An elongate medical device includes a sensor configured to detect one or more characteristics of an electromagnetic field in which the device is disposed. The sensor includes an electrically-insulative substrate, rectangular in shape, and a patterned, conductive trace disposed on the substrate. The patterned trace includes a plurality of diagonal sections parallel to one another, arranged with a relatively low pitch. The substrate is wrapped into a cylindrical shape thereby forming a three-dimensional spiral capable of functioning as a micro-electromagnetic sensor. A medical positioning system is responsive to the signal from the sensor to determine a position and/or orientation of the sensor.

PCT No. PCT/EP97/06344 Sec. 371 Date May 20, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date May 20, 1999 PCT Filed Nov. 13, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/23868 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 4, 1998A microvalve has a base element provided with a passage opening, a tappet, a suspension device for guiding the tappet, and a piezoelectric actuator for actuating the tappet. The suspension device guides the tappet relative to the base element in such a way that the passage opening can be closed or opened by the tappet. The longitudinal dimensions of the piezoelectric actuator can be changed by the application of an electric voltage. Longitudinally spaced ends of the piezoelectric actuator are connected to longitudinally spaced ends of the suspension device in such a way that the suspension device provides a way for mechanical translation between the actuator and the tappet. A change in the longitudinal dimensions of the piezoelectric actuator caused by the application of an electric voltage to the piezoelectric actuator is mechanically translated by the suspension device into a movement of the tappet essentially at right angles to the longitudinal direction so that the passage opening will be opened or closed. In addition, the suspension device is secured to the base element with the aid of a hinge-like element. At least two spaced points are used to secure the suspension device to the base element.

The cooling air flow is created in this case by the fan wheel hub of the fan wheel driven by the electric motor.

The invention provides a vacuum pipeline docking technology and a high-speed permanent maglev train system. With the station-training docking technology, the door closing time of the maglev train inside the vacuum pipeline can be shortened for scores of seconds, so the rapid on-off can be realized.

The telescopic door is locked by a permanent magnet suction disc, and the locking force is free from being controlled by the electric power, so the gas leakage and pressure relief caused by the invalid locking for sudden power down can be prevented. The energy can be remarkably saved, the energy can be saved by more than 97 percent compared with that of high-speed track train, and the energy can be saved by more than 99 percent compared with that of the airplane.

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an oncoming solution to the communication bottleneck of System-on-Chip (SoC). For a good design, it runs a simulation verification before the design is realized. The key factors to the accuracy and simulation speed of a simulator depend on how the simulator abstracts the NoC design. The present invention provides an object-oriented NoC modeling, which divides the NoC design space into many design blocks and models them into many abstraction levels. The present invention defines these models carefully to obtain good hardware accuracy. The present invention also provides an object implementation library of different abstraction levels. Thereby, the present invention can reduce the coding time via selecting required components from the object implementation library, inheriting them with some modifications or using them directly. The present invention extends the design exploration space of NoC, preserves good hardware characteristics, and significantly reduces coding effort of a new NoC design.
