  • Flexible stent-graft
    Publication number: 20060149351
    Abstract: A stent graft is provided which has two stent sections having different functions on, for example, a tubular graft. One stent section preferably comprises a plurality of circumferential reinforcing hoops and the other a Z-stent. The two sections are preferably separated by a spacer section and the tubular graft preferably increases in diameter from the Z-stent section to the hooped section. This enables the stent graft to be compressed radially so that it can be inserted in a catheter for later delivery to a body lumen.

  • Indicator for headroom extension system for tape recorders
    Patent number: 4345281
    Abstract: A visual indicator for a tape or cassette recorder, which includes a noise-reduction system which in addition to varying the amplitude level of the recorded signal also varies the high frequency pre-emphasis and the bias current applied to the tape. Decreasing the bias current when high amplitude, high frequency signals are present increases the headroom available on the tape. The visual indicator provides an indicator of the amount of headroom when recording.
