Patent EP-0636345-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BAIR SCOTT
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 1994-07-18
Abstract: A pulsed fluid jet surgical instrument includes a cannula 22 extending from a handpiece 21, the cannula emitting a pulsed fluid jet for cutting and emulsification purposes, and also providing suction for aspiration and evacuation of the fluid and tissue. A pressure intensifier piston arrangement 36 receives fluid at relatively low pressure, and operates reciprocally and reiteratively to pump the fluid through the jet needle 54 in a series of high pressure pulses, each having a nearly rectangular pressure waveform. The pressure intensifier piston is T-shaped, including a broad end 37 which divides a drive bore into a driving chamber and a retracting chamber. A bistable valve 40 is connected to admit high pressure gas into the actuating chamber, driving the piston to translate. The narrow end of the piston is disposed in a fluid pumping chamber connected to a supply of fluid. The translating piston drives the fluid from the pumping chamber through a first check valve into a fluid jet needle, which directs the high pressure fluid pulse to a tissue target. The bistable valve switches to admit pressurized gas to the retracting chamber, driving the piston retrograde and allowing the pumping chamber to refill with fluid through a second check valve. There is no high pressure fluid supplied to the handpiece, and only the pressure intensifying pumping action of the piston creates a high pressure fluid pulse. The gas supply to drive the piston is at a relatively low pressure, so that gas pressure cannot comprise a safety risk to the patient. Thus failure of the piston mechanism cannot result in the emission of a stream of high pressure fluid, and the instrument is inherently safer than prior art instruments that are connected to a high pressure fluid source.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring and then controlling the refracted angle of ultrasonic waves propagating through a component. The method directly measures the actual refracted angle of ultrasound in an industrial component while performing nondestructive examination by measuring the slopes of characteristic echo-dynamic lines. These slopes are related to the angle of refraction by a simple mathematical relationship. A pattern recognition filtering method is used to identify the echo-dynamic pattern. The slope of an echo-dynamic line is computed after an edge detection algorithm is applied to the data.

Abstract: A split mechanical seal (10), for mounting to a stationary housing (14) that contains a rotating shaft (12), including first (20) and second (30) seal ring assemblies, at least one resilient biasing element and at least one axial biasing element. The first and second seal ring assemblies each include a seal ring having two segments (22,32) that are resiliently supported in the seal. The segments (22,32) have an outer surface and a pair of segment sealing faces (21,31) disposed at opposite ends of the segments (22,32). The resilient biasing (200) element is concentrically disposed about and in intimate contact with the outer surface of one of the seal rings, for applying a first radially inward force that biases the sealing faces (21,31) of the seal ring segments (22,32) into sealing contact with each other. The mechanical seal (10) includes a pair of resilient biasing elements disposed about each seal ring, and the resilient biasing element (132) is preferably an elastomeric member. The axial biasing element (200) is associated with at least one seal ring (33) for generating and applying, in cooperation with the elastomeric member (132), a second radially inward force;the second force operating to bias the segment sealing faces (21,31) together when the mechanical seal (10) is exposed to a selected pressure condition. The axial biasing element (200) is an abutment, integrally formed with the segments (22,32) of both seal rings, that has a radially outwardly slanted outer surface. When the mechanical seal (10) is exposed to a selected pressure condition, the elastomeric member (132) is disposed in intimate contact with the abutment (192), and applies an axial force thereto. The abutment (192) transforms the axial force into an axial force component and a second radially inward force component. This second radially inward component also operates to bias the sealing faces (21,31) of the seal ring segments (22,32) into sealing contact with each other. The seal further includes integrally formed screw housings (80,82) that have formed therethrough a fastener-receiving aperture (84). The aperture (84) has a tapped smaller-diameter portion and an untapped larger diameter portion. The aperture (84) mounts a screw (90) that has a screw-head (96) and a shaft (92). The shaft (92) has a tapped larger-diameter distal end and a smaller-diameter proximal end. The screw (90) when mounted within the aperture, is positively maintained therein. The seal (10) further includes a centering mechanism. In one embodiment, the centering mechanism is a centering strap (240), seated within a transverse bore formed through the screw housings (80,82), that has a handle (248) and a pair of elongate flexible segments (250,252). In another embodiment, the centering mechanism is composed of a number of spacers (240) attached to an outer wall of the holder assembly.

En utilisant un applicateur linéaire allongé (4) comme source d'énergie à micro-ondes, il est possible d'obtenir simultanément un taux élevé de déposition uniforme de matière du film mince sur une pluralité de grandes zones du matériau du substrat en bande sans devoir chauffer ladite bande à une température supérieure à son point de fusion. Dans un mode préférentiel de réalisation, la bande de matière de substrat est constituée d'une résine plastique synthétique de transmission des micro-ondes de basse température, et le film mince déposé sur la bande de substrat forme un revêtement-barrière qui empêche la diffusion d'oxygène.

Abstract: An active compression/decompression CPR device capable of providing both complete cardiopulmonary support and cardiopulmonary assistance includes two or more thoracic compressors, preferably inflatable bladders, positioned so that the chest can first be flattened and compressed, increasing the pressure in the chest, and then circularized and decompressed, decreasing the pressure in the chest. When inflatable bladders are used, they can be surrounded with a rigidifying vest which resists outward bladder expansion. Compression and decompression can be performed along with abdominal compression, and the device is capable of shifting between support and assist modes when the patient's condition so requires. Also described is a method of compressing and then decompressing a patient's thorax by applying anterior and/or posterior pressure to the thorax, so as to compress the thorax and increase pressure therein, relieving that pressure, and then applying lateral pressure to the thorax to decompress and relieve pressure in the thorax, and then relieving the lateral pressure.
