Title: Defibrillation patch electrode having conductor-free resilient zone for minimally invasive deployment
Inventor: KENKNIGHT BRUCE H
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 1993-09-20
Granted: 1994-09-15
Abstract: A cardioversion/defibrillation electrode comprising an insulative element which supports one or more planar conductive elements. The conductive elements are spaced apart from each other by a "conductor-free" region, which serves as a spring loaded hinge about which the electrode may preferentially bend. The electrode is thereby spring loaded to adopt a substantially planar orientation in a relaxed state but is capable of bending to a non planar orientation wherein the electrode is folded about the hinge to facilitate intrathoracic introduction. After introduction, the spring loaded hinge causes the electrode to adopt its relaxed substantially planar orientation for attachment on or near the heart surface. Due to the preferential bending in the "conductor-free" region, the electrode conductive elements are not permanently or substantially deform during implantation. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: A method of, and a device for, undercar cooling of kiln cars in a tunnel kiln
Inventor: LINGL HANS
IPC: F27B9/30
Filed: 1987-01-28
Granted: 1988-12-08
Abstract: Intensive undercar cooling is achieved in the latter portion of a tunnel kiln by (a) a continuous undercar longitudinal cooling air flow or (b) by transverse undercar sub-chambers in which heat exchangers are used to set up local cooling connection currents within each sub-chamber. Air flows in the undercar channel are substantially prevented in the heat-up zone and up to about the middle of the firing zone. Pressure equalization is permitted with respect to the firing chamber thereabove but very little air will actually pass therebetween in the sensitive heat-up zone because there is no other substantial air passageway leading into or out of the sub-chambers formed by aprons depending from the kiln cars.
