Inventor: PINCHASIK GREGORY
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2001-10-29
Abstract: An intravascular stent (208) especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portions (210).
The stent (208) retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The stent (208) includes a plurality
of first circumferential bands containing a pattern (301) of loops (304,306) at a first frequency
and a plurality of second circumferential bands containing a pattern (303) of
loops (316,318) at a second frequency higher than said first frequency, alternating with said
first circumferential bands and periodically coupled thereto to form cells. The
first circumferential bands have wider struts than the second circumferential
bands. The higher frequency elements with lower strut width provide a flexibility
after expansion which can be repeatedly stressed by the beating heart without exceeding
the elastic limit of the stent material.

Abstract: An optical signal transmission system equipped with a
magneto-optical modulator is provided. The magneto-optical
modulator works to modulate an optical beam emitted from a light
source and consists of a polarizer, a magneto-optical element, an
analyzer, a dc field generator, a high-frequency field generator, and
an impedance adjuster. The dc field generator works to apply a dc
bias field to the magneto-optical element. The high-frequency
generator is responsive to the high-frequency signal from said
high-frequency signal generator to apply a high-frequency field to
the magneto-optical element. The impedance adjuster works to
adjust impedance of the high-frequency field generator for
establishing effective transmission of the high-frequency signal to
the high-frequency field generator, thereby increasing a modulation
range up to frequencies higher than an upper limit of typical
magneto-optical modulators. The application of the dc bias field
and use of the impedance adjuster realizes the magneto-optical
modulator which is useful up to a ferromagnetic resonance
frequency.

Abstract: A hub (2) includes a spindle (14) which projects through a
housing (4) and rotates relative to the housing (4) on a bearing (6) that
is located between the spindle (14) and the housing (4). The bearing
(6) has two sets of raceways (28,40) that are oblique to the axis x, and
in addition rolling elements (36) arranged in two rows between the sets
of raceways (28,40). The inner raceways (28) that fit around the
spindle (14) and have back faces (32), with the back face (32) for one
of the races (26) being against a shoulder (18) from which the spindle
(14) projects. Initially, the end of the spindle (14) projects straight
beyond the back face (32) of the outer race - indeed, so that the races
(26) can be installed over the spindle (14). But once the housing (4)
and races (26) are in a position around the spindle (14), the projecting
end portion of the spindle (14) is deformed radially and axially in a
rotary forming operation such that it transforms into a formed end (20)
that lies behind back face (32) of the race (26). With the two races
(26) between the formed end (20) and the shoulder (18). During the
rotary forming operation the hub (26) rotates, and the end of its spindle
(14) is forced against a rotating forming tool and the force is monitored.
The housing (4) is restrained and the torque transferred from the
rotating hub (2) to the housing (4) is monitored.

Abstract: A system and method selectively establishes data communications, such as
XDSL services, between data devices and a network switch. Status of the data devices
are monitored and active data devices are connected to a data branch for data
communications. Data devices which are inactive may remain connected to the data
branch, if available, or may be switched to a pilot branch. While disconnected from
the pilot branch, the system may detect a signal from the data device indicating that the
device is going active. If pilot signals are being used, the pilot signals between a data
device and the network switch are monitored to determine when the data device is
going active. Once detected, the data device is connected to the data branch.
Alternately, if pilot signals are not being used, the system monitors the connection with
the data device for any signals, such as a wake-up signal, which indicates that the data
device is going active.

IPC: G01H9/00

Abstract: In order to investigate and analyse vibrations of
any object, light from a laser (12) is split with part
being emitted to an object (15) and part being mixed with
the light (16) reflected from the object to create an
interference signal. That interference signal is
investigated to derive therefrom a signal representing
the vibrations of the object (15). If there is bulk
movement of the object (15), the effect of that bulk
movement may impose a popular shift on the reflected
light (16). To eliminate this from the investigation of
the vibrations of the object, an estimate of frequency
corresponding to the effect of the bulk movement is
derived from the signal, and that used to defuse a signal
of reduced bandwidth encouraging the frequency due to the
bulk movement and also the frequencies of vibration.
Thus, the vibrations can then be derived and investigated
from analysis of that signal of reduced bandwidth.

Abstract: A pressure reducing valve (6) of an accumulation type fuel injection system of a multi-cylinder diesel engine opens during an engine starting operation or an idling operation immediately following the engine starting operation for a period corresponding to cooling water temperature or fuel temperature. Thus, the fuel in a high-pressure fuel passage leading from a fuel supply pump (3) to fuel injection valves (2) through the common rail (1) is discharged into a fuel tank (5). Accordingly, air entering the fuel supply pump (3) while the engine is stopped is discharged to the fuel tank (5) through fuel recirculating passages (13, 15, 16). As a result, the air delivered from the fuel supply pump (3) to the injector (2) is minimized and injection quantity control is stabilized when the engine is started.
