Abstract: A stent graft system includes a stent graft an inflatable fill structure, and a cuff. The inflatable fill structure at least partially surrounds the stent graft. In various arrangements, the inflatable fill structure has a cavity that is bifurcated. A portion of the cavity is configured to receive a branch stent graft for connection to the stent graft. The cuff is fillable and is located outside of the inflatable fill structure, and allows for providing a seal with a wall of a blood vessel. The cuff and the inflatable fill structure are separately fillable from each other to different pressures with fill medium. In various arrangements, the cuff has a tapered shape such that it is wider at one end than at an opposite end when filled with a fill medium. A method includes filling the cuff to a higher pressure than a pressure of the inflatable fill structure.

Abstract: A system includes an inner filling structure around a stent-structure and an outer filling structure around the inner filling structure. The inner filling structure can be configured to produce a proximal seal with a first portion of an artery at a proximal end and a distal seal with a second portion of an artery at a distal end when the inner filling structure is in an inflacted state. The outer filling structure can have an inner surface surrounding at least a portion of the inner filling structure. The outer filling structure can be configured to be inflatable to occupy a space within an aneurysm at a lower pressure than a pressure in the inner filling structure.

Abstract: A stent graft system includes a stent graft, a radially expandable scaffold, and an inflatable fill structure. The stent graft includes a body portion with a plurality of pleated sections that are configured to be extended from a telescopically compressed state to a longitudinally extended state. The radially expandable scaffold is attached to a top of the body portion, and has one or more fixation elements for penetrating into an aortic wall. The inflatable fill structure is attached at a top of the body portion and is configured to expand in a longitudinal direction as the body portion is extended in the longitudinal direction. The inflatable fill structure is also configured to expand in a radial direction to contact an inner surface of a blood vessel.

Abstract: In a graphics processing system, a first bounding volume (20) representative of the volume of all or part of a scene to be rendered is defined. Then, when rendering a scene for output, an intersection position (27) for a vector (24) with the first bounding volume (20) is determined by determining the position (51) intersected by the vector (24) on a second bounding volume (50) associated with the first bounding volume (20), using the determined position (51) to determine information indicative of an intersection position (27) for the first bounding volume (20) and the vector (24), and using the determined information to determine an intersection position (27) for the vector (24) with the first bounding volume (20).

Abstract: A wafer scale implementation of an opto-electronic transceiver assembly process utilizes a silicon wafer as an optical reference plane and platform upon which all necessary optical and electronic components are simultaneously assembled for a plurality of separate transceiver modules. In particular, a silicon wafer is utilized as a “platform” (interposer) upon which all of the components for a multiple number of transceiver modules are mounted or integrated, with the top surface of the silicon interposer used as a reference plane for defining the optical signal path between separate optical components. Indeed, by using a single silicon wafer as the platform for a large number of separate transceiver modules, one is able to use a wafer scale assembly process, as well as optical alignment and testing of these modules.
