Publication number: 20090012601Abstract: An improved stent system for treating a bifurcation. Up to three stents are mounted on two parallel balloon catheters wherein a proximal stent is disposed about both balloons while two distal stents are each disposed about one of the balloons. Such configuration enhances the flexibility of the assembly to facilitate its advancement through tortuous vasculature, while the structural independence of the stents maximizes the systems ability to spread into a wide range of bifurcation angles. A single link between each distal stent and the proximal stent may be relied upon to maintain relative stent position during deployment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2007Publication date: January 8, 2009Applicant: ABBOTT CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Cynthia K. Siu, Thomas Ray Hatten, Brenna K. Hearn, Sushila W. Singh, Han Le Juanta, Santosh Prabhu, Bjorn Svensson

Patent number: 7218893Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to identify one or more interference sources in a mobile radio system, preferably in a GSM radio network for mobile telephones. A received signal (r) consists of a wanted signal and a number of interference signals of which one is a dominating interference signal and where all signals includes a known training sequence (TK1,TK2, . . . ). The carrier is estimated and subtracted from the received signal (r) giving a remaining interference signal (s).This signal is correlated against known training sequences (TKj, j=0,1,2, . . . ,7) resulting in a training sequence associated with the interfering signal. According to the invention, the identification code (BCC) of a possible interference source (BS1) from said training sequence is determined. After that, a number of candidates (CA1,CA2, ), each corresponding with a certain cell from the identification code (BCC) are determined and also the frequency which is disturbed and the timing offset (t1,t2, . . .

Publication number: 20050227657Abstract: Perceived interactivity in user communications is achieved by reducing a perceived delay switching the active transmitter in the communication without having to reduce actual transmission and setup delays associated with a communication exchange. A sound signal is identified in the user communication. The sound signal is analyzed to identify or estimate a sound signal segment. The sound signal segment is preferably (though not necessarily) located at the beginning or the end of the sound signal. The sound signal segment may be selected directly from the sound signal itself, from a modified version of the sound signal, or from a signal associated with the sound signal. A determination is made that a length or duration of the sound signal segment should be or can be modified. One or more modifications for the sound signal segment are determined and are provided to one or more processing units to perform the modification(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2004Publication date: October 13, 2005Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Tomas Frankkila, Jonas Svedberg, Krister Svanbro, Bjorn Svensson, Tomas Jonsson

Publication number: 20050228427Abstract: A method of making a catheter balloon or other expandable medical device, and a balloon or other device formed thereby, in which at least a portion of a tubular, wrapped sheet of polymeric material is heated with laser radiation to form a fused seam extending along at least a section of the length of the tubular body. In one embodiment, the portion of the sheet heated by laser radiation is less than the entire area of the sheet, so that the fused seam is formed by heating portions of the sheet without heating sections of the sheet spaced apart from the fused seam. In one embodiment, the sheet of polymeric material comprises a polymer having a porous and preferably a node and fibril microstructure, which in one embodiment is selected from the group consisting of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and expanded ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2005Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventors: Srinivasan Sridharan, Bjorn Svensson

Patent number: 4750916Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for cleansing a flow of hot contaminated gas (1), in which the contaminants comprise both dust particles and gaseous condensable contaminants. The gas is cooled in a heat exchanger in a first stage (2) to a temperature which lies above the temperature at which the gaseous contaminants begin to pass into their respective liquid phases. The gas is then cooled further, in a second stage (4), by mixing the gas with a colder gas flow (5), so as to bring the temperature of the gas to a level suitable for subsequent extraction of contaminants in a first dust separator (3, 3a), while condensing part of the gaseous contaminants present. Condensed contaminants are bound by adsorption and/or absorption to dust particles collected in the first dust separator (3, 3a).Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1987Date of Patent: June 14, 1988Assignee: Flakt ABInventor: Bjorn Svensson
