Patent EP-1267958-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MEDVEDEV ALEXANDER
IPC: A61M1/12
Filed: 2001-03-19
Abstract: In a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) a rotodynamic blood pump (10) is powered by a brushless DC motor (12). A power supply (14) supplies power to the motor (12). Three feedback channels, one for each of voltage, current, and motor speed lead to a microcontroller or microprocessor (18). The three feedback waveforms are analyzed, and from these waveforms, motor input power, patient heart rate, current pump flow rate, and systemic pressure are determined. The microprocessor (18) then calculates a desired flow rate proportional to the patient heart rate. The microprocessor communicates a new power output to a commutation circuit (16), which regulates power to the motor (12). The pump (10) also includes safety checks that are prioritized over desired pump flow. These include prevention of ventricular suction, low pulsatility, minimum and maximum pump speed, minimum speed-relative pump flow, minimum absolute pump flow, minimum and maximum motor input power.

Abstract: A hydraulic cylinder (10) is disclosed, the housing of which is formed from a cylindrical housing piece (13) and a bottom and top end-piece (11, 12). Said cylinder contains a piston arrangement (16) mounted in the cylinder in a sealed manner, which extends out of the cylinder through the top end-piece (12). The cylinder is provided with a displacement monitor comprising an element fixed to the cylinder and an element fixed to the piston (30, 31) and which produces an electrical signal which is a measure of the position of the piston arrangement relative to the housing. On application of said cylinder in a rugged environment there is a risk of damage to components of the displacement monitor, in particular to electronic circuits. According to the invention, damage as above may be avoided, whereby an analytical circuitry (40), connected to an element of the displacement monitor, is housed in a cup-shaped recess (39) in the bottom end-piece of the housing (11). Said cylinders are particularly suitable for use in rugged conditions, such as, for example, in vehicle construction.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés d'analyse séquentielle de signaux et de classification sonique de zones de fond de trou, utilisant des « algorithmes d'analyse séquentielle » et une analyse bayesienne pour classer des signaux STC (Slowness-Time Coherence). Plus particulièrement, selon l'étape d'analyse de l'invention, un modèle de probabilité est créé pour permettre de distinguer des « données » réelles (de compression, de cisaillement, etc., par exemple) de « fausses alarmes » (de bruit, par exemple) avant la classification des données. Le modèle de probabilité établit une correspondance entre la « continuité » des analyses (lenteur/temps sur profondeur) et est utilisé pour déterminer si les séquences de mesures sont suffisamment « continues » pour être classées sous forme de séquences. Le modèle de probabilité est utilisé pour évaluer la probabilité des données dans différentes classifications possibles (hypothèses). Des probabilités à priori et à posteriori sont créées pour chaque séquence à l'aide de l'algorithme d'analyse séquentielle. Les probabilités à posteriori sont calculées de façon séquentielle et récursive, avec mise à jour des probabilités après que chaque cadre de mesure à une profondeur ∫i⊃k∫/i⊃ a été acquis. L'étape de classification de l'invention permet de déterminer les hypothèses avec la « probabilité à posteriori » maximale selon de théorème de Bayes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant de positionner une tête d'essai pour l'accoupler avec un dispositif de sonde, un pilote ou un autre périphérique. Ce système comprend plusieurs activateurs linéaires pouvant être déplacés vers l'arrière. Chaque activateur comporte une première extrémité couplée mécaniquement à la tête d'essai et une deuxième extrémité couplée mécaniquement à un manipulateur. Selon un premier mode, un système de commande applique des entrées aux activateurs pour étendre de manière variable les activateurs afin d'établir une position requise de la tête d'essai par rapport au support. Selon un deuxième mode, le système de commande arrête de faire varier l'entrée destinée à l'activateur, et les activateurs peuvent être entraînés en fonction de forces externes, tant vers l'avant que vers l'arrière, en ne fournissant qu'une légère résistance au déplacement dans les deux sens. Le système de positionnement d'une tête d'essai selon l'invention permet d'accoupler la tête, de manière adaptative, avec des têtes d'essai particulièrement lourdes.

affected by an interruption even when the interruption has occurred
in the course of a read/write operation between information storage
media. When an interruption occurs in the course of reading
program information stored on an optical disc (2) to write the
program information onto a hard disk (4), the write status of the
program information which has encountered the interruption and
the information for identifying the program information are stored
on the hard disk (4). After the recovery from the interruption,
read and write operations are restarted. Then, the program
information capable of ensuring the continuity with the program
information which has been properly written on the hard disk (4)
prior to the interruption is determined in accordance with the
write status of the program information which has encountered the
interruption and the information for identifying the program
information. A read operation is performed from the program
information thus determined and then a write operation to write

Abstract: A method for optimizing a prescription for laser-ablation corneal treatment includes
the steps of receiving a measured correction prescription for a current patient having a
classification element associated therewith, the prescription having been measured using
wavefront determination. A database of treatment outcomes on a plurality of previously
treated patients is accessed, each treated patient outcome having associated therewith at
least one classification element and comprising a preoperative wavefront-determined
correction prescription and a postoperative visual profile. From the treatment outcomes
in the database is calculated an average difference between the preoperative prescription
and the postoperative profile for at least some of the previously treated patients having a
classification element in common with the current patient. Finally the current patient
correction prescription is adjusted commensurate with the calculated average difference
to form an optimized prescription.

signal to cause fuel to be injected into the cylinders (11a-11f),

control signal. A method of controlling the valve (15)
includes sensing a time (Tcl) associated with movement of the
valve (15) corresponding to start of a fuel injection event,
and modifying the valve control signal as a function of the
sensed time (Tcl). The method further includes determining a
rise time (Tr)of the valve control signal, determining a valve
operation delay time (Tcd) as a function of the rise time
(Tr), determining a difference time (Tdif) representing a
difference between a desired valve operation time (Thd) and
the sensed time (Tcl), comparing the valve operation delay
time (Tcd) to the difference time (Tdif), and adjusting timing
of the valve control signal as a function of the comparison.
The method, also, as a function of the comparison, varies
individual valve control signal parameter values, each
associated with a particular cylinder (11a-11f) of the engine
(10), generates a sum value (SUM) representing a sum of the
individual parameter values for all the cylinders (11a-11f),
generates an average parameter (AVE) by dividing the sum value
(SUM) by the number of cylinders (n), generates updated
individual parameter values by subtracting the average value
(AVE) from previous individual parameter values, and modifies
the valve control signal as a function of the updated
individual parameter values.
