Title: Methods and apparatus for securing medical instruments to desired locations in a patient's body
Inventor: BURBANK FRED H
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1999-08-24
Granted: 2010-01-05
Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for securely affixing a medical instrument to desired tissue in a patient's body, using a fixation agent. Such medical instruments may comprise localization wires or tissue acquisition instruments, such as biopsy instruments, for example. In the case of tissue acquisition instruments, the inventors have discovered significant advantages for securely affixing the distal end of the tissue acquisition instrument to a particular tissue target area. For example, such an approach permits the imaging environment to be uncoupled from the procedural environment so that expensive and often unavaible imaging equipment, such as stereotactic imaging equipment, need not be used. In a preferred embodiment, a bonding agent, suc h as adhesive, surgical glue, or a solvent, is used as the fixation agent.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'auto-traitement qui comporte plusieurs modules portatifs dont l'un est le module principal. Ce module principal commande, coordonne et surveille tous les transferts de données et d'informations entre lui-même et les autres modules, et inversement. Les modules peuvent être par exemple d'un appareil de mesure de la glycémie, un doseur, un inhalateur, un distributeur de comprimés et d'un récipient de stockage. Les modules sont capables de générer et de stocker des données, transmises ensuite au module principal si ce dernier est à portée et s'il est actif. Si le module principal est hors de portée, les données sont stockées localement dans le module secondaire jusqu'à ce que le module principal soit disponible ou qu'un nouveau module principal ait été désigné. Le module principal, ou un autre module spécifié, peut transférer les données à une unité externe, telle qu'un ordinateur ou une base de données, en vue d'un traitement ultérieur. Un médecin ou une équipe de soins peut consulter les données de la base de données et conseiller le patient sur la base de ces données traitées. Le traitement des données peut égalemente faire automatiquement au moyen d'un système expert.

Title: Removal of oil and chloride from oil contaminated material
Inventor: ROBERTS BRIAN G
IPC: B09C1/02
Filed: 1999-12-13
Granted: 2008-09-09
Abstract: A method for chemically removing hydrocarbons from oil contaminated material is described. The method comprises contacting the material containing the oil with a combination of surfactants in an oil carrier similar to or identical to the oil to be removed. This process avoids the use of water. Therefore the process does not compromise the quality of the oil by having water as a contaminant and thus eliminating the possibility of oil contaminated water getting into the environment. In certain examples, when the process is used to remove oil from land based well bore cuttings, the processed well bore cuttings contain high levels of chlorides, which is an environmental problem. In such examples the method also includes contacting the well bore cuttings with a solution of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate in water to reduce the chloride concentration. An apparatus designed for this purpose is also described.

Title: Multi-cavity resonator interferometer
Inventor: TAI KUOCHOU
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2002-05-24
Granted: 2009-10-13
Abstract: Interleavers, based on a Michelson interferometer with a Gires-Tournois (GT) etalon in each arm, are becoming popular in the filtering of light in the fiber optics telecommunications industry. As the channel spacing becomes closer together, e.g. 50GHz or 25GHz, dispersion compensation becomes an important factor in the choice and design of a system. The present invention solves the problem of increased chromatic dispersion by utilizing multi-cavity Gires-Tournois (MCGT) etalons, wherein the dispersion from one MCGT is used to compensate or cancel the dispersion from the other MCGT. In an optimum design for a dual cavity GT etalon, the dispersion profile of the first MCGT will have a similar amplitude and frequency as the dispersion profile of the second MCGT, only shifted by half the period so that the positive slopes of one profile are aligned with the negative slopes of the other profile.

Title: Integrated optical system for endoscopes and the like
Inventor: HOOGLAND JAN
IPC: A61B1/00
Filed: 2001-02-23
Granted: 2011-08-16
Abstract: Optical systems (1-19) for endoscopes and the like are characterized by an integrated design in which the locations of the components and the aberration corrections are no longer tied to the optical functions of the objective (1-6) and the relays (7-19), and in which the relays may depart from symmetry. The power requirements can thus be shifted from one group to another, thereby reducing the overall power requirement. Moreover, the aberration correction can be shared between the optical groups of the integrated system.

Title: An improved method for extracting cocoa procyanidins
Inventor: HAMMERSTONE JOHN F JR
IPC: A23G1/56
Filed: 2001-06-11
Granted: 2010-05-11
Abstract: A cocoa extract which is rich in procyanidin oligomers is made by extracting defatted cocoa beans with solvents or aqueous solvents which solubilize the procyanidins. The yield of procyanidins in an extract varies with the cocoa beans used, the solvent used, the pH of the solvent used and the extraction temperature. Extraction parameters can be optimized to increase procyanidin yield and to allow for the preferential extraction of higher or lower molecular weight oligomers. A preferred extraction method is a counter-current solvent extraction process in which the cocoa extract is recycled.
