Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based very-high-bit-rate subscriber line (VDSL) communication system includes an optical ring having a plurality of multiplexers. An information provider is connected to the optical ring via a first one of the multiplexers. The information provider includes an ATM core switch operable with the first one of the multiplexers for transmitting data and video signals on to the optical ring and for receiving data signals from the optical ring. Each of a plurality of central offices is connected to the optical ring via a respective one of the multiplexers. Each of the central offices includes an ATM edge switch operable with the respective one of the multiplexers for receiving video and data signals from the information provider via the optical ring and for transmitting data signals to the information provider via the optical ring. The information provider communicates with the central offices through a single optical ring. The central offices are configured to transform single video and data signals from the information provider into multiple signals for use by host digital terminals. The central offices are also configured to statistically multiplex multiple data signals from the host digital terminals into a single data signal for transmission to the information provider via the optical ring. The central offices are further configured to integrate a local public, educational, and government video signal with a video signal received from the information provider for use by the host digital terminals.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un laser à diode à semi-conducteur et à moulures enfouies, basé de préférence sur les familles de matériaux GaAs et AlGaAs. La fine couche de métallisation supérieure est revêtue par une couche d'arrêt d'attaque chimique exempte d'aluminium et par une couche de confinement également exempte d'aluminium, de préférence en GaInP, du type de conductivité opposé à celui de la couche de métallisation. Une tranchée, formée dans la couche de confinement, s'étend jusqu'à la couche d'arrêt d'attaque chimique. On refait croître du AlGaAs supplémentaire dans l'ouverture afin de former une moulure enfouie. Au cours de cette nouvelle croissance, aucun atome d'aluminium n'est exposé à la base ou sur les côtés de l'ouverture. Le réseau de la couche de confinement correspond de préférence à celui de AlGaAs. La fine couche d'arrêt possède de préférence le même type de conductivité et la même structure de bande que le AlGaAs qui l'entoure. Pour des lasers produisant un rayonnement à faible longueur d'onde, on augmente la teneur en aluminium des couches de métallisation en AlGaAs et on ajoute de l'aluminium à la couche de confinement, en quantité toutefois inférieure à celle des couches de métallisation.

Abstract: Wound closure methods and apparatus are provided which utilize blood fluid by activating the clotting cascade of blood fluid outside the body within a substantially enclosed sterile container then introducing the blood fluid to the wound site to complete clotting. Methods and apparatus for providing ways of inhibiting anti-coagulating agents and slowing fibrin clot degradation are also disclosed. Kits for practicing the invention singularly or in combination with and/or associated with preferred procedures are also disclosed. The present invention provides improved methods of creating hemostasis or control of bleeding at the site of wounds, particularly wounds created in arteries during procedures employing percutaneous access. The invention preferably includes the steps of acquiring an aliquot of a patient's blood, i.e., autologous blood, removing a negatively charged anti-coagulating agent, preferably heparin, from the blood, and preferably initiating the blood's natural clotting cascades and transporting the thus treated blood to the site of the wound where the clotting cascade will be completed producing a clot at the wound site that will create a condition of hemostasis. The invention further provides a clotting cascade initiation apparatus including a substantially enclosed sterile containment chamber within which an aliquot of blood fluid, either autologous or from donor sources, can be received and retained. In preferred embodiments, the sterile containment chamber further includes a heparin binding agent which will bind heparin and remove it from the blood fluid. In further embodiments the containment chamber will also include a procoagulating agent, wherein a clotting cascade can be initiated when the blood fluid is accepted into the sterile containment chamber.

Abstract: A continuous process for converting by transesterification the diester of polytetramethylene ether (PTMEA) to the corresponding polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG). The process is characterized by the fact that the feed, consisting of PTMEA along with an alkanol (preferably methanol) and with an alkali metal oxide, hydroxide or alkoxide catalyst (preferably sodium methaoxide) is made to react in two multistaged reactions in series. In the first reactant, including stages of retention in association with distillation trays of high efficiency, the bulk of conversion is achieved by stripping the alkanol ester formed in the transesterification with vapors of hot alkanol having a reduced content of alkanol ester. The transesterification is completed in the second reaction by stripping the effluent from the first reactor with vapors of hot alkanol almost free of alkanol ester. The PTMEG product is finally purified by neutralizing the alkaline catalyst with a mixture of phosphoric acid and sodium phosphate monobasic.

Abstract: Clot disruption and dissolution are achieved using a catheter having the ability to infuse a thrombolytic agent, aspirate clot and fluid, and allow passage of a guidewire. Optionally, the catheter may also include a mechanical agitator for further disrupt clot in the presence of the thrombolytic agent. A flow resistor in the catheter provides for infusion and/or aspiration to be concentrated primarily at a clot treatment area in a blood vessel while also providing optional infusion and/or aspiration distal to the treatment area. In some embodiments, infusion, aspiration and guidewire passage occur through a common lumen. The thrombolytic agent, such as tPA, streptokinase, or urokinase, is directly released into the clot at the point where the agitator is engaging the clot. In this way, the thrombolytic activity of the agent is enhanced and the dissolution of the clot is improved.
