Abstract: Everting filter devices and methods for using the devices, including using the devices as intra-vascular filters to filter thrombus, emboli, and plaque fragments from blood vessels. The filter devices include a filter body nominally tubular in shape and having a large proximal opening. The filter body can extend from a proximal first end region distally over the non-everted exterior surface of the filter, further extending distally to a distal-most region, then converging inwardly and extending proximally toward the filter second end region, forming a distal everted cavity. The degree of eversion of the filter can be controlled by varying the distance between the filter first end region near the proximal opening and the closed second end region. Bringing the filter first and second end regions closer together can bring filter material previously on the non-everted filter exterior to occupy the distal-most region.

Abstract: The present invention improves efficiency of coding motion vectors when a current block is coded using a plurality of motion vectors. A motion vector coding unit (117) codes a motion vector inputted from a motion vector detecting unit (108). A motion vector for each current block is coded based on a difference between the motion vector and a predicted vector obtained from motion vectors for previously coded neighboring blocks. The predicted vector is generated by one of the following processing: (A) the motion vectors which refer to the same picture are selected from among the motion vectors for the neighboring blocks so as to generate the predicted vector; (B) the motion vectors for the respective neighboring blocks are ordered in the predetermined order, and the motion vectors of the same order rank are selected from the ordered motion vectors so as to generate the predicted vector; and (C) the predicted vector for the second motion vector of the current block shall be the first motion vector, and if the second motion vector and the first motion vector refer to different pictures, the first motion vector is scaled according to the temporal distance between the pictures so as to generate the predicted vector.

Abstract: A method of forming a unitary, composite structural member, and a member formed in accordance with the process. The process involves stitching a plurality of warp knit panel sections together to generally form a plurality of independent panel sections. The sections are placed within the dies of a molding tool such that a rib portion of each section aligns. Inflatable bladders are then slipped into voids formed in between the various panel sections of the assembly. The bladders are inflated to hold the panel sections in the shape of the final product and to hold the rib portions in contact with one another. Resin is then infused into the panels that make up the assembly. The assembly is then cured. When the panels are removed from the molding tool a unitary, complexly shaped, composite structural member is formed. The invention provides the advantage of not requiring any subsequent manufacturing step such as bonding or mechanical fastening of two or more sub-panels in order to form the finished structural part.
