Sequence alignment and sequence database similarity searching are among the most important and challenging task in bio informatics, and are used for several purposes, including protein function prediction. An efficient parallelisation of the Smith-Waterman sequence alignment algorithm using parallel processing in the form of SIMD (Single-Instruction, Multiple-Data) technology is presented. The method has been implementation using the MMX (MultiMedia eXtensions) and SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) technology that is embedded in Intel's latest microprocessors, but the method can also be implemented using similar technology existing in other modern microprocessors. Near eight-fold speed-up relative to the fastest previously an optimised eight-way parallel processing approach achieved know non-parallel Smith-Waterman implementation on the same hardware. A speed of about 200 million cell updates per second has been obtained on a single Intel Pentium III 500 MHz microprocessor.

Prosthesis loading and deploying systems include a capturing device with a proximal stent-engaging member and an elongate pulling member extending distally from the stent-engaging member. With a prosthesis or stent in a relaxed or enlarged-radius state, the pulling member is guided distally through a delivery catheter, pulling the stent-engaging member and prosthesis into the catheter lumen to progressively radially compress the prosthesis to a reduced-radius state. Simultaneously the distal end region of an elongate control device is maintained within a proximal region of the prosthesis, so that the prosthesis is compressed about the control device distal end region as these components enter the catheter. When the prosthesis is compressed about the control device, it tends to follow axial movement of the control device, thus to afford reliable positional control of the prosthesis inside the catheter by manipulating the control device.
