Granted: 2010-03-16
Abstract: Selon l'invention, dans un environnement à diversité d'antennes, le décalage temporel des doigts du récepteur est fondé sur le décalage temporel des pics reçus des signaux d'émission de la station de base. Dans un système à espacement multivoie non négligeable, le décalage temporel des pics reçus ds signaux d'émission de la station de base ne sont pas nécessairement situés au même emplacement. Dans un mode de réalisation, les éléments de démodulation pour le signal en provenance de chaque antenne de station de base utilisent le même décalage pour démoduler et déterminer un signal d'erreur sur la base d'un échantillonnage de signal pilote antérieur au décalage temporel et postérieur au décalage temporel. Les signaux d'erreur sont moyennés et utilisés par une boucle de poursuite temporelle pour poursuivre le signal entrant. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les éléments de démodulation pour le signal en provenance de chaque antenne de station de base effectuent indépendamment la poursuite temporelle des signaux présentant des décalages temporels différents pour chaque doigt. Le mode de réalisation préféré dépend du procédé utilisé par la station de base pour multiplexer les données sur des antennes d'émission multiples.

Abstract: A system and method employs collar stents to implant an endoluminal device, such as a stent-graft, in a lumen. The system comprises at least one collar stent adapted to precondition a portion of the lumen for anchoring an endoluminal device having at least a portion adapted to be deployed radially within the collar stent. The method comprises first deploying one or more collar stents, and then deploying the endoluminal device radially within the one or more collar stents. In various embodiments, the collar stent may be radiopaque, may have inwardly protruding barbs for engaging the endoluminal device, and may have a region having a relatively low percentage of open area for bridging a portion of the main lumen having an intersecting lumen. The preconditioning step of implanting the collar stent may change the morphology of the lumen to more favorable morphology, such as from a non-circumferential geometry to a circumferential geometry.

Abstract: The present invention teaches an improved process for preparing a population of microcapsules having a substantially uniform size distribution, especially useful for manufacture of carbonless paper. The improved process teaches use of membrane material having a pre-selected pore size in the capsule manufacture process. A core material is provided along with a receiving solution for receiving the core material. The receiving solution is a nonsolvent for the core material. The core material is passed under pressure through the membrane into a moving or turbulent receiving solution forming uniform droplets of core material dispersed in the receiving solution. Wall-forming material is added to the receiving solution for coating the core material droplets. The coating on the droplets is polymerized forming microcapsules. This novel process also lends itself to microcapsule formation in a continuous process.
