摘要:
A medical device for capturing emboli from a blood vessel. An example medical device may include an elongated guide member. The elongated guide member may include a proximal end, a distal end, a first conductive lead, and a second conductive lead. The medical device may also include a power source connected to the first conductive lead and the second conductive lead. The medical device may also have a filter having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the first and second conductive leads. The activation of the power source may transition the filter from a first compressed shape to a second expanded shape.

A portable, self-contained incubation apparatus has a cell container in which a cell culture can grow. The cell container resides on a base along with other components that maintain the environmental conditions inside of the container within a desired range. The self-contained incubation apparatus is portable allowing the conditions within the cell container to be precisely controlled even as it is being moved from one location to another. Further, at least one transparent surface of the cell container enables observation of the cell culture. Thus, the culture can be observed while the environmental conditions within the container are being controlled by components of the incubation apparatus. Since the cells can be observed without breaking the air-tight seal of the container, observation of the cells can be performed as often as is desired without introducing contaminants to the culture or otherwise significantly affecting the growth environment within the container. Indeed, observation of the cells can be performed as often as is desired without introducing contaminants to the culture or otherwise significantly affecting the growth environment within the container.

An ambiance lighting system for a vehicular passenger compartment has a variable color light output which is automatically responsive to temperature changes. First and second light sources of different colors (e.g., blue and red) are positioned immediately behind the air discharge vents and are selectively energized by a control circuit so that the first light source radiates light through the vent when the temperature falls below a predetermined value and the second light sources energizes the second color of light when the air temperature rises above a predetermined value. Sensors are used to detect the temperature of air, preferably in the ducting plenum. Various control strategies can be deployed to achieve aesthetically interesting light presentations which enhance ambiance within the passenger compartment.

A mounting assembly (100) for a lamp socket (105) that is adjustable, comprises a bracket (101) configured to be mechanically coupled to a luminaire assembly and a mounting plate (103) configured to attach to the lamp socket and be mechanically coupled to the bracket and selectively engage the bracket at one of a multiplicity of angular rotations. A corresponding method of aligning a lamp to a desired rotational position with respect to a luminaire, includes disengaging a mounting plate from a bracket, where the mounting plate and the bracket are coupled about a common axis of rotation, rotating the mounting plate about the axis to a rotational position corresponding to the desired rotational position of the lamp and re-engaging the mounting plate and the bracket.
摘要:
A system for transmitting synchronized phasors over a wide area network. The system generally includes a plurality of phasor measurement units (PMUs). Each of the PMUs are associated with a secured portion of a power system and measure power system data from the secured portion of the power system associated therewith. The power system data is associated with a time-element. A power system data concentrator is further provided in communication with the phasor measurement units such that it aggregates and time-correlates the power system data. A configurable docking visualization tool or software is provided which communicates with the PMUs and data aggregators. The configurable tool provides an end user with the ability to dock or nest pre-configured forms for optimal viewing of synchronized phasor data and different power system quantities.

A tyre for a vehicle wheel comprising two sidewalls, a tread, beads, the sidewall intended to be positioned on the interior side of the vehicle being shorter than that intended to be positioned on the exterior side of the vehicle, a reinforcement structure extending between the beads and maintained in said beads by anchoring zones, each of the beads comprising a specific and distinct arrangement of the anchoring zone thereof, such that the anchoring zone of the bead intended to be positioned on the exterior side of the vehicle exhibits a greater anchoring capacity than the anchoring zone of the bead intended to be on the interior side of the vehicle. The internal and external anchoring zones are thus arranged in such a manner as to produce, in operation, a rim clamping load which is substantially identical on each side.

A method for packaging integrated circuits in a wafer format that eliminates wire bonds. A wafer substrate on which the integrated circuits have been fabricated is patterned and etched to form signal and ground via through the substrate. A back-side ground plane is deposited in contact with the ground vias. A protective layer is formed on the top surface of the substrate, and a protective layer is formed on the bottom surface of the substrate, where the bottom protective layer fills in removed substrate material between the integrated circuits. Vias are formed through the bottom protective layer, and the wafer substrate is diced between the integrated circuits.
