Patent EP-0883975-B1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHOO HERMANNUS FRANCISCUS MAR
IPC: C09K11/06

Abstract: The invention relates to an organic electroluminescent device and a method of manufacturing such a device. By patterned exposure of an alkylatable-compound-containing organic layer of the device to an alkylating agent, a device is obtained which, in operation, exhibits patterned light emission, without it being necessary to structure the electrode layers. A salt is locally formed by means of alkylating in accordance with a pattern. If the salt contains ions which can move under the influence of an electric field, the threshold voltage necessary to produce light emission is reduced.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing the interference experienced by sensitive electronic devices, such as hearing aids, operative in the vicinity of CDMA user communication devices. A transmitter of the communications device is configured to transmit signal power substantially continuously at a full rate power level irrespective of the variable data rate at which the transmitter would otherwise be operative. In a first embodiment, a variable rate vocoder within the transmitter is directed to perform full-rate vocoding, irrespective of an instantaneous level of user speech. In a second embodiment, a microprocessor builds full-rate frames using repeated versions of code symbols generated by the vocoder. In a third embodiment, the microprocessor builds full rate frames by generating signaling bits of a predetermined pattern to pad otherwise non-full frames.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for delivering and installing a new length of tubing between two sections of a patient's existing body organ tubing and at least partly outside of that existing structure. For example, the new length of tubing may be for the purpose of providing the patient with a coronary bypass. The new tubing may be an artificial graft, a natural graft (harvested elsewhere from the patient), or both. The new tubing is delivered to and installed at the operative site primarily by working through the patient's existing tubular body organ structure. This avoids the need for any significant surgery on the patient. The artificial grafts may have shapes other than tubular. Certain procedural and apparatus aspects of the invention have uses other than in connection with grafting in general or tubular grafting in particular.
