Patent CA-2402478-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOSOYA TOSHIFUMI
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 2002-01-21
Abstract: A dispersion compensation fiber (1) is coiled or bundled and then received in a case (2), and the periphery of the dispersion compensation fiber (1) in the case (2) is filled with a filler material (3) whose pre-cure viscosity is 0.01 Pa.bullet.s - 0.6 Pa.bullet.s and is cured. This reduces the amount of a change in transmission loss with respect to temperature change due to the heat cycle of the dispersion compensation unit. Further employment of a method in which the dispersion compensation fiber is loosely wound in bundle form and then received in a case, followed by filling a filler material, or a method in which the case having the dispersion compensation fiber received therein is vibrated in filling a filler material, makes it possible to further reduce the transmission loss difference.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un outil de création de ressources dans un environnement informatique réparti. Diverses ressources peuvent être disséminées en divers points. L'existence et les possibilités de ces ressources distribuées peuvent être connus des programmes d'application, mais l'hétérogénéité même de ces ressources empêche souvent qu'elles puissent être exploiter par lesdits programmes. Il peut arriver que de nouvelles ressources doivent être créées dans cet environnement réparti, par exemple des ressources qui intègrent des ressources pré-existantes, mais hétérogènes, dans le but de créer une nouvelle fonctionnalité. Ainsi, cette invention porte sur une méthode permettant de créer de telles ressources, sur un système composé d'une pluralité d'ensembles d'une ou de plusieurs ressources (chaque ensemble étant associé à une représentation correspondante) et sur un procédé correspondant. Ce procédé consiste à : recevoir la représentation de chaque ensemble de ressources ; transformer la représentation correspondant à chacun des ensembles de ressources en une représentation commune ; alimenter une entité de stockage en représentations communes de chacune des ressources ; faire en sorte que l'association de composantes de ressources permettent, au sein d'une représentation commune, de définir une nouvelle ressource ; et créer cette nouvelle ressource à partir des représentations associées respectives des composantes de ressources.

Filed: 2001-07-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for deinterleaving expanded interleaved data blocks, particularly for use in a wireless telecommunications systems such as provided by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3G) standard.  The data is processed on a sequential element basis where each element has a pre-determined number of bits M which bits are contained in a block of sequential data world W'. The elements are extracted from the block of words W' in sequential order, each element being extracted form either a single or two sequential interleaved words within the set of words W'. The elements are stored in selective location within a set of words W of a deinterleaver memory such that upon completion of the extraction and writing of all the elements, the words W from the deinterleaver memory can be sequentially read out to correspond to an original data block of bits from which the block of interleaved elements was created. Additional conventional processing results in the contraction of the deinterleaved expanded words to reproduce the data block of bits in a receiver as originally designated for transmission in a transmitter.

Abstract: Stent delivery system and method of manufacturing same. In one embodiment, the stent delivery system comprises an inner catheter. A handle is disposed at the proximal end of the inner catheter, and an enlarged tip is disposed at the distal end thereof. A stent engaging sleeve coaxially surrounds and is secured to a portion of the inner catheter proximally contiguous to the tip. The stent engaging sleeve is used to frictionally engage a stent mounted thereover in such a way as to prevent the stent, during deployment, from sliding proximally relative to the inner catheter. The system additionally comprises a self-expandable stent of the type comprising a knitted mesh of nitinol wire flexible in both the radial and longitudinal axes. The stent is mounted over the stent engaging sleeve in a longitudinally stretched state and is maintained, until deployment, in the stretched state by a stent restraining sleeve. The stent restraining sleeve, which coaxially surrounds the stent and is appropriately sized to maintain the stent in its stretched state, is a braided tube formed directly over the stent. The system also includes an outer catheter that surrounds much of the distal end of the inner catheter up to its tip, the outer catheter being adapted for axial movement relative to the inner catheter. The distal end of the outer catheter, which is mechanically coupled to the distal end of the stent for axial movement, is provided with an increased inner diameter to accommodate those components positioned between the inner and outer catheters. To facilitate the advancement of the outer catheter over the stent restraining sleeve during the assembly of the system, the outer catheter is fabricated with a longitudinal split extending proximally from its distal end.  After the outer catheter has been positioned over the stent restraining sleeve, the split is sealed.
