Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a pipe element ( 1 ) for pipes that are subject to vibrating stress, especially for exhaust pipes in motor vehicles. Said pipe element consists of a preprofiled strip ( 2; 3 ), especially a metal strip, that is wound in convolutions with bellow-shaped windings ( 4; 22 ). The wound layers produced by a strip width are interlinked in a single-hooked or multi-layer clasp-type bond ( 9; 19 ) by positive locking, welding or similar joining methods. The Strip ( 2; 3 ) is preprofiled with at least one stitch that is off-set from the plane by deflection into a kind of circuit with web heights (h 1, h 2 ) of the bellows ( 4; 22 ) that are multiples of the strip thickness.

Abstract: A display apparatus (1) comprises a matrix display device (DD) with pixels (10) wherein particles (14) move in a fluid (13) between electrodes (6, 6′, 7). An optical state of the pixels (10) is defined by a value of a drive voltage (VDi) and a duration (Di) of a drive period (TDi) during which the drive voltage (VDi) is present across the pixel (10). A DC-balancing circuit (3) controls the amplitudes of the drive voltages (VDi) and/or durations (Di) of drive periods (TDi) to obtain a substantially zero time-average value (N) across each pixel (10) or across each sub-group of pixels. This control of the amplitude of the drive voltages (VDi) and/or the duration (Di) of the drive periods (TDi) allows minimizing the image retention, without requiring reset pulses causing all pixels (10) to become temporarily white or black. In a preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention, a display device (DD) is used in which a drive voltage (VDi) is supplied to the pixel (10) with a level such that the grey level (or the amount of colorization) does not change anymore after an initial period of time. Now, if applicable, the DC-balancing can be performed by making the duration (Di) of the drive periods (TDi) longer than the initial period of time.

Abstract: A system and method for creating lesions and assessing their completeness or transmurality. Assessment of transmurality of a lesion is accomplished by monitoring the impedance of the tissue to be ablated. Rather than attempting to detect a desired drop or a desired increase impedance, completeness of a lesion is detected in response to the measured impedance remaining at a stable level for a desired period of time, referred to as an impedance plateau. The mechanism for determining transmurality of lesions adjacent individual electrodes or pairs may be used to deactivate individual electrodes or electrode pairs, when the lesions in tissue adjacent these individual electrodes or electrode pairs are complete, to create an essentially uniform lesion along the line of electrodes or electrode pairs, regardless of differences in tissue thickness adjacent the individual electrodes or electrode pairs.

Abstract: During one mode of operation, a configuration server receives a signal to modify configuration information associated with a given host computer. To prompt reconfiguration of the given host computer, the configuration server generates a reconfiguration command to the given host computer. A network interface intercepts the reconfigure command and terminates a communication link through which the given host computer communicates to access the network. Termination of the communication link prompts the given host computer to initiate a reconfiguration routine for assignment of a new network address. Alternatively, the network interface forwards the reconfigure message to the given host computer and monitors communications from the given host computer to determine whether it executes the reconfigure command. If not, the network interface terminates a communication link prompting the given host computer to initiate a reconfiguration routine for assignment of a new network address.
