode de réalisation, deux coques d'adaptation (149) sont disposées sur les parties de support supérieures de façon à permettre l'interfaçage avec un anneau de jonction normalisé de chaque astronef. Les modes de réalisation du distributeur sont chacun formés à partir d'un matériau graphite époxyde par des procédés de construction classiques, le poids global du distributeur étant ainsi sensiblement réduit en comparaison avec des distributeurs qui supportent deux astronefs disposés verticalement. Le distributeur selon l'invention permet en outre de réduire le coût global lié au support de deux astronefs, ainsi que la quantité de débris orbital que sont susceptibles de produire des distributeurs qui supportent deux astronefs disposés verticalement.

Abstract: During the time when a radio mobile station is in communication
with a base station at a certain frequency, when the frequency is being
switched to another frequency and the reception level is being measured,
AD data applied to a despreading/demodulating circuit (6) is set to "0" by
an A/D output mask control portion (16). Thus, a noise component
irrelevant to demodulation is prevented from being input to the
despreading/demodulating circuit (6) after a local oscillation signal is
output from a PLL synthesizer (4) until a stable baseband signal is output
from a mixer circuit (3), so that stable demodulation is ensured.

Abstract: This invention relates to optical communications and is designed for use
in data transmission networks. 
     The technical effect of this invention consists in lowering capital and
operating costs per unit of information transmitted and at the same time
raising the overall maximum access speed. Subsidiary technical effects
include allowing various groups of users to be organized at different
service levels within a single service sector by using different
electromagnetic radiation beams (including a single wavelength), and
also enhancing security against unauthorized access. 
     The method comprises extracting data packets addressed to the
subscribers of a subscriber access point from the network and
transmitting the information contained in these packets by a directional
electromagnetic radiation beam. The beam is directed at the receiving
devices of subscribers at their respective addresses. The claimed method
is used to transmit information to subscribers by optical-range
electromagnetic radiation while dynamically controlling the spatial
characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation beam using the address
information of the packets so that the radiation beam is directed to the
receiving device of a respective subscriber during transmission of a
particular data packet. This embodiment of the invention uses an
electromagnetic radiation beam of narrow angular divergence and the
direction of its propagation is varied dynamically. In another embodiment
of the invention, the spatial characteristics of the beam are controlled by a
dynamic hologram that is, for each registered subscriber address, an
optical match of the aforesaid electromagnetic radiation source and the
receiver of the subscriber at that address. 1 independent claim and 2
dependent claims, 2 illustrations.

Abstract: An antenna diversity receiver comprises a zero-IF receiver connected to two antennas ( 102 a , 102 b) via switches ( 532, 534 ). Simultaneous measurement of signal qualities from both antennas is possible by routing signals from the first antenna ( 102 a) via a first mixer ( 106 ) and channel filter ( 116 ) and routing signals from the second antenna ( 102 b) via a second mixer ( 108 ) and channel filter ( 118 ). A diversity controller ( 536 ) compares the signal qualities received from the antennas ( 102 a , 102 b) during a data preamble to select a preferred antenna, then adjusts the switches ( 532, 534 ) to route the signals from the preferred antenna to both input mixers ( 106, 108 ). The amplifier ( 104 a , 104 b) connected to the deselected antenna may be switched off during data reception, thereby minimizing extra power consumption. Such an antenna diversity receiver enables effective antenna selection to be performed, even in systems such as Bluetooth where only a very short preamble is provided for receiver configuration.
