A vaso-occlusive device includes a microcoil formed into a minimum energy state secondary configuration comprising a plurality of curved segments, each defining a discrete axis, whereby the device, in its minimum energy state configuration, defines multiple axes. In a preferred embodiment, the secondary configuration-comprises a plurality of interconnected closed loops defining a plurality of discrete axes. In a second embodiment, the secondary configuration defines a wave-form like structure comprising an array of laterally-alternating open loops defining a plurality of separate axes. In a third embodiment, the secondary configuration forms a series of tangential closed loops, wherein the entire structure subtends a first angle of arc, and wherein each adjacent pair of loops defines a second angle of arc. In a fourth embodiment, the secondary configuration forms a logarithmic spiral. In all embodiments, the device, in its secondary configuration, has a dimension that is substantially larger than the largest dimension of the vascular site (i.e., aneurysm) in which it is to be deployed. Thus, confinement of the device within an aneurysm causes it to assume a three-dimensional configuration with a higher energy state than the minimum energy state. Because the minimum energy state configuration of the device is larger (in at least one dimension) than the aneurysm, the deployed device is constrained by its contact with the walls of the aneurysm from returning to its minimum energy state configuration. The engagement of the device with the aneurysm wall minimizes shifting or tumbling due to blood flow. Furthermore, the secondary configuration is not conducive to “coin stacking,” thereby minimizing the compaction experienced.

A three phase buck power converter having input power control is described. The power converter uses a three input buck converter comprising switches for each phase, a catch rectifier, an inductor and an output capacitor. The duty cycle of the three switches is constrained to have a sine function relationship that may be derived from the input voltage wave form or from a reference oscillator. When so constrained, the input currents have high power factor. The output is a precise, high quality dc voltage, comparable to the output of a dc—dc buck converter, and the dynamic response is comparable. Voltage mode and current mode controls are shown, as is a precise line regulation feed forward for the voltage mode embodiment. The three phase buck power converter may be operated in reverse as a three phase boost converter, as they are reciprocal. A three phase ac—ac converter may have a three phase buck converter as its input and a three phase boost converter as its output.

Embodiments are provided for guard band utilization for synchronous and asynchronous communications in wireless networks. A user equipment (UE) or a network component transmits symbols on data bands assigned for primary communications. The data bands are separated by a guard band having smaller bandwidth than the data bands. The UE or network component further modulates symbols for secondary communications with a spectrally contained wave form, which has a smaller bandwidth than the guard band. The spectrally contained wave form is achieved with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation or with joint OFDM and Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM) modulation. The modulated symbols for the secondary communications are transmitted within the guard band.

A hydrodynamically lubricating geometry for the generally circular dynamic sealing lip of rotary seals that are employed to partition a lubricant from an environment. The dynamic sealing lip is provided for establishing compressed sealing engagement with a relatively rotatable surface, and for wedging a film of lubricating fluid into the interface between the dynamic sealing lip and the relatively rotatable surface in response to relative rotation that may occur in the clockwise or the counter-clockwise direction. A wave form incorporating an elongated dimple provides the gradual convergence, efficient impingement angle, and gradual interfacial contact pressure rise that are conducive to efficient hydrodynamic wedging. Skewed elevated contact pressure zones produced by compression edge effects provide for controlled lubricant movement within the dynamic sealing interface between the seal and the relatively rotatable surface, producing enhanced lubrication and low running torque.

A detached island effect test method and a device based on active frequency deviation relate to a test method and a device to test distributive new energy grid integration power supply, in particular to a detached island effect test method and a device based on active frequency deviation. Regarding the utility model, 25 cyclic waves form a major cycle. Chopped wave rate cf of the first 15 cyclic waves is 0, and variance trend of the frequency is tested. Under the circumstance that frequency tends to rise, frequency disturbance with the chopped wave rate of cf is added in the grid frequency in the last ten cyclic waves, and initial value cfmax of the chopped wave rate cf is positive. Under the circumstance that the frequency tends to reduce, frequency disturbance with the chopped wave rate of cf is added in the grid frequency in the last ten cyclic waves, and initial value cfmin of the chopped wave rate cf is negative. By adopting the invention, not only the operation probability of the detached island tested is improved; but also testing time is reduced, and current harmonics injected into the grid is reduced.
