Patent EP-1558336-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAEFNER PAUL A
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 2003-10-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé destinés à sélectionner de façon appropriée des électrodes de choc haute énergie basées sur des mesures d'impédance. Dans un exemple, un circuit de mesure d'impédance mesure l'impédance entre différents ensembles d'électrodes au cours de l'implantation. L'impédance d'électrode mesurée est comparée à une amplitude d'impédance prédéfinie afin de détecter la présence d'une électrode de choc haute énergie. Si une électrode de choc haute énergie est présente, un indicateur d'état d'électrode de charge est réglé. En se basant sur l'état de l'indicateur d'état d'électrode de charge, un processeur empêche ou autorise l'utilisation de combinaisons de diverses électrodes en vue d'administrer une thérapie haute énergie. Etant donné que l'augmentation en automaticité permet au système de changer la thérapie programmée en fonction du statut des conducteurs, la sécurité du patient est augmentée.

Abstract: Les procédés d'oxydation qui empêchent la consommation de grandes quantités indésirables de matière de surface dans des plaquettes basées sur une hétérostructure Si/SiGe, remplacent diverses étapes d'oxydation thermique CMOS intermédiaires. Tout d'abord, la mise en oeuvre de procédés de dépôt d'oxyde permet de former des oxydes arbitrairement épais avec peu ou pas de consommation du silicium de surface. Ces oxydes, du type oxyde pour sérigraphie et oxyde pour plage d'accueil, sont formés par dépôt sur la couche de surface plutôt que par réaction avec cette couche de surface avec consommation de cette dernière. Le dépôt d'oxyde peut également être précédé par une étape d'oxydation thermique de courte durée, par exemple, une oxydation thermique rapide. Dans ce cas, l'oxydation thermique rapide consomme peu de silicium de surface, et l'interface Si/oxyde est de grande qualité. L'oxyde peut ensuite être épaissi au moyen d'un dépôt lui conférant une épaisseur finale désirée. En outre, l'oxyde thermique en couche mince peut agir en tant que couche barrière pour empêcher la contamination associée au dépôt d'oxyde subséquent.

Abstract: The bottom opening station (1) contains a bottom opening cylinder (2) with gripper tool (5), which takes the paper bag part and twists it in the same direction as the cylinder's turning axis. The necessary force to grasp the paper bag part and to turn it around the cylinder originates from one ready source of energy. A second energy source is on hand to power the gripper tool which works in opposition to the first energy source and opens the gripper. The first energy source can come from a spring, magnet or other device while the second comes from the curved packaging - once the length of the packaging has been passed the force holding it against the cylinder ceases and the gripper opens.

Abstract: Speckle, a factor reducing image quality in optical coherence tomography ('OCT'), can limit the ability to identify cellular structures that are important for the diagnosis of a variety of diseases. The present invention allows for an implementation of an angular compounding, angular compounding by path length encoding ('ACPE') for reducing speckle in OCT images. By averaging images obtained at different incident angles, with each image encoded by path length, ACPE maintains high-speed image acquisition and implements minimal modifications to OCT probe optics. ACPE images obtained from tissue phantoms and human skin in vivo demonstrate a qualitative improvement over traditional OCT and an increased signal-to-noise ratio ('SNR'). Accordingly, apparatus probe catheter, and method are provided for irradiating a sample. In particular, an interferometer (5) may forward forwarding an electromagnetic radiation (10). In addition, a sample arm may receive the electromagnetic radiation, and can include an arrangement (20) which facilitates a production of at least two radiations (30, 40) from the electromagnetic radiation so as to irradiate the sample. Such arrangement can be configured to delay a first radiation of the at least two radiations with respect to a second radiation of the at least two radiations.
