Abstract: A stent (220) made of a shape memory alloy, such as nitinol, comprises a coiled wire having at least one section wound in one sense and at least one section wound in the opposite sense. The stent (220) is deployed by being tightly wound on a catheter (24) and immobilized thereon at its respective end points (42) as well as at at least one intermediate point, such as points (140) where the winding changes direction. The immobilization may be by means of threads (28) engaged by wires (132, 133) through bores (232, 233) in the catheter interior. These threads (28) can be selectively released by successive removal of the wires (132, 133) so that the intermediate points (142) of the stent, for example, may be released before the end points (42) thereof. The threads (28) can alternatively be released by melting upon heating, or by breaking e.g. by using electrically conducive wires and applying current thereto. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for diagnosing the presence and location of faults within a vehicle's electrical system includes a signal generator for generating an a.c. test signal; a switching circuit connected to an interface between the system's ECU and the system's components for selectively and sequentially applying the a.c. test signal into each electrical lead therein; and a first detector connected to the system's common ground for detecting the system's response to the applied signals, thereby obtaining a set of transitory characteristics for the vehicle's electrical system. The apparatus further includes an EPROM within which a set of reference characteristics for the vehicle's electrical system is stored; a comparator means for comparing the detected transitory characteristics with the stored set of reference characteristics; and a diagnostic processor responsive to the comparator means for diagnosing the presence of a fault when the detected transitory characteristics of the vehicle's electrical system deviate significantly from the stored set of reference characteristics therefor. Upon diagnosing the presence of a fault within the vehicle's electrical system, a d.c. test signal is injected under the control of the diagnostic processor using the switching circuit only into the lead or leads of the interface deemed responsible for the deviant system output. A second detector likewise connected by the switching means only to those leads deemed responsible for the deviant system output detects the reflection of the d.c. test signal for use by the diagnostic processor in determining the location of any existing fault relative to the interface.

Abstract: A paint drying oven for baking a paint film of a painted article for drying following a painting process. In a combustion type heating device for use in a conventional oven, combustion gas still holding a great quantity of heat which has just its heat exchanged with circulating air in an in-oven circulation air path is discharged outside the system, thus causing a great heat loss. In the present invention, air (PA) sent out from an air path (ip) inside a radiation means (7) is branched off a location of a radiating circulation air path (20) upstream of a connecting point of a fresh air path (18a) with the radiating circulation air path (20) and a branch air path (21) is provided for mixing this branched-off air (PA'') with circulation air (RA) in an in-oven circulation air path (9a). Thus, the provision of this branch air path (21) can make it possible for a radiating combustion type heating device (19a) to function also as an in-oven heating means (Ha), and therefore the problem inherent in the prior art can be solved. <IMAGE>
