Patent EP-1229863-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ZARBATANY DAVID J
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: A modular elongated stent having an overlap region where two modular components fit together, the overlap region being relatively stiff as compared to another more flexible region of the stent when the stent is in an assembled configuration, the stent further comprising a mimic region that has a stiffness essentially equivalent to the stiffness of the overlap region, to provide kink resistance. A stent having such a mimic region or otherwise stiff region and a flexible region may have a transition region between the stiff and flexible regions, such as a bridging material attached to the stent, also to provide kink resistance. A stent may have relatively stiff regions and relatively flexible regions positioned to align the flexible regions with curved regions of a body lumen when deployed within the body lumen. The stiffness of the stiff, flexible, and transition regions may be controlled by attaching material to the stent, varying the cross-sectional area of the stent components, varying the metallurgical properties thereof, and/or by varying the stent architecture. Methods for providing kink resistance by controlling stent stiffness are also disclosed. A stent having regions of different metallurgical properties is also disclosed, as are methods for creating such a stent.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling introduced air in a metal oxide
reducing furnace, an introduced-air-flow-rate SA is determined
by adding an adjusted value A given from an oxygen density
controlling system to a required-air-reference-flow-rate RA
demanded by the charging amount of pellets. The introduced-air-flow-rate
is controlled where the required-air-reference-flow-rate
RA is the feed forward value. Thus, if the charging amount
of the pellet is varied, since the introduced-air-flow-rate SA
is determined by the adjusted value A and the required-air-reference-flow-rate
RA varied in response thereto, the control
response can be quickened without decrease of the stability.
Further, at the abnormality of the oxygen sensor, as the
adjusted value A is controlled to be zero, the required-air-reference-flow-rate
RA is decided of itself as the introduced-air-flow-rate
SA.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for quantum computation. According to the
invention qubit information may be encoded in passive states weakly interacting with the environment
or in active states strongly interacting with the environment and with other qubit
atoms. At least one selective pulse of an oscillating electromagnetic field is used to transfer
qubit information between the passive and the active state. According to the invention qubit-gating
operations are applied to selected atoms in an active state. 
     According to a preferred embodiment the passive states are nuclear spin states and the active
states are electron spin states and atoms are selected by a spatially varying magnetic field and
be setting the frequency of the pulses in resonance. The strong dipole-dipole-interaction between
electron magnetic moments of neighboring quantum computation atoms significantly
reduces the qubit-gating time required. Atoms of non-vanishing nuclear and electron spin may
be provided in the center of fullerene molecules. The spatially varying magnetic field may be
generated by currents through wires provided on a substrate surface.
