Title: System and method for monitoring, displaying and recording balloon catheter inflation data
Inventor: FOOTE JERROLD L
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1993-09-02
Abstract: An electronically controlled syringe system for connection to a balloon catheter or other balloon-type member and for automatically monitoring, displaying and recording inflation data when the syringe system is used to inflate the balloon catheter or other balloon-type member. A syringe having a barrel and a syringe plunger is selectively operable to increase fluid pressure applied to the balloon catheter or other balloon member by sliding the plunger further into the barrel. Positive pressure applied to the balloon catheter or member can be released by withdrawing the syringe plunger toward the rear of the barrel. A piezoresistive semiconductor transducer housed on the barrel of the syringe senses positive fluid pressure applied by the syringe. The electric signal output by the transducer is input to a controller where the signal is digitally processed so as to derive and record therefrom electronic data representing the magnitude of applied fluid pressure, and so as also to derive the length of time that positive fluid pressure is applied and the electronic data representing this information is automatically displayed and recorded. The controller is also programmable to permit optional selection and input of various control parameters, such as a maximum positive inflation pressure that is to be applied, maximum duration for applying positive inflation pressure, initialization of the date and time of an inflation procedure and/or retrieving and displaying inflation data previously recorded for any prior inflation of the balloon catheter or other balloon member.

Title: Vibratory motor and method of making and using same
Inventor: MAGNUSSEN BJOERN
IPC: H02N2/00
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: A single piezoelectric (22) is excited at a first frequency to cause two vibration modes in a resonator (24) producing a first elliptical motion (100a) in a first direction at a selected contacting portion of the resonator that is placed in frictional engagement with a driven element (42) to move the driven element in a first direction. A second frequency excites the same piezoelectric to cause two vibration modes of the resonator producing a second preferably elliptical motion (100b) in a second direction at the selected contacting portion to move the driven element in a second direction. The piezoelectric is preloaded in compression by the resonator. Walls of the resonator are stressed past their yield point to maintain the preload. Specially shaped ends on the piezoelectric help preloading. The piezoelectric can send or receive vibratory signals through the driven element to or from sensors to determine the position of the driven element relative to the piezoelectric element or resonator. Conversely, the piezoelectric element can receive vibration or electrical signals passed through the driven element to determine the position of the driven element. The resonator is resiliently urged against the driven element, or vice versa. Plural resonators can drive common driven elements.

Title: Symbology scanning system for efficiently locating coded symbologies
Inventor: HECHT KURT
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1998-03-05
Abstract: A scanner for optically scanning coded symbologies including a signal processing unit for pre-processing the scanned symbology information and a hardware symbology locating unit. An analog signal related to the reflectivity of the different portions of the coded symbology is obtained and is converted to digital gray-scale. The portion of the analog signal which corresponds to the substrate reflectance (absolute contrast) is removed, and the available dynamic range of the analog to digital converter is used only for the information-bearing portion of the signal (relative contrast). Since all of the decodable information is ultimately encoded in binary form, the information-bearing portion of the signal is retained. The hardware symbology locating unit includes a plurality of shift registers, each of which derives a value from an input seed which is based upon the width of a detected coded symbology element. The value of a subsequent input seed is compared to the values generated from a prior input seed. Based upon this comparison, the unit determines whether the size of a subsequent symbology element is a ratio match of a prior symbology element. The presence of a potential coded symbology candidate is likely when a plurality of ratio matches are detected.

Patent AU-6539290-A (AU)
Title: Modified biological material
Inventor: WHITE DAVID JAMES GRAHAM
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1990-10-12
Abstract: Conventionally, animal tissue from one species can only be transplanted into another species when the species are concordant; otherwise, hyperimmune rejection ensues. In this invention, donor tissue is modified, for example by being transgenic, to express or otherwise be in association with one or more substances, referred to as homologous complement restriction factors (HCRFs), which are active in the recipient species to prevent the complete activation of complement and therefore rejection. The invention is in part based on the discovery that the alternative pathway of complement activation, rather than the classical pathway, is responsible for hyperacute discordant xenograft rejection.
