Title: Balloon catheter
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1988-11-29
Abstract: An inflatable medical balloon is formed by fabricating a tubular preform having a tapered region at the end of the portion where the main body of the balloon will form to enable the corresponding transition section of the blown balloon to have a separately controllable thickness profile. The preferred method includes providing a tube of a selected resin of wall thickness and diameter suitable for being formed into a balloon, and selectively heating to drawing temperature a defined region of the tube at one or both ends of the portion of the tube from which the balloon is to be formed. Tension is applied in opposite directions to respective ends of the heated region to draw the region to a smaller diameter, thereby providing a preform having, at the end of the portion of the tube, a tapered, relatively small diameter region of material that has substantially no crystallization or molecular orientation. In preferred embodiments a tapered region is provided at both ends of the portion in which the main body of the balloon is to be formed. Thereafter the tubular preform is heated to blowing temperature and, while heated, a balloon is formed by drawing and blowing the preform including the tapered regions. The balloon is mounted to form a balloon catheter device. A dilatation balloon catheter, is also described having wall thickness in the transition region less than 0.001 inch.

Title: Catalyst for olefin polymerization
IPC: C08F4/64
Filed: 1989-08-21
Abstract: This invention provides new supported catalyst 
compositions for the polymerization of 1-olefins, together 
with processes for preparing and using the catalysts. 
The catalyst compositions include two catalyst components. 
The first catalyst component is formed by reacting a 
halogen-containing compound of the formula: H a M¹X¹ b R¹  (c-b-a)  
wherein M¹ is boron, carbon, silicon or mixtures thereof; 
X¹ is Cl, Br or mixtures thereof; R¹ is a hydrocarbyl or 
alkoxy radical; with a mixture produced by contacting a 
finely divided porous inorganic oxide support in an inert 
solvent with a solution made by combining a magnesium 
dihydrocarbyloxide dissolved in an inert solvent, and of 
the formula: Mg(OR²)₂ wherein R² is a hydrocarbyl radical, 
with a transition metal hydrocarbyloxide of the formula: 
M²(OR³) y  wherein M² is a transition metal from Group IVB, 
VB, and VIB of the Periodic Table; and R³ is a hydrocarbyl 
radical. The second catalyst component of the new 
catalyst compositions is an organometal compound of the 
formula: M³R⁴ e-f X f  wherein M³ is aluminum, magnesium, zinc 
or mixtures thereof; R⁴ is a saturated hydrocarbyl 
radical; X is hydrogen, halogen or an alkoxy. In a 
preferred aspect of the invention, the solution made by 
combining the magnesium 
dihydrocarbyloxide, dissolved in an inert solvent, with 
the transition metal hydrocarbyloxide, is reacted with a 
carboxylic acid derivative, of the formula R⁵COZ, wherein 
R⁵ is a hydrocarbyl radical and Z is a halogen atom or an 
alkoxy radical. An important characteristic of this 
invention is that the new catalyst compositions give 
significantly higher hydrogen and comonomer responses and 
greater productivity with larger average particle size and 
higher bulk density than with at least certain state of 
the art catalysts.

Title: Sensors using vibrating elements
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 1989-09-28
Abstract: A solid state sensor, micromachined in 
silicon, comprises first and second beams which can be 
optically excited into resonant vibration. The first 
beam is arranged to be acted upon by a diaphragm, so 
that the tension in it, and therefore its resonant 
frequency, is affected by the pressure applied to the 
diaphragm. The second beam is provided for 
temperature correction purposes, and to this end is 
positioned close to the first beam but free at one 
end, so that it is insensitive to the pressure applied 
to the diaphragm, while being subject to the same 
temperature variations as the first beam. 
Additionally, the second beam is positioned 
sufficiently closely to the first beam that it can be 
optically excited simultaneously with the first beam 
via a single optical fibre.

Title: Data recording medium and data recording and reproducing apparatus
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 1991-01-17
Abstract: A method and means is described wherein servo sectors (30) written on a disk (50) (or servo sections written on a tape) are equally spaced on a given track and read during seek, settle and track following operations. An algorithm is used to determine the allowable time separation between servo sectors (30) (or sections) on a track and lengths of associated data sections, such as data sectors or variable length records, that may be accommodated on the disk or tape in such manner that each of the servo sectors (or sections) equally spaced on a given track is located within a data field (27 min ) of a data sector (M) or within an identification region (22 min ) or immediately after an address indicating mark (52) (such as address mark or index mark). The rate at which the servo sector (or section) is sampled is constant and independent of the number and lengths of the data sections. As a result of this independent relationship, this technique is suitable for CLD recording, to banded disks using sectored servo as in conventional FBA, and also even to non-sectored architectures, such as count-key-data (CKD), wherein the data is written in records of variable length, and to tape drives formatted in FBA of CKD. <IMAGE>

Title: Duplicated-memory synchronization arrangement
IPC: G06F11/16
Filed: 1992-07-23
Abstract: A shared-buffer-memory-based ATM switch module (1) is duplicated (2) and operates in active-standby mode for fault-tolerance. Following failure and repair of a module, buffer memory (12) contents of the two modules are resynchronized as follows. At the time of commencing the synchronizing, contents of the memory of the standby, repaired, module are cleared, all writes to the active module's memory also commence to be made to the standby module's memory, and track begins to be kept of overwriting of the contents of the active module's memory that existed at the time of commencing the synchronizing. This is done by a function which sets a flag (64) in a queue-length-counter monitor (60) for every active-module queue-length counter (200) that reaches a count of zero to indicate that its corresponding buffer-memory queue (100) has been emptied. When all monitor flags have been set in response to each queue-length counter having reached a count of zero, it indicates that the original contents of the active module's memory have been overwritten and the memories again have identical contents, and consequently that resynchronization of the two memories has been achieved and fault-tolerance has been re-established. <IMAGE>
