Abstract: L'invention porte sur un cathéter projeteur de lumière (10) comportant une tige proximale (14) à deux lumières et une tige distale (12) à une lumière. Un fil guide (28) et un guide de lumière (30) placés dans la première et la deuxième lumière de la tige proximale peuvent s'étendre individuellement dans la lumière unique de la tige distale (12). Un moyeu (16) comporte des orifices d'introduction de fluides dans les lumières. Pour extraire un caillot de sang, le fil guide (28) est déployé dans la lumière unique pour positionner le cathéter (10) sur le caillot. Le fil guide (28) est ensuite retiré et le guide de lumière (30) déployé, tandis qu'un liquide de contraste est envoyé dans la lumière du guide de lumière, de préférence avant l'application de l'énergie lumineuse. On peut repositionner le cathéter (10) avant l'application suivante d'énergie lumineuse, et appliquer une substance désagrégeant le caillot. En variante, le cathéter (10) peut traverser le caillot, puis être retiré pour l'application de l'énergie lumineuse et du fluide de contraste.

Abstract: A modem system includes a programmable synchronization signal format that can be configured at a first modem in response to a request received from a second modem. The synchronization signal format may define a number of parameters of the synchronization signal, such as the sign pattern for symbols transmitted by the first modem during a training sequence. The specific parameters of the synchronization signal format may be associated with the design and operation of the second modem. For example, the particular timing recovery and automatic gain control schemes used by the receiver portion of the second modem may be optimally initialized with a synchronization signal having a specific length, amplitude, or spectrum. In one embodiment, a synchronization signal is configured to convey a single frequency tone for use during a synchronization routine. The modem system may also employ similar techniques to generate, transmit, and analyze a programmable line impairment learning signal. Such a programmable learning signal may be formatted such that characteristics of the communication channel are determined for individual signal points. In response to a particular learning signal, the second modem selects a number of preferred signal points for use by the modem system during subsequent data transmission.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic key comprising electronic components for receiving or transmitting signals. Said components are integrated in a housing (20). A mechanical emergency key (30') is provided in case of an electronics failure. Said emergency key (30') can be inserted into a recess (27) in the housing (20) together with its key shaft (31'). The aim of the invention is to produce a key which can be handled easily. To this end, one end of the housing is provided with a recess which is undercut at least in places and which usually prevents the inserted emergency key (30') from being pulled out. Usually, the key is in a holding position in the housing (20) with an essentially positive fit. However, the emergency key can be turned in the recess (27) of the housing (20) from a holding position to a release position (30') in which the positive fit between the widening (32') in the key (30') and the recess is eliminated in the pull-out direction of the emergency key.
