Abstract: A) Systems and methods for bilateral treatment of a patient having a head with a first ear and a second ear function by aligning a first device with a target tissue of the first ear; aligning a second device with a target tissue of the second ear; and therapeutically remodeling, with synchronization, the target tissues of the first and second ear with the first and second aligned devices, respectively. B) Systems and methods for treating a patient having a head with a first ear and a second ear function by mounting a support system to the head of the patient so that the support system is aligned with a target tissue of the first ear; applying a therapeutic agent to the first ear by energizing an iontophoresis electrode supported by the support system; and actuating a device while the device is supported by the support system so that the device therapeutically remodels the target tissue of the first ear. C) Systems and methods for treating a patient having an ear canal and a target tissue function by positioning a fluid or gel in the ear canal, the fluid or gel comprising a therapeutic agent; retaining the fluid or gel with a support structure, the support structure supporting an electrode and a battery; and applying the agent from the fluid or gel to the target tissue by energizing the electrode with an iontophoresis potential from the battery. D) Systems and methods for treating a patient having a head with a first ear and a second ear, function by mounting a support structure to the head of the patient; aligning the support structure with a target tissue in an ear canal of the first ear; stabilizing the support structure relative to the target tissue by injecting a material into the canal and hardening the material; and actuating a device while the device is supported by the support system so that the device therapeutically remodels the target tissue of the first ear. E) Systems and methods for treating a patient having a head with a first ear and a second ear, function by aligning a first device with a tympanic membrane of the first ear; inputting a command to an input device operatively coupled to the first device to generate a signal; and actuating the first device in response to the signal so as to drive a penetrator of the device through the tympanic membrane.

Abstract: A mat having a highly uniform porosity distribution is produced by consolidating 15 or more layers of melt blown webs (or the like) having different orientations. Control over the porosity is provided by using webs that exhibit a narrow, unimodal distribution of fiber diameters over the bulk of its distribution, such as in the top 80%. A compliance of the mats can be chosen by selecting a number and orientation of the webs. It is thus possible to produce mats that are good candidates for vascular grafts, for example. The uniformity of the porosity within the range of 6 µm to 30 µm permits seeding of the vascular graft with endothelial and smooth muscle cells. The mats have the demonstrated ability to retain, and support growth of, smooth muscle cells. The mats have the demonstrated ability to retain, and support growth of, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method and system for efficiently transferring medical images. Some embodiments receive a medical image in a first platform dependent format of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The first platform dependent format is one that is accessible by a first format compliant device that includes a library that specifies how to decode the first format. Some embodiments transform the medical image from the first format to a second format. The second format includes decoded content of the first format that is viewable on a first format non-compliant device. The transformed image is then passed to the device for viewing. Additionally, some embodiments efficiently transfer medical images by identifying image settings for one or more devices and by passing requested images that are optimized by resizing the images according to the image settings of the requesting device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for obtaining syn-thesis gas by the gasification of liquid or finely comminuted, solid fuels at a pressure of 0.3 to 8 Mpa at a temperature in the range of 1200 to 2000°C with oxygen-con-taining, gaseous gasification agents in a cooled reactor (3), wherein liquid slag is deposited on the walls thereof. The reactor is located in a first pressure container. The obtained synthesis gas is generated in a first reaction chamber (2), arranged at the top of the reactor. In the upper region thereof, the substances to be used are fed. Liquid slag is deposited on the side walls thereof and can run off freely with-out the surface of the slag solidifying. At the bottom side thereof, an opening (6) with a dripping edge (7) is located, from where the obtained synthesis gas can be withdrawn toward the bottom and the liquid slag running down can drain. A sec-ond chamber (8) connects to the opening at the bottom, the synthesis gas being kept dry and being cooled in said second chamber (8). A water film that is produced by suitable devices and that falls freely delimits the second chamber. A third chamber (15) connects to the second chamber at the bottom and in it cooling takes place by adding water to the synthesis gas. A water bath (21) connects to the bottom of the third chamber, the drained and already solidified or still liquid slag particles drop-ping into said water bath. At the bottom or on the side of the third chamber (15), but above the water bath (21), the generated and cooled synthesis gas is withdrawn from the pressure container (4).
