Patent EP-1033147-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WILLIAMS MICHAEL S
IPC: A61M36/04
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: A temporarily implantable brachyherapy assembly is
adapted to locally deliver acute doses of radiation to
tissue at or adjacent to a body lumen wall. The assembly
includes a radiation source which is stored in a housing
in radioactive isolation. A first delivery member is
adapted to removably engage the radiation source and
remove it from storage for delivery to an injured or
stenosed region of a vessel. The first delivery member
is adapted to be delivered to the site through a lumen
extending through a second delivery member. The second
delivery member is also a shielding device with a
shielded region of substantially radiopaque material, and
also with an unshielded region made of substantially
radioluscent material and which is distal to the shielded
region. A third delivery member or centering device has
a lumen through which the second delivery member may be
delivered to the treatment site. A centering member on
the centering device includes an expandable member that
expands to circumferentially engage the lumen wall at the
treatment site. Indicia on the various delivery members
allow the unshielded region of the second delivery member
and radiation source on the first delivery member to be
positioned within the centering member of the third
delivery device so that the radiation source may be
centered within the treatment site and thereby irradiate
the wall tissue evenly about the circumference of the
lumenal wall at that site. When not in use or between
uses, the radiation source is housed within a storage 
assembly that includes a radiation shield two opposite
windows which are adjustable between open and closed
positions. With the window adjusted to an open position,
the storage chamber within which the source is to be
stored communicates externally of the housing so that the
source may be selectively removed or inserted into the
storage chamber. With the window adjusted to a closed
position, the source is stored within the storage chamber
in substantial radioactive isolation. A second window
isalso adjustable between open and closed positions and
has a coupler adapted to engage a proximal coupler of the
second delivery device.

Abstract: A larger number of micromirrors arranged on an illumination
optical path of a lamp in a light source device for supplying
an illumination light to an endoscope and by using a silicon
chip as a base are arranged the micromirrors in a two-dimensional

guide. When the micromirrors are set at the other angle, the
micromirrors are driven such that the reflected light is not
supplied to the light guide. An intensity of illumination
light supplied to the light guide or the like is adjusted at
a high speed by using a brightness level by selected the
micromirrors at the two angles respectively, so that an endoscope
image which can be easily observed is obtained.

Abstract: There is provided a combined control-type electronic
component which has a base made of resin to be installed on a
circuit board. Installed on the base are a push switch unit,
a rotary encoder unit which generates signals when a roller is
turned, and externally connecting terminals which transmit
signals, outputted from the push switch unit and the rotary
encoder unit, to the outside. The roller is supported by a
stepped shaft with a rotation axis disposed generally parallel
to the surface of the circuit board. The stepped shaft is
cantilevered to a base of a guide member, which in turn is
supported by the base so that the roller can move in an orthogonal
direction relative to the rotation axis of the stepped shaft.
When the roller is pushed, the guide member is displaced, which
causes the push switch unit to function.

Abstract: A varistor MOV is connected across a power supply LN to protect equipment
connected at AB against voltage spikes. Leakage current through the
varistor is monitored by a thermal sensor 20 and microchip 12, which also
receives input from an ambient temperature sensor 22 remote from the
varistor. When the difference between the sensed temperatures exceeds
a predetermined operating level, before dangerous overheating of the
varistor occurs, the microchip signals a warning condition by illumination of
LED 14 and/or operation of a tone generator 16. The user is thus given a
warning that the device is ageing and will shortly need replacing, whilst the
protected equipment remains fully operational.

elongation is terminated when the cyclic changes in a coupling ratio of two polarized waves
according to an elongation length at a wavelength in use are both within first two cycles, so
that the coupling ratio of one of the polarized waves is equal to or less than 10% and the
coupling ratio of the other one of the polarized waves is equal to or greater than 90%. This
method can provide a polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler whose coupling ratio
has a large dependency on polarization with a short elongation length.

Abstract: An on-board diagnostic system and method for directly
monitoring the efficiency of a catalyst having negligible
oxygen storage capacity is provided. The monitoring system
includes an oxygen sensor mounted at a first end of the
conditioning catalyst, and an exhaust gas catalyst bypass.
The oxygen sensor includes a first side and a second side.
The first side detects oxygen levels in the exhaust gas at
or near the first end of the catalyst and the second side
detects oxygen levels at or near the second end of the
catalyst. The oxygen sensor simultaneously compares exhaust
gas from the first end of the catalyst to the exhaust gases
from the second end of the catalyst. The oxygen sensor
produces a voltage signal which is proportional to the
difference in oxygen levels between the upstream gases and
the downstream gases. The method of the present invention
includes providing an oxygen sensor and an exhaust gas
catalyst bypass; transferring exhaust gas via the exhaust
gas catalyst bypass to a second side of the oxygen sensor;
simultaneously detecting oxygen levels in the exhaust gas at
the first side and the second side of the oxygen sensor; and
producing a voltage which is directly proportional to the
amount of oxygen converted over the catalyst.
