摘要:
A surgically implantable urethra pressure control valve is described. It comprises a clamp having a pair of spaced-apart clamping arms. A urethra passage is defined between the clamping arms. At least one of the clamping arms is a displaceable clamping arm movable towards the other clamping arm to a predetermined position spaced from the other clamping arm a distance sufficient to pinch and close an inner passage of the urethra when disposed in the urethra passage whereby to arrest the flow of urine. An actuator is provided to effect the displacement of the displaceable clamping arm. The actuator may be a remote control to operate the valve or an implanted sphincter to apply a closing pressure upon the urethra.

A method (20) of making a fuel is disclosed. The method has a first step of exposing a liquid having biologically derived particles therein to an ultrasonic wave producing cavitation in the liquid and release of a precursor of the fuel from at least some of the particles into the liquid (22). The method also comprises the step of exposing the liquid with another ultrasonic wave insufficient to produce substantial cavitation in the liquid, the another ultrasonic wave providing a reaction between the liquid and the precursor to form the fuel (24).

The invention involves a method and a system for station (STA) switching when a wireless terminal point (WTP) completes wireless local area network (WLAN) privacy infrastructure (WPI) in a convergent WLAN. The method includes steps as follows. The STA implements re-association rebinding process with a target access controller (AC) over a target WTP. A base key is requested by the target AC from an associated AC. An associated WTP is informed to delete the STA by the associated AC, and the target WTP is informed to add the STA by the target AC. A session key is negotiated based on the requested base key by the STA and the target AC, and is synchronized between the target AC and the target WTP. The method enables fast and safe switching of the STA between WTPs under the control of different controllers in the convergent WLAN based on WAPI protocol.

To provide a vehicle fender liner configured to easily form a solid shape and exhibit superior sound-absorption performance and excellent anti-icing, a fender liner 10 serving as a sound-absorption member to be attached to a vehicle includes a base-material layer 11 having sound-absorption function. The base-material layer 11 is formed into a solid shape of a fender liner by producing a sheet of a fibrous web 14 obtained by interlocking main fibers 12 and binder fibers 13 having a melting point lower than that of the main fibers 12, integrally providing a waterproof protective film of an LDPE resin, and then performing hot press mold.

A fast reactor 1 includes: a reactor vessel 7 accommodating therein a core 2 and a primary coolant 21; a core support 13 supporting the core 2 from below; and a bulkhead 6 disposed on the core support 13, the bulkhead 6 extending upward and surrounding the core 2 from a lateral side. Between an inner surface of the reactor vessel 7 and the bulkhead 6, there is disposed an intermediate heat exchanger 15 configured to cool the primary coolant 21, and an electromagnetic pump 14 configured to pressurize the cooled primary coolant 21. A neutron shield 8 supported by an upper supporting plate 29 from above is disposed below the electromagnetic pump 14. The upper supporting plate 29 has an opening 29a. Between an outlet 14b of the electromagnetic pump 14 and the upper supporting plate 29, there is disposed a coolant guide mechanism 17 configured to guide the pressurized primary coolant 21 from the electromagnetic pump 14 to the neutron shield through the opening 29a of the upper supporting plate 29.
摘要:
A medical device includes a tube, at least one imaging sensor coupled to an endoscope in the tube, and a monitor application to monitor positioning of the tube in a medical patient by identifying expected anatomical features in images provided by the at least one sensor. A method for endotracheal intubation includes receiving imaging frames from a sensor located in an endotracheal tube inserted through a patient's mouth, and processing the imaging frames to identify a progression of anatomical features consistent with a proper placement of the endotracheal tube.
