Abstract: There is described an apparatus for delivering a closure element into a puncture communicating with a blood vessel including an introducer sheath and a locator member disposed within the sheath, the locator member having a distal portion extending distally beyond the distal end of the sheath. A plurality of splines are provided on the distal portion of the locator member, the splines being selectively expandable between an axial collapsed configuration and a transverse expanded configuration. An actuator is coupled to the locator member for controllably expanding the splines. A housing is slidably disposed on the sheath for deploying a closure element, such as a vascular clip. The locator actuator may automatically collapse the splines upon advancement of the housing. Alternatively, the distal portion includes a helically wound wire and a tether coupled to the wire that is movable for causing the wire to buckle instead of the splines.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des mélanges de caoutchouc contenant au moins un caoutchouc comprenant des doubles liaisons, des gels de caoutchouc et des additifs de peroxydes inorganiques, et éventuellement d'autres charges et adjuvants de caoutchouc. Les mélanges de caoutchouc obtenus selon l'invention se caractérisent, à l'état non réticulé, par une bonne faculté de mise en oeuvre (viscosité du mélange ML 1+4/100 °C < 60 ME) et, à l'état vulcanisé, par des propriétés mécaniques améliorées, en particulier en ce qui concerne le produit de la contrainte de traction pour un allongement de 100 % et de l'allongement à la rupture (S100 x D), ainsi que par une résistance accrue à la traction. Par ailleurs, les vulcanisats produits à partir des mélanges de caoutchouc selon l'invention présentent une densité réduite, ce qui se répercute de façon avantageuse sur le poids des corps en caoutchouc fabriqués à partir de ces mélanges de caoutchouc. Ces vulcanisats sont adaptés pour la fabrication d'articles techniques en caoutchouc et pour des composants de pneus.

Abstract: Time span for integration of signals lies between minimum and maximum values. If the time between signal impulses is less than the minimum integration time then the measurement value is calculated using measurement values integrated over this minimum time. If it is greater than the minimum time and less than the maximum time it is integrated until the first signal pulse after the end of the maximum integration time is reached. An Independent claim is also included for a method for processing a measurement signal in the form of a series of measurement pulses.

Abstract: A power cord retaining device for a portable AC powered tool. A retaining member holds the power cord plug engaged with a mating AC power jack in the housing of the power tool. The retaining member moves within the housing of the power tool from an unlocked position to a locked position. In one embodiment the retaining member slides within the housing of the power tool. In an alternative embodiment the retaining member rotates within the housing of the power tool. In the locked position the power cord plug is held in place engaged with the mating power jack in the housing of the power tool. In one embodiment a release member having a biasing element locks the retaining member in place until it is manually unlocked by the user thereby permitting the retaining member to be moved away from the power jack to permit removal of the plug from the power jack. Another alternative embodiment incorporates a retaining member which is biased into engagement with a release housing portion of the power tool housing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing asynchronous object transfers over multiple wireless networks. At a device, each received object is detected and parsed to extract identifying information such as sender and object type. Each object is stored in a temporary storage without being processed by any application of the device. The user is prompted to either accept or reject each object, one at a time or all together. Each accepted object is persistently stored on the device and processed by an application that is associated with the type of object. Rejected objects are deleted from the temporary storage and are not persistently stored on the device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ink retaining flexible polyurethane foam is prepared by reacting a polyether polyol with from 50 to 80 parts by weight, based on the weight of polyol, of a polyisocyanate component having one or a mixture of methylene diisocyanates. The foam has pore sizes above 70 pores per linear inch, preferably in the range of 70 to 90 pores per linear inch in an uncompressed state. The foam is reticulated to improve liquid holding capacity, and, depending upon cell size, compressed into a container. The foam absorbs and retains ink, and is resistant against attack from ink, producing less than 2.0% solvent extractables. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a packaging and/or transport unit for plate-shaped insulating material consisting of mineral fibres. A plurality of plates consisting of insulating material are arranged in such a way that their large surfaces are superimposed, forming a pile. The surfaces of the insulating plates in the pile are oriented in a horizontal and/or vertical direction, and the insulating plates of the pile are surrounded by a packaging and compressed. The invention also relates to a packaging and/or transport unit for plate-shaped insulating material consisting of mineral fibres, which are collected together in a pile and surrounded by a packaging, the large surfaces of the insulating plates in the pile being superimposed in a vertical and/or horizontal direction. The aim of the invention is to develop a method for producing a packaging and/or transport unit and/or to develop one such packaging and/or transport unit, in such a way that it is especially easy to handle and has sufficient stability. To this end, the individual insulating plates of a pile are compressed before being arranged in the pile, and are then decompressed in a controlled manner, in such a way that the tension caused in the pile by means of the packaging is essentially evenly distributed over all of the elastified insulating plates arranged in the pile.

Abstract: A method for providing a mechanical/electrical interconnection between two circuit boards, and the interconnection components required therefore, include a pin and socket each having a tail portion, a shoulder portion and a head portion. The tail portion of the pin is sized so as to fit into a plated through hole of the first board, the head portion is sized so as to allow an automated device to capture the head portion and to rest on top of the plated through hole when inserted therein, and the shoulder portion is sized in relation to the plated through hole so as to rest inside the plated through hole and to allow a predetermined amount of solder to flow under the head portion and down into the plated through hole, but not as far down as the tail portion, thereby assisting in centering the pin in the through hole. Upon heating to a solder reflow temperature, a ring of solder, around the periphery of the head portion of the pin and the shoulder portion of the socket, flows under the head of the pin and the shoulder of the socket, thereby forming a soldered electrical connection between the pin and the first board, and the socket and the second board. By aligning the pin with the socket and inserting the tail portion of the pin into the cavity of the socket, a separable reliable mechanical and electrical interconnection is formed between the first board and the second board.

Abstract: An ECC block is constituted by RS(248,216,33). Of a data length of 216 bytes (symbols), only 16 bytes are allocated to BCA data and the remaining 200 bytes are used for fixed data having a predetermined value. Using the fixed data of 200 bytes and the BCA data of 16 bytes, parities of 32 bytes (symbols) are calculated. Only the BCA data of 16 bytes and the parities of the former 16 bytes of the 32-byte parities, that is, a total of 32 bytes only, are recorded in a burst cutting area of an optical disc. In decoding, error correction processing is carried out by using the fixed data of 200 bytes. The unrecorded parities of 16 bytes are processed as having been erased. Thus, the error correction capability in a burst cutting area of an optical disc can be improved.
