Connectors and connector wrappers explicitly specify the protocol of interaction among components and afford the reusable application of extra-functional behaviors, such as reliability policies. Ideally, these specifications can be used for more than just modeling and analysis. We are investigating how to use them in the design and implementation of the middleware substrate of a distributed sys...

To simplify and facilitate beating heart (i.e., off-pump), minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery, a new coronary anastomotic connector, the Trinity Clip, is developed based on the excimer laser-assisted nonocclusive anastomosis technique. The Trinity Clip connector enables simplified, sutureless, and nonocclusive connection of the graft to the coronary artery, and an excimer laser c...

The volatility of network environments requires service connections to adapt to changes of service resources and user requirements. In this paper, we treat service connections as individual components called service connectors and present an adaptable service connector model that adopts a role mechanism to adjust connections between services. A role is an abstraction of services with common fun...

Abstract We present a pluggable radiation-tolerant 4-level Pulse-Amplitude-Modulation (PAM4) optical transmitter module called GBT20 (Giga-Bit Transmitter at 20 Gbps) for particle-physics experiments. has an OSFP or firefly connector to input 16 bit data each 1.28 Gbps. The drives VCSEL die with LC lens TOSA and interfaces fiber standard connector. minimum module, including the host connector, ...

BACKGROUND Anastomotic connectors could be the key to less invasive bypass surgery, including endoscopic procedures, but equivalence to conventional suturing needs to be established. A novel distal coronary connector was tested pre-clinically for safety and efficacy in comparison to conventional suturing. METHODS AND RESULTS Left internal thoracic to left anterior descending coronary artery b...

This numerical study was conducted to simulate and analyze the pushout test for new shear connector in a steel-concrete composite system. In this system, stirrups of reinforced concrete beam are used as connectors when passed through holes drilled web inverted steel T-section. The analysis performed by creating three-dimensional finite element model using program ANSYS 21 student version behavi...

Background—Anastomotic connectors could be the key to less invasive bypass surgery, including endoscopic procedures, but equivalence to conventional suturing needs to be established. A novel distal coronary connector was tested pre-clinically for safety and efficacy in comparison to conventional suturing. Methods and Results—Left internal thoracic to left anterior descending coronary artery byp...

To support rapid software evolution, it is desirable to construct software systems from reusable components. In this approach, the architecture of a system is described as a collection of components along with the interactions among these components. Whereas the main system functional blocks are components, the properties of the system also strongly depend on the character of the component inte...
