Abstract: A intraluminal stent comprises a reticulated tube having an un-deployed diameter and expandable to an enlarged diameter. The tube includes a structural beam extending between first and second ends. The structural beam changes from a first geometry to a second geometry when the tube changes from the un-deployed diameter to the enlarged diameter. The structural beam includes first and second longitudinal elements each extending at least partially between the first and second ends and with a spacing between the first and second elements. Each of said first and second elements changes from the first geometry to the second geometry when the tube changes from the un-deployed diameter to the enlarged diameter for the spacing to remain substantially unchanged as the tube changes from the un-deployed diameter to the enlarged diameter.

Le deuxième mode de réalisation concerne des complexes formés à partir d'agents d'encapsulation moléculaires, tels que la cyclodextrine, et à partir de cyclopropène et ses dérivés, tels que le méthylcyclopropène, en plus du cyclopentadiène et du diazocyclopentadiène et ses dérivés, offrant ainsi un moyen pratique de stockage et de transport de ces composés capable d'empêcher la formation d'éthylène de réaction chez les plantes, ces composés étant constitués par des gaz réactifs fortement instables en raison de l'oxydation et d'autres réactions potentielles. Le troisième mode de réalisation concerne des procédés pratiques pour appliquer aux plantes ces composés capables d'empêcher la formation d'éthylène de réaction chez les plantes, afin de prolonger leur durée de vie.

Abstract: A fermentation device and a method for making a substance using the device are provided. The fermentation bung may have an outer plug that includes a central inner annular hole and a one or more holes surrounding the central hole, the outer plug fitting within a bung hole in a barrel in which a substance is going to be fermented. The device may further include an inner plug with a centrally extending stem that frictionally fits into the central inner annual hole of the outer plug to secure the inner plug into the outer plug and also have a top portion which covers the one or more holes surrounding the central hole. During the fermentation of the substance, the gases produced during fermentation may be vented through the device since the top portion of the inner plug may flex slightly to permit the escape of the gas. However, the device prevents any ambient air from entering the barrel since the top portion of the inner plug is covering the one or more holes.

Abstract: In a method of producing injection-molded parts, an injection mold has two mold halves and a melt feeding device for application of melt across the mold surface of a mold half, when the injection mold is open. The melt is pressed into all areas of the mold cavity, when closing the mold halves. In order to simplify the arrangement of the hot runners in the mold half, when different injection-molded parts are produced, it is proposed to apply the melt onto the mold surface by a hot runner plate which is positioned above the mold surface, whereby the hot runner plate has several melt nozzles in the form of needle seal nozzles which are operated and controlled depending on the profile required for the respective mold half.

Abstract: A system and method for enhancing knowledge discovery from data using multiple learning machines in general and multiple support vector machines in particular. Training data for a learning machine is pre-processed in order to add meaning thereto. Pre-processing data may involve transforming the data points and/or expanding the data points. By adding meaning to the data, the learning machine is provided with a greater amount of information for processing. With regard to support vector machines in particular, the greater the amount of information that is processed, the better generalizations about the data that may be derived. Multiple support vector machines, each comprising distinct kernels, are trained with the pre-processed training data and are tested with test data that is pre-processed in the same manner. The test outputs from multiple support vector machines are compared in order to determine which of the test outputs if any represents a optimal solution. Selection of one or more kernels may be adjusted and one or more support vector machines may be retrained and retested. Optimal solutions based on distinct input data sets may be combined to form a new input data set to be input into one or more additional support vector machine.
