Patent EP-1531740-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RESSEMANN THOMAS V
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: An evacuation sheath assembly and method of treating occluded vessels which reduces the risk of distal embolization during vascular interventions is provided. The evacuation sheath assembly includes an elongated tube defining an evacuation lumen having proximal and distal ends. A proximal sealing surface is provided on a proximal portion of the tube and is configured to form a seal with a lumen of a guided catheter. A distal sealing surface is provided on a distal portion of the tube and is configured to form a seal with a blood vessel. Obturator assemblies and infusion catheter assemblies are provided to be used with the evacuation sheath assembly. A method of treatment of a blood vessel using the evacuation sheath assembly includes advancing the evacuation sheath assembly into the blood vessel through a guide catheter. Normal antegrade blood flow in the blood vessel proximate to the stenosis is stopped and the stenosis is treated. Retrograde blood flow is induced within the blood vessel to carry embolic material dislodged during treating into the evacuation sheath assembly. If necessary to increase retrograde flow, the coronary sinus may be at least partially occluded. Alternatively, antegrade flow may be permitted while flow is occluded at the treatment site.

Title: Improving transient performance of low bit rate audio coding systems by reducing pre-noise
Inventor: CROCKETT BRETT G
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: Distortion artifacts preceding a signal transient in an audio signal stream processed by a transform-based low-bit-rate audio coding system employing coding blocks are reduced by detecting a transient in the audio signal stream and shifting the temporal relationship of the transient with respect to the coding blocks such that the time duration of the distortion artifacts is reduced. The audio data is time scaled in such a way that the transients are temporally repositioned prior to quantization in a transform-based low-bit-rate audio encoder so as to reduce the amount of pre-noise in the decoded audio signal. Alternatively, or in addition, in a transform-based low-bit-rate audio coding system, a transient in the audio signal stream is detected and a portion of the distortion artifacts are time compressed such that the time duration of the distortion artifacts is reduced.

Abstract: A connector uses a plurality of individual terminal assemblies to form a high-density connector. The terminal assemblies all have insulative body portions that support arrays of signal terminals and ground terminals or ground members. The terminals all have their own associated body portions which are supported by the insulative body portions and contact portions that extend out from a front, or mating face, of the assemblies. The terminal contact portions and include flexing portions formed therewith which are disposed between the terminal body and contact portions. The terminals further include insulative support members that are applied to the terminals and which serve to define the contact and flexing portions of the terminals. The support members are fixed within a carrier, such as a shroud member, which is not attached to any one portion of the connector. The support members permit the terminals and shroud to move as a single unit and flex in different directions, relative to the insulative body portions that support the terminals.
