Abstract: A diaphragm (22') for use with a fluid carrying conduit (70) or an inner body 12 including a diaphragm portion (22) for use with an outer body (14) where the diaphragm (22') or the diaphragm portion (22) has a concave outer surface (26), a convex inner surface (28), a slit (32) extending from surface (26) to surface (28), and a notch defined by two walls (40, 42) at outer surface (26). The walls (40, 42) preferably diverge towards the outlet end (20) so that upon deflection of diaphragm (22') or diaphragm portion (22), a greater minimum gap (46) for fluid movement is created when compared to the minimum gap (48) of a diaphragm not having the notch. The notch may have a cross section shape of a "V", a "U", or a three section rectilinear form, and may be formed at either surface depending upon the direction of diaphragm deflection.

Title: Methods, systems, and associated implantable devices for dynamic monitoring of tumors
Inventor: SCARANTINO CHARLES W
IPC: G16H40/63
Filed: 1999-09-29
Granted: 2010-12-21
Abstract: Methods of monitoring and evaluating the status of a tumor undergoing treatment includes monitoring in vivo at least one physiological parameter associated with a tumor in a subject undergoing treatment, transmitting data from an in situ located sensor to a receiver external of the subject, analyzing the transmitted data, repeating the monitoring and transmitting steps at sequential points in time and evaluating a treatment strategy.  The method provides dynamic tracking of the monitored parameters over time.  The method can also include identifying in a substantially real time manner when conditions are favorable for treatment and when conditions are unfavorable for treatment and can verify or quantify how much of a known drug dose or radiation dose was actually received at the tumor. The method can include remote transmission from a non-clinical site to allow oversight of the tumor's condition even during non-active treatment periods (in between active treatments). The disclosure also includes monitoring systems with in situ in vivo biocompatible sensors and telemetry based operations and related computer program products.
