IPC: A61F2/90

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of a stent provides a folded strut section (20) that provides both structural rigidity and reduction in foreshortening of the stent mechanism. A flexible section (30) provides flexibility for delivery of the stent mechanism. In a second embodiment, flexible section columns (130) are angled with respect to each other, and to the longitudinal axis of the stent. These relatively flexible sections are oppositely phased in order to negate any torsion along their length. In yet another embodiment, the flexible connector (310) can take on an undulating shape (like an "N"), but such that the longitudinal axis of the connector is not parallel with the longitudinal axis of the stent. Finally, a new method is disclosed for making stents. The method consists of performing a standard photochemical machining process of cutting, cleaning and coating the tube with a photoresist. However, unlike former methods, the photoresist image is developed on the surface of the cylindrical metallic tube, which results in a controlled variable etching rate at selected sites on the cylindrical metallic tube during the etching process. Further embodiments provide living hinge connectors (330) and connections along the length of the radial strut member.

formed at a management point at which a first resistance
value is detected when the electric contact is slid thereto
and a second linear conductive film (1B) formed through

of linear conductive films at a management point at which
a second resistance value is detected when the electric
contact is slid thereto, and the resistive element is
trimmed in the width direction of the linear conductive
films when the resistance value is adjusted.

Abstract: In a method of connecting the sense current lines in a cross-point memory array
(25) which greatly reduces the effect of reverse leakage from unaddressed row or column
lines (257,258), separate sense line segments (295) are coupled to separate stripes (290) of
row or column lines (257,258). Each sense line segment (295) is connected to a sense
diode (300), and each sense diode (300) is connected to a sense bus (310). Each sense
diode (300) provides the current path for sensing on a selected row or column line
(257,258), while allowing the leakage of only one diode (300) per sense line segment (295)
for the unaddressed row or column lines (257,258). This arrangement results in wider
margins for sensing the state of data cells in a cross-point memory array (25) and simpler
circuitry design for the memory array (25).

Abstract: A dual addressing mode is described in which reduced-length addresses (referred to as short addresses) are substituted for standard addresses (referred to as long addresses) for traffic whose source or destination is internal to a given virtual network topology. The required length of short addresses used for a given virtual topology is dependent on the number of devices reachable within the topology. For a virtual topology with less than 256 addressable devices, for example, 8-bit short addresses can be used. When a node within the virtual network sees a packet with a short destination address in the header, the node understands the address to be within the virtual network and routes the packet accordingly. If a source address is a short address, the virtual network can identify the source within the virtual network. For packets originating in the virtual network whose destination is also in the virtual network, both the source and destination addresses can be short addresses. Thus, devices within a virtual network topology are addressable in a dual manner on the data link layer and/or network layer by traffic flowing internal to, or private to, the virtual network. Also described is a technique for automatically assigning source addresses to devices within the virtual network.
