Inventor: NEVO EREZ
IPC: A61B5/02
Filed: 1994-11-04
Abstract: A method of assessing the cardiovascular performance of a subject, by: applying periodically, in synchronism with every n th  heart cardiac cycle wherein "n" is at least two, external pressure pulsations on a peripheral organ of the subject sufficient to alter ventricular loading; acquiring data representative of the ventricular pressure, and data representative of the ventricular volume, of the subject's heart over a plurality of heart cardiac cycles; and utilizing such data for assessing the cardiovascular performance of the subject. Ventricular loading may be altered by impeding ventricular ejection (changing afterload), and/or by altering venous return to the heart (changing preload).

IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 1993-11-30
Abstract: CVD Si3N4 can be made by placing a substrate (2) inside a CVD reactor (4) having an interior and interior walls (6). The interior walls (6) of the reactor (4) include a high temperature metal selected from the group consisting of Mo, Nb, Rh, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Ir, and alloys that comprise more than 50 atomic percent of Mo, Nb, Rh, Hf, Ta, W, Re, or Ir. An inert gas is flowed through the reactor (4) and the pressure inside the reactor (4) is reduced to less than about 40 KPa. The substrate (2) and interior of the reactor (4) are heated to a temperature between about 1200  DEG C and about 1700  DEG C. A reactant gas mixture of a silicon halide and an excess of a nitrogen-containing compound is flowed into the reactor (4) such that the silicon halide reacts with the nitrogen-containing compound to form Si3N4. The high temperature metal on the interior walls (6) of the reactor (4) inhibits the formation of Si3N4 on the interior walls (6) of the reactor (4) so the majority of the Si3N4 forms on the substrate (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic unit having a plurality of groups of permanent magnets such as ceramic or ferrous magnets arranged in a side-by-side relationship, each plurality being separated from an adjacent plurality by a magnetically permeable member, such as a malleable steel member or a malleable iron or molded iron member to focus the lines of magnetic flux. Preferably, each of the permanent magnets within a group is also separated by an interleaved sheet of magnetically permeable material. Such a plurality of groups of permanent magnets are secured together and to a supporting member through fastening members, and are separated from the support by a non-magnetic member, such as a non-ferrous plate. A second plurality of groups of permanent magnets are positioned adjacent to a first plurality of such groups of permanent magnets with opposite poles of the magnets facing each other so that the first and the second pluralities of such groups of magnetics attract one another to cause levitation of a vehicle such as a train. A plurality of such groups of magnetic units are so arranged relative to a support member of a train and an adjacent track member. A hydraulic unit, which may be microprocessor controlled, is used to adjust the air gap between respective pairs of such units. A third main feature of the invention relates to the use of such units to provide a main component of a linear motor for propelling the train along the track.
