摘要:
A system and method is disclosed to provide data services to subscribers who are remotely located from a central office (e.g. greater than about 16,000 ft). A remote service area interface (“SAI”) is placed proximate to the remote subscribers and the SAI facilitates long distance communications. The SAI has a first interface that can be connected to numerous subscribers and a second interface that can be connected to a central office. The system and method can effectively provide services utilizing existing telephone lines between the subscribers and the central office. The SAI can also receive power over existing telephone lines from the central office.

The invention relates to a catheter introducer comprising: a tube-like introducer sheath; an introducer hub having a distal section and a proximal section, wherein the distal section is joined to the proximal end of the introducer sheath and the proximal section defines a chamber; a needle extending through the introducer hub and the introducer sheath and having opposite proximal and distal ends, the distal end forming a needle tip; a needle hub attached to the proximal end of the needle; a needle safety device slidably arranged on the needle, wherein the needle safety device is retained in the chamber of the introducer hub when the needle extends through the introducer hub and the introducer sheath, and removable from the introducer hub once the needle tip is received in the needle safety device upon withdrawal of the needle from the introducer sheath.

Embodiments of the invention comprise methods and systems for modifying the geometry data of a CAD object through modification of an arbitrary cross section, the CAD object being stored within a computer aided design modeling system. The method includes receiving, from a user the position and orientation of a cross section plane, the cross section plane being arbitrarily positioned relative to the orientation of a CAD object, and wherein the arbitrarily positioned and oriented plane is intersecting the CAD object. The CAD system generates a user modifiable two dimensional cross section from the intersection of the cross section plane and the CAD object, the cross section having a plurality user modifiable control elements. Changes to the control elements are correspondingly made to the cross section plane and the CAD object.

This invention relates to a bogie (10), including a load bearing point (11), a wheel set portion (12) and an intervening spring suspension (13). A load weigh valve (15) is fixed between the load portion (11) and the spring (16) of the suspension (13). The valve (15) is mounted within a wedge element (19) so that it continually measures the vertical load.

A high speed technique for options pricing in the financial industry is disclosed that can provide both high throughput and low latency. A parallel/pipelined architecture is disclosed for computing an implied volatility in connection with an option. Parallel/pipelined architectures are also disclosed for computing an option's theoretical fair price. Preferably these parallel/pipelined architectures are deployed in hardware, and more preferably reconfigurable logic such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to accelerate the options pricing operations relative to conventional software-based options pricing operations.

A valve-retrieval device permits a non-deployed valve mounted on a balloon catheter to be retracted back into an introducer sheath for removal from a patient's body. In particular embodiments, the valve-retrieval device is adapted to be placed on a balloon catheter shaft and then advanced over the shaft into the blood vessel via the introducer sheath. The valve-retrieval device has an expandable distal end portion that assumes an expanded shape when advanced out of the introducer sheath. The valve is positioned within or adjacent the distal end portion of the retrieval device, and the retrieval device and the balloon catheter are retracted together back into the introducer sheath. The distal end portion of the retrieval device, rather than the outer surface portion of the valve covered thereby, contacts the distal end and inner surface of the introducer sheath to facilitate retraction of the valve into the introducer sheath.

A navigational mirror system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror having a reflective element. A display, optionally a video display, is disposed to the rear of the reflective element and emits light when actuated that passes through the reflective element to be visible to a driver of the vehicle viewing a front portion of the reflective mirror element. A user input comprising a destination address is provided from a driver of the vehicle when the vehicle is at an initial geographic location. The display displays driving instructions that provide instructions to the destination address. The driving instructions are viewable by a person viewing the front portion of the reflective element. A particular instruction of the driving instructions is preferably displayed when it is appropriate to display the particular instruction to the driver of the vehicle.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for determining contexts of information analyzed. Contexts may be determined for words, expressions, and other combinations of words in bodies of knowledge such as encyclopedias. Analysis of use provides a division of the universe of communication or information into domains, and selects words or expressions unique to those domains of subject matter as an aid in classifying information. A vocabulary list is created with a macro-context (context vector) for each, dependent upon the number of occurrences of unique terms from a domain, over each of the domains. This system may be used to find information or classify information by subsequent inputs of text, in calculation of macro-contexts, with ultimate determination of lists of micro-contests including terms closely aligned with the subject matter.
摘要:
An electronic system has a controller device, at least one controller responsive device operating in response to the controller device, and at least one status indicating device arranged to provide a control status output. The response mode of operation of the controller responsive device is predetermined dependent upon the control status output of a predetermined one or more of the status indicating devices, the control status output being one of a predetermined plurality of different output modes.
