Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to a technique for selection of parameter configurations for a neurostimulator using genetic algorithms. The technique may be employed by a programming device to allow a clinician to select parameter configurations, and then program an implantable neurostimulator to deliver therapy using the selected parameter configurations. In operation, the programming device executes an electrode configuration search algorithm to guide the clinician in the selection of electrode configurations. The search algorithm relies on a genetic algorithms to identify potential optimum electrode configurations within an electrode set. The genetic algorithms provide guidance in the electrode configuration selections process, interactively guiding the clinician by suggesting the configurations that are most likely to be efficacious given the results of tests already performed during an evaluation session.

Abstract: A mechanism for transferring energy from an external power source to an implantable medical device is disclosed. A sensor may be used to measure a parameter that correlates to a temperature of the system that occurs during the transcutaneous coupling of energy. For example, the sensor may measure temperature of a surface of an antenna of the external power source. The measured parameter may then be compared to a programmable limit. A control circuit such as may be provided by the external power source may then control the temperature based on the comparison. The programmable limit may be, for example, under software control so that the temperature occurring during transcutaneous coupling of energy may be modified to fit then-current circumstances.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement de moteur électrique embarqué (7) entraînant une pompe à huile auxiliaire (8) qui permet de fournir une pression hydraulique ATF à une transmission via un arbre rotatif (9) supporté pivotant sur des roulements à billes (10) et (11) uniquement lorsque le ralenti du moteur s'arrête.  Lorsqu'une automobile roule et que la pompe à huile auxiliaire (8) n'est pas utilisée, le moteur électrique (7) tourne à très bas régime ou par intermittence.  De cette manière, le moteur électrique peut être entraîné en rotation légèrement dans le sens de la marche de l'automobile, ce qui empêche la formation de creux dans les roulements à billes.  Le procédé de fonctionnement de l'invention peut s'appliquer non seulement au moteur électrique qui entraîne la pompe à huile auxiliaire, mais également à un moteur électrique embarqué entraînant des dispositifs entraînés tels qu'un essuie-glace et un lève-glace électrique via un arbre rotatif supporté pivotant sur des paliers à roulement.

Abstract: The entire process of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is simplified by using oligonucleotide-immobilized microplates made of, e.g., polypropylene, to which oligonucleotides are securely immobilized and which can be subjected to thermal cycles of PCR. RT-PCR is preferably conducted in solid-phase. Capturing of mRNA and RT-PCR can be conducted in the same plates. The cDNA synthesized from the mRNA captured on the microplates can be used more than once. Further, in combination with the microplates, a filter plate is used for the preparation of cell lysates wherein target cells are placed on the filter plate, and a lysis buffer is passed through the cell layer on the filter to transfer cell lysate directly to the microplate via well-to-well communication.

Abstract: A prescription for an orthodontic brace is selected by providing data representing a number of teeth of the dental arch and by displaying images of the teeth in two or more different positions. Images of at least one tooth when in the first position and when in the second position are simultaneously displayed in superimposed fashion, and any difference in orientations of the displayed tooth images between the first position and the second position appears in contrast. As a consequence, the relative difference in positions can be readily observed. The invention is particularly useful for selecting a prescription of a brace from two or more prescriptions, and is also useful for observing the relative effect of a single prescription when used on certain teeth in comparison to the position of the same teeth during an earlier stage of treatment.
