A surgical fastener applying apparatus comprising a first jaw containing a first row of first surgical fasteners and a second row of second surgical fasteners and a second jaw containing a first row of first anvil pockets and a second row of second anvil pockets deforming the respective first and second rows of fasteners. At least one of the first fasteners has a first unformed length and a first formed length forming a single loop configuration to form a first compressive space when deformed by the anvil pocket. At least one of the second fasteners has a second unformed length and a second formed length forming a single loop configuration having a second compressive space. The first unformed length and first formed length of the at least one first fastener is less than the second unformed length and second formed length of the at least one second fastener.

A mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror element having at least one substrate that has a forward surface and a rearward surface. The mirror element comprises at least one substantially reflective metallic layer sandwiched between a respective pair of substantially transparent non-metallic layers. Each of the substantially transparent non-metallic layers and the substantially reflective metallic layer have a selected refractive index and a selected physical thickness such that the reflective element is selectively spectrally tuned to substantially transmit at least one preselected spectral band of radiant energy therethrough while substantially reflecting other radiant energy. A radiant energy emitting element is disposed at or near the rearward surface of the at least one substrate. The radiant energy emitting element is configured to emit radiant energy with a peak intensity within the at least one preselected spectral band.

Various methods for managing device-to-device interference are provided. One example method includes receiving an expected interference level for a resource block, where the expected interference level is represented by data indicative of interference associated with the resource block due to device-to-device communications using the resource block. The example method further includes selecting the resource block for a device-to-device communications session based at least in part on the expected interference level for the resource block. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided.

Methods and apparatus for performing radio resource management (RRM) measurements in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) are provided in an effort to prevent failure of RRM measurement procedures in a dominant interference scenario. Several alternatives are provided for determining particular resources (e.g., subframes) to use for performing the RRM measurements, wherein the particular resources are based on cooperative resource partitioning between cells of the HetNet, wherein the cells may be of different types (e.g., macro, pico, or femto cells). These alternatives include, for example: (1) intra-frequency or intra-RAT (radio access technology) alternatives, which may involve transmitting resource partitioning information (RPI) in or deriving non-serving cell RPI based on the serving cell's RPI, as well as (2) inter-frequency or inter-RAT alternatives, where the RRM measurements may be performed during a measurement gap.

A power amplifier system is provided that includes a power amplifier configured to receive an RF input. A DC-DC converter is coupled to the power amplifier. Clocking circuits drive the DC-DC converter. The clocking circuits use the RF input to generate a clock. The clock acts with the DC-DC converter to provide an output voltage used in the power amplifier.

A method for transmitting data over a data bus with minimized digital control and data inter-symbol interference. The voltage level on the data bus is not permitted to reach the quiescent negated voltage level set by the bus terminator voltage. Additional time is provided for data detection circuitry to detect a first segment of data transferred over the data bus. A pause time is enabled after the data bus has been idle or paused for a prolonged period. After the first segment of data has been transferred, the method returns to normal operation by pausing for a normal period of time for data detection circuitry to detect subsequent segments of data transferred over the data bus. Additionally, during prolonged synchronous data transfers with unchanged data bits, the data bus is inverted and driven for further regulating the data bus voltage.

An infusion system in which therapeutic substance from a reservoir is pumped by a bolus pump to an infusion port is disclosed. The therapeutic substance delivered by the bolus pump passes first through a passive check valve located downstream from the pump. The passive check valve opens in response to fluid pressure of the therapeutic substance. After passing through the passive check valve, the therapeutic substance passes through an active check valve located downstream from the passive check if the active check valve is actuated such that it is open. When not activated, the active check valve is closed and fluid flow through the active check valve in the downstream direction is prevented.

In a predetermined range from a nose portion toward a scroll finish side in a scroll casing of a centrifugal blower, a first clearance dimension on a side of a suction port between an outer periphery of a centrifugal fan and a side plate of the scroll casing is set smaller than a second clearance dimension on a side opposite to the suction port between the outer periphery of the centrifugal fan and the side plate of the scroll casing. In addition, in the vicinity of the nose portion, a first wall part of the scroll casing on the side of the suction port protrudes toward a scroll finish side, from a second wall part of the scroll casing on the side opposite to the suction port.

A radiation therapy System comprises a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus and a linear accelerator capable of generating a beam of radiation. The linear accelerator is immersed in and oriented with respect to the MRI magnetic field to expose the linear accelerator to magnetic force that directs particles therein along a central axis thereof.

Critical needs for MRI patient instruction, testing, comfort, motion control, and speech communication are provided for better imaging which leads to more effective medical care. An MRI Digital Video Projection System is disclosed which provides better quality display to the patient to better inform, instruct, test, and comfort the patient plus the potential to stimulate the brain with microsecond onset times to better diagnose brain function. An MRI Motion Tracker and Patient Augmented Visual Feedback System enables monitoring patient body part motion, providing real time feedback to the patient and / or technician to substantially improve diagnostic yield of scanning sessions, particularly for children and mentally challenged individuals. An MR Forward Predictive Noise Canceling Microphone System removes the intense MRI acoustic noise improving patient communication, patient safety and enabling coding of speech output. These systems can be used individually but maximum benefit is from providing all three.

The invention discloses a D2D discovery signal resource allocation method and system and related devices. The D2D devices receive system broadcast messages carrying public D2D discovery signal resource allocation information, and the public D2D discovery signal resource allocation information comprises a D2D discovery cycle and a public D2D discovery signal resource set; the D2D devices detect D2D discovery signals on corresponding public D2D discovery signal resources according to the public D2D discovery signal resource allocation information. According to the D2D discovery signal resource allocation method and system and the related devices, a base station can regulate the number and distribution of the D2D discovery signal resources according to network conditions and / or terminal device conditions, and therefore occupancy and interference, caused by the D2D discovery signals, on resources of a cellular network are strictly controlled while the discovery efficiency of the D2D devices is guaranteed. Besides, by means of D2D discovery signal resource allocation, the situation that the D2D devices initiating D2D discovery at the same time cannot discover one another can be avoided, and user experience can be prompted.
