Inventor: YOSHIDA TOSHIO C O NEC CORPORA
IPC: H04M1/03
Filed: 1994-12-28
Abstract: An arrangement for noise removal according to the present invention includes a microphone and an acoustic high-pass filter positioned in front of the microphone and consisting of the combination of an acoustic resistance, an acoustic compliance and an inertance. According to the invention, the acoustic resistance is composed of nonwoven fabric; the acoustic compliance, of a cavity; and the inertance, of a thin cavity connected to said cavity. This acoustic high-pass filter reduces unpleasant noise which arises from the microphone when a low-frequency high-pressure air stream, such as the speaker's breath, hits the mouthpiece of the telephone.

IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 1993-12-17
Abstract: A system for accessing a patient's cardiac anatomy which includes an occluding catheter with an expandable member or balloon on a distal extremity of the catheter which when expanded within the patient's ascending aorta separates the left side of the heart from the rest of the patient's arterial system. A cardiopulmonary by-pass is connected to a major vein, e.g. femoral, and a major artery, e.g. femoral, to withdraw blood from the major vein, remove carbon dioxide, oxygenate the withdrawn venous blood and then return the oxygenated blood to the patient's arterial system through the major artery. Preferably, the heart muscle or myocardium is paralyzed by the retrograde or antegrade delivery of a liquid containing cardioplegic material to the myocardium through patient's coronary sinus and coronary veins. The pulmonary trunk is vented by withdrawing liquid from the trunk through an inner lumen of an elongated catheter or by holding at least partially open the pulmonary valve and preferably also the tricuspid valve which depressurizes the left atrium. The cardiac accessing system is particularly suitable for removing aortic valves and replacing the removed valve with a prosthetic valve.
Patent EP-0680513-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AUGUST J THOMAS
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1994-01-21
Abstract: The inventors have discovered a targeting signal that will direct proteins to the endosomal/lysosomal compartment, and they have demonstrated that chimeric proteins containing a luminal antigenic domain and a cytoplasmic endosomal/lysosomal targeting signal will effectively target antigens to that compartment, where the antigenic domain is processed and peptides from it are presented on the cell surface in association with major histocompatibility (MHC) class II molecules. Chimeric DNA encoding the antigen of interest, linked to an endosomal/lysosomal targeting sequence, inserted in an immunization vector, can introduce the chimeric genes into cells, where the recombinant antigens are expressed and targeted to the endosomal/lysosomal compartment. As a result, the antigens associate more efficiently with MHC class II molecules, providing enhanced in vivo stimulation of CD4+ T cells specific for the recombinant antigen. Delivering antigens to an endosomal/lysosomal compartment by means of chimeric constructs containing such lysosomal targeting signals will be of value in any vaccination or immunization strategy that seeks to stimulate CD4+ MHC class II restricted immune responses.

Abstract: A document processing apparatus (10) incorporates a counterfeit detection system for identifying counterfeit suspect documents (22) on the basis of the magnetic characteristics of the documents (22). Each document (22) is transported within the vicinity of a magnet read head (86), which produces an electronic signal (210) in response thereto. The signal (210) from read head (86) is conditioned by a conditioning circuit (110) to be compatible with an analog-to-digital converter (304). The conditioning circuit (110) includes one or more amplifiers (130), a filter (140), a rectifier (160) and an integrator (180). The conditioned signal (220) from the integrator (180) is provided to the analog-to-digital converter (304) and is optionally limited to a compatible voltage level. As each document (22) is detected, a plurality of sampled values are obtained by the analog-to-digital converter (304). The sampled values are accumulated to produce one or more cumulative values (242, 274, 292, 404, 412) representative of the document (22). The cumulative values are compared with one or more predetermined reference values (263, 264, 276, 280, 282, 288, 402, 406, 410, 414) associated with a genuine document (22) in order to determine whether the detected document (22) is a counterfeit suspect document (22).

Title: Imaging and therapy intraluminal probe and therapeutic treatment apparatus utilizing same
Inventor: DORY JACQUES
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 1994-07-26
Abstract: The therapy and imaging probe of the invention comprises a probe body (20') of an elongate shape defining a general axis (X-X), one imaging transducer (40') for transmitting imaging waves, and one therapy transducer (30') for transmitting therapy waves. The imaging transducer is mounted on first support means providing translational movement of the imaging transducer within the probe, parallel to the general axis (X-X) of the probe, between a withdrawn position and an extended position. The therapy transducer is mounted on second support means providing rotation of the therapy transducer within the probe, about an axis of rotation (X1-X1) parallel to the general axis (X-X) of the probe but offset with respect to the imaging transducer, to allow rotation of the therapy transducer between a withdrawn position and a treatment position. In the withdrawn or non-active position of the therapy transducer, the imaging transducer may be brought by translational movement to its extended position to occupy the place occupied by the therapy transducer in its treatment position. Thus, the imaging transducer may form an image of a region for treatment by the therapy transducer. In the treatment position of the therapy transducer, the imaging transducer is at its withdrawn position. The therapy transducer, during the transmission of therapy waves, directly transmits the therapy waves in a direction substantially identical to the direction in which the imaging transducer transmits the imaging waves when imaging waves are being transmitted.

The contact lens (50) is not substantially greater in diameter than said cornea (10''). The process for manufacturing the lens (50) uses three-dimensional topographic data (including elevation data) from a multiplicity of points (A', B') on the cornea. The data is used to shape at least the peripheral portion of the posterior surface (54) of the lens (50) to cause it to conform to and/or match the corresponding surface of the cornea (10'').

Abstract: A deposition rate monitor based on the measurement of optical attenuation is described for use in deposition equipment such as sputtering systems used to deposit thin metal films on semiconductor devices. A beam of light (20) is passed through the region between a deposition source (14) and the deposition substrate (10). The beam of light (20) is attenuated by the material being transported from the source (14) to the substrate (10) before the light is detected at a detector (18). The level of attenuation of the light passing through the deposition environment can be empirically related to the rate at which material is being deposited on the substrate (10). The optical absorption deposition rate monitor can be used to adjust processing variables to maintain a constant deposition rate.
