IPC: C04B35/593
Filed: 1995-09-15
Abstract: A method for the production of a high-strength
high-toughness silicon nitride sinter includes the steps
of mixing a silicon nitride powder with a sintering
additive, adding to the resultant mixture as seed
particles 0.1 to 10% by volume, based on the amount of the
mixture, of elongated single crystal β-silicon nitride
particles having a larger minor diameter than the average
particle diameter of the silicon nitride powder and having
an aspect ratio of at least 2, forming the resultant
mixture so as to orient the elongated single crystal β-silicon
nitride particles as seed particles in a specific
direction, and heating the green body to density it and
simultaneously induce epitaxial growth of single crystal
β-silicon nitride particles, and a high-strength, high-toughness
silicon nitride sinter obtained by the method.

Abstract: A two-dimensional code symbol for use in prepaid cards
comprises a plurality of square basic units (Figure 3).
For representation of information regarding numerals and
characters, each basic unit includes four square elements.
The four square elements have different sizes and are
disposed concentrically. Each side (a, b, c, d; a1, b1,
c1, d1) of the square element is selectively cut to
represent a binary digit, and the basic unit as a whole
represents, for example, a 16-digit binary number. Each
side of the element may be selectively cut in accordance
with coded information such as the Morse code. In this
case, the data compression ratio increases more. When in a
prepaid card, the two-dimensional code symbol is used to
represent the unit price of purchase of specific
merchandise or the unit price of payment, the basic unit
including only one square element is used. In this case,
basic units are printed on a prepaid card in the number
needed to indicate an issued amount of money, and a basic
unit(s) corresponding to a required amount of payment is
filled in to thereby make payment by the card.

programmer (38), includes image generators (24, 26) for generating multiple images on
a screen (16), each image corresponding to as representation of a parameter related to
the operation of the implant (38) or a cardiac function, and an indicia generator (27) for

parameters or functions could be actual, i.e., obtained from the implant (38) and/or the
patient's heart, or they can be simulated to provide the user an indication on how the
pacemaker will operate under these simulated conditions parameters.

einer flexiblen Leiterplatte und deren Kontaktierung mit allen Anschlußstellen erreicht. Die
Hermetisierung erfolgt durch Laminieren, wobei der Höhenausgleich der einzelnen
Schaltungsregionen durch den Einsatz von geometrisch vorgeformten Prepregs realisiert wird.

support electronics and mechanisms. An extension arm (13) positions a detector assembly (12) on a
side of the patient opposite to the source assembly and fixes the distance between the source
and detector assemblies (11,12). The source and detector assemblies (11,12) are capable of making dual
energy bone measurements. The source assembly (11), detector assembly (12) and extension arm (13) form
a gantry and the source assembly (11) and detector assembly (12) are confined to move in unison in a
vertical scanning motion. A drive mechanism (25) in conjunction with a precision guide rail (21)

Abstract: This is an artificial occlusion kit for implanting and retaining an artificial occlusion device in a body space adjacent to and extending from a body lumen in a mammal. The includes at least one occlusion device and a retaining device for blocking the migration of the occlusion device out of the occlusion site. The retaining device is radially expandable at a retaining site adjacent the body space to be occluded to a diameter that is sufficient to engage the body lumen wall at the retaining site and form a barrier across the entrance zone of the body space to be occluded. The expanded retaining device also forms a lumen for flow through body lumen at the retaining site. At least one semi-penetrable space may also be provided in the retaining device, allowing introduction of occlusion devices into the body space to be occluded, but preventing subsequent migration of the occlusion devices out of the body space. This semi-penetrable space may also be distensible to allow for delivery of occlusion devices therethrough. An introducer wire or a tapered-tip delivery catheter may be used to distend the distensible space and deliver the occlusion devices. The retaining device structure may further include a radiopaque metal wire wound into a primary helix over an inner core member made of a superelastic alloy of nickel and titanium. An implantable medical device assembly is also provided, having the structure described for the retaining device of the novel artificial occlusion kit, and which is attached to an elongate pusher via a sacrificial link that is electrolytically dissolvable. <IMAGE>

hydrogen to prevent formation of bubbles; it can be deposited with crystalline grain structures
permitting hydrogen to dissipate at a sufficient rate to prevent formation of bubbles; or its interfaces
