Patent EP-2093482-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HOLDER RONALD G
IPC: F21K99/00
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: A reflector for a light source, such as an LED, is provided with a shape which efficiently collects and directs energy to an illumined surface whereby almost 100% of the light is collected and distributed into a designer composite beam. The shape in one embodiment is comprised of three zones beginning with a parabolic surface of revolution at the base of the reflector, followed by a transition or straight conic zone and ending with an elliptical zone. In another embodiment the reflector shape is determined according to a transfer function which allows for arbitrary designer control of the reflected rays at each point on the reflector, which when combined with direct radiation from the source, results in a designer controlled composite beam or illumination. The device is more than 90% energy efficient and allows replacement of higher power, less energy efficient light sources with no loss in illumination intensity.

Abstract: A disposable incision safety lancet is provided, including a casing (2) and a trigger. It is characterized in that the casing (2) is provided inside with an incision blood-taking mechanism composed of a cam (3), a main swing arm (4), a secondary swing arm (5), a blade (1) and a spring (8). The present invention combines the two arc-shaped tracks obtained from the two swing mechanisms, the main swing arm and the secondary swing arm, via the cam and a toggle pin provided on the cam effectively and interlockingly, thus making the point of the blade incise along a V-formed path composed of two arcs of different shape connected with each other. Compared with the prior art single-swing-arm structure of the incision blood-taking mechanism, such a double-swing-arm structure can move with higher accuracy and controllability. An incision of different blood-taking depth and blood-taking width can be designed by means of changing the difference of change of the radius of curvature of the flange of cam (3) as well as changing the swing radius of the main swing arm (4) and the secondary swing arm (5), which is especially suitable for taking blood from infants' heel.

Abstract: A measurement point is set at frame data consisting of an envelope signal obtained by orthogonal detection of an RF signal output from an ultrasonic probe before and after compression of an examinee. The measurement point is moved in the ultrasonic beam direction (first dimensional direction), second dimensional direction or third dimensional direction with respect to the frame data so as to obtain a position where the envelope signal correlation coefficient before and after compression belonging to a correlation window surrounding the measurement point becomes maximum. According to this, the displacement of the measurement point accompanying the compression is obtained and the phase difference between the RF signals before and after the compression is obtained, so as to accurately obtain a displacement of the measurement point accompanying the compression by displacement measurement means. Thus, it is possible to estimate the displacement distribution without being restricted by the displacement amount, reduce the calculation time, and cope with a horizontal direction displacement.
