Patent EP-1035425-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IMAMURA KAZUO
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 1998-11-25
Abstract: A core  2  is co-doped with Ge in a general concentration
equivalent to that in a core of an optical fiber to be connected
as well as Sn and Al in predetermined concentrations. A glass
part  F  including the core and a cladding  3  is coated with a primary
coat layer  4  of a UV transmitting resin which transmits UV of
240 nm through 270 nm but cures by absorbing UV of a shorter
wavelength band than 240 nm or a longer wavelength band than 270
nm. A grating is written in the core by irradiating the core with
UV through the primary coat layer. The primary coat layer is
covered with a secondary coat layer  7  of a resin having a negative
coefficient of linear expansion so as to cancel and suppress
expansion/shrinkage of the glass part in accordance with
temperature change derived from the positive coefficient of linear
expansion. Thus, the invention provides a fiber grating and a
method of fabricating a fiber grating, in which a grating can
be easily written without causing degradation of the transmitting
characteristic, the transmitting characteristic and the
mechanical strength characteristic can be consistent with each
other without spoiling improvement of productivity, and the
temperature characteristic can be stabilized for attaining high
reliability.

Abstract: Systems (11) and methods are provided for selectively applying electrical energy to a target location on an external body surface such as skin tissue removal or collagen shrinkage in the epidermis or dermis, for example the removal of pigmentations, vascular lesions (e.g., leg veins), scars, tattoos, etc., and for other surgical procedures on the skin such as tissue rejuvenation cosmetic surgery, wrinkle removal, air removal, transplant procedures, blepharoplasties, lipo-suction of facelift procedures. The present invention (11) applies high frequency (RF) electrical energy to one or more electrode (58) terminals adjacent an external body surface such as the outer surface of the skin, to remove, and/or modify the structure of tissue structures within the skin. Depending on the specific cosmetic procedure, the present invention may be used to volumetrically cut, resect, ablate or remove skin tissue or hair (i.e., ablate or effect molecular dissociation of the tissue structure); separate a tissue layer from an underlying tissue layer so that the tissue layer can be removed; shrink or contact collagen connective tissue; and/or coagulate blood vessels underlying the surface of the skin.

Abstract: The optical biosensor, using an immunological reaction and a fluorescent marker which can be excited by a light ray, has a lightwave guide (1) of a material where the fluorescence can be excited spontaneously in the presence of a light beam. The material shows a spontaneous fluorescent curve with the fluorescent peak with a lightwave 1 second longer than the wavelength of the fluorescent peak of the marker in the sample. The waveguide material is of silicon nitride, titanium oxide or tantalum oxide, giving an intrinsic spontaneous fluorescence. The lightwave guide (1) is doped with a substance which gives a spontaneous fluorescence when excited. The guide can be coated with a layer of a material or a doped substance to give the spontaneous fluorescence. A diffraction network is linked to the lightwave guide to couple and uncouple the light beam, with an entry (3) and exit (4) diffraction network linked to the guide(s). The networks (3,4) are formed by ridges in the surface (2) by micro-machining, embossing or injection molding. The lightwave guide surface has at least one diffraction network in a rectangular shape, with the ridges at right angles to the longer sides for coupling and parallel to them for uncoupling. At least one row of uncoupling diffraction networks is aligned with a row of reaction zones (6), or they are in rows flanking the reaction zones in an alignment to strengthen the uncoupled light beams. The reaction zones are in a capillary channel for sample suction. The light guide material can be doped additionally for fluorescent excitation in a third wavelength, using rare earths such as erbium or europium. An Independent claim is included for a measurement system with a biosensor, using a light source (7) to illuminate at least one diffraction network. At least one photo sensor (9) registers the uncoupled fluorescent light at the lightwave guide at the first wavelength, and a second photo sensor (8) registers the uncoupled fluorescent light at the second wavelength. Preferred Features: The biosensor is in a removable mounting. At least one additional sensor detects fluorescent light in a third wavelength.

The granular material supply unit (2) delivers a granular material
through an inlet (6) formed in a pressure case (5) included in
the granular material feed unit (3) onto a conveying means (8)
disposed in the pressure case (5). The conveying means (8)

pressure case (5) to feed the granular material through the outlet
(7) into a granular material using apparatus. The granular
material supply unit (2), and the pressure case (5 )of the granular
material feed unit (3) can be immovably installed. Therefore the
granular material supply system (1) can be formed in a closed
system without placing any special joints, such as expansion
joints, in a line connecting the granular material supply unit
(2) and the pressure case (5) and in a line connecting the pressure
case (5) and the granular material using apparatus. Only the
conveying means (8) needs to be disposed in the pressure case
