Title: Laser welded brachytherapy source and method of making the same
Inventor: CUTRER L MICHAEL
IPC: A61M36/12
Filed: 1999-03-24
Abstract: A brachytherapy source for use in radiation treatment of the body includes radioactive material, and a housing. The housing is used to contain the radioactive materials, and is formed by at least one tube having two ends. The two ends of the at least one tube are sealed by welding such that a radiation distribution of the brachytherapy source approximates a point source that is free of cold zones to minimize underexposure or overexposure of the body to radiation and to simplify the placement of the brachytherapy source in the body. Preferably, the ends of the at least one tube are sealed by laser welding, and a laser performs the laser welding while the brachytherapy source is rotated relative to the laser, which is activated in short pulses. For example, the laser is activated in a first series of pulses to initially collapse one end of the at least one tube and to at least partially close off the one end, then the laser is activated for a second series of pulses to seal off the one end of the at least one tube and remove excess material, next the laser is activated in a third series of pulses to initially collapse the other end of the at least one tube and to at least partially close off the other end, and finally, the laser is activated for a fourth series of pulses to seal off the other end of the at least one tube and remove excess material.

Title: Laser-induced differential normalized fluorescence method for cancer diagnosis
Inventor: VO-DINH TUAN
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1995-09-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method for cancer diagnosis are disclosed. The diagnostic method includes the steps of irradiating a tissue sample with monochromatic excitation light, producing a laser-induced fluorescence spectrum from emission radiation generated by interaction of the excitation light with the tissue sample, and dividing the intensity at each wavelength of the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum by the integrated area under the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum to produce a normalized spectrum. A mathematical difference between the normalized spectrum and an average value of a reference set of normalized spectra which correspond to normal tissues is calculated, which provides for amplifying small changes in weak signals from malignant tissues for improved analysis. The calculated differential normalized spectrum is correlated to a specific condition of a tissue sample.

Title: Flexible coupling having re-entrant curved columns for maintaining high torsional rigidity despite misalignment
Inventor: JEWELL HOLLIS
IPC: F16D3/52
Filed: 1997-08-15
Abstract: For shafts that are nominally collinear and are to be coupled to rotate together while being subject to misalignments of different kinds, a flexible coupling is provided that includes curved reentrant columns circumferentially spaced about the axis of rotation and individually deformable by bending or twisting, or both. The composite result is that torque of a given loading is transferred uniformly from the driving to the driven member regardless of the misalignment effects, since different deformations are introduced and compensated in the columns, dependent on their instantaneous positions in the cycle of rotation. The arrangement enables meeting different load and misalignment requirements by varying the parameters of the columns, the manner in which they are coupled to the shafts, and the characteristics of the columns along their lengths. Furthermore, different combinations of the couplings can be used to achieve special results.
