Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un circuit conçu pour faire fonctionner une lampe à décharge à haute pression (La) et muni de ce qui suit: - un premier dispositif capacitif C1; - un collecteur (S1-S4, D1'-D4') destiné à générer un courant alternatif à basse fréquence à travers la lampe à décharge à haute pression sur la base d'une courant continu qui passe par le premier dispositif capacitif. Ledit collecteur comprend: - des bornes d'entrée connectées au premier dispositif capacitif; - une dérivation de charge (L1, K1, K2) qui comprend des bornes de connexion pour la lampe à décharge à haute pression et un dispositif inductif L1. Selon l'invention, le premier dispositif capacitif C1 est shunté par une dérivation K qui comprend un montage série d'un deuxième dispositif capacitif C2 et un élément unidirectionnel D1 destiné à bloquer un courant avec lequel le deuxième dispositif capacitif C2 charge le premier dispositif capacitif C1. Ce système permet de faire en sorte que la tension de rallumage, qui provoque le rallumage de la lampe après le passage par zéro du courant alternatif à basse fréquence, possède une amplitude relativement élevée; ainsi la lampe peut-elle se rallumer de manière fiable.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for treating cardiovascular diseases with an embolization coil placement system utilizing an embolization coil and a pusher device. The embolization coil includes a releasable attachment mechanism with a deformable ring-shaped member for connecting the embolization coil to a hydraulic pressure actuated coil release mechanism on the pusher device. The coil release mechanism includes a coil mounting wire with a bulbous distal portion that extends distally from a proximal tubular portion of the pusher device. A small inflatable balloon is mounted on the pusher device surrounding the coil mounting wire and fluidly connected to the proximal tubular portion. The embolization coil delivery system is prepared for use by crimping the deformable ring-shaped member around the deflated balloon member and the mounting wire. The bulbous distal portion of the mounting wire retains the crimped ring-shaped member on the pusher device. A target site in the vascular system is catheterized with a microcatheter. Then, the pusher device with the embolization coil mounted on it is inserted into the microcatheter and advanced to the target site. Once the embolization coil is in position, the inflatable balloon is pressurized with a syringe or inflation device connected to a hub on the proximal tubular portion of the pusher device. As the inflatable balloon member expands, it deforms the ring-shaped member to release the embolization coil from the pusher device. The balloon member is then deflated and the pusher device is withdrawn. In this way, one or more embolization coils may be inserted to occlude the target site by creating a physical barrier to blood flow and encouraging thrombus formation. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An inflatable thermal blanket is disclosed for convectively and evaporatively cooling a patient. The inflatable thermal blanket comprises an upper sheet and a base sheet that are attached at a plurality of locations to form an inflatable covering. The base sheet includes a plurality of apertures that direct an inflating medium from the inflatable covering toward the patient. The base sheet also supports a fluid delivery apparatus that distributes and delivers a cooling fluid to the patient. The fluid is evaporated from the patient's skin by the inflating medium exhausted from the inflatable covering. The fluid delivery apparatus may be constructed in a variety of configurations and may be circulate a variety of fluids, which may be pressurized or unpressurized. In operation, an air blower, that may also include a compressor for selectively delivering room temperature or cooled air to the inflatable thermal blanket, is connected to the inflatable covering. The blower delivers air, under pressure, to an inlet opening in the inflatable covering. The pressurized air is distributed throughout the inflatable covering and flows to the patient through the apertures in the base sheet. The inflatable thermal blanket is configured to cover one or more portions of a patient's body. In one construction, the inflatable thermal blanket covers all of the patient's body except for the head. In an alternative construction, a specially designed inflatable thermal blanket is constructed to cover only the patient's head.

Abstract: An embolic protection device has a collapsible filter element (105) mounted on a carrier such as a guidewire (101). The filter element (105) collapses into the outer end of a catheter (118) for deployment and retrieval through a vascular system of a patient. The filter element (105) has a collapsible filter body with a proximal inlet end and a distal outlet end. The proximal inlet end has inlet openings sized to allow blood and embolic material enter the filter body. The outlet end has outlet openings which allow through passage of blood but retain embolic material within the filter body. After use, the catheter (118) is movable along the guidewire (101) to engage the proximal end of the filter element and close the inlet openings before sliding over the filter element from the proximal end to the distal end to progressively collapse the filter body on the guidewire (101) for retrieval. The filter element (105) may conveniently be mounted on a tubular sleeve (104) which is slidable and rotatable on the guidewire (101) between spaced-apart stops (106, 120) on the guidewire (101) which allows some manipulation of the guidewire independently of the filter when the filter is in use.

Abstract: To set a consistent characteristic lateral profile in a paper web, the weight cross section profile is measured and adjusted by setting the sectional pulp density at the stock inlet. The lateral formation profile is then set by amending the specific pulp throughput at the delivery jet of the stock inlet. Simultaneously or subsequently, the dimensions of the delivery jet are increased or decreased at points where there is a raised pulp throughput. The change in the delivery jet is proportional to the change in the specific pulp throughput and, after setting, the flow is at the required lateral speed profile. At least one of the setting steps is effected by a control circuit. Additional chemicals are added pref. at the edge zone, to delay and/or increase the water extraction rate from the pulp. The variations in the specific pulp suspension flows are through sectional extraction or addition of a fluid in the Z-direction, together with filling materials where there are zones with a higher throughput. The technique is especially for a paper making machine with a double fourdrinier.

Silane-type gas as a main component of raw material gas which is supplied into a reaction chamber and dilution gas containing hydrogen are used, the flow rate of the dilution gas is four or less times that of the silane-type gas, the partial pressure of the silane-type gas in the plasma CVD reaction chamber ranges from 1.2 Torr to 5.0 Torr, and the distance between a surface of a substrate mounted on an anode electrode and a surface of a cathode electrode ranges from 8 mm to 15 mm. Accordingly, a method of manufacturing an amorphous silicon-based thin film photoelectric conversion device having a superior performance is obtained with an improved efficiency in the use of raw material gas as well as an enhanced deposition rate to achieve improvements in cost and efficiency in production. Even if the dilution gas is not used, the advantages above can be achieved under the same conditions as those described above except for the condition concerning dilution gas. <IMAGE>
