Abstract: A method for mapping electrical activity of a heart includes inserting a probe into a chamber of the heart, the probe including at least one position sensing device (40) and a plurality of non-contact electrodes (46). Position coordinates of the electrodes are determined relative to an endocardial surface of the chamber, using the at least one position sensing device (40), and electrical potentials are measured at the determined position coordinates using the electrodes. Electrical potentials are computed at a plurality of points on the endocardial surface, using the measured potentials and the position coordinates, so as to generate a map of electrical activity over the endocardial surface based on the computed potentials. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a cage-type intervertebral implant that is made up of a dished side wall (1), a cambered side wall (2), a front part (3), a rear part (4) and at least one intermediate wall (5, 6), thus comprising at least two cavities (7, 8, 9). An upper and a lower cage surface (10, 11) include a first lordosis angle (alpha1) in the direction front part-rear part and a second lordosis angle (alpha2) perpendicular thereto, said cage surfaces (10', 11) intersecting outside the cage. The cage structure is characterized by a double-wedge geometry (double-wedge-shaped cage) that is defined by the two lordosis angles (alpha1) and (alpha2) and that advantageously adapts itself to the anatomical conditions in the intervertebral area. The cage is further characterized by a high moment of tilt that effectively counteracts a tipping of the cage. The method used for producing the cage structure is essentially characterized by working the cage material by means of a high-pressure water jet, said cold-cutting technique having proved to be the most economical.

Abstract: Method of high-strength sandwich skin fabrication uses the thickness of a high-density foam skin core (27) to mask minor imperfections on the surface of the mold (10,20), thereby allowing the mold to be divided into separate integral parts that have the capacity to be moved, then fixed and set, so as to describe different curves or modify dimensions of the board. Mold is reversible; male/female configurations permit fabrication of a wide array of custom designs. Method offers low production costs due to a rapid mold cycle, reduced labor, and efficient use of space, yet produces an exceptionally high strength, light weight board because of the increased shear strength of the monocoque perimeter rail (70), and the optimum fiber/resin ratio in the cored, structural sandwich skin.

Abstract: A pumping scheme for distributed Raman amplification (DRA) in optical fiber telecommunication systems is disclosed in which pump energy at the wavelength(s) required for DRA of the transmitted optical signal(s) is developed within the transmission fiber through a series, n, where n>=1, of Raman conversions. In preferred embodiments, a "primary' pump source of wavelength shorter than the ultimately desired pump wavelength(s) is launched into the fiber along with one or more significantly lower-power secondary "seed' sources. The wavelength and power of the secondary source(s) are chosen such that, when combined with the high-power primary source, Raman conversions within the fiber ultimately lead to the development of high power at the desired pump wavelength(s). In another embodiment, one or more seed sources are replaced by reflecting means to return, into the fiber, backward-travelling amplified spontaneous Raman scattered light resulting from high power in the fiber at a wavelength one Raman shift below the desired seed wavelength. In either case, the high power at the wavelength(s) required for DRA of the signal(s) is developed over a distributed length of the fiber rather than being launched from a terminal point, as in the prior art. Consequently, the maximum power at the desired pump wavelength(s), and the peak signal gain, occur some distance into the fiber from the launch terminal. In one exemplary embodiment, a distributed Raman preamplifier, improved noise performance results, since the Raman gain occurs, on average, at a greater distance from the receiving terminal than with the standard pumping scheme.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for determining the pollutant concentration of an exhaust gas at a first point (5) of an exhaust-gas system in an internal combustion engine (2). According to said method, a sensor (4) for determining the pollutant concentration is placed at a second point (6), downstream (3) of the first point (5) in the exhaust-gas system. Said sensor records a measured value, which is then transmitted to a chronological member (7), the latter (7) taking into consideration the time delay between a recording of a measured value at the first point (5) and a recording at the second point (6) and transmitting the measured value to a diagnostic unit (8), whereby said measured value is chronologically correlated with other, non-deferred measured values. Sensitive gas sensors can thus be placed at cooler points of the exhaust-gas system that are less exposed to vibration and can nevertheless determine the pollutant concentration at another point.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of detecting gluten-induced diseases such as e.g. celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis. Said diseases are indicated by the presence of autoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase tTG in the blood The test is carried out on a whole blood sample using tTG liberated from the red blood cells of the blood sample as an autoantigen. The liberated autoantigens react with the autoantibodies in the sample and form antigen-antibody complexes, which are detected. The presence of such complexes indicates the disease. The invention is also directed to the use of the autoantigen in a test and to a test-kit.
