Patent EP-1158407-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SUZUKI KATSUYOSHI
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2001-02-16
Abstract: RAID information and physical position information
of hard disk units are managed by a disk controller in a
mapped fashion. When the physical position of the hard
disk units is changed, the information mapping is retried.
Further, the positional information of the hard disk units
accommodated in a disk array system under the
administration of the disk controller, is calculated so as
to form n-dimensional coordinate system information, and
the resulting information is stored in each of the hard
disk units. When the hard disk units are inserted into the
disk array system, the n-dimensional coordinate system
information is read from each hard disk unit. If it is
detected that there is difference from the current
coordinate system information, then information before
removal and that after the insertion are compared with each
other and a data link is reconstructed.

Abstract: A catheter introducing system (10) includes an introducer catheter (12) comprising a flexible sheath (16) having a hemostasis valve (18) and an obturator (14) having a steering mechanism operated by a proximal actuator handle (22). The catheter introducer system will usually be introduced with the obturator inside of the flexible sheath so that the obturator can effect steering by laterally deflecting the distal end of the combined sheath and obturator. Such catheter introducing systems are particularly useful for large diameter sheaths which are not readily introduced over guide wires. A first exemplary hemostasis valve comprises a compressed foam insert having an axial lumen therein. A second exemplary hemostasis valve comprises an elastomeric insert which receives and seals over the catheter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Optical mirror elements for high bandwidth free space optical communication are produced by an electroforming replication technique. Onto the precision surface of a mandrel that is a negative of the required optical surface a layer of metal is deposited forming an exact copy of the mandrel surface and is then separated to form the required optical element. During the production process the mandrel may be coated with a variety of materials that are then separated together with the electrofomed optical element during the release step to form a monolithic structure that includes a reflective coating. The mandrel remains unchanged by the process and can then be re-used. The high cost of conventional polishing techniques is therefore limited to the production of the mandrel. The replication process results in the production of low cost optical elements suitable for high bandwidth free space optical data transmission. <IMAGE>
