Abstract: A flexible delivery catheter comprising an outer jacket with a first portion and a second portion, a coil layer, and a coupler. The first portion and second portion of the outer jacket have a first inner diameter and a second inner diameter where the second inner diameter is greater than the first inner diameter. The change in diameter from the first inner diameter to the second inner diameter creates a shoulder. The coupler is coupled to the distal end of the outer jacket such that a cavity is formed by the coupler, the second portion of the outer jacket, and the shoulder of the outer jacket. A coil layer or hypotube is disposed within the cavity.

Abstract: There is disclosed a removable shelf (1) for rigid containers (100) for transporting dry goods, the removable shelf (1) comprising at least one shelf locator (10, 11) usable such that the removable shelf (1) can be attached face-to-face to a wall (101) of the containers (100), or to an intermediate removable shelf (2) attached to said wall (101). In this way, one or more removable shelves (1) can be attached to the wall of a container (100).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing products from warm dough, which includes producing a dough by means of cooking; dispensing the dough into a first container up to a predetermined level; inserting, while the dough is warm, a first forming cutting mold provided with a plurality of tubular cells in the shape of the product to be obtained, for example, a croquette, to fill each of the cells with the dough; and rapidly cooling, thereby forming the croquettes, which are pushed out by means of a first ejector mold to obtain a plurality of croquettes simultaneously. Any leftover dough is dispensed warm into a second container provided with a movable separator, which moves after dispensing, until the dough reaches the predetermined level, and the previous steps are repeated.

Abstract: A method for congestion control in a data communication protocol employing acknowledged communication may include measuring a flight size. A transmission rate may be measured. A trend of the flight size may be determined. A trend of the transmission rate may be determined, and the trend may be derived from a transmission rate gradient calculation, in which either the transmission rate measurements or the transmission rate gradient calculations or both may be filtered to reduce their temporal variability. Whether there is a congestion may be detected according to the determined trend of the transmission rate and the trend of the flight size. Upon detection of the congestion, a change may be made from a current congestion control state to a new congestion control state. Data may be transmitted while respecting a maximum amount of unacknowledged data which the transmitting node may transmit. An apparatus is also disclosed.
