Title: Intraluminal prothesis attachment systems and methods
Inventor: BOLDUC LEE
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2002-11-29
Abstract: Systems and method implant prostheses in the body. The systems and method provide permanent attachment of the prosthesis in the body. The prosthesis can comprise, e.g., an endovascular graft, which can be deployed without damaging the native blood vessel in either an arterial or a venous system. The endovascular graft can comprise, e.g., a radially expanding vascular stent and/or a stent-graft. The graft can be placed in the vasculature, eg., to exclude or bridge an aneurysm, for example, an abdominal aortic aneurysms. The graft desirably adapts to change in aneurysm morphology and repairs the endovascular aneurysm. The fastening systems (27) and methods can be deployed through the vasculature and manipulated from outside the body, to deliver a fastener (28) to attach the graft to the vessel wall.

Title: Radar receiver having an even harmonic mixer with an anti-parallel diode pair
Inventor: KASHIWA TAKUO
IPC: G01S7/35
Filed: 2005-05-24
Abstract: A radar is disclosed including a transmitter circuit (10,Fig1), a receiver circuit (20,Fig1), an antenna (2,Fig1), and a circulator (3,Fig1). The receiver circuit (20,Fig1) includes a low noise amplifier (21,Fig2) which amplifies a received signal fed from the antenna through the circulator. A local oscillator (22,Fig2) provided in the receiver circuit generates a local oscillator signal of a frequency that is approximately half that of the received signal and the local oscillator signal is amplified by buffer amplifier (23,Fig2). An even harmonic mixer 24 including a pair of diodes connected in parallel but having reverse polarities is provided for mixing the received signal with the local oscillator signal output from the buffer amplifier (23,Fig2) to generate an intermediate frequency signal. The arrangement is particularly suited for reducing spurious emissions due to leakage of the local oscillator signal from the even harmonic mixer.

Title: Voice over internet protocol system with a redundant VoIP server
Inventor: MARSDEN STUART
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2006-11-17
Abstract: A VoIP system comprises a VoIP unit for connecting a handset to a network, a router (eg ADSL router 1, figure 1) for connection to the Internet and at least two VoIP servers 42, 43 on different ports. Upon detection of failure in the communications between the VoIP unit and a first VoIP server 42, the VoIP unit is arranged to switch to a different port and thus use a backup VoIP server 43. The VoIP unit may be arranged to periodically connect with a web server (12, fig.3) in order to receive updates for firmware or hardware, or for other types of requests, and it may also frequently contact the VoIP server over a selected port in order to keep port mapping alive (NAT keep-alive). Failure of communications between the VoIP unit and the VoIP server may thus be detected upon the condition that the web server continues to receive communications whilst the VoIP server does not. Detection of such a condition would suggest that the VoIP unit was powered up (since it was still communicating with the web server) but that communications on the first port were faulty. Switching from the first port to the second port may thus be used to circumvent this fault. The VoIP unit may be arranged to periodically alternate between the two servers, switching more frequently when further errors are detected. Alternatively, the VoIP unit may switch from a first to a second server during periods of time when the first server is known to perform backups.

Title: Adaptive command filtering for servomechanism control systems
Inventor: WATT DAVID
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2005-05-12
Abstract: Preferred embodiments of the invention implement techniques for modifying the command trajectory, the architecture of a servomechanism control system (10), or both, to reduce the servo error during and/or after the command trajectory. An iterative refinement procedure generates for use by the servomechanism control system a corrective input, du, which significantly reduces the error (e) between the desired (yd) and actual (y) servomechanism a control system outputs. In one embodiment, uniquely identified plant model is employed in the iterative refinement procedure to compute an approximate gradient that improves the performance and reliability of the refinement procedure. In another embodiment, the actual plant response is used in place of the identified model in the iterative refinement procedure. This is accomplished by time-reversing the stored error signal from a training run, before applying it to the plant (12) to generate an update to the corrective input signal du.

Once cooled, the containers are removed from the cooking pots and taken to a blast freezer where the bivalves are frozen in situ in the containers. Finally, the frozen bivalves are removed from the containers arid inspected before being packaged for distribution.

Title: Method of treating plant growth media with multi-branched wetting agents
Inventor: PETREA RANDY D
IPC: C09K17/14
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: Certain novel formulations of plant growth media additives that act in such a manner as to permit proper amounts of moisture to contact root systems in order to reduce hydrophobicity within said media. The inventive formulation comprising multi-branched surfactant compounds with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic constituents within each branch attached to a polyfunctional base compound permit effective moisture penetration through plant growth media for sustained seedling and plant growth therein. Such multi-branched wetting agents provide sustained moisture penetration over a sustained period of time, since the individual branches of such compounds may become dissociated from its base polyfunctional compound. Since such branches include both hydrophobic and hydrophilic constituents themselves, and thus act as wetting agents, even after degradation of the initial surfactant compound, repeated wetting and moisture penetration, at least, are permitted. Methods of treating plant growth media with such compounds and formulations thereof are also contemplated within this invention.
