Abstract: A system and method of delivering and detaching an implant within a body of a patient is described. A tether connects an implant with a delivery device. The delivery device includes a heater coil through which the tether passes. The inner diameter of the heater coil is about the same size or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tether, allowing the tether to more efficiently break the tether during delivery.

Abstract: The ventilation pipe 60 having the openings at both the ceiling side and the bottom side is provided in the area where the rectification boards 50a to 50f are arranged, thereby nitrogen released from water (nitrogen released from water based on that gas dissolved in water is substituted by oxygen) can be moved to the ceiling side of the retainer body through the ventilation pipe 60. Thereby, nitrogen can be effectively exhausted from the exhaust opening 30a, thus it can be restrained that nitrogen is accumulated in the retainer body 10. Accordingly, it can be restrained that oxygen concentration (partial pressure) in the retainer body 10 decreases. Since oxygen quantity dissolved in water is increased, gas dissolved in water can be effectively substituted.

Abstract: A cylindrical case includes a case main body, and a groove disposed annularly at one end of the case main body. A peripheral wall of the case main body is formed by alternately laminating a biaxial fabric layer, which includes a biaxial fabric of a non-crimp structure composed of reinforcing fiber bands having an orientation angle of ±45°, and a roving layer. A groove wall of the groove is formed by alternately laminating the biaxial fabric layer, which continues to the case main body side, and a triaxial fabric layer, which includes a triaxial fabric of a non-crimp structure composed of reinforcing fiber bands having an orientation angle of ±45° and a reinforcing fiber band having an orientation angle of 0°.

Abstract: A catheter with one or more heated or detachable sections is described. The catheter may be useful for liquid embolic delivery, where the heated or detachable sections may help free the catheter when stuck to liquid embolic during delivery. An instrumented catheter is also described.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a mechanically releasable delivery system. More specifically, this embodiment includes an implantable device secured by tether at a distal end of the delivery system. The tether is fixed to the implantable device and looped around a selectively slidable mandrel. When the mandrel is retracted to expose its distal end, the looped tether slides off the mandrel, freeing the implantable device. Alternately, the tether can be fixed to the delivery system, wrapped around a portion of the implantable device and looped on to the slidable mandrel. Preferably, movement of the mandrel is controlled by an actuation control on the handle of the delivery system, allowing the user to selectively release the implantable device during a medical procedure.

Abstract: A coupling support member including a pair of divided pieces is placed between an end portion of a guide vane and an attachment flange, and the pair of divided pieces is joined to the vane end portion from both sides in the vane thickness direction. A linear protrusion is formed on one of joint surfaces of the vane end portion. A groove engaged with the linear protrusion is formed in one of respective joint surfaces of the pair of divided pieces. The vane end portion is fastened between the pair of divided pieces. It is possible to obtain a high structural strength while contributing to a reduction in weight of a jet engine.

Abstract: A broadcast image output device includes: a reception unit that receives a broadcast; a communication unit that communicates with the download server; an output that outputs each of home screens; a memory unit that holds the home screens; and a control unit that selects one of the home screens and causes the output unit to output the selected home screen as an initial screen to be displayed after power is turned ON. The control unit performs download processing for a new home screen via the communication unit, causes the memory unit to hold home-related information, and causes the output unit to output the new home screen generated based on the home-related information as the initial screen.

Abstract: To provide a cooling fluid supply apparatus capable of continuing cooling a heat load even when supply of a cooling fluid stops while the heat load is running. A cooling fluid circulation path connecting a cooling fluid supply apparatus and a heat load and a heat-dissipating fluid circulation path connecting the cooling fluid supply apparatus and a heat-dissipating fluid supply apparatus are connected with bypass pipes and disposed therebetween. When a cooling fluid is supplied from the cooling fluid supply apparatus to the heat load, the cooling fluid circulation path and heat-dissipating fluid circulation path are disconnected by closing the bypass pipes and by using the overheating prevention valves.

Abstract: An embolic coil is described used for occlusive purposes in the vasculature is described. The embolic or occlusive coil utilizes different techniques to both enhance the occlusive effect of the coil within the vasculature and to help guide the embolic coil into its deployed shape in the vasculature.

Abstract: An embolic coil which can be used for occlusive purposes in the vasculature is described. A mandrel for manufacturing a coiled structure, and method/process for manufacturing a coiled structure is described.

Abstract: An electric conduction structure for conducting and diverting electric current from a vane main body of an cutlet guide vane into en exterior support structure is comprised of: a sheath of a metal covering a leading edge of the vane main body; and an electrically conductive pad of the metal comprising a contact portion so dimensioned as to have an overlap with an end of the sheath, and a washer portion into which a bolt for being tightened into the support structure is insertable, wherein any joints of a weld, a spot-weld, a solder, a bond by an electrically conductive paste and a crimp establish connection between the end of the sheath and the contact portion.

Abstract: The authentication system includes a plurality of user terminals that are used by the same user, and a server capable of communicating with the plurality of user terminals. A user terminal transmits, to the server, an identification ID of the user terminal, a first code that is used in common in the plurality of user terminals, and a second code that was encrypted using the first code. The server is configured to decrypt the encrypted second code using the first code, and perform authentication of the user terminal using the identification ID and the decrypted second code. The server, upon receiving a second code that is not encrypted from one of the plurality of user terminals, transmits the second code that was encrypted using the first code to the one of the user terminals.

Abstract: A blank sheet including a plurality of main fibers arranged in parallel with each other, auxiliary fibers and a resin that consolidates the fibers is heated to a temperature at which the resin softens, and then pressed against a fan blade mold with the direction of the main fibers aligned with the longitudinal direction of the fan blade mold. The fan blade mold is shaped so that the length thereof in the longitudinal direction along the surface of a center part thereof in the width direction is shorter than the length thereof in the longitudinal direction along the surface of end parts thereof in the width direction. When the blank sheet is pressed against the fan blade mold, a center part in the width direction of the blank sheet at an end part in the longitudinal direction is pulled with a greater force than end parts in the width direction of the blank sheet at the end part in the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing occurrence of wrinkling.

Abstract: A heated blank sheet is held by a frame-like shaped blank holder device, the blank sheet including a plurality of main fibers arranged in parallel with each other, a plurality of auxiliary fibers arranged in parallel with each other so as to intersect with the main fibers, and a resin that consolidates the main fibers and the auxiliary fibers, and the blank sheet held by the blank holder device is pressed against a fan blade mold with the direction of the main fibers aligned with a longitudinal direction of the fan blade mold to apply an appropriate tension along the direction of the main fibers to the blank sheet, thereby preventing occurrence of wrinkling.
