Abstract: Capteur de pression (11) dans lequel la force est exercée par l'intermédiaire d'une membrane (14) et d'un plongeur (18) sur un élément de mesure piézo-résistif (21). L'élément de mesure (21) est une partie d'une pastille au silicium monocristallin (20). Cette dernière comprend une pastille au silicium monocristallin, sur laquelle l'élément de mesure piézo-résistif (21) est monté en circuit demi-pont ou en circuit à pont de Wheatstone. Un circuit de stabilisation (23), un circuit amplificateur (24) pour le signal de mesure à relever et des éléments électriques pour la compensation de température du point zéro et la sensibilité de l'élément de mesure (21) se trouvent en outre sur la pastille au silicium. De plus, il est prévu des éléments (51) pour le réglage fonctionnel au moyen de connexions supplémentaires. Il est ainsi possible de régler de l'extérieur, par exemple, la sensibilité et le point zéro du capteur à l'état complètement monté de la pastille (20), sans réglage au laser. Le capteur de pression (11) est, en outre, de construction relativement petite et peu encombrante.

Abstract: Dans un appareil d'imgerie utilisant un élément de support rotatif agencé pour porter un élément d'écriture, une source de lumière est ménagée mobile par rapport à l'élément d'écriture afin de projeter un rayon de lumière d'écriture sur l'élément d'écriture et générer ainsi une image. La source de lumière comprend une pluralité de diodes laser et une pluralité de fibres optiques connectant les diodes à une tête d'écriture mobile adjacente à l'élément porteur, les fibres optiques dans la tête d'écriture ayant des extrémités de sortie agencées suivant un réseau linéaire. L'amélioration consiste en un substrat de support sensiblement plan, disposé dans la tête d'écriture et conçu pour supporter les extrémités de sortie des fibres optiques sur une première surface de celui-ci. Ce substrat est pourvu de plusieurs rainures sur ladite première surface, chaque rainure recevant l'extrémité de sortie d'une fibre. Un agencement de focalisation est prévu pour focaliser le rayon d'écriture par rapport à l'élément d'écriture et comprend une diode laser en vue de générer un rayon de focalisation de lumière qui est projeté sur l'élément d'écriture, et une cellule photoélectrique. Une fibre optique de focalisation connecte la diode de focalisation sur la tête d'écriture, l'extrémité de la fibre optique de focalisation au niveau de la tête d'écriture étant supportée sur la surface opposée du substrat par rapport à ladite première surface, sensiblement au centre du réseau linéaire des fibres optiques du faisceau d'écriture. Ainsi, le faisceau de focalisation est projeté sur l'élément d'écriture en avant du faisceau d'écriture et est séparé du faisceau d'écriture lorsqu'il est détecté par la cellule photoélectrique.

Abstract: An ophthalmic instrument having an elongated tube having proximal and distal end portions, a distal end and an elongated passage opening at a distal opening at the distal end. The distal end portion is sized to be received through an incision into the eye. An elongated member having a resiliently deformable end portion is at least partially received in the elongated passage of the tube. The distal end portion of the inner member has a curved configuration in a relaxed condition and is capable of performing a function within the eye. The tube and the inner member are relatively movable longitudinally so that the distal end portion of the inner member can be caused to project through the distal opening a variable amount to change the length of the arc of the curved configuration projecting from the distal opening. A hollow ultrasound needle is positioned in the inner member which is movable relative to the needle.

Abstract: A surgical tissue coagulator includes an elongate, biocompatible, flexible tube having an open distal end and a proximal end. The tube has an external diameter of less than about 5 mm, and is insertable into and maneuverable within a surgical endoscope. The proximal end of the tube is connectable with a source of argon gas so that a stream of the gas can flow through the tube and exit the distal end of the tube. A flexible wire is provided within the tube for conducting radiofrequency (RF) current. The wire has a distal end for positioning adjacent the distal end of the tube, and a tungsten tip is provided at the distal end of the wire for discharging an arc of RF energy away from the distal end of the wire within the stream of argon gas exiting the distal end of the tube. The wire has a proximal end opposite the distal end thereof. The wire is connectable at the proximal end thereof with a source of RF energy. A handle is attached to the tube adjacent the proximal end of the tube for maneuvering the tube within the endoscope while the handle is outside the endoscope. The process of the invention utilizes the surgical tissue coagulator defined above.

Abstract: The carrier plate (1) has a support plate (3) and a stop (4), between which a stack (2) of labels rests on the carrier plate (1). The carrier plate (1) is pivotable towards the suction drum (11). The suction drum (11) is driven by a stepping motor (13). Arranged in the suction drum (11) is the support (14), in the interior of which a suction draught can be applied. Blowing nozzles (30) are arranged near the suction drum (11). To remove a label, the air-passage holes of the suction drum (11) are aligned with the corresponding row of outlet holes (15) of the support (14). The carrier plate (1) is lowered towards the stationary suction drum (11), so that the lowest label is sucked onto the suction drum (11). The carrier plate (1) thereafter pivots upwards and an air jet is blown out of the blowing nozzles (30) between the sucked-up label and the remaining stack (2), in order to assist the separation. The suction drum (11) thereupon rotates in order to transport away the label now detached completely from the stack (2).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously monitoring cardiac output based upon phase shift between an input signal and a temperature signal indicative of change in blood temperature leaving the heart. In a preferred embodiment of a cardiac output monitoring system (10), a catheter (14) is provided with an electrical resistance heater (22). An electrical current having a sinusoidal wave form with a period of from 30 to 60 seconds is applied to the heater, causing power to be dissipated into the blood within a patient's heart (12). A temperature sensor (24) disposed near the catheter produces a signal indicative of the temperature of blood leaving the heart. The temperature signal and the signal corresponding to the electrical power dissipated in the heater are filtered at a frequency  omega corresponding to the frequency of the applied electrical current. The amplitude of the input power, the amplitude of the temperature signal, and their phase difference are used in calculating cardiac output. <IMAGE>
