Patent EP-0518389-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WILLIAMS STUART KONRADD
IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 1986-06-04
Abstract: A novel implantable prosthesis for implantation in human patients is disclosed which comprises a synthetic substrate and a Type IV/V collagen surface layer seeded with a confluent monolayer of autologous endothelial cells. In the preferred embodiment, a base layer of interstitial collagen is adhered to the substrate. The Type IV/V collagen surface layer is provided in a laminate comprising an intermediate layer of interstitial collagen which is covalently bound to the aforementioned base layer. A cross linking agent, such as glutaraldehyde, is utilized to covalently bind the interstitial collagen base layer to the substrate, and the collagen intermediate layer to the base layer. The cross linking agent is subsequently deactivated with a soluble peptide, such as lysine. Autologous endothelial cells, such as microvascular endothelial cells derived from adipose tissue, are then seeded at high densities on the pretreated graft material. Those cells adhere in suitable precentages within times compatible with most vascular surgical procedures, and, even more importantly, flatten on that surface to assume the appearance of a natural, cobblestone morphology. The subject surface is resistant to shear stress, and yields good results when tested as a vena cava implant in dog.

Abstract: A motion estimating method serves to determine a set of target motion vectors between a current and its previous selected frames, wherein N number of frames are skipped between the current and the previous selected frames, said N being a positive integer inclusive of 1. This method is implemented through the use of all frames, i.e., the current and the previous selected frames and the N number of skipped frames in order to obtain a series of motion vectors for one of the search blocks within the current selected frame. Said series of motion vectors is then summed up to define a target motion vector representing the displacement between said one of the search blocks and the corresponding best matching block in the previous selected frame. The process is repeated until the set of target motion vectors for all of the search blocks contained in the current selected frame are detected.

The first and the second disparities have an equal value but opposite sign. The third and the fourth disparities have an equal value but opposite sign. The identification blocks in subsequent packets include a first and a second count value (CV-0,CV-1), the second count value being the binary inverted value of the first count value, and the first count value relating to the sequence count number of the packets in the tracking tone recording part.

Abstract: A digital data on-demand turnkey system at a customer premise wherein N number of servers provide for 100% of content distribution of remotely stored digitized information, which information may be previewed in real-time, and product incorporating selected digitized information can be manufactured on-site and within a short response time to a customer's request at a point of sale location. In a retail environment customers, at a point-of-sale location are able to exhaustively search and preview the content database using graphics-based touch screens at consumer kiosks. Previews including audio and video segments are made available. Prompting screens allow customers to make purchasing decisions by stipulating content which is available from any number of categories of subject matter including music. Content can be identified by album, artist or partial portions of material within the content of the totality of the work. The selected media for the manufacture and production of the digital data may be from a myriad of different selections and can include CD's, cassette tapes, CD ROM technology, reel-to-reel tapes, and video disks, as an example. Since the system is adaptable to having an unlimited number of servers, strategic and economic networking is accomplished to allocate proportionally the preview material as well as the total content of a specific work at the respective servers depending, in particular, on the popularity of the content and the costs of transmission. A master server will be situated geographically so as to be accessible to chain and network subservers. Its geographic and networked location is dependent upon communication network systems and subsystem costs and availability in order to best serve a customer's premise, whether it be a retail store or similar point-of-sale or other end-user location. The strategy of allocating the content between the servers, preview and for the final manufacturing process for a particular work, is done so as to eliminate the need for any in-store inventory of, for example, an artist's composition regardless of format. Security mechanisms that require centralized database authorizations prior to the transmission of content and/or the manufacture of any of the products is provided in addition. The systems provides simplified financial and accounting services. The total authorization, accounting and management reporting and marketing system collects and maintains data useful to the retailer and the content data owners or managers, such as label companies.
