Abstract: In a dual chamber pacemaker capable of stimulating the atrium and ventricle in a heart, a stimulation pulse (14) in the atrium could be sensed as a ventricular event which cannot be distinguished from a premature ventricular contraction (PVC), so the pacemaker institutes a blanking interval (BI) in which no sensing occurs and a crosstalk interval (XT) in which sensing occurs, detections in the crosstalk interval (XT) causing the emission of a ventricular stimulation pulse with a shortened A-V interval (AV2). In order to optimize the blanking interval (BI) so as to reduce the risk of a PVC being missed at the same time as the number of detected events, caused by crosstalk from the atrium, in crosstalk intervals (XT) is minimized, the pacemaker counts, for a number of cardiac cycles, the number of detections in crosstalk intervals (XT) and relates same to the number of cardiac cycles so as to determine the length of the blanking interval (BI).

Abstract: A snubber which may be used with a diaphragm actuator or other movable member to prevent sudden movement of the movable member is provided. A typical diaphragm actuator has a diaphragm housing (50) with a movable diaphragm (56) therein dividing the diaphragm housing into two separate chambers (80,82). An actuator stem (66) is connected to the diaphragm to move with the diaphragm. The snubber (90) has a housing (92) with an open interior space communicating through a communication path with a first one (82) of the actuator chambers. A first piston (110) is reciprocably movable within the snubber housing, the first piston being operably connected to the actuator stem to move therewith. The first piston divides the snubber housing space into two chambers, one on each side of the first piston. A passage (102,100,108) is provided which leads from one of the snubber chambers to the other. A floating piston (116) positioned in the communication path between the first piston and the first actuator chamber. Thus, as the first piston reciprocates within the snubber space, the floating piston moves in an opposite direction to accommodate the changing volume within the snubber space occasioned by the movement of the first piston into and out of the snubber space.

Abstract: A part of the body is positioned for therapeutic treatment in that a treatment point exactly defined in relation to marks placed thereon is kept in a desired position. For this purpose, at least two video signal-generating sensors (34, 36) are oriented for observation of the marks (22, 24, 26, 28, 30). There are image-processing means (74, 76) for processing of the images (54A to 62A; 54B to 62B) of the marks in order to fix marking points (80) determined by the marks and defining the actual position of the part of the body. Furthermore, there are signal processing and regulating means (86, 88, 90; 92, 94) for calculation of the actual position from the observed position of the marking points, for comparing the actual position with a desired position and for generating adjustment signals depending on the difference between actual position and desired position. Adjustment means (102, 104, 106) are acted upon by the adjustment signals and designed to work on the part of the body. As a result, the treatment point can be brought back into the desired position on deviation from the desired position.

The rotary structure (12) includes a first rotating member (22) to which the anode target (11) is connected and a second rotating member (23) provided with the bearings (20a, 20b). These first and second rotating members (22, 23) are kept coaxial to each other and connected together at their those portions which are remoter from the anode target (11) when viewed in the rotating axis direction of the target (11) and along a heat transmitting line extending from the target (11) to the bearings (20a, 20b), but heat insulating clearances (26) and (29) are formed between the rotating members (22, 23) at their other portions not connected. The first rotating member (22) is made of one of those materials which have a heat conductivity smaller than 0.1(cal/cm·sec·°C) at temperature range of 0 to 500°C. The second rotating member (23) is made of alloy whose main components are iron and nickel, alloy whose main components are iron, nickel and cobalt, alloy whose main components are iron and chromium, alloy whose main components are iron, chromium and nickel, or iron alloy including iron, chromium and one of carbon, molybdenum and tungsten. Even when component members by which slide bearings (20a, 20b) of the dynamic pressure type are formed are made of such material is iron alloy low in cost and good in processability, therefore, they cannot be corroded by Ga alloy lubricant and keep their rotating characteristics more stable for a longer time.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging method multiple refocusing RF-pulses (22-26) are applied and spin-echo signals (62-66) obtained following an excitation RF-pulse (21). Imperfections in the applied RF-pulses (21-26) and the switched gradient magnetic fields (31-36, 42-46, 51-56) cause deviations from the desired phases of the nuclear dipole moments which appear as artefacts or ghosts in a resulting image. By a suitable arrangement of the application of the phase encoding values (242-248; 342-348) imposed during the measurements and/or the addition of supplemental measurements, the effects of the phase deviations in an image are significantly reduced, resulting in images in which less artefacts and ghosts are visible. Reduction of artefacts is also obtained by weighting of measured NMR-signals.

Abstract: Anti-icing compositions, such as used on aircraft wing surfaces, may be thickened using a blend of a polyacrylic acid and a copolymer of polyacrylic acid with a vinyl monomer, where the copolymer acts as a thickener modifier. Additional advantages are obtained when a low molecular weight nonionic alkylphenol ethoxylate surfactant is used in conjunction with an alkylaryl sulfonate hydrotrope, as additives. This latter combination of additives gives anti-icing compositions with increased holdover times with no degradation of other properties. The compositions also contain an alkylene glycol component, such as propylene glycol, diethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. These compositions retain a high viscosity, even when diluted with water, and exhibit a highly pseudoplastic rheology indicating desirable flow off characteristics.
