Granted: 1998-09-02
Abstract: A trocar (100) wherein the cannula (28) can derive a varying length. The cannula contains a distal portion (32) and a proximal portion (30). The distal portion is retractable with respect to the proximal portion. Generally, the distal portion retracts around the outside of the proximal portion. There is disposed a sealing (34) between the distal and proximal portions, to allow for sealing of the proximal portion wall with respect to the puncture cite, to enhance insufflation. There is further disclosed a mechanism which causes the distal portion to lock with respect to the proximal portion. Furthermore, the obturator contains a latching mechanism (70) which mates with the distal portion. When the obturator is retracted, this latching mechanism may be actuated by an actuation mechanism (64) contained in the handle (60) of the obturator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: For the determination of antibodies (Ak), in particular of autoantibodies, such as human autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase (hTPO), a procedure is adopted in which the antibodies to be determined are bound to a solid or undissolved phase in a conventional manner using unspecific binders and are then selectively labelled, for a subsequent measurement, by reaction with a crude antigen preparation (Ag) and a further, labelled antibody or antibody fragment (F(AK)*) which are specific for the antigen but are not bound, or not significantly bound, by the binder. The presence of the antibodies (AK) to be determined manifests itself in the form of a label bound to the solid or undissolved phase, the amount of said label being proportional to the amount of the antibodies to be determined in the sample.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the oxidation and cleaning of aqueous environments ranging from lakes and streams to swimming pools. The invention also concerns a device for the practice of the method as well as the use of the device. The invention consists of a reaction vat (1) for submergence in liquid (100). In the reaction vat (1) there is a rotor which causes a downward rotating current in the reaction vat. Above the reaction vat (1) a mixture of ozone and UV-irradiated liquid is conducted and is in turn sucked down and mixed with the liquid that is to be conditioned during the rotating downward current. The invention can be used for the oxidation and disinfection of both sensitive biological environments such as lakes, streams, etc., and less sensitive environments like swimming pools and the like, since the conditioning ozone can either be ozone produced using UV-irradiation or so-called high tension ozone, also known as corona ozone.

Abstract: An endoscopic multiple sample bioptome includes a hollow outer member and an axially displaceable inner member extending therethrough. The proximal ends of the outer and inner members are coupled to an actuator for axially displacing one relative to the other. The distal end of the outer member is coupled to one of a cylinder having a sharp distal edge and a jaw assembly, while the distal end of the inner member is coupled to the other. The jaw assembly includes a pair of opposed, preferably toothed jaw cups each of which is coupled by a resilient arm to a base member. The arms are bent to urge the jaws away from each other. The base member is mounted inside the cylinder and axial movement of the jaw assembly and cylinder relative to each other draws the arms into the cylinder and brings the jaw cups together in a biting action. When the outer member is coupled to the jaw assembly and the inner member is coupled to the cylinder, the distal end of the inner member is preferably coupled to the cylinder by a bent end which is welded to a hole in the cylinder wall. One of the jaws is preferably larger and has a pair of proximal wings. The wings and an upper edge portion of the larger jaw are bent radially inward and enter the smaller jaw when the jaws are closed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing ultrasonic spectroscopy provides for rapid evaluation of test materials with good amplitude, balanced response at all test frequencies. A swept frequency signal is generated which is applied to a transmit transducer coupled to a test part. A receive transducer provides a detected signal that is fully digitized for real-time or post signal processing. The created swept frequency signal can be equalized from data obtained from direct coupling between transmit and receive transducers. The resultant data is analyzed for amplitude and/or phase information as a function of frequency and can be used to analyze filter characteristics, identify resonances, characterize material signatures and many other applications.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the treatment of diseases of the prostate, including BPH and prostate cancer, utilizing transurethrally applied focussed ultrasound energy to produce hyperthermal and thermotherapeutic effects in diseased tissue are disclosed. A first preferred embodiment of the apparatus relies on visual control; and a second preferred embodiment of the apparatus incorporates an integrated ultrasonic imaging and therapy transducer. The apparatus and method feature the close proximal placement of the ultrasound transducer to the diseased tissue to be treated, resulting in less attenuation of the beam and deposition of a greater fraction of the total emitted ultrasound energy in the selected portion of the diseased tissue. The ultrasound energy passes atraumatically through the urethral wall and other tissue not targeted. At the focal point of the ultrasound energy, substantial heating of diseased tissue to produce hyperthermal effects therein occurs, and even higher thermotherapeutic temperatures are attainable to produce coagulative necrosis of diseased tissue. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention provides for a method and apparatus for the rapid generation of a snapshot copy of the data stored in a RAID storage subsystem (100). In addition to the user's configured RAID logical units (110), the present invention provides for the definition within a RAID controller (102) of a logical RAID level-one device (104) having an operational half (106) comprising the user's defined logical unit(s) and having a non-operational mirror component (108). The user access data is stored on the RAID subsystem by direct access to the user's defined logical unit and when a user directs a snapshot copy request to the operational half (106) and user defined logical units (110), the RAID controller (102) responds by temporarily configuring available storage capacity (e.g. spare disk drives) in the RAID subsystem to perform the function of the non-operational mirror component (108) of the logical RAID level-one device (104). Restoring operation of the non-operational mirror component (108) further causes the RAID controller (102) to rebuild the content of the restored mirror component by copying the content of the user's configured device(s) to the temporary replacement mirror component (124). Following completion of the rebuild operation, the logical RAID level-one device (104) is restored to the status of having a non-operational mirror component (108). The data copied to the temporarily reconfigured available storage capacity is then returned to the user requesting the snapshot data for further processing as, for example, backup. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for compensating for propagation time delays in a communication network includes connecting each of a plurality of subscribers to a ring feeder for a common transmission of digital source data and control data in a data stream synchronous with a clock signal. The source and control data are transmitted in a format prescribing a pulsed sequence of individual bit groups of identical length containing component bit groups each forming a data channel for source data or control data. At least two subscribers, which are connected at different locations to the ring feeder, receive source data that are transmitted by one of the subscribers on different data channels and are correlated with one another. Specific bit positions are reserved in each bit group for a numerical value relayed from subscriber to subscriber. The numerical value is always set by one of the subscribers to a fixed initial value and incremented by each following subscriber along the ring feeder. Propagation time differences in the mutually correlated source data are compensated for on the basis of the numerical value.
