Abstract: An endoluminal graft which is both expandable and
supportive is provided in a form suitable for use in a
branched body vessel location. The graft expands
between a first diameter and a second, larger
diameter. The support component is an expandable
stent endoprothesis. A liner is applied to the
endoprosthesis in the form of a compliant wall
material that is porous and biocompatible in order to
allow normal cellular invasion upon implantation,
without stenosis, when the expandable and supportive
graft is at its second diameter. The supportive
endoluminal graft is preferably provided as a
plurality of components that are deployed separately
at the branching body vessel location, one of which
has a longitudinal indent defining leg portions within
which the other components fit in a telescoping
manner.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for configurable logging and analysis of
performance data for a medical diagnostic imaging system. A medical diagnostic
imaging system may be divided into at least one subsystem (110,115, etc.). The
subsystems include data acquisition modules (190) for acquiring desired types of
data related to the performance of an associated subsystem. The data acquisition
modules acquire raw performance data during the operation of the medical
diagnostic imaging system. The data acquisition modules may remotely acquire the
raw performance data. The raw performance data may be acquired based upon a
configuration file (196,198) which identifies parameters associated with a desired
type of performance analysis. New configuration files may be downloaded to
dynamically select at least one parameter for a desired type of performance analysis.
Parameters in the configuration file may comprise at least one of a performance
variable and a sampling rate for the performance variable. A processing module
(195) processes the raw performance data acquired by the data acquisition modules.
Data may be processed in real-time during the operation of the medical diagnostic
imaging system. The processing module produces characteristic data summarizing
the raw performance data. For example, the processing module may calculate trend
statistics or perform statistical analyze on the raw performance data to produce
characteristic data.

Abstract: An information retrieval system implemented as a
virtual data base management system to provide a problemoriented
conceptual schema for one or more standard data
base management systems. In the conceptual schema, a
hierarchy of concepts is used to organise individual
objects. A classifier determines which concepts an
individual object is a representative of and determines the
relationship of new concepts to existing concepts. The use
of a knowledge base with a classifier permits conversion of
queries into concepts and detection of changes in the
relationships between individual objects and the concepts.
A window-based user interface permits flexible and
experimental access to the information. Special features
of the user interface permit the user to specify conversion
of a query into a concept, to establish monitors to detect
such changes, and to define a query by specifying a portion
of a graph.

IPC: B29B9/06
Filed: 1993-05-10
Abstract: Carbomer or cross-polyacrylate polymers which are conventionally provided
in a powdered form are converted to a granulated, pelletized or tablet form
for subsequent use. The subsequent use can be in combination with a liquid
medium, to form a gel from which products such as liquid detergents,
cosmetics and toiletries can be produced or they can be used in the
converted dry form without the addition of liquid. Conversion of the polymer
into a granular, pelletized or tablet form has been demonstrated to improve
handling of the dry polymer, thereby mitigating against many of the problems
incurred with the use of conventional powders, as well as to improve the rate
of blending of the polymer with a liquid medium. In some embodiments, the
polymer is blended with an electrolyte which may be a salt, acid or acid salt
having a pK which is at least 1 unit, and preferably 2 units, greater than the
pK of the polymer.

Inventor: MACHIDA YUTAKA
IPC: H04N19/61
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: A method for encoding and decoding digital moving
picture signals which can decode subframes appropriately in
relation to time if a part of a bit stream is missing or an
error occurs in the bit stream, and can suppress degradation
of a reproduced picture if decoding of a subframe including
a picture in motion in relation to time becomes unfeasible.
In the method for encoding and decoding digital moving
picture signals of this invention, information for one frame
is encoded correspondingly to a spatial hierarchy of a
frame, subframes and blocks. A subframe time position
number and a subframe space number are attached to an
identifier of each of the subframe, thereby resuming
appropriate decoding of the subframes immediately after a
trouble if an error occurs. The subframe identifiers are
placed at a certain interval in the bit stream so as to
give a smaller size to a subframe including a block which is
in motion and difficult to be encoded, thereby suppressing
degradation of a reproduced picture if decoding of the
subframe becomes unfeasible.

Abstract: The invention is related to the computer science and may be used in the design of miniature high-performance computing systems. The purpose of the invention is to increase the IC stuffing density and to reduce the microelectronic module assembly effort. The multilayered hybrid electronic module contains a backplane with multi-layer wiring with ICs and sockets installed. A socket body is a box of elastic dielectric material, whose vertical walls have vertical metallized contact slots connected to the contact pads on the outer bottom surface of the socket. IC packages to be installed in the sockets have a rigid peripheral frame with cylindrical leads on the perimeter. The leads are parallel to the base of the package and lie in the same plane. Dimensions and shape of the IC package correspond to those of the socket cavity. Dimensions and positions of the IC leads correspond to those of the contact slots. IC packages may also have raised tabs for proper spacing between ICs installed in the same socket and for easier removal of ICs from the socket. Forced cooling of ICs in the socket is allowed by air passages in the socket body aligned with chip-to-chip gaps. The contact surface between socket contact slots and IC leads may be increased by using leads with larger diameter arranged in two planes in a checkerboard pattern.
