Patent EP-1470834-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COYLE NOEL
IPC: A61M29/02
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: A balloon catheter (100) includes a full length
inflation shaft (104) and a guidewire shaft (106) for fast
catheter and guidewire exchange. The proximal portions
of the inflation shaft and the guidewire shaft are
detached from one another. The detached proximal shaft
portions transition within a conversion portion (110) of
the catheter shaft and become coaxial within a distal
portion of the catheter shaft. The proximal portion of
the guidewire shaft may contain a continuous,
longitudinally extending slot (116) that acts as a guide
member or guidewire track. Alternatively, the proximal
portion of the guidewire shaft may be removable from the
catheter at a conversion joint via a snap-fit connection.
Both embodiments allow for catheter exchange
without removing the guidewire from a body lumen, or
allow guidewire exchange without removing the catheter
from the body lumen.

Abstract: Appareil et procédé de gestion de puissance dans un réseau local sans fil (WLAN) à ensemble de services de base indépendants (IBSS), remplaçant le message d'indication de trafic ad hoc (ATIM) et sa logique de commande associée par un protocole comportant une période de transmission de trame d'alerte de données (Data_Alert) ou une fenêtre d'alerte de données (Data_Alert) de longueur variable qui reçoit le trafic dans l'IBSS et qui est suivie par une période de transmission de trame de données, une trame spéciale de fin d'alerte (End_of_Alert), un long intervalle intertrame (LIFS) spécial pour la trame de fin d'alerte, et une nouvelle logique de commande. La trame de fin d'alerte présente une priorité moins importante dans un conflit se rapportant à un support avec une trame d'alerte de données; en d'autres termes, la trame d'alerte de données présente l'équivalent d'une priorité plus élevée, ce qui permet de maximiser le nombre d'alertes de données transmises dans l'intervalle de toute fenêtre d'alerte de données. Cette approche à la gestion de puissance permet d'attribuer de façon optimale le temps utilisé pour transmettre la trame d'alerte de données et la trame de données, et minimise ainsi la consommation de puissance par toutes les stations sans fil de l'IBSS.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif à silencieux et convertisseur catalytique, ainsi qu'un silencieux et un convertisseur catalytique. Chaque type de dispositif met en oeuvre un métal poreux pouvant fonctionner comme materiau d'isolation phonique pour le silencieux et comme substrat de revêtement catalysant pour le convertisseur catalytique. Pour une efficacité du substrat et une bonne isolation phonique, le métal poreux présente une densité des pores comprise entre 80 et 98 % et un diamètre des pores compris entre 50 et 1200µm. Le métal poreux, qui présente une résistance structurale, résiste aussi à la corrosion, à la chaleur et au choc dû au débit des gaz d'échappement. Il est en outre facile à fabriquer et bon marché. Pour la construction du silencieux et du convertisseur catalytique, la combinaison des deux dispositifs classiques en un seul appareil permet de réduire le coût de production et le coût d'installation. On réalise ainsi un dispositif à silencieux et convertisseur catalytique, ainsi qu'un silencieux et un convertisseur catalytique comprenant chacun un métal poreux fonctionnel qui présente de bonnes caractéristiques d'isolation phonique sur une large gamme de fréquences, élimine efficacement les contaminants de l'environnement provenant de l'échappement, est durable et convient pour une fabrication en série facile et bon marché.
