Abstract: Medical devices, and in particular implantable medical devices, may be coated to minimize or substantially eliminate a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. The medical devices may be coated with any number of biocompatible materials. Therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may be mixed with the biocompatible materials and affixed to at least a portion of the medical device. These therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may also further reduce a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds may be utilized to promote healing, including the formation of blood clots. Also, the devices may be modified to promote endothelialization. Various materials and coating methodologies may be utilized to maintain the drugs, agents or compounds on the medical device until delivered and positioned. In addition, the devices utilized to deliver the implantable medical devices may be modified to reduce the potential for damaging the implantable medical device during deployment. Medical devices include stents, grafts, anastomotic devices, perivascular wraps, sutures and staples. In addition, various polymer combinations may be utilized to control the elution rates of the therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds from the implantable medical devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a transmission signal generation section 1 , a transmission signal control section 2 , a transmission section 3 , a leakage electric power detection section 4 , and an electric power control judgment section 5. The transmission signal generation section 1 generates a transmission signal for carrying out transmission using a plurality of sub-carriers, under control of the transmission signal control section 2 , and has a transmission electric power control function with respect to each sub-carrier. The leakage electric power detection section 4 detects electric power which is leaked from a transmission line 9 among transmission electric power. The electric power control judgment section 5 judges necessity of transmission electric power control by the transmission signal control section 2 , on the basis of a leakage electric power signal from the leakage electric power detection section 4 , and in case that it was judged that transmission electric power control is necessary, it notifies that effect to the transmission signal control section 2. The transmission signal control section 2 controls transmission electric power of a sub-carrier, on the basis of the leakage electric power signal from the leakage electric power detection section 4.
