摘要： An endoprosthesis expansion system having, in combination, a delivery component such as a length of catheter tubing having at its distal end an intermediate sheath component, and an inner tube within the full length of the delivery catheter and intermediate sheath component. The inner tube has a protrusion affixed to its distal end, and an expandable endoprosthesis is fitted in a compacted state about the intermediate sheath, immediately proximal to the protrusion. If the endoprosthesis is a self-expanding endoprosthesis (as is preferred), an exterior constraining sheath is required around the outer surface of the endoprosthesis. Following insertion of the endoprosthesis and delivery system into a body conduit (such as a blood vessel) and transport of the endoprosthesis to the desired site within the body conduit, the endoprosthesis is deployed by axially moving the protrusion against the system, thereby applying a radially directed outward force and causing simultaneous dilatation of the intermediate sheath and disruption of the exterior constraining sheath. Disruption of the exterior constraining sheath, in the case of a self-expanding prosthesis, releases the stored energy in the formerly constrained prosthesis, allowing it to expand and accomplish full deployment against the luminal surface of the body conduit at the desired site.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a deployment system for a self-expanding endoluminal device. The deployment system includes a confining sheath placed around a compacted endoluminal device so that upon deployment the sheath is transitioned into an internal deployment line housed within the catheter. The deployment system is configured to prevent rotation of the catheter relative to the deployment line during deployment line actuation.

摘要： Large diameter self-expanding endoprosthetic devices, such as stents and stent grafts for delivery to large diameter vessels, such as the aorta, are disclosed having very small compacted delivery dimensions. Devices with deployed dimensions of 26 to 40 mm or more are disclosed that are compacted to extremely small dimensions of 5 mm or less, enabling percutaneous delivery of said devices without the need for surgical intervention. Compaction efficiencies are achieved by combining unique material combinations with new forms of restraining devices, compaction techniques, and delivery techniques. These inventive devices permit consistent percutaneous delivery of large vessel treatment devices. Additionally, small endoprosthetic devices are disclosed that can be compacted to extremely small dimensions for delivery through catheter tubes of less than 1 mm diameter.

摘要： The aspects of the present invention provide a computer implemented method, an apparatus, and a computer usable program code for identifying a service processor with current setting information. First stored information for a service processor is retrieved from a first memory in the first service processor. Second stored information for the service processor is retrieved from a second memory in a data processing system to which the service processor is connected. The first stored information is compared with the second stored information to form a comparison as to whether the service processor was previously connected to the data processing system and to determine whether the service processor was a last service processor to fully communicate with system firmware in the data processing system. The service processor has current setting information if the service processor was previously connected to the data processing system and was the last service processor to fully communicate with the system firmware.

摘要： The present invention relates to the design and manufacture of single cell units for planar, thin-film, ceramic electrochemical devices such as solid oxide fuel cells, electrochemical oxygen generators, gas separation membranes, and membrane modules and stacks and the fabrication of multi-cell stacks and modules of the single cell units. The design is based upon a single cell wherein manufacturing all layers of the device into an integral unit produces a monolithic structure. The design produces a gas-tight single cell that is easily assembled into multi-cell stacks and modules without external seals or sealing mechanisms. The design may use standard ceramic and metallurgical production techniques. The design of the present invention enhances device performance since the single cell units are inherently sealed for gas tightness and have reduced interfacial electrical resistances. All these features of the novel monolithically integrated unit cell design result in lower manufacturing costs for ceramic electrochemical devices.
