Methods and devices for treating obesity by combining known bariatric surgeries with a method for disrupting the vagal nerve. The method for disrupting the vagal nerve comprises use of a high energy delivery device which is positioned within the esophagus to deliver transesophageal energy to interrupt the function of one or both branches of the vagal nerves. Combination of this method with known methods, such as gastric bypass and gastric banding, may increase weight loss by the patient in comparison to a single treatment on its own. In addition, methods and devices for disposing a restrictive structure such as a mesh around a selected segment of the gastrointestinal tract prevents enlargement of the segment.

A polymer composite composed of a polymerized mixture of functionalized carbon nanotubes and monomer which chemically reacts with the functionalized nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are functionalized by reacting with oxidizing or other chemical media through chemical reactions or physical adsorption. The reacted surface carbons of the nanotubes are further functionalized with chemical moieties that react with the surface carbons and selected monomers. The functionalized nanotubes are first dispersed in an appropriate medium such as water, alcohol or a liquefied monomer and then the mixture is polymerized. The polymerization results in polymer chains of increasing weight bound to the surface carbons of the nanotubes. The composite may consists of some polymer chains imbedded in the composite without attachment to the nanotubes. The resulting composite yields superior chemical, physical and electrical properties over polymer composites that are only physically mixed and without binding to the surface carbons of the nanotubes.

Probabilistic arbitration is combined with distance-based weights to achieve equality of service in interconnection networks, such as those used with chip multiprocessors. This arbitration desirably used incorporates nonlinear weights that are assigned to requests. The nonlinear weights incorporate different arbitration weight metrics, namely fixed weight, constantly increasing weight, and variably increasing weight. Probabilistic arbitration for an on-chip router avoids the need for additional buffers or virtual channels, creating a simple, low-cost mechanism for achieving equality of service. The nonlinearly weighted probabilistic arbitration includes additional benefits such as providing quality-of-service features and fairness in terms of both throughput and latency that approaches the global fairness achieved with age-base arbitration. This provides a more stable network by achieving high sustained throughput beyond saturation. Each router or switch in the network may include an arbiter to apply the weighted probabilistic arbitration.

A snow bike system includes a motorcycle converted for use in the snow with a rear suspension and belt track system. The belt track is relatively very wide and driven by a front wheel sprocket through a jackshaft. Matching shocks and struts in the rear suspension independently equalize the pressure applied to the ground. The rear strut is a sliding extension type that causes the front of the sliders to kick up when fully compressed during acceleration or climbing uphill. Increased weight on the rear track is shifted forward to keep the front ski down. The jackshaft provides both disc braking and moves the motorcycle engine drive power outboard to accommodate the wider belt track. A tubular subframe and tunnel rigidly mounts to the motorcycle's original rear swing arm pivots and shock mounts.
