Title: Longitudinally flexible stent
Inventor: RICHTER JACOB
IPC: A61F2/01
Filed: 2004-12-21
Abstract: An intravascular stent especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portion. The stent retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The ste nt is formed of intertwined meander patterns forming triangular cells. The cell s are adapted to provide radial support, and also provide longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The cells also provide increase coverage of a vessel wall. Loops in the stent are disposed and adapted to cooperate, so th at after expansion of said stent within a curved lumen, the stent is curved and cells on the outside of the curve open in length, but narrow in width, where as cells on the inside of the curve shorten in length, but thicken in width to maintain a density of the stent element area which is much more constant tha n otherwise between the inside and outside of the curve. The stent also minimizes flaring out by eliminating free loops of the radially supporting circumferential bands of loops.

Title: An aqueous electrolyte mixture for mcfcs
Inventor: SABATTINI ANNALISA
IPC: H01M8/14
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrolytic mixture for molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). The carrier solution is constituted by one or more organic solvents and water, with an organic solvent percentage comprised of between 5%  and 80%. The electrolyte consists of a mixture of Li2CO3 and LiKCO3 in such stoichiometric ratios as to give the Li2CO3/K2CO3 62/38 eutectic mixture. The compound LiKCO3 has a solubility in water, like lithium carbonate, less than that of the potassium carbonate, which is normally found in MCFC electrolytic mixtures. This allows the resolution of the problem of electrolyte loss during the operation of the cell, due to the solubilisation of the same in water.

Inventor: AFTANAS JEFFREY M
IPC: B60R9/045
Filed: 2006-11-07
Abstract: A vehicle article carrier system having at least one single side releasable cross bar. The cross bar includes end support assemblies at opposite ends thereof.  Each end support assembly includes a pivotally mounted locking member which can be locked and unlocked-relative to an associated side rail. Both of the locking members can be locked and unlocked by a user manually engaging one of the locking members and pivotally moving it into an unlocked position. This causes simultaneous pivoting movement of the locking member at the opposite end of the cross bar so that both the locking members are simultaneously locked and unlocked from their respective side rails. When in the unlocked position, the cross bar can be lifted directly off of the side rails, thus eliminating the need for any disassembly of the side rails when the user desires to remove the cross bar entirely from the side rails.

Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided a method of analysis of the audience for channels selectable by a channel selector device for presentation on a presentation device, the channel selector device providing data indicating which channels are selected and the lengths of time for which selected channels remain selected. The data relating to the lengths of time for which channels remain selected is subject to a capping procedure, whereby the indicated length of time for which a channel remains selected is reduced to a capped maximum permitted length of time if the indicated length of time exceeds the maximum permitted length, to provide capped data. The capped data is employed to select, in dependence upon the indication of the channel selected and length of time for which the channel is selected, an array of probabilities of individuals' exposure (PIVs) to the presentation of the channel on a presentation device, for individuals of different demographies, whereby the data provided by the channel selector device can be resolved into data estimating the likelihood of individuals of different demographies participating in the audience.
