Patent EP-1296727-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEVIN HOWARD R
IPC: A61M1/14
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil d'ultrafiltration du sang. Le procédé consiste à retirer du sang d'un vaisseau sanguin périphérique à un taux inférieur à 2 % du débit cardiaque total du patient, à extraire du fluide à un débit de 0,1 à 1 litre par heure tout en conservant cellules et protéines dans le sang, et à renvoyer le sang concentré à un deuxième vaisseau sanguin. Le sang est extrait et renvoyé au moyen de petites aiguilles à jauge. Tandis qu'une pompe fait circuler du sang du patient, un filtre retire l'ultrafiltrat du sang en utilisant le cycle actif ou la commande de pompe, et un récipient transparent récolte le fluide retiré.

Abstract: A new optical switch device and method of operating such a device overcomes alignment problems through the use of an optical signal-confining channel that may be embedded so as to confine optical signals in a desired propagation path such that the optical signal's alignment with the output is secured. Small-angle mirrors may be used so as to direct the optical signal into the intended optical signal-confining channels so as to achieve the desired optical switching. The mirrors could be latching micro-mirrors or non-latching micro-mirrors. Such mirrors could be controlled by electrostatic actuation, thermal actuation or electromagnetic actuation, or any other technique.

Abstract: An optical component for effecting frequency selective reflection in the gigahertz and terahertz frequency ranges and for effecting wave permeability includes at least one first layer ( 1, 3, 5 ) made of a first material (m 1 ). The first material is optically permeable to electromagnetic radiation of a reference frequency (f) between 5 gigahertz (GHz) and 10 terahertz (THz) and has a first refractive index (n 1 ) and an optical thickness of approximately one-fourth the wavelength (lambda) of the electromagnetic radiation of the reference frequency (f) in the first material (m 1 ). There is at least one second layer ( 2 ) situated underneath the first layer ( 1 ) that is made of a second material (m 2 ) which is optically permeable to electromagnetic radiation of a reference frequency (f) and which has a second refractive index (n 2 ) and an optical thickness of approximately one-fourth or one-half the wavelength (lambda) of the electromagnetic radiation of the reference frequency (f) in the second material ( 2 ), thus the first refractive index (n 1 ) and the second refractive index (n 2 ) are different.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible ARQ scheme. A communications channels is set up between a transmitter and a receiver. A value is selected for an ARQ parameter for data packets to be transmitted over the communications channel. The ARQ parameter value may be selected in accordance with a trade-off between a desired performance or goal, e.g., a specific throughput of data packets transmitted over the communications channel, and one or more communication resources required to support the desired performance or goal. An example of an ARQ parameter is a number of outstanding data packets to be acknowledged by the receiver before more packets can be sent to the receiver. Another parameter example is a delay associated with the ARQ scheme. In a preferred, non-limiting example embodiment, first and second ARQ parameter values are selected for a desired trade-off. Accordingly, a specific number of outstanding data packets to be acknowledged by the receiver and an acknowledgement or retransmission delay can be selected to achieve a desired performance, e.g., a desired throughput of data packets, at a particular resource cost. Because of the flexibility provided by the present invention, a communications device may set its own objectives for a particular connection based upon one or more performance requirements, communication resources, or other requirements.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un appareil d'hémodyalise amélioré comprenant un module ultrasonique avec transducteur ultrasonique couplé à un dialyseur à membrane ou à fibres creuses. Un générateur d'ondes ultrasoniques peut fonctionner selon différents modes et produire des ondes sinusoïdales à bande étroite, des ondes sinusoïdales à fréquence variable ou de balayage, des ondes carrées à bande large ou en dents de scie. Un réglage inférieur de puissance permet d'accroître le taux de diffusion au travers des membranes semi-perméables du dialyseur, un réglage de puissance supérieure étant utilisé par intermittence pour désintégrer un thrombus qui peut se former dans le dialyseur. Une chambre en aval du dialyseur comporte un détecteur untrasonique ou optique de thrombus et d'emboles à la sortie du dialyseur, avec un transducteur ultrasonique ciblé qui fragmente tout embole dans la chambre. Un tamis ou un filtre disposé à la sortie de la chambre empêche les thrombus et les emboles d'une taille supérieure à une valeur donnée de pénétrer dans l'appareil circulatoire du patient.

Abstract: A collimator obtained by the alternate stacking of metal
sheets 1 (40 µm thick) having holes 4 with a width of 2200 µm
in the center thereof, and metal sheets 2 (10 µm thick) devoid
of holes (the metal sheets 1 with the holes 4 are shown in the
state in which they exist before being cut in the manner
described below, the metal sheets 1 in the upper portion of
the figure and the metal sheets in the bottom portion are not
connected with each other in the finished product). The
opposite sides are held by metal pressing sheets 3 that are
2 mm thick. These metal sheets and pressing sheets are bonded
by means of diffusion bonding based on thermocompression
bonding. The portions with the vertical through-holes 4 (40 µm
× 2000 µm) thus become light-transmitting portions, the metal
sheets 2 serve as partitions between adjacent holes 4, and
light collimated to a width of 40 µm can ultimately pass
through. A compact collimator having high wavelength
resolution without wavelength dependence can thus be achieved.

Abstract: A time-error-compensating apparatus and method corrects errors in a real-time
clock caused by temperature fluctuations or other external influences. The apparatus
includes a frequency counting unit which counts a high-frequency clock signal and a
low-frequency clock signal, and a time compensating unit which computes a clock count
compensation value based on a comparison of the count values of of the low-frequency
and high-frequency clock signals. Correcting time using a high-frequency clock is highly
desirable because a clock of this type has proven to be accurate in high external stress
conditions. Use of this clock also allows the real-time clock to be implemented as a low-frequency,
inexpensive low-frequency clock. The method and apparatus are well suited
to correcting time information in the terminals of a mobile communications system, or in
any other system or device where time tracking is sought.
