Abstract: A description is given of a catheter (1) which comprises at least one flexib le tubular catheter body (2) with a proximal end and a distal end, and an element interacting with the tubular catheter body, which element produces bending or stretching of the distal end by means of axial movement. Said element comprises a rigid shaping wire (4) wit h a predetermined intrinsic shape of at least the distal end, which wire is accommodated in the tubular body (2) and is slidable back and forth inside the tubular catheter body (2). The distal end of the tubular catheter body (2) also has a predetermined intrinsic shape. An axial movement of the shaping wire (4) produces a specific change of shape in at least the distal end of the tubular catheter body (2), the specific shape being determined by the intrinsic shape of the shaping wire when it is present in the distal end, or by the intrinsic shape of the tubular catheter body (2) in the absence of the shaping wire (4).

Granted: 2004-12-07
Abstract: An interactive cable television system is disclosed which utilizes a standard cable television distribution network for simultaneously providing a plurality of viewers with an interactive television program comprising a plurality of signals related in time and content. Video signals (1) are transmitted in a digital format, more than one signal being multiplexed onto a data stream on a single channel. The video signals (1) may be compressed for efficiency. A receiver (7), in conjunction with a signal selector (8), selects a particular NTSC channel for playback, then selects a particular video signal from the data stream, and decompresses the video signal for playback. Seamless switching between video signals on different channels is provided. An alternative embodiment is disclosed wherein the various signals which comprise the interactive program are switched at the head end (300) rather than at the receiver (7). The multiple choice control unit (9) selects a desired signal by relaying the multiple choice selections of the user through a relay box (17) back to a remotely located switching station. The switching station routes the correct video signal down the appropriate cable channel for the particular user.

Abstract: In an engine starter according to the present invention, an annular stopper disposed between the pinion unit and the solenoid device so as to determine the rest position of the pinion unit is formed with a tongue projecting radially outwardly from its outer periphery, and a shoulder surface defined in the gear cover so as to abut an end surface of the solenoid device and thereby determine the axial position of the solenoid device is formed with a recess for receiving the tongue of the annular stopper, with the tongue and the recess being dimensioned with respect to each other so as to allow the tongue to be resiliently interposed between the recessed part of the shoulder surface and the end surface of the solenoid device and to define a space which accommodates a corresponding deformation of the tongue. Thus, since a space which accommodates the deformation of the tongue of the stopper is provided within the recess of the shoulder surface, the tongue can be resiliently deformed so as to support the annular stopper steadily without affecting the axial position of the solenoid device.

Abstract: A method of forming a caul plate (14) for use in producing a composite honeycomb core sandwich panel (27). The uncured honeycomb core sandwich panel (27) is laid-up on a lay-up mandrel (20). An inner bagging film (28) is then extended over the uncured honeycomb core sandwich panel (27). Tooling prepreg sheets (34) are extended over the inner bagging film (28), and a outer bagging film (40) is extended over the tooling prepreg sheets (34). Reduced vacuum is applied to the inner bagging film (28), and full vacuum is applied to the outer bagging film (40). The tooling prepreg sheets (34) are then partially cured so that they harden into the shape of the inner mold line of the honeycomb core sandwich panel (27). The partially cured tooling prepreg sheets (34) are then final cured to form the caul plate (14). The caul plate (14) can then be used for inner mold line tooling for the honeycomb core sandwich panel (27) or parts having the same inner mold line shape.

Abstract: The invention relates to a structure of a seal ring separating surface for a gas turbine, which sets a shape of an end portion in the separation surface to a perpendicular cutting surface and reduces a leaking amount of a sealing air. A seal ring holding ring (1) within a stationary blade fixes brush seals (3, 4) to an upstream side by bolts (5, 6) respectively, so as to form a seal with respect to a rotor disc (69). Further, it fixes and supports a seal ring (2) to a downstream side by a bolt (7) so as to constitute a seal with respect to a seal portion (8) in a disc (69) side. The brush seals (3, 4) and the seal ring (2) are structured such as to have a circular ring shape and a separation construction, and each of the separation pieces has a gap, so that a sealing air leaks to a downward side from an upward side through the gap, however, since the separation piece end portion is formed in a perpendicular cutting surface and a shape of the gap is formed in a bypass passage, a resistance of an air flow passage is increased and a leaking air amount is reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for downhole remediation. In the preferred embodiment, a bridge plug and service packer can be run into a well on coiled or rigid tubing. The assembly is capable of being set without rotation.     The service packer is locked against setting until it is separated from the bridge plug. Setting of the bridge plug closes a passage within it that had been open to facilitate circulation during run-in. The service packer is set with longitudinal movements using an indexing mechanism. At the conclusion of the procedure, the service packer is released and lowered to recapture the bridge plug. The bridge plug is equalized and released to allow the assembly to be repositioned elsewhere in the wellbore or retrieved. The spacing between the packer and bridge plug can be varied as desired.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for providing an absent addressing service (i.e. call forwarding, voice messaging, and the like) for subscribers normally connected to a H.323 compliant network. Some network entity, such as a subscriber's gatekeeper, intercepts all set-up calls to subscribers requiring such a service. If the subscriber is properly registered, the set-up call is forwarded to the subscriber. Otherwise messages are delivered, in accordance with the configuration of the network gatekeeper, whereby the calling party becomes connected to an absent addressing service rather than the originally called terminal of the subscriber.
