Abstract: A unitary, flexible, substantially noncollapsible catheter tube (30) of biocompatible material is comprised of hard and soft regions. The hard regions can be ring shaped or helical. The hard regions (20) provide sufficient rigidity to the tube to present collapse under normal usage as the interior and exterior pressures vary. The soft regions (10) provide sufficient flexibility to allow contoured placement of the tube. The hard regions can be created by exposing a polymer in the tube to radiation. The hard regions can also be created by periodically adding a harder material to the tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing output video signals representative of a visual image, and applying them to the head of a person, in regions associated with the optic nerves, to enable the person to mentally visualise or recognize the image. 
     Image signals output by an image output device (10), such as a video camera, are modulated with low-frequency square waves output by square wave output and modulation circuits (12, 19). The modulated output is applied by electrodes (15) to portions of the temples, acted upon by the optic nerve, of a person's head. 
     If low-frequency square wave signals are applied to the temple portions, they are sensed by the optic nerve, and the person can mentally visualise or recognize a square screen of light, and scanning lines on that screen. For that reason, if video signals are applied after modification, e.g. modulation, with such low-frequency square wave signals, an image is directly sensed by the optic nerve, making it possible, not only for healthy persons, but also blind or partially sighted persons, to recognize the image, thus also making is possible to use the human body as a display.

Abstract: One surface at least has the same curve radii at the apex. The mean surface refraction value is dependent on the main curve radius at each point. Dependent on the distance of each point from the apex at a constant meridional angle, this value is the maximum or nil. This can be the same for both surfaces, which can be circular and symmetrical. One of the surfaces can have different effects at different sections, so that the lens has an astigmatic effect.

Abstract: A mobile, satellite-based communication system (20) includes a defined signaling arrangement developed from an analysis of factors including movement of mobile terminals (28), movement of the satellite (22), beam discrepancies and duration of the call to the mobile terminal (28) to set up a frame assignment plan for time division multiple access (TDMA) carriers and identifying permissible frame offset which can be accommodated throughout the entire transmission. As a result, timing and frequency references from a mobile to mobile command may be provided from a reference source (24) along with receive and transmit data communications without losing the command signals or the communication information and providing highly efficient use of each carriers time slots for receiving/transmitting communication signals. Similarly, the signaling arrangement permits an efficient frame structure and a time slot assignment plan that does not require enhanced equipment at the mobile terminal (28). Moreover, the signaling frame assignment is applicable to multibeam satellite-based mobile communication systems for use with communications between mobile terminals (28) and gateways (24, 20) as well as between mobile terminals (28).

Abstract: A flexible asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) transmitter is able to operate simultaneously with integrated services digital network (ISDN) terminal equipment (TE) using a common telephone line (18). The ADSL transmitter changes the frequency content of a frequency-encoded ADSL signal (104) so that its frequency content does not overlap the frequency content of the ISDN TE signal. A corresponding ADSL receiver located within a central office (CO) adapts to the changed frequency content, allowing the ADSL signal to be transmitted over the telephone line without substantial loss of signal integrity. In one embodiment, an ADSL transmitter (100) converts ADSL symbols making up the frequency-encoded ADSL signal (104) into a corresponding time domain signal. The transmitter (100) then interpolates the time domain signal and high pass filters the interpolated signal. This high pass filtered signal is then converted to analog form, bandpass filtered, and driven onto the telephone line (18).
