摘要:
A method for rejuvenation of an energy storage unit may include predicting at least one permissible time period to perform a rejuvenation process on the energy storage unit. The method may also include performing the rejuvenation process in response to one of detecting the at least one permissible time period, and both detecting the at least one permissible time period and the energy storage unit being in a predetermined state.

An electrophoresis apparatus for processing compounds in small sample volumes comprising a cathode in a static cathode buffer zone or compartment, an anode in a static anode buffer zone or compartment. The cathode disposed relative to the anode so as to be adapted to generate an electric field in an electric field area therebetween upon application of a voltage potential between the cathode and anode. A removable cartridge disposed in the electric field area between the anode and the cathode. The cartridge containing a first non-isoelectric separation barrier and also a second non-isoelectric separation barrier disposed between a selected one of the cathode buffer zone and the anode buffer zone and the first barrier so as to define a first chamber having an interstitial volume of less than 5 ml therebetween.

A system, method and apparatus for autonomically assisting in the creation of an administrative policy. The method can include detecting a stimuli in a system under study and monitoring a response by a systems administrator to the stimuli. The stimuli and the response can be forwarded to a policy maker suited to analyze the stimuli and the response. Also, the policy maker can be queried for a preferred response to the stimuli. Based upon the preferred response to the stimuli, a policy for responding to the stimuli can be formulated. As such, the policy can be enforced in managing the system under study. Moreover, the policy can be forwarded for future consideration to the systems administrator.

A catheter includes a handle, a catheter sheath and a stylet having a shaped distal part received within the catheter sheath. The catheter includes a catheter shape release mechanism comprising the catheter handle and an elongate catheter sheath carrier. The catheter sheath carrier is slidable between a first position in which the shaped distal part of the stylet lies in register with the distal part of the catheter sheath to impart that shape to the catheter sheath and a second position in which the shaped distal part of the stylet is located proximally of the distal part of the catheter sheath. The catheter shape release mechanism enables retraction of the handle and the stylet while keeping the catheter sheath in place in case the catheter snags on tissue when in use.

A steerable stylet includes an elongate tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a passage with a bend-enhancing region being arranged intermediate the proximal end and the distal end. The bend-enhancing region is constituted by an array of longitudinally spaced slots. Each of at least some of the slots is substantially L-shaped and comprises a first portion arranged transversely to a longitudinal axis of the tubular member and a second portion arranged at an angle to the first portion. An actuator cooperates with the tubular member to effect bending of the tubular member about the bend-enhancing region of the tubular member.
摘要:
A communication system and method for optimizing a network (or web) conference. A communication system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes a network conference server, at least one mail server, a moderator's client device, a plurality of participants' client devices, a network interconnecting the servers and client devices, a network conference application executed by the network conference server, and an email application distributed amongst the mail server and the client devices. The network conference application receives from the moderator's client device a first communication comprising a conference schedule, participant details and conference material and transmits to the email application a second communication comprising a network address, the conference schedule, the participant details and the conference material.
摘要:
Components in a plurality of administrative domains that are communicatively coupled by a network are automatically managed. Permission to implement a corrective action in a second administrative domain is obtained by a management program in a first administrative domain that does not have existing permission to act in the second administrative domain. Responsive to obtaining the permission, the corrective action is implemented in the second administrative domain under control of the management program in the first administrative domain.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for managing instant messages, including the display of windows for incoming messages, as well as for managing status information for instant messaging users. In one aspect, an instant messaging user defines policy information to programmatically determine a response to an arriving instant message. As an example, the policy may control whether a new window will pop up for a newly-arriving message, and may specify other attributes of the window if desired. In another aspect, an instant messaging user defines attributes pertaining to how his instant messaging status will be presented to others.
摘要:
A catheter includes a handle, a catheter sheath and a stylet having a shaped distal part received within the catheter sheath. The catheter further has a shape adjustment mechanism including a stylet carrier displaceably carried by the handle and a shape adjuster in the form of a collar rotatable about the handle. Rotational movement of the shape adjuster imparts a motion to the stylet carrier to adjust the shape of the distal part of the stylet.
摘要:
A catheter handle includes a handle body having a proximal end and a distal end and a passage extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The handle body comprises a plurality of shell parts that can be separated to access an interior of the handle body. The handle further includes a connector mounted at the proximal end of the handle body and a strain relief arranged at the distal end, the strain relief and the connector being removably arranged relative to the handle body.
