Patent EP-1095628-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YANOF JEFFREY H
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: A method (310) and apparatus (1) are provided for planning an executing minimally
invasive procedures for in-vivo placement of objects within the body of a patient. The
method and apparatus enable non-invasive pre-operation virtual seed placement and dose
distribution planning using visualization information showing a patient's anatomy together
with a set of single point targets (182) within the patient's body and a corresponding set of
trajectories (184) through the skin and body of the patient leading to the selected target
points. For enhanced visualization, multi-planar reformatted images (166, 168) are derived
from CT image data sets and are angled to always contain the plane of the virtual needle
(300) in the pseudo-axial image and its 90 degree slice counterpart. In an implementation
stage, a stereotactic arm (40) spatially referenced to the patient's data set acts a needle guide
(52) and is used to locate preplanned image planes containing virtual seed deposition points.
A physical needle (50) is aligned with preplanned virtual needle trajectories (282, 284, 286)
so that one or more seeds or other objects can be precisely placed within the patient's body.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system for a lean burn
engine comprising a thermal mass unit (32) and a NO x 
conversion catalyst unit (34) downstream of the thermal mass
unit (32). The NO x  conversion catalyst unit includes at
least one catalyst section (36). Each catalyst section
includes a catalytic layer (38) for converting NO x  coupled to
a heat exchanger (40). The heat exchanger portion of the
catalyst section acts to maintain the catalytic layer (38)
substantially at a desired temperature and cools the exhaust
gas flowing from the catalytic layer into the next catalytic
section in the series. In a further aspect of the
invention, the exhaust gas purification system includes a
dual length exhaust pipe (20) upstream of the NO x  conversion
catalyst unit (34). The dual length exhaust pipe (20)
includes a second heat exchanger (24) which functions to
maintain the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing into the
thermal mass (32) downstream near a desired average
temperature.

Abstract: An integrated semiconductor circuit contains a voltage
multiplier circuit (10) which from a supply voltage applied to
the integrated circuit generates an operating voltage higher
than this, for the circuit components (16) contained in the
semiconductor circuit. An activating circuit (22) generates an
activating signal when the supply voltage is applied, which
puts the circuit components into a defined active state. A
comparator (24) matches a comparison voltage, which is in a
defined relationship to the output voltage of the voltage
multiplier circuit (10), to a reference voltage. This outputs a
switching signal as soon as the comparison voltage reaches the
reference voltage. A switching element (22) passes on the
activating signal to the circuit components (16) only when it

Abstract: A shield 56 for a gas management pintle valve 10, such as an
exhaust gas recirculation valve for an internal combustion engine, for
mitigating leakage of gas and moisture along the valve pintle 22 into the
actuator 30, to prevent corrosion and failure of the actuator. The shield 56
is a tubular member 58,60 having an equatorial radial flange 62 and is
slidably mounted on the pintle 22 in an annular chamber 54 between the
valve body and the actuator. The inner diameter of the tube is selected to
be as close-fitting to the pintle as possible while still being slidable
thereupon to be adapted to either of two operating positions. During
engine shutdowns, the shield is drawn by gravity toward the valve body 12
to form a first seal with the flange 62 against the pintle bearing 26 or a
bearing splash shield 38, preventing or minimizing the escape of moist, hot
gases under low pressure from the valve along the pintle. During engine
running, high-pressure exhaust gases within the valve may be forced along
the pintle through the bearing bore 24 and bearing splash shield 38 toward
the actuator 30. The gases force the shield 56 to slide along the pintle 22,
opening the first seal and forming a second seal with the flange 62 against
the actuator 30, allowing the leaked gases to escape radially from the pintle
without invading the actuator.

Abstract: In a photoelectric conversion device, to suppress
alteration of its properties during a long time use,
lower decrease of S/N ratio due to a dark current
output, and shorten image-pickup cycles. An MIS type
photoelectric conversion elements using an amorphous
semiconductor material are connected with an electric
power source for applying bias (Vs) for photoelectric
conversion, an electric power (VREF) for resetting an
accumulated electric charge, and a setting point for
applying zero bias (VGND) at the time of non-operation
of the element through SW1. Emitted x-rays from an x-ray
source, which is a first light source, come into
collision against a phosphor after being transmitted
through an object body to be inspected which is not
illustrated in drawings and then are absorbed in the
phosphor to be converted to visible light rays. The
visible light rays from the phosphor are radiated to
the photoelectric conversion elements. Prior to
reading out of the x-ray image, an LED light source is
lighted. SW2 and SW3 are switches for turning on the
x-ray source and the LED light source, respectively.
In this embodiment, there are a reading-out period and
a non-reading-out period, and the x-ray source is
turned on during the reading-out period and the LED
light source is turned on during the non-reading-out
period.
