Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for producing multilayered artificial organs comprising heterogenous polylayers. Polylayers comprising homogenous cell populations are created on one side of a biocompatible substrate such that a chimeric interface is produced between the heterogenous polylayers. Cellular interaction at the chimeric interface produce an interstitial biomaterial with morphological and functional characteristics that resemble the natural in vivo organ. An artificial organ is produced by creating a first cultured polylayer of cells derived from an isolated population of smooth muscle cells on a substrate in the shape of an organ, and creating a second cultured polylayer of cells derived from a cell population different from the smooth muscle cell population.

Abstract: A memory device (10) includes a memory array (12) having storage units (14) arranged in a plurality of rows (16). A row decoder (18) receives address information and determines which of the plurality of rows (16) to enable. According to the determined row (16), a row selector (20) drives the storage units (14) associated with the determined row (16) to provide their outputs onto respective bitlines (34) for identification by a bitline sensor (32). If the received address information indicates an out of range address that does not identify any of the plurality of rows (16) of the memory array (12), an out of range decoder (24) provides such determination to drive an out of range selector (26) to enable storage units (30) arranged in a single row (32) of a bitline driver (28). Outputs from the storage units (30) are applied to the respective bitlines (34) during an out of range address occurrence to prevent the bitlines (34) from being placed in an undesirable floating state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of linking several current sources, in particular several welding devices ( 1; 27; 28 ), plasma current sources or similar. Operating individually and independently of one another, a process control and/or regulating system ( 4; 31; 32 ) in every welding device ( 1; 27; 28 ) transmits desired values to a voltage-to-current controller of a power component ( 3; 29; 30 ). The power component ( 3; 29; 30 ) supplies a consumer connected to output jacks ( 38, 39; 40, 41; 42, 43 ) with power on the basis of the desired values. For the purposes of the invention, several welding devices ( 1, 27, 28 ) of the same and/or a different power rating or having the same and/or different machine specifications, are linked to one another on the secondary-side via the output jacks ( 38 to 43 ) to form a welding device ( 1, 27, 28 ) with a physically higher power output, whereby the interconnected welding devices ( 1, 27, 28 ) are digitally interconnected via a digital interface ( 44, 45, 46 ) which is known per se and/or a special digital connecting interface ( 47, 48, 49 ) for a data exchange. A process control and/or regulating system ( 4, 32, 33 ) of one welding device ( 1, 27, 28 ) assumes process control for all the other connected welding devices ( 1; 27; 28 ).

IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2001-01-26
Granted: 2010-11-17
Abstract: Dans un système de télécommmunications mettant en oeuvre des techniques de saut de fréquence, la performance d'un réseau peut être améliorée considérablement en prenant en considération le niveau d'interaction (p. ex. le taux de collision) entre des séquences de saut de fréquence, lors de de l'attribution des séquences de saut de fréquence et lors de de l'attribution des séquences de fréquence sur l'ensemble du réseau. Dans un réseau cellulaire, cette démarche peut être accomplie par déduction d'une mesure des performances du réseau en fonction d'une attribution courante de séquences de saut de fréquence pour plusieurs cellules, et en fonction d'un taux de collision prévu (entre les séquences de saut de fréquence) constaté pour l'attribution courante. Les séquences de saut de fréquence sont ensuite réattribuées à une ou plusieurs cellules jusqu'à l'optimisation des performances du réseau. L'attribution de séquences de saut de fréquence donnant lieu à l'optimisation des performances du réseau peut alors être utilisée pour affecter des séquences de saut de fréquence à de nouveaux raccordements existants (p. ex. appels cellulaires) à l'intérieur d'une cellule correspondante.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a solid-state system for reading information from a photonics diffractive memory. An acousto-optic deflector directs a convergent light beam onto a micr-mirror array which then reflects the light beam onto the photonics diffractive memory at a predetermined point and angle so as to access a packet of information. The compact architecture for this diffractive optics systems in accordance with the present invention integrates a number of components into a compact package, including an acousto-optic deflector and a microoptoelectromechanical system (MOEMS) mirror array whose elements oscillate with a sznchronized frequency adapted to that of the acousto-optic deflector. This architecture reduces the addressing component of a reading system for a photonics diffractive memory to a matchbox size.
