Abstract: A permanent, biocompatible material for soft tissue augmentation. The biocompatible material comprises a matrix of smooth, round, finely divided, substantially spherical particles of a biocompatible ceramic material, close to or in contact with each other, which provide a scaffold or lattice for autogenous, three dimensional, randomly oriented, non-scar soft tissue growth at the augmentation site. The augmentation material can be homogeneously suspended in a biocompatible, resorbable lubricious gel carrier comprising a polysaccharide. This serves to improve the delivery of the augmentation material by injection to the tissue site where augmentation is desired. The augmentation material is especially suitable for urethral sphincter augmentation, for treatment of incontinence, for filling soft tissue voids, for creating soft tissue blebs, for the treatment of unilateral vocal cord paralysis, and for mammary implants. It can be injected intradermally, subcutaneously or can be implanted.

Abstract: Faults on power lines are detected by measuring the voltage and current at one end of a power line and uses these measurements, together with values of series and shunt parameters of the line, to calculate values of voltage and current at an intermediate point on the line - the so-called "reach point". At least the calculated voltage is used to determine whether a fault lies within a particular zone on the line. The calculation utilizes a value of a derivative of said measured current with respect to time and is able to take into account the sectioning of a line into discrete lengths corresponding to, for example, overhead and cable sections. To increase accuracy, the line or each discrete section of the line is conceptually divided into subsections each having their own parameter values. In a second aspect of the invention, detection of whether a fault lies within a particular zone involves the measurement of first-end voltage and current both before and after the fault, the calculation of the complex impedance between an intermediate point of the line and a reference point, normally earth, using these measured values and values relating to line parameters and to a source impedance of the second end of the line, and the determination of the sign of the complex impedance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The technique of the present invention enables a full closed position of an accelerator pedal to be learnt with a high accuracy. More specifically the arrangement of the invention effectively prevents the full closed position of the accelerator pedal from being mistakenly learnt and quickly changes a current full closed position of the accelerator pedal to a new, more appropriate full closed position. In a system of the present invention, a master controller updates a full-closed position accelerator opening &thetas;closed when an accelerator open flag Fopen is set ON and when a current accelerator opening &thetas;n is less than a learning permission accelerator opening &thetas;lok and monotonously decreases to be converged. The master controller sets the converged accelerator opening &thetas;n to a new full-closed position accelerator opening &thetas;closed when the converged accelerator opening &thetas;n is greater than a current full-closed position accelerator opening &thetas;closed. The master controller sets a remainder obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the current full-closed position accelerator opening &thetas;closed to the new full-closed position accelerator opening &thetas;closed when the converged accelerator opening &thetas;n is not greater than the current full-closed position accelerator opening &thetas;closed. <IMAGE>
