Title: Method and apparatus for phase related cardiac defibrillation
Inventor: PLESS BENJAMIN D
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PHASE                    RELATED CARDIAC DEFIBRILLATION                                ABSTRACT   An implantable cardioverter/defibrillator and method for its use are disclosed. A sensing electrode provides an ECG signal to the defibrillator, this signal is amplified and evaluated for the presence of a tachyarrhythmia. The phase of the ECG signal is sensed during a detected fibrillation or tachycardia and this determines the phase of the stimulating output signals. The ECG may be continuously sensed during the application of the defibrillating output and each output is held constant until a threshold crossing of the ECG is detected, whereupon the defibrillating output is changed. The system may also be configured to generate outputs in response to the ECG signal exceeding one or more thresholds. The defibrillating output is generated as a constant current output. The ECG amplifier compensates for a resultant offset voltage with an autozero loop. The specific lead configuration and the patient's condition are considered in programming the amplitude and polarity of the defibrillation output. In an alternative embodiment, the phase of the ECG signal is detected and an output of predetermined duration is delivered. In this configuration, it is not necessary to sense the ECG during the output. The system may also be used in a preconditioning mode wherein the phase related output is followed by a conventional high voltage monophasic or biphasic defibrillation waveform. The ECG is monitored for return to normal rhythm and the output stimulation is discontinued when normal rhythm is restored.

Abstract: ABSTRACT   A spring-loaded bracket includes a first part securable to a support, a second part mounted on the first part for angular movement relative thereto in opposite directions from a neutral position and a spring assembly biasing the second part to the neutral position. The spring assembly has a helical torsion spring carried by the first part and having first and second end portions at opposite ends.A first stop is carried by the first part to limit movement of the first spring end portion in a spring unwinding direction, and a second stop is carried by the first part to limit movement of the second spring end portion in a spring unwinding direction. Said second part has a firstabutment engaging the first spring end portion so as to deflect the first spring end portion in a spring winding direction when the second part in moved angularly relative to the first part in one direction from the neutral position, and the second part has a second abutment engaging the second spring end portion so as to deflect the second spring end portion in a spring winding direction when the second part is moved angularly relative to the first part in the opposite direction from the neutral position.

Title: A plasma gun head
Inventor: MUELLER MARKUS
IPC: H05H1/28
Filed: 1994-09-15
Abstract: A burner head for plasma spray guns has essentially one cathode body (1), one anode body (3) and one insulating body (2) located in between which electrically insulates the two bodies (1, 3) from one another. A cathode arrangement (4) is inserted into the cathode body (1), and an anode nozzle (5) is inserted into the anode body (3), both the cathode arrangement (4) and the anode nozzle (5) being transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis (15) of the burner head. Cooling channels (6) pass through the cathode body (1) and the anode body (3) in order to cool the burner head, these cooling channels (6) forming an annular channel (61) in the region of the anode nozzle (5), so that the cooling medium flows around the anode nozzle (5). In order to be able to dispense with seals in the region of the cooling channel (6), which passes around the anode nozzle (5) in the form of the annular channel (61), the anode nozzle (5) is permanently integrated in the anode body (3). The seals (7) which are necessary for sealing of the cooling channel (6) are arranged at a distance from the anode nozzle (5) and from the cathode arrangement (4) respectively in the region in which the cooling channel (6) changes over from one body to the other body (1, 2, 3), as a result of which they are thermally not subject to very high stresses. A burner head designed in such a way allows improved coating performance to be achieved over a longer period of time than in the past. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for producing diene rubbers polymerised by means of nd catalysts and exhibiting reduced cold flow and low intrinsic odour
Inventor: WIEDER WOLFGANG
IPC: C08C19/20

Title: Calibrator for use in test methods for detecting a defective coagulation factor v
Inventor: KRAUS MICHAEL
IPC: G01N33/86
Filed: 1995-11-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a plasma which can be used as a calibrator in coagulation tests which detect the degradation of factor V by activated protein C (APC), to the preparation of such a plasma and to its use. The problem with calibrators in current coagulation tests is the requirement for a reference concentration calibrator for APC-resistant factor V in activated protein C time tests. The calibrator of the present invention solves this problem as it provides a plasma composition with beneficial qualities such as shortened clotting time in an activated protein C time test. The calibrator of the present invention contains human plasma diluted with non-human animal plasma, or factor V-containing fractions of non-human plasma. The non-human animal factor V in the calibrator of the present invention cannot be cleaved by human activated protein C, and retains markedly high factor V activity, thus reducing the APCT.
