Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent (10) for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery, and a method for making it from a single length of tubing. The stent (10) consists of a plurality of radially expandable cylindrical elements (12) generally aligned on a common axis and interconnected by one or more interconnective elements (13). The individual radially expandable cylindrical elements (12) consist of ribbon-like material disposed in an undulating pattern. The stents (10) are made by coating a length of tubing (21) with an etchant-resistive material and then selectively removing portions of the coating to form a pattern for the stent (10) on the tubing (21) to expose the portions of the tubing to be removed. This may be done by machine-controlled activation and relative positioning of a laser (24) in conjunction with the coated tubing (21). After the patterning of the tubing (21), the stent (10) is formed by removing exposed portions of the tubing (21) by an etching process.

Abstract: Driver distraction in a motor vehicle is assessed by capacitively detecting the driver's head pose relative to the forward direction of vehicle motion. A symmetrical array of sensor electrodes (A-H) is disposed in the cockpit ceiling (22) above the driver's head (24), and pairs of electrodes (A/E, B/F, C/G, D/H) disposed along varying axes of rotation (30-36) with respect to the forward direction are successively activated for capacitance measurement. The capacitance measurements are combined to form a signal whose strength depends on the degree of alignment between the driver's head (24) (i.e., the head pose) and the respective axes of rotation (30-36), and the driver's head pose is calculated to assess driver distraction.

Abstract: In a computerized method for adherence to physical restrictions in the construction of an ITE hearing aid, each component to be placed in the shell of the hearing aid has a collision plot associated therewith. The collision plot is generated as a scatter plot by measurement and simulation, and represents the physical extent of the influence of a particular property of the component on other components. When virtual representations of the respective components are moved relative to another in the e-detailing software for determining the physical positions of the components in the ITE hearing aid, the collision plot for a given component is visually displayed, so that it can easily be seen when another component invades that collision plot, thereby representing an unacceptably close relative position of the two components.

Abstract: A program circuit (1) activates a pass signal (PASZ) when a first program unit (FS) is programmed. The first program unit (FS) is programmed when a test of an internal circuit (4) is passed. A mode setting circuit (2) switches an operation mode to a normal operation mode or a test mode by external control. A state machine (3) allows a partial circuit (4a) of the internal circuit (4) to perform an unusual operation different from a normal operation when the pass signal (PASZ) is inactivated during the normal operation mode. By recognizing the unusual operation during the normal operation mode, it can be easily recognized that a semiconductor integrated circuit is bad. Since a failure can be recognized without shifting to the test mode, for example, a user who purchases the semiconductor integrated circuit can also easily recognize the failure.

Abstract: A correlation function peak finding method for an image correlation displacement sensing system is provided. The method may include capturing a reference image (305) and a displaced image (310), and searching (315) for an initial peak correlation function value point (CFVP) with pixel-level resolution based on correlating the reference image and displaced images at a plurality of offset positions. Then a complete set of CFVPs may be determined (320) at each offset position in an analysis region surrounding the initial peak CFVP. Then a preliminary correlation function peak location is estimated (350) with sub-pixel resolution, based on CFVPs included in the analysis region. Finally, curve-fitting operations are performed (360) to estimate a final correlation function peak location with sub-pixel accuracy, wherein the curve-fitting operations apply a windowing function and/or a set of weighting factors that is/are located within sub-pixel resolution based on the preliminary sub-pixel correlation function peak location.

Abstract: Techniques for using multiple modulation schemes for a single packet are described. Each data packet is processed and transmitted in up to T blocks, where T > 1. Multiple modulation schemes are used for the T blocks to achieve good performance. A transmitter encodes a data packet to generate code bits. The transmitter then forms a block of code bits with the code bits generated for the packet, determines the modulation scheme to use for the block (e.g., based on a mode/rate selected for the packet), maps the code bits for the block based on the modulation scheme to obtain data symbols, and processes and transmits the block of data symbols to a receiver. The transmitter generates and transmits another block in similar manner until the data packet is decoded correctly or all T blocks have been transmitted. The receiver performs the complementary processing to receive and decode the packet.
