A fiber optic connector assembly includes a connector and a carrier. The mattress cover includes an upper portion designed to cover the topside of a mattress, and at least one shear transfer zone attached to an underside of the upper portion of the mattress cover. The first stream flows to surround the object to be thawed introduced into the reservoir. The relief cuts allow the use of wider and thinner material in the stent, giving greater radio-opacity and vessel coverage while simultaneously reducing the stent profile and increasing laminar blood flow through the stented vessel. A compound of the invention, when administered by any of a number of administration routes, exhibits one or more advantages over corresponding compounds lacking the oligomer.
