Patent NO-20005958-D0 (NO)
Inventor: MOWER MORTON M
IPC: A61N1/362
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: Augmentation of electrical conduction and contractility by biphasic stimulation of muscle tissue. A first stimulation phase has a first phase polarity, amplitude, and duration. The first stimulation phase, which acts as a conditioning mechanism, is administered at no more than a maximum subthreshold amplitude. A second stimulation phase has a second polarity, amplitude, and duration. The two phases are applied sequentially. Contrary to current thought, anodal stimulation is applied as the first stimulation phase, followed by cathodal stimulation as the second stimulation phase. In this fashion, pulse conduction through muscle is improved, together with an increase in contractility. Furthermore, this mode of biphasic stimulation reduces the electrical energy required to elicit contraction. In addition, the conditioning first stimulation phase decreases the stimulation threshold by reducing the amount of electrical current required for the second stimulation phase to elicit contraction. The muscle tissue encompassed by the present invention includes skeletal (striated) muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.

Abstract: Methods of extracting and removing hyperpolarized gas from a container include introducing an extraction fluid into the container to force the hyperpolarized gas out of an exit port. The hyperpolarized gas is forced out of the container separate and apart from the extraction fluid. Alternatively, if the fluid is a gas, a portion of the gas is mixed with the hyperpolarized gas to form a sterile mixed fluid product suitable for introduction to a patient. An additional method includes engaging a gas transfer source such as a syringe to a transport container and pulling a quantity of the hyperpolarized gas out of the container in a controlled manner. Another method includes introducing a quantity of liquid into a container and covering at least one predetermined internal surface or component with the liquid to mask the surfaces and keep the hyperpolarized gas away from the predetermined internal surface, thereby inhibiting any depolarizing affect from same. Examples of surfaces or components suitable for masking include valves, seals, and the like. Yet another extraction method includes expanding a resilient member inside the container to force the hyperpolarized gas to exit therefrom. Containers include a resilient member positioned in fluid communication with the hyperpolarized gas in the container. An additional container includes inlet and outlet ports in fluid communication with the chamber and positioned on opposing sides or end portions of the container. Another container includes a port configured to receive a portion of a syringe therein. An additional aspect of the disclosure relates to calibration methods and apparatus for identifying the hyperpolarization status of the gas.

A transmission grating is arranged on one glass surface. A reflecting layer is applied over the grating, and an opening is arranged in the layer at half the length of the plate, for taking the beam, which is to be divided, to and through the grating. The laser wavelength and the grating line density are selected to give total reflection at the free surface of the glass for a beam diffracted at the opening of the grating. By altering the angle of incidence of the beam, the distance between the subdivided beams can be continuously varied within given limits. The device is also utilizable for combining a plurality of separate beams into a single beam. (FIG. 3).

Granted: 1988-07-28
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for selectively transferring data from one to another of a plurality of display registers. Selector switches (52, 56, 60, 82, 86, 90, 120, 128) are associated with respective ones of the display registers (50, 54, 58, 80, 84, 88, 120, 128, 144), each selector switch being manually operable so as to be designated either as a source switch or as a destination switch, whereby the data in the display register associated with the source switch is transferred to the display register associated with the destination switch. A central processing unit (not shown in Figure 1) is responsive to the operation of a first of the selector switches followed by the operation of a second of the selector switches to transfer the data from the display register associated with the first selector switch to the display register associated with the second selector switch. Preferably, indicators are associated with respective ones of the selector switches; and the central processing unit controls the indicator associated with the first-operated selector switch to provide a distinctive indication representing that this selector switch has been designated as the source switch.A desired application of this invention is in video editing apparatus that is used with video playback and recording devices in which video information that is reproduced from one device is recorded on the other. In such an application, the data in the respective display registers is position data representing relative positions of the record media of the playback and recording devices. Such display registers constitute a present position register for displaying the present position of one of the record media, a "start" register for displaying the position at which the start of an edit operation is to commence, and a "stop" register for displaying the position at which the edit operation is to end.
