Title: Three element coaxial vaso-occlusive device
Inventor: MARTINEZ GEORGE
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2003-07-31
Abstract: A vaso-occlusive device (10) includes inner (11), intermediate (12), and outer (13) elements arranged coaxially. The inner element is a filamentous element, preferably a microcoil. The intermediate element is made of a non-metallic material, preferably an expansile polymer. The outer element is substantially non-expansile and defines at least one gap or opening through which the intermediate element is exposed. In a preferred embodiment, when the intermediate element is expanded, it protrudes through the at least one gap or opening in the outer element and assumes a configuration with an undulating, convexly-curved outer surface defining a chain of arcuate segments, each having a diameter significantly greater than the diameter of the outer element. The expanded configuration of the intermediate element minimizes friction when the device is deployed through a microcatheter, thereby reducing the likelihood of buckling while maintaining excellent flexibility. The result is a device with enhanced pushability and trackability when deployed through a microcatheter.

Title: User interface for television schedule system
Inventor: YOUNG PATRICK
IPC: H04N5/782
Filed: 1991-09-10
Abstract: Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different program lengths of one half to one-and-one half hours or more. Because of the widely varying length of the cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changed in the screen (10). By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided. A conventional offset shadow (34) which is a black bar underlines the entire cell and wraps around the right edge of the cell. To tag the underlying position which defines where the cursor (32) is and thus, where it will move next portions (36) of the black bar outside the current underlying position are segmented, while the current position is painted solid.

Title: Method and system for controlling access to presence information on a peer-to-peer basis
Inventor: SINCLAIR ANDREW P
IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: A presence information system allows access to presence information of a publisher to be controlled and enforced by the publisher on a peer-to-peer basis, rather than by a presence server. A subscriber sends to the publisher on a peer-to-peer basis a request to subscribe to the presence information of the publisher. When the publisher receives the request to subscribe to its presence information, the presence information system of the publisher can allow or deny the request based on access rights associated with the subscriber.      If the request is allowed, then the publisher notifies the subscriber of its current presence state and its new presence state when it changes. The presence states may be defined at various levels of detail in a presence model.

The differences may include material toughness (impact resistance), bevel size, abrasion resistance, or backrake angle. Additional sets of cutting elements may be added to correspond to other formations or to otherwise improve performance.
