Abstract: A tissue ablation probe comprises an electrically conductive probe shaft, at least one electrode, and an electrically insulative sheath disposed on the probe shaft. The insulative sheath has thickened regions forming alternating ribs and depressions that longitudinally extend along the probe shaft. The ribs allow the ablation probe to be delivered through a tightly toleranced delivery device. While the ribs may shear off during the delivery process, the underlying probe shaft will remain covered by the remaining portion of the insulative sheath. The tissue ablation probe may be used in a tissue ablation assembly that additionally comprises a delivery cannula having a lumen in which the tissue ablation probe may be removably disposed. In this case, the sheath has an outer periphery having a size substantially the same as the diameter of the lumen, so that the inner surface of the delivery cannula cooperates with the depressions to create lumens that longitudinally extend within the cannula.

Abstract: Dynamic animated avatars selectively morph to reveal or depict the user's identity while simultaneously emulating or tracking active movements associated with the user's verbal stream or perceived movements of the user. A user elects morphing to transition the rendered avatar to another, more revealing avatar, for example from a cartoon caricature to a posed photographic image. Animation processing identifies active movements derived from an input stream to compute animations of the mouth and profile based on speech, text, or captured video from the user. The computed animations appear as active movements to the currently rendered avatar, and emulate the user speaking or moving according to text, audio or video being transmitted.

Title: Conception de puce microfluide comprenant des capillaires
Inventor: DE SONNEVILLE JAN
IPC: G01N21/01
Filed: 2007-12-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle conception de puce microfluidique permettant un raccordement de capillaires à une puce microfluidique. Dans une puce d'après l'invention, les canaux de fluide sont obturés avec une substance déformable pénétrable. Un raccordement fluidique étanche est obtenu en insérant un capillaire à travers la substance déformable pénétrable dans le canal. Il est décrit plusieurs moyens ayant des caractéristiques d'anticolmatage d'un capillaire. La taille du raccordement fluidique est du même ordre que le diamètre des capillaires utilisés et permet par conséquent l'utilisation de puces microfluidiques plus petites et plus fines comprenant de nombreux raccordements. La technique de raccordement peut être utilisée en combinaison avec la plupart des dispositifs de type laboratoire sur puce. La technique de raccordement est également appropriée pour une automatisation destinée à des systèmes à haut débit. Il est décrit de nombreuses techniques combinées et leurs améliorations ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives. Puisque la puce microfluidique ne nécessite plus de support de puce ni de raccordement sur le haut ou sur le bas en cours d'analyse, les contraintes physiques sur les microscopes disparaissent. Sans ces contraintes physiques, il est possible d'utiliser de nombreux systèmes d'analyse microscopique différents pour visualiser la même puce.

Abstract: A satellite includes a programmable facility including circuitry responsive to programmable control information. One or more filter parameters, or other forms of instructions for allocating channel capacity (i.e. bits/second/Hz), are received at the satellite in orbit to direct the programmable facility to separate particular sub-signals from an input signal. In one embodiment, the programmable facility can be programmed to change the allocation of channel capacity dedicated to the forward and return links based on the ratio forward and return traffic through a satellite. Changing the allocation of channel capacity may be achieved by changing the portions of the total allocated frequency bandwidth that are used for forward and return links. Alternatively, the changes may be made to the forward and/or return data rates, either alone or in combination with frequency bandwidth allocations.
