Abstract: A Plasma torch (10) for microwave induced plasma spectrochemical analysis of a sample includes a nozzle (30) in an inlet (18) for the main plasma gas flow between outer tube (12) and intermediate tube (14) of the torch (10). The nozzle (30) increases the gas flow velocity in the sheathing gas layer for the plasma which is provided by the gas flow from the annular gap (22) between the tubes (12 and 14). The increased velocity of the gas in the sheathing gas layer "stiffens" that layer and thus better confines the microwave induced plasma (such better confinement not being necessary for an ICP torch). Thus the torch is of improved durability for a microwave induced plasma compared to an ICP torch. The sample injection (inner) tube (16) may have a reduced diameter outlet at its end (34) which is substantially level with the end (35) of intermediate tube (14) to improve injection of a sample into the microwave induced plasma. The inlet end (26) of the sample injection tube (16) may include a heater (36) to assist in preventing blockages in tube (16) near its outlet end.

Title: Myopia correction enhancing biodynamic ablation
Inventor: YOUSSEFI GERHARD
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for providing a LASIK or a LASEK myopia vision correction, and to a medium that has stored therein an instruction for directing a laser vision correcting laser platform to deliver a controlled biodynamic ablation according to the invention. A known biodynamic response of the eye is induced by performing a controlled laser ablation in a cornea of the eye outside of an optical zone for the nominal ablation in a laser vision correction surgery. An ablation ring, or portion thereof, outside of the optical zone produces a biodynamic flattening of the central region of the cornea which in turn provides for a decreased depth of volumetric ablation to correct a myopic refractive defect of the eye. Such controlled biodynamic flattening may provide the opportunity for laser vision correction in patients whose corneas would otherwise be too thin post-operatively to warrant laser vision correction.

IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2003-08-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an implant for implanting in bone tissue, for example, a dental implant or an implant for an orthopedic application. This implant has surface areas (4) of first type that have, for example, osseointegrative, anti-inflammatory, infection-fighting and/or growth- promoting properties, and have surface areas (8) of a second type that are comprised of a material that can be liquefied by mechanical vibrations. The implant is positioned inside an opening, e.g. of a jaw-bone, is subjected to the action of mechanical vibrations, e.g. ultrasound, and is pressed against the jaw-bone. During this process, the liquefiable material is liquefied and pressed into uneven areas and pores of the surrounding bone tissue where, up on resolidification, it forms a positive connection between the implant and the bone tissue. An appropriate arrangement and dimensioning of the surface area s of the first and second types results in, during implantation, the liquefied material flowing, at most, in a clinically irrelevant amount over the surfac e areas (4) of the first type so that the biologically integrative properties of these surface areas can become effective immediately after implantation. Due to said positive connection, the implant acquires a very good primary stability whereby enabling it to be placed under stress immediately after implantation. This prevents the occurrence of a negative effect as a result of not placing the implant under stress and reduces relative movements between the implant and bone tissue to a physiological extent that is conducive to a desired osseointegration after implantation.

Abstract: A process for refurbishing a worn surface (14,16) of a shroud support component (10) of a turbomachine, as well as a shroud support component (10) refurbished with the process. The process generally entails removing a surface region of the worn surface (14,16) so as to define a repair surface (18,20) on the component (10). A  braze tape (22,24) formed from a slurry to comprise a braze material and a wear-resistant alloy is then applied to the repair surface (18,20), followed by a heat treatment to cause the braze tape (22,24) to diffusion bond to the repair surface (18,20) so as to define a built-up surface (26,28). The built-up surface (26,28) is then machined to define a wear-resistant coating (30,32) on the component (10).
