Abstract: A balloon dilatation catheter has a relatively stiff and strong proximal cannula made of a material such as for example metal hypotubing. The distal end of the catheter includes an inflatable medical device or balloon, an inflation lumen and a guidewire lumen. A transition assembly is positioned between the proximal cannula and the distal end section. This transition assembly has a stiffening member within a transition tube, and provides for a flexible transition between the two components of diverse stiffness, namely the proximal cannula and the flexible distal end portion. A proximal end of the stiffening member may float within a distal end of the proximal cannula, but the stiffening member distal end is affixed to the shaft. The dilatation catheter may have a rapid exchange configuration, and is generally used in conjunction with a guiding catheter. During a procedure when the catheters are within the vascular system, the transition section of the dilatation catheter readily follows curved portions of the inserted guiding catheter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Die erfindungsgemäße Fadenbremse (1) weist Spannmittel (21, 22) auf, die jeweils für sich verstellbar sind und mit Bremstellern (8, 9) zusammenwirken. Durch die Verstellung beider Spannmittel (21, 22) lassen sich anders als bei herkömmlichen Fadenbremsen gewünschte Positionen der Bremsteller (8, 9) gezielt einstellen. Beispielsweise kann eine gewünschte Zentrierposition bei jeder Fadenspannung erhalten werden. Auch ist es möglich, durch gezielte Verstellung beider Spannmittel (21, 22) die gewünschte Zentrierposition gezielt zu verlagern. Die Einstellung der Fadenspannung wird somit von der Einstellung der Zentrierposition unabhängig.

Abstract: The present invention provides for techniques for transporting materials using electrokinetic forces through the channels of a microfluidic system. The subject materials are transported in regions of high ionic concentration, next to spacer material regions of high ionic concentration, which are separated by spacer material regions of low ionic concentration. Such arrangements allow the materials to remain localized for the transport transit time to avoid mixing of the materials. Using these techniques, an electropipettor which is compatible with the microfluidic system is created so that materials can be easily introduced into the microfluidic system. The present invention also compensates for electrophoretic bias as materials are transported through the channels of the microfluidic system by splitting a channel into portions with positive and negative surface charges and a third electrode between the two portions, or by diffusion of the electrophoresing materials after transport along a channel. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the mobile radio communication system where the UMTS and an another system coexist an idle slot for observing the frequency component of another system is inserted in one superframe of UMTS. The duration of this idle slot is at most half of the duration of one frame that form the superframe and it is inserted at an interval of a specified number of frames. Therefore, the frequency component of the another system can be observed securely from the UMTS. Further, deterioration of interleaving performance of the compressed mode frames during such observation can be suppressed.
