Inventor: ALCIME RYSLER
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1996-10-29
Abstract: An endoluminal graft which is both expandable and supportive is provided in a form suitable for use in a branched body vessel location. The graft expands between a first diameter and a second, larger diameter. The support component is an expandable stent endoprosthesis. A liner is applied to the endoprosthesis in the form of a compliant wall material that is porous and biocompatible in order to allow normal cellular invasion upon implantation, without stenosis, when the expandable and supportive graft is at its second diameter.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR97/00546 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 22, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 22, 1999 PCT Filed Mar. 27, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/37792 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 16, 1997This mold consists of a cooled mold body (1), made of copper or a copper alloy, on which sits a refractory feed head (2) and a purge slit (8) is made at the interface between said mold body and said feed head, via which a stream of a waste inert gas is injected around the internal perimeter of the mold. The slit is supplied via a plenum chamber (13) made within the mold, the plenum chamber being itself supplied with gas via inlets (12) which connect it to a pressurized-gas supply (20). The injection slit (8) is segmented around the mold perimeter with the aid of separating means (21) which also segment the plenum chamber into compartments (13', 13'', etc.) which are juxtaposed around the perimeter of the mold so that an inlet (12) runs out into each compartment thus formed. Thus, a plurality of elementary circuits (12'- 13''- 8'), which are mounted "in parallel" with respect to a single pressure chamber (20), are produced so that, overall, the injection of gas around the perimeter of the mold becomes insensitive to local perturbations such as local variations in the thickness of the slit.

Title: A dynamically scaleable conference system
Inventor: CORN STEVEN JEFFREY
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 1999-03-30
Abstract: A bridging system comprises a router and a number of multipoint servers. For each user requesting to join a particular conference, the router routes the call to a particular server and, if necessary, causes additional servers to be added to increase the capacity for that conference. For example, upon receipt of a user request to join a conference associated with server A, the router first interrogates server A as to current spare capacity. If server A has additional capacity, the router routes the user to server A. However, if server A can not accommodate the user, the router causes server A  to invite an additional server - server B - to join the conference. After server B joins the conference, the router routes the user to server B.

Title: Lamp for a vehicle
Inventor: MIYOKAWA TOSHIO
IPC: F21S8/10
Filed: 1999-04-15
Abstract: A lamp for vehicle that includes a light source, a housing, a reflector and a lens is disclosed. The lens is made by the process that includes the steps of (a) assuming an imaginary plane with a cross hatching pattern made of crossing groups of plural lines disposed in parallel at a constant pitch, (b) deforming the imaginary plane by a desired shape consisting of a convex surface, a concave surface or a combination of both surfaces, so that the cross hatching pattern is deformed into a process surface, and (c) processing a lens cut in accordance with the cross hatching pattern when the process surface is orthographically projected onto the lens surface. The deformation given to the imaginary plane is performed so that the maximum pitch of the cross hatching pattern orthographically projected onto the lens surface is 1.5 times or more and 20 times or less the minimum pitch. The lens cut may have curvatures of the same diffusion coefficient regardless of the pitch of the cross hatching pattern. Alternatively, the lens cut may have a curvature whose diffusion coefficient becomes greater when the pitch of the cross hatching pattern becomes greater. A convex or concave rib can be formed as a discontinuous portion in at least a part of the substantial boundary between the process surface in which the cross hatching pattern of the lens surface is deformed and the process surface in which the cross hatching pattern is not is deformed.

Title: Articulating hinge covering door stop
Inventor: BECKER THEODORE A
IPC: F25D23/02
Filed: 1999-04-27
Abstract: The permissible degree of opening of a cabinet door is limited by the internegagement between a cover member for an upper door hinge and abutment structure carried by the door itself. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the abutment structure is defined by another cover member that is secured upon an upper portion of the door. The hinge cover member is provided with a tab that projects into a cavity or recessed section of the door cover member and a portion of this projecting tab is directly engaged by a portion of the door cover member to limit the permissible angular door movement. Furthermore, the hinge cover member is preferably mounted for movement relative to the cabinet. In the preferred embodiment, the hinge cover member is pivoted in direct response to engagement with the first abutment portion of the door cover member and the door is prevented from further pivotal movement when the first abutment portion of the door cover member engages a stop portion defined by the projecting tab of the hinge cover member.
