  • Publication number: 20040215764
    Abstract: Provided are an article of manufacture, method and system for rendering a visualization of a network of devices. Aggregate device representations are rendered, wherein at least one aggregate device representation provides a single representation for a plurality of the devices. Single device representations for the devices not represented by the at least one aggregate device representation are rendered. Connection representations of connections between rendered representations of the devices in the network are rendered.

  • Publication number: 20040215220
    Abstract: The present invention provides an anastomotic apparatus for a bypass, including an anastomotic stent with a side port, a bridge conduit including a first end and a second end, and a second anastomotic stent including a side port. The first end of the bridge conduit is in communication with the side port of the first anastomotic stent, and the second end of the bridge conduit is in communication with the side port of the second anastomotic stent. The first anastomotic stent is positionable in a first vessel and the second anastomotic stent is positionable in a second vessel, and the bridge conduit provides a pathway for fluid flow between the first vessel and the second vessel.

  • Publication number: 20040024573
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for providing information on components within a network. A user selected host and storage in the network is received and switches are determined to which the selected host and storage connect. Images representing the selected host and storage and all determined switches and connections therebetween are then rendered.

  • Patent number: 4930430
    Abstract: A pulverized fuel and air mixture is burnt in conditions giving relatively low NO.sub.x emissions by using a burner which has concentric passages for a primary air-fuel mixture and secondary and ternary air flows respectively. In the passage for the primary air-fuel mixture guide elements are provided at angularly spaced positions. The elements are arranged to deflect the flow in the passage and so produce regions of high fuel concentration. Downstream of the guide elements and adjacent the outlet of the passage flow disturbing members are provided in angularly spaced positions to modify the flow pattern of the air-fuel mixture at the passage outlet. The members assist stabilization of the flame front at the burner outlet and complement the action of the guide elements in promoting combustion conditions that lead to low NO.sub.x emissions.
