Abstract: Method and apparatus providing intelligent fault recovery are presented. The apparatus includes line card equipment separating control plane components from data plane components enabling a control plane reset while the data plane remains operational at least to the extent that content conveyed in respect of currently provisioned services continues to be processed therethrough. Detected faults are categorized in accordance with a group of severity levels and recovery behavior is specified for each fault severity level. As a guiding principle of the engineered failure mitigation response provided, the control plane of a fault affected line card is reset in an attempt to mitigate an experienced fault condition; the entire line card being reset only as a last resort and only to restore service. In the case of potentially service affecting faults, partially service affecting faults, and non-service affecting faults, the fault is tolerated to the extent possible in the absence of further information regarding what service impact the reset action would have. Meta-information, typically available from a remote communication network location, is employed in providing the engineered failure mitigation response. Advantages are derived from an engineered response to detected faults providing an increased line card component availability, and therefore an increased overall communications network infrastructure availability.

Abstract: The invention is a transvaginal ultrasound probe having an attached echogenic needle that is useful in the treatment of uterine fibroids. The echogenic needle has an echogenic surface near its tip that allows the physician to visualize its location using ultrasound imaging. In one embodiment, the needle has an active electrode at its distal end. The active electrode supplies radio frequency energy to a fibroids causing necrosis of the targeted fibroid or by destroying the fibroid's vascular supply. The radio frequency needle preferably has a safety device that shuts-off energy if the needle punctures the uterine wall. In a second embodiment, the needle has a cryogen supply tube and cryogen supply. This embodiment destroys fibroid tissue by freezing it or its vascular supply when the tissue comes in contact with the needle's frozen distal end. The invention further includes the method of using the ultrasound probe with the attached needle.

Abstract: The present invention is a flow distributor and integral bed support for a chromatography column. The flow distributor has an outlet extending through it and a bottom face across which is secured a bed support. The bottom face has a series of ribs extending radially outward from a center portion of the face. The bed support is secured to the flow distributor about its outer periphery and this amount of available surface area of the flow distributor and/or face that is used to secure the bed support is less than about 10%. A distribution disk is arranged over the inlet and extends across from about 1 to about 30% of the flow distributor's surface area, ending just short of the inner edge of the ribs closest to the center point of the flow distributor face. This disk is mounted on two or more legs so as to be of substantially the same height as the ribs. The disk projects the fluid flow in a 360° radial distribution without any noticeable partitioning. The flow distributor allows one to run the column at higher velocities up to 1500 cm/hour while maintaining its integrity and a standard flow across the flow distributor and while having a low-pressure drop across the column.
