Abstract: Expandable branching stent prostheses and methods of deployment for the same are discussed herein. An expandable branching stent prosthesis may include a trunk portion, a first branching portion, and a second branching portion that are for deployment at, respectively, a trunk, a first branch, and a second branch of a branching implant site of an anatomical system. Methods for deploying the expandable branching stent prostheses include delivering a deployment system including the expandable branding stent prostheses, a balloon, a distal end of a floss wire, and in some cases a sock to the branching implant site; connecting, to the floss wire, a distal end of a snare wire delivered to the branching implant site via the second branch, and using the two floss wires to manipulate the deployment system to effectuate the deployment. In some cases, the sock may be pulled down over the balloon after the deployment.

Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to export route data and connectivity data from a layout design of a package device. The route data describes a structure of an interconnect in the package device. The connectivity data characterizes an electrical interface between a first integrated circuit and the package device in the layout design. The computing system, based on the connectivity data associated with the first integrated circuit, can correlate the route data to pins of a second integrated circuit and identify net names for the route data and the second integrated circuit. The computing system can import the route data and the connectivity data to the layout design, which selectively realigns the route data in the layout design with the pins in the second integrated circuit, and also can allow the computing system to change net names corresponding to the route data connecting to the second integrated circuit.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) constructed with a carrier (2) on which circuit traces (8) attach to signal transmitting conductors (4) of electrical cables (3), an opening (12) through the carrier (2) at which conductors (4) of the cables (3) project for electrical connection to an electrical circuit positioned at the opening (12), and the traces (8) having different portions (15,21,24) that are spaced apart on different pitch spacing for connection to respective signal transmitting conductors that are spaced apart on corresponding different pitch spacings. The traces (8) may include test pads (13) in registration with windows (19) in the carrier (2).

Abstract: A method is disclosed for treating a lignocellulosic substrate in order to imrpove its nutritive value wherein a plant substrate is treated with a sufficient amount of an alkaline material and hydrogen peroxide, or a compound capable of generating hydrogen peroxide, for a sufficient period of time and the reaction mass is extruded to produce a product having increased nutrient availability.

Abstract: A platform (10) comprises a deck (12), leg pairs (14) pivoted to the deck, and screw mechanisms (28-38) coupled to the legs for pivoting the legs in unison towards and away from each other, respectively, to lower and raise the deck. The platform is yieldable due to flexibility inherent in the legs, which yieldability increases as the legs depart further from their vertical position. Such yieldability is particularly useful when a pair of such platforms is used as a raisable floor alongside of a balance beam (50) in gymnastic training, for helping the gymnast lose her fear of height, and for enabling a coach safely to spot the gymnast.
