Abstract: A medical device ( 10 ) includes a structure ( 12 ) adapted for introduction into a patient, the structure ( 12 ) being formed of a preferably non-porous base material ( 14 ) having a roughened or textured surface ( 16 ). The structure ( 12 ) is conveniently configured as a vascular stent with a base material ( 14 ) of stainless steel, nitinol or another suitable material. The medical device ( 10 ) also includes a layer ( 18 ) of a bioactive material posited directly upon the roughened or textured surface ( 16 ) of the base material ( 14 ) of the structure ( 12 ). The surface ( 16 ) of the base material ( 14 ) is roughened or textured by etching or by abrasion with sodium bicarbonate or another suitable grit. A preferred roughened or textured surface ( 16 ) is thought to have a mean surface roughness of about 10 muin. (about 250 nm) and a surface roughness range between about 1 muin. and about 100 muin. (about 25 nm and about 2.5 mum). The particularly preferred use of sodium bicarbonate as the abrasive to provide roughness or texture to the surface ( 16 ) of the base material ( 14 ) of the structure ( 12 ) is additionally advantageous in the low toxicity of the sodium bicarbonate to production workers, the ease of product and waste cleanup, and the biocompatibility of any residual sodium bicarbonate.

The connector (20) also includes a housing (22) having a central bore (38) extending therethrough in which the ferrule assembly is located. The housing (22) has at least one tuning arm (42) within the bore (38) for engaging the ferrule assembly, and the tuning arm (42) allows the ferrule assembly to be tuned inside the housing (22) without disengaging the ferrule assembly from the tuning arm (42). A method of assembling a tunable fiber optic connector is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A decoding scheme for determining the information within a coded transmission includes a spherical decoder candidate search that reduces the number of candidate symbol combinations from a much larger number of possibly transmitted combinations. In one example, the spherical decoder (24) uses an upper triangular matrix (U) representation of the channel matrix (H) as part of a recursive, cumulative cost function that provides the results of the candidate search. The candidate search includes considering symbols in a hierarchy or tree structure (32) that represents the possibly transmitted combinations. The cost function incrementally accumulates a cost of a possible combination as the search progresses through the hierarchy. As soon as a symbol is determined to not be a valid candidate, all possible combinations including that symbol are discarded without considering them, directly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a monitoring unit and method which counts a number of qualified clusters of a selected event type based on a size threshold, granularity threshold, and distance threshold time. In one embodiment, a qualified cluster is a cluster which meets both the size threshold and granularity threshold. In one embodiment, a qualified cluster is detected and counted by the cluster counter if it occurs at least the distance threshold time after a previous counted qualified cluster. For example, in one implementation, the performance monitor waits until a distance threshold time expires prior to detecting a next qualified cluster. Alternatively, all qualified clusters are detected where the cluster counter counts a qualified cluster only if it occurs at least the distance threshold time after a previous qualified cluster, regardless of whether it was counted by the cluster counter or not.

Abstract: An authorization system for a firearm ( 10 ) includes an authorizing device ( 32 ) worn by the authorized user, and a firearm ( 10 ) with a fire control system, a computer controller ( 28 ), and a piezo-electric disabler ( 60 ). The computer controller ( 28 ) communicates with the authorizing device ( 32 ), and if no authorizing signal is received from the authorizing device, sends an electric output signal to the disabler ( 60 ) to prevent the fire control system from allowing the firearm to fire. The disabler, upon application of the electrical signal from the computer controller, cams the rearward moving trigger bar ( 52 ) of the fire control system clear of the hammer link ( 54 ) to disrupt the fire control system. Consequently, the firearm ( 10 ) will not fire.

Abstract: The present invention provides, in a vehicular power transmitting apparatus including a differential portion electrically controlled, a control device which can quickly decrease the engine rotation speed, even if the operational state of an electric motor is limited. An engine-stop controlling means (112) includes limiting means for limiting the differential state of a differential portion (11) by a switching brake (B0) and a switching clutch (C0) when the operational state of a first electric motor (M1) is limited. Therefore, a torque in a direction for decreasing a rotation speed (NE) of an engine (8) is applied by limiting the differential state of the differential portion (11), for example, in a vehicle stopped state. As a result, the rotation speed (NE) of the engine (8) is quickly decreased to pass through a resonance point in a short time, whereby occurrence of resonance phenomena can be prevented.
