Granted: 1999-06-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method for placement of a tubular body in the urethra. The tubular body includes a proximal portion adapted for placement toward a bladder end and bladder neck end of the urethra and a distal portion opposite from the proximal portion. A sensor component located on the tubular body is responsive to a feature of the urethra and outputs a first signal indicating proper placement of the proximal portion of the tubular body relative to the bladder and bladder neck. Preferably, an insertion tool is used during positioning of the urethral apparatus. The insertion tool is coupled to the distal end of the urethral apparatus and is used to push the urethral apparatus proximally in the urethra. The first signal can be transmitted from the urethral apparatus through the insertion tool from which it is perceivable by the person positioning the urethral device. Upon proper placement, the insertion tool is decoupled from the urethral apparatus and withdrawn leaving the urethral apparatus in place in the urethra with the proximal portion properly positioned relative to the bladder neck and bladder.

Granted: 2001-06-23
Abstract: This invention is about the fabricating method of circuit board. In this invention, plural sub-circuit boards with the same type are fabricated simultaneously on a large-area substrate and the formed die is used to punch out the outline of sub-circuit board so as to have plural connecting flakes, which are ring connected in between sub-circuit board and substrate. Each sub-circuit of substrate is undergone with circuit test. If one sub-circuit board of the substrate is damaged, then a cut-off module is used to punch and break the connecting flake between the damaged sub-circuit and substrate such that the damaged sub-circuit is taken out and a sample hole is left on the substrate. A refined repair module is used to punch and repair the connecting flake. Furthermore, a trimming-edge module is used to punch out good sub-circuit board for repair purpose on a spare substrate. A fabricating fixture is then used to guide good sub-circuit board into the sample hole. This good sub-circuit board for repair purpose is stuck and fixed inside the sample hole so as to replace and repair the damaged substrate. Therefore, the production and fabrication cost can be decreased.
