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.

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.

In order to reduce the surface of a support mast (2) of an aircraft engine in contact with the hot exhaust gases (18) of said engine, a vortex-generating device (24) is positioned on the surface of the mast (2), near the hot region (22). Thus, the vortex generated in the flow of cold gases (16) crosses the hot air and modifies its path, thus preventing it from reaching zones (22) of the mast that are not predefined. This system makes it possible to adapt to the operating conditions of an already-built aircraft, without any notable increased weight.

The present invention relates to a small fuel cell and a small fuel cell stack each allowing for improved output. Conventionally, in a direct methanol fuel cell, carbon dioxide gas produced at an anode electrode side is exhausted together with a methanol aqueous solution. From the methanol aqueous solution, the carbon dioxide gas is separated, and then the methanol aqueous solution is reused as fuel. In this case, a liquid-gas separation device needs to be provided additionally, which results in a large fuel cell with an increased weight, disadvantageously. The present invention is made to solve such a problem by providing a fuel cell including a first unit cell having a cathode electrode, an electrolyte membrane, an anode electrode, and an anode collector layer in this order; and one or more spacers arranged on the anode collector layer. The anode collector layer has a fuel flow path for supplying fuel to the anode electrode, and a through hole for exhausting a reaction product generated by reaction in the anode electrode. Each of the spacers has an exhaust flow path for exhausting the reaction product to outside the fuel cell. The through hole and the exhaust flow path communicate with each other.

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.
