Granted: 2006-11-28
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting and measuring transient state fluorescence from a solution or a surface for immunoassays. The fluorescence method generates a histogram of the intensity as a function of time for a transient state fluorescence determination. This method comprises a step of determining a preliminary histogram of the shape of the histogram and multiplying it by the ratio of the total number of events divided by the number of events comprising the preliminary histogram. The method utilizes a relatively high powered and relatively high repetition rate light source with high speed detection electronics to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of the fluorescence analysis.

Title: Toilet seat lifting and lowering device
Inventor: PANTOS WILLIAM P
IPC: A47K13/04
Filed: 2005-10-28
Granted: 2011-02-01
Abstract: A toilet seat lifting and lowering device for pivoting the seat to its raised position and for pivoting it back to its horizontal position without having to touch the seat. A first lever arm is rigidly attached at one end to a first part of a torque transfer mechanism and at its other end to a foot pedal and a second lever arm is rigidly attached at one end to a second part of the torque transfer mechanism and at its other end to the toilet seat. With the toilet seat in its horizontal position, a downward force on the pedal produces a rotation of the first part of the torque transfer mechanism which produces an opposite rotation of the second part of the torque transfer mechanism causing the toilet seat to pivot to its raised position. Lifting the pedal, preferably by providing an upward force under the pedal, lowers the seat to the horizontal position. In a preferred embodiment, a counterweight positionable on the first lever arm is provided to provide a constant torque to partially oppose the torque produced by the weight of the toilet seat about its pivot axis. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second parts of the torque transfer mechanism are both cams.

Title: Procedes et systemes de traitement au laser mettant en application un faisceau de sortie non uniforme

Granted: 2014-06-10
Abstract: Procédés et dispositifs thérapeutiques, tels que traitement de régénérescence de la peau, mettant en application un rayonnement laser non uniforme. Une partie d'intensité élevée du rayonnement laser provoque la destruction du collagène et son rétrécissement à l'intérieur de parties sélectionnées de la zone de traitement, tandis qu'une partie d'intensité inférieure du rayonnement provoque la stimulation des fibroblastes conduisant à la production de collagène dans d'autres parties de la zone de traitement. Un faisceau de sortie émis par une source laser, tel qu'un laser Nd:YAG, est couplé dans un système optique modifiant ce faisceau, de manière à produire un faisceau de diamètre important présentant un profil d'énergie non uniforme, composé d'une pluralité de zones d'intensité élevée entourées par des zones d'intensité inférieure à l'intérieur du faisceau de traitement. Ces zones d'intensité supérieure réchauffent des parties sélectionnées du tissu ciblé à des températures suffisantes pour un premier traitement (par exemple, rétrécissement du collagène), tandis que les zones d'intensité inférieure produisent suffisamment d'énergie pour un deuxième traitement (par exemple, production stimulée de collagène). Il est possible de traiter simultanément une zone de tissu fortement dimensionnée, de préférence 7-10 mm de diamètre, tout en limitant au maximum le risque de brûlure ou d'autres détériorations causées à la peau. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention met en application un faisceau de fibre afin de produite un faisceau de sortie d'énergie non uniforme, et, dans un autre mode de réalisation, elle met en application un groupe de lentilles à diffraction afin de produire ce faisceau de sortie non uniforme. Un système de refroidissement peut également être intégré dans ce système de traitement au laser. Une source de lumière pulsée peut également être intégrée dans ce système dans le but de réaliser une thérapie combinée de régénérescence de la peau.
