Title: Pabx common channel relay system
Inventor: BABIARZ JOZEF Z
IPC: H04Q3/42
Filed: 1991-09-30
Abstract: A high speed communication link between peripheral nodes and a single multi-link layer protocol (MLAP) controller with an integrated HDLC framer in a main control complex.  Peripheral nodes contain a very simple control that forwards all the HDLC D-channel data from the peripherals to a single MLAP controller, thus making the peripheral nodes small in physical size, extremely flexible to connect to new interfaces and very portable.  Accordingly it facilitates the efficient distributed deployment of the PABX.  Using the described system, the PABX itself may be distributed around a building, using a backbone high speed link.  Peripheral nodes may be located at various places in a building with peripherals such as line interfaces and associated digital telephones at locations as needed.  They need not be centralized, adjacent the main control complex, as is now required.  This facilitates the provision of a building with a flexible communication system having substantially reduced wiring requirements.  The bit rate of transmission of HDLC formatted data is changed from 16 kb/s or 64 kb/s to 2.048 mb/s and visa versa.  Plural modified HDLC packets are multiplexed to one physical link that is terminated by an HDLC framer inside the multi-link access protocol controller or, from one MLAP controller, many peripherals can be accessed and controlled.  The functions of the present invention are transparent to the end-point HDLC framers and hence to the link layer protocol and peripheral software.

Title: Apparatus for deploying body implantable stents
Inventor: HEALY STEVEN J
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1993-11-17
Abstract: A stent deployment device includes a flexible, elongate interior catheter (38) and a retaining structure (20) cooperating with the catheter (38) to support a stent along a distal end support region of the catheter (38). The stent is supported in a reduced radius delivery state to facilitate delivery to a treatment site in a body lumen, by advancing the device over a previously positioned guidewire. An opening at the distal end of the device receives the guidewire into a guidewire lumen (46) of the interior catheter (38). A second opening (52) through the catheter wall just proximally of the support region allows passage of the guidewire to the exterior of the catheter, whereby the guidewire is contained within the device only along the distal end region. The retaining means (20) can include an exterior catheter (20) surrounding the interior catheter (38) and stent, and moveable axially relative to the interior catheter (38). A portion of the guidewire proximally of the second opening (52) is contained between the catheters, and can be removed from the exterior catheter (20) through a slit (53) running axially along the exterior catheter (20).  Alternatively, the retaining means can include a pair of spaced apart sleeves (124, 126) integral with the interior catheter (112) and frictionally retaining opposite ends of the stent, to maintain the stent in the delivery state. In this case the catheter further supports a dilatation balloon (122) surrounded by the stent. The balloon (122) is expanded to free the stent from the sleeves (124, 126).
