Title: Multilayer composite tubular structure and method of making
Inventor: ECKERT JOHN K
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 1997-12-03
Abstract: A multilayer composite tubular structure (10) for use as a scent in surgical procedures has an outer layer of biocompatible material (12), a middle layer of radiopaque material (14), and an inner layer of biocompatible material (16).      The layers are metallurgically bonded, to form a composite stent (10) which is ductile and permits large deformation without delamination between the biocompatible (12, 16) and radiopaque layers (14). The composite structure (10) formed is visible on a fluoroscope, yet does not obstruct the details of the stent (10) itself, or of the anatomical features surrounding the stent (10). A process of forming a multilayer composite tubular structure (10) is also disclosed. A tube formed from radiopaque material (14) is coaxially surrounded by a tube of biocompatible material (12, 16).      The tubes are simultaneously reduced, such as by tube drawing, swaging, or deep drawing, until a composite structure (10) of a desirable diameter and wall thickness is formed. The tubes are then heat treated to cause diffusion bonding of the biocompatible (12, 16) and radiopaque layers (14).

Title: Current interrupter for electrochemical cells
Inventor: KUZNETSOVA YELENA
IPC: H01M50/574
Filed: 1998-04-08
Abstract: A current interrupt mechanism for electrochemical cells is disclosed. A thermally activated current interrupt mechanism (38) is integrated into an end cap assembly (10) for an electrochemical cell. The thermally responsive mechanism (38) preferably includes a free floating bimetallic disk (40) or shape memory alloy member which deforms when exposed to elevated temperature causing a break in an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. This prevents current from flowing through the cell and effectively shuts down an operating cell. The thermally responsive mechanism (38) may include a heat producing electrical resistance means, preferably a Zener diode (700), to enhance thermal sensivity. The end cap assembly (10) may include a pressure responsive mechanism (48) which ruptures when there is extreme gas pressure buildup. Gas is allowed to escape from the cell interior to the external environment through a series of vent apertures (63, 67) within the end cap assembly (10).

Title: High efficiency channel drop filter with absorption induced on/off switching and modulation
Inventor: HAUS HERMANN A
IPC: G02F1/025
Filed: 1998-06-08
Abstract: A highly efficient channel drop filter. The filter employs a coupling element including a resonator-system between two waveguides, which contains at least two resonant modes. The resonator-system includes one or more interacting resonant cavities which in addition to being coupled to the waveguides, can also be coupled directly among themselves and indirectly among themselves via the waveguides. Each component of the coupling element can be configured or adjusted individually.

The filter can achieve 100 % signal transfer between the waveguides at certain frequencies, while completely prohibiting signal transfer at other frequencies. In exemplary embodiments, the filter is configured with photonic crystals. In accordance with alternative embodiments of the invention, the filter is configured as an absorption induced on/off switch and modulator.

Filed: 1998-05-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to sectorization of a cellular CDMA-system. Each sectorized cell (CELL) in the CDMA-system comprises a number of antenna sectors (AS1-AS8) having overlapping regions. Each cell is allocated a number of at least two different pilot channels (P1, P2). Two antenna sectors having a common overlapping region are not allowed to use the same pilot channel. At least one of said pilot channels (P1, P2) are reused within the cell, by at least two antenna sectors with no common overlapping region. The antenna sectors that use the same pilot signal are constituting a logical sector (LS1, LS2). A mobile station can communicate with the base station in a cell by using one or more antenna sectors within one or more logical sectors. If a mobile station communicates with the base station within a number of antenna sectors within the same logical sector, no softer handoff is required between the antenna sectors.
