Abstract: An intraluminal medical device having axially adjacent segments connected by at least one strain concentrating bridge. The axially adjacent segments remain connected during delivery to an intended treatment site. After delivery, at least one of the at least one strain concentrating bridge may yield to separate at least two of the axially adjacent segments, if subjected to sufficient dynamic loading in the area within which the device is emplaced. The intraluminal device is ideally comprised of biocompatible metal materials and the at least one bridge is also comprised of such biocompatible metal materials, wherein the at least one strain concentrating bridge has a threshold level of strain less than that of the axially adjacent segments. Changing materials or changing dimensions of the at least one strain concentrating bridge can alter the threshold level of strain of the at least one bridge. Ideally the at least one strain concentrating bridge yields to disconnect the axially adjacent segments when subjected to prescribed loading conditions. The strain concentrating bridge may include a notched strain riser, a thinned portion, or a slotted portion that receives protrusions.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create a method and a signal tower for regulating rail-borne traffic which make it situatively possible to implement and apply rather complex processes for safely establishing and/or canceling routes in the signal tower logic without having to make adjustments to the generic portion. Said aim is achieved by a method and a signal tower for monitoring and/or adjusting/canceling a route for a rail-borne vehicle. According to said method, a route is adjusted or canceled upon request by means of units allocated to the respective route once the units connected to the desired request have not negatively acknowledged said request. Attributes associated with the route, especially the track occupation, direction of travel, block interlocking, barriers, are defined by means of expected values, and the route is adjusted or canceled only once the expected values have been provided for the defined attributes. This makes it possible to introduce other supporting requests into the logic for establishing and/or canceling a route in addition to the units directly involved in the route, e.g. positioning elements such as switches and signals, and monitoring elements, such as axle counters and clear track signaling systems. Such supporting requests primarily contribute to further increasing the great degree of safety provided as a matter of fact.

Abstract: A framed planar load-bearing element (3) has a profile frame (2) peripherally surrounding it. A peripheral edge portion (6) of the planar load-bearing element (3) is received in a receiving portion (7). The edge portion (6) is peripherally spaced apart from bounding walls (11 to 13) of the receiving portion (7) both parallel and perpendicular to a load-bearing element plane (14) pre-defined by the planar load-bearing element (3). Consequently, a peripheral receiving chamber (15) is formed between the edge portion (6) and the bounding walls (11 to 13) of the profile frame (2). Arranged opposite one another on both sides of the load-bearing element plane (14) are sealing profiles (16, 17) which seal visible sides (18, 19) of the profile frame (2) with respect to the edge portion (6). Arranged separately to the sealing profiles (16, 17) is a peripherally bearing sealing element (21) made of a material which is soft as compared with a frame profile (1) of the profile frame (2). The sealing element (21) seals at least one of the bounding walls (12) peripherally with respect to the planar load-bearing element (3). The receiving chamber (5) is thus divided into at least two chamber portions (27, 28) in a plane of separation (26) which extends parallel to the load-bearing element plane (14). A thickness (S) of the sealing element (21) at the point where said element separates the chamber portions (27, 28) from one another is less than half as much as a thickness (D) of the edge portion (6) of the planar load-bearing element (3) perpendicular to the load-bearing element plane (14). The result is a framed planar load-bearing element whose heat-insulating effect is improved by virtue of the convection-inhibiting sealing element.

Abstract: In lossy based lossless coding a PCM audio signal passes through a lossy encoder (41) to a lossy decoder (42). The lossy encoder provides a lossy bit stream. The difference signal (S Diff ) between the PCM signal and the lossy decoder output is lossless encoded (52), providing an extension bit stream. The invention facilitates enhancing a lossy perceptual audio encoding/decoding by an extension that enables mathematically exact reproduction of the original waveform using enhanced de-correlation, and provides additional data for reconstructing at decoder site an intermediate-quality audio signal. The lossless extension can be used to extend the widely used mp3 encoding/decoding to lossless encoding/decoding and superior quality mp3 encoding/de-coding.
