Abstract: A gain compensator compensates for the gain variation of a varactor-tuned voltage tuned oscillator (VCO) in a phase lock loop (PLL). The VCO (222) includes a parallel LC circuit (228) having multiple fixed capacitors that can be switched-in or switched-out of the LC circuit according to a capacitor control signal to perform band-select tuning of the VCO. The gain compensator compensates for the variable VCO gain by generating a charge pump reference current that is based on the same capacitor control signal that controls the fixed capacitors in the LC circuit. The gain compensator generates the charge pump reference current by replicating a reference scale current using unit current sources. The number of times the reference scale current is replicated is based on the fixed capacitance that is switched-in to the LC circuit and therefore the frequency band of the PLL. The reference scale current is generated based on a PLL control that specifics certain PLL characteristics such as reference frequency, loop bandwidth, and loop damping. Therefore, the reference pump current can be efficiently optimized for changing PLL operating conditions, in addition to compensating for variable VCO gain.

Abstract: L'objectif de la présente invention est de minimiser le potentiel d'endommagement de revêtements pour endoprothèse biocompatibles et/ou renfermant des médicaments. A cette fin, une gaine élastique flexible se trouve sur une couche entre un ballonnet de dilatation non flexible et une endoprothèse non dilatée, fixée au ballonnet au moyen d'une pince de fixation. L'ensemble de déploiement d'endoprothèse, monté sur une sonde, est manipulé dans le corps du patient jusqu'à un site de déploiement souhaité, puis est gonflé afin de dilater l'endoprothèse jusqu'au diamètre souhaité. Lors de la dilatation, le matériau élastique flexible entre l'endoprothèse et le ballonnet non flexible permet d'empêcher le ballonnet non flexible d'endommager le revêtement d'endoprothèse et d'empêcher des perforations induites par endoprothèse, par exemple, d'endommager le ballonnet non flexible.

The first and second electroacoustic transducers each have a determined bandwidth and a determined frequency response characteristic. The frequency of the acoustic carrier wave is varied during a determined time period to sweep a determined range of frequencies situated in the band common to the first and second electroacoustic transducers so that the frequency of the transmitted acoustic carrier wave does not coincide at any time with a peak or a trough of the frequency response characteristic of the first or the second electroacoustic transducer.
