Title: Cannula stent
Inventor: HANSEN PALLE M
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: A stent ( 30 ) formed from cannula and having flexible segments ( 31 ) and high hoop strength segments ( 32 ) alternating therealong. Longitudinal struts or tie bars ( 41 ) interconnect the segments. Minimal length reduction of the strut occurs upon expansion. In the high hoop strength segment ( 32 ), struts ( 37 ) in a zig-zag configuration (Gianturco Z-stent) are initially parallel in the unexpanded strut condition. In the flexible segment ( 31 ), struts ( 58 ) extend from a respective C-shaped bend ( 59 ) to converge at the opposite ends thereof when unexpanded. In one embodiment, certain adjacent struts ( 39-41 ) of the hoop segment are spaced apart by elongated openings or gaps ( 46, 48 ) interposed therebetween and interconnected at their respective ends ( 42, 44 ) to form a T-shaped strut interconnection ( 45 ). The selected width ( 50, 51 ) of the first and third struts ( 54, 57 ) increases toward the ends ( 47, 48 ) of the elongated openings ( 46, 48 ) adjacent the strut interconnection ( 45 ). This strut width increase about one end of the strut significantly reduces the tensile strain exhibited about the opening end when the stent is radially expanded during manufacture. The tip length ( 52, 55 ) of the struts about the interconnection ( 45 ) is also adjusted (increased) along with the other C-shaped strut interconnections ( 59, 71 ) to further distribute the tensile strain developed during radial expansion.

Title: Device and method for melting a substance with the occurrence of a low level of contamination
Inventor: LEISTER MICHAEL
IPC: C03B5/18
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for melting, with the occurrence of a low level of contamination, a glass or glass-ceramic material that is highly pure, aggressive and/or has a high melting point. According to the invention, a melt is heated in a crucible or a melt-down skull crucible using high-frequency irradiation and is mixed or homogenized in the melt-down crucible. A gas nozzle is preferably provided on the bottom of the crucible out of which gas bubbles, e.g. oxygen bubbles (so called O2 bubbling) are discharged into the melt. This makes it possible to already achieve a surprising multiple utilization inside the melt-down skull crucible. Firstly, the unmelted quantity that falls, for example, from above into the melt in solid form is melted more quickly by the increased thorough mixing thereof with the liquid portion of the melt. Secondly, the temperature distribution of the melt is evened out. Thirdly, the different glass constituents are uniformly distributed or thoroughly mixed and, fourthly, the redox state of the glass can be adjusted.

Title: Auto-selection of SGMII or serdes pass-through modes
Inventor: HUFF GARY S
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a physical layer device ("PHY") in
an Ethernet network include methods and systems for detecting active link
partners and for selecting a mode of operation based on detected active link
partners, without user intervention. The PHY monitors fiber link media and
copper link media for active link partners. The PHY selects a mode of
operation according to detected active link partners. For example, a serial
gigabit media independent ("SGMII") mode of operation is selected when an
active copper link partner is detected and an active fiber link partner is not
detected. Similarly, a serialize/deserialize ("SerDes") pass-through mode of
operation is selected when an active fiber link partner is detected and an active
copper link partner is not detected. The PHY interfaces with the active copper
link partner when the SGMII mode of operation is selected. Conversely, the
PHY interfaces with the active fiber link partner when the SerDes pass-through
mode of operation is selected. The SGMII or SerDes pass-through
mode of operation can be prioritized for when active copper and fiber link
partners are detected. The prioritized mode can be user selectable or factory
set. The invention optionally powers down circuitry associated with an
unselected mode of operation.

Abstract: Words of an input string are morphologically analyzed to identify their alternative
base forms and parts of speech. The analyzed words of the input string are used to compile
the input string into a first finite-state network. The first finite-state network is matched with
a second finite-state network of multiword expressions to identify all subpaths of the first
finite-state network that match one or more complete paths in the second finite-state
network. Each matching subpath of the first finite-state network and path of the second
finite-state network identify a multiword expression in the input string. The morphological
analysis is performed without disambiguating words and without segmenting the input string
into sentences in the input string to compile the first finite-state network with at least one
path that identifies alternative base forms or parts of speech of a word in the input string.

Abstract: A waveform data processing apparatus has a bus (262) that
transfers data signals representative of waveform data. A
plurality of transmitting nodes (252,254,256,258,260) transmit the
data signals to the bus. A plurality of receiving nodes receive the
data signals from the bus. A clock generator (251) generates a word
clock signal at each sampling period. A controller is
responsive to the word clock signal for conducting a session
of transferring the data signals within a sampling period,
such that the transmitting nodes sequentially transmit the
data signals in an order predetermined by the controller so
as to avoid collision of the data signals within the sampling
period, and each of the receiving nodes selectively admits a
necessary one of the data signals outputted from the
transmitting nodes and processes the admitted data signal
within the sampling period.

The method includes receiving a plurality of velocity vector component values and velocity vector commands derived from either (1) a number of pilot operated controllers or (2) a commanded array of waypoints, which are used for fully automated flights, and a rotor speed reference value, which is decreased with increasing forward speed to unload the rotor, thereby permitting conditions for stopping the rotor in flight. Stabilization of the commanded velocity vector is achieved in all modes of flight using blended combinations of rotor swashplate controls and aerodynamic controls such as elevons, canards, rudders, and a horizontal tail. Stabilization to the commanded velocity vector includes a plurality of control constraints applied to the pilot stick controllers that prevent penetration of envelope limits.
