Abstract: Balloon especially useful for dilatation of gastrointestinal lesions has a burst pressure of at least 9 atmospheres, a diameter at 3 atmospheres of about 5 mm or more, and an average compliance over the range of from 3 atmospheres to burst of at least 3 % per atmosphere. Such balloons and balloons having other combinations of burst strength, compliance and diameter may be prepared by a method wherein a tubing of a thermoplastic polymer material is radially expanded under a first elevated pressure at an elevated temperature to form the balloon at a first diameter and then annealing the balloon at a second elevated temperature and a second pressure less than the first elevated pressure for a time sufficient to shrink the formed balloon to a second diameter less than the first diameter. The thermoplastic polymer material may be a block copolymer material. Catheters bearing balloons prepared by this method have low withdrawal force requirements, especially catheters used in through-the-scope applications.

Abstract: A pipe joint, includes a press fitting with a section that is beaded in cross-section and holds a sealing ring and with a cylindrical area attached thereto that has, at the end of its extension, a flange-like depression forming a stop. The pipe joint also includes a pipe, whose smooth end, after being inserted into the press fitting, comes to rest on the inner stop of the press fitting. A non-detachable, tight pipe joint is formed by means of a pressing tool having at least two pressing jaws encompassing the press fitting after the pressing jaws are closed. During pressing, the pressing jaws act both on the annular bead, including the sealing ring placed therein, and on the cylindrical area of the press fitting. A clamping means that largely prevents the axial displacement of the inserted pipe and whose internal diameter in the non-stressed state is smaller than the smallest external diameter of the inserted pipe permitted by tolerances is arranged in the insertion area for the pipe in the press fitting outside the action area of the pressing jaws.

Abstract: A microsphere-based analytic chemistry system is disclosed in which microspheres carrying different chemical functionalities may be mixed together while the ability is retained to identify the functionality on each bead using an optically interrogatable encoding scheme. An optical fiber bundle sensor is also disclosed in which the separate microsphere may be optically coupled to discrete fibers or groups of fibers within the bundle. The functionalities are encoded on the separate microspheres using fluorescent dyes and then affixed to wells etched in the end of the bundle. Thus, a single sensor may carry thousands of chemistries. Only those microspheres exhibiting reactions then need to be decoded to identify the corresponding functionality.

Abstract: In a method for minimizing a data bottleneck in a Low Data Rate Network (LDRN) (34), i.e. a facsimile network having a transmission rate less than the data rate of the facsimile machines serviced by the network, the LDRN (34) has a one-dimensional image data format and a two-dimensional image data format. The method comprises processing the facsimile transmissions in order to make the data rates of the LDRN and the FAX machines compatible, thereby minimizing any potential facsimile data bottlenecks that may occur in the LDRN due to its slower data rate. In the method, a first facsimile (FAX) machine (12) is set to the one-dimensional image data format; a data stream encoded in the one-dimensional image data format is sent (32) from the first FAX machine (12) to a first side of the LDRN (34); the data stream sent is uncompressed, and the uncompressed data stream is re-encoded into the two-dimensional image data format; the re-encoded data stream is transmitted from the first side of the LDRN (34) to a second side of the LDRN (34); the transmitted data stream is second uncompressed; the second uncompressed data stream is second re-encoded into the one-dimensional image data format; and the re-encoded data stream is second sent (36) from the second side of the LDRN (34) to a second FAX machine (16).

Abstract: The process involves rolling a metal product in at least one rolling cage (1) associated with a calculation unit (4) comprising a calculator and a mathematical model for regulating the rolling force applied by the tightening apparatus (17). The installation used to implement the process comprises: (a) a rolling cage having two spaced columns (11); (b) at least two superposed working rolls (12, 12') between the columns of the cage; (c) device for control of feed of the product (2) for rolling in a rolling nip (22) delimited by two arcs of contact (20, 20') of the product (2) with the two rolls, between an inlet and an outlet section of the rolling nip (22); tightening apparatus (17) for applying pressure on the rolls and the cage to regulate the gap between the working rolls (12, 12') corresponding to a desired reduction in thickness and to maintain the gap during the rolling pass by applying between the working rolls (12, 12') a rolling force that depends on the mechanical and physical characteristics of the cage and the product and the conditions of passage of the metal in the rolling nip, and determines a yielding effect for different elements of the cage tending to augment the gap; and (d) devices (31, 32) controlled by a calculation unit (4) comprising a calculator (40) associated with a mathematical model, to regulate the tightening apparatus. Before each pass the calculation unit (4) associated with the mathematical model (40) determines a predictable value of the contraction stress of the metal corresponding to the deformation to be realized in the considered pass by taking into account during rolling the microcrystalline structure of the metal constituting the rolling product (2). The rolling force to be applied in order to obtain the desired thickness reduction is calculated before each pass as a function of the predictable value of the contraction stress and its development during rolling.
