Title: Method for improved safety in externally focused microwave thermotherapy for treating breast cancer
Inventor: FENN ALAN J
IPC: A61N5/02
Filed: 2003-07-15
Granted: 2014-11-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus that increases safety when employing externally focused adaptive phased array microwave thermotherapy (hyperthermia) for breast cancer treatment include microwave absorbing pads and metallic shielding to prevent undesired or stray surface tissue heating and to cushion the breast from mechanical pressure during breast compression. The microwave absorbing pads are attached on the top of the microwave waveguide thermotherapy applicators and on top of the breast compression paddles. A metallic-shielding strip mounted across the top portion of the microwave applicator aperture acts to block microwave radiation from illuminating the base of the breast and chest wall area. The patient treatment table utilizes a metallic shield to shield the body from stray microwave radiation. Combined E-field and temperature sensors within a single catheter are used to require only a single minimally invasive skin entry point for E-field focusing and measurement of the tumor temperature. Breast compression is maintained for a period of time following microwave-induced heating to accumulate additional equivalent thermal dose. Treatments incorporating the safety improvements include thermotherapy for early-stage breast carcinomas, locally advanced breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in-situ, and benign breast lesions.

Granted: 2008-04-08
Abstract: An adapter device includes a DC/DC adapter to receive DC power from a DC power source, and output a regulated DC voltage (V out). A source determination circuitry receives the DC power from the DC power source and compares a magnitude of a voltage of the DC power with a reference magnitude of a reference voltage (V ref). When the magnitude of the voltage of the DC power is greater than the reference magnitude, a data signal (V data) having a first value is output. When the magnitude of the voltage of the DC power is less than the reference magnitude, the V data signal having a second value is output. The V data signal is received by control circuitry of an electronic device. When the V data signal has the first value, the electronic device operates in a first mode where battery charging circuitry is disabled. When the V data signal has the second value, the battery charging circuitry is enabled.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fabricating an open-porous molded body which is formed from nickel or iron and at least another element which form solid solutions or intermetallic phases as well as a molded body which is correspondingly fabricated, and the use thereof. During the fabrication it is proceeded then, such that a coating with a metallic powder forming solid solutions or intermetallic phases is deposited upon an open-porous body made of nickel or iron by means of an organic binder. Subsequent thereto, the open-porous body provided with the coating is brought into the desired shape with observing minimum bending radii, and subsequently the organic components are removed in a first thermal treatment step. By means of a second thermal treatment the open-porous molded body is sintered, and the solid solution or the intermetallic phase are formed.

Abstract: Methods and related apparatus for generating dispersion curves and conducting shear slowness logging are set forth. The methods include backpropagating detected dispersive waveforms in the Fourier domain while accounting for dispersion in an anisotropic and inhomogeneous formation, and stacking the processed waveforms. The stacking may occur in the frequency or time domains. The semblance of the stacked and windowed waveforms is compared against the detected waveforms. In accounting for dispersion during backpropagation, a plurality of parameters which describe dispersion curves are varied over ranges in order to optimize semblance. At each depth of interest, it is then possible to obtain a dispersion curve of greatest semblance. Where both an x-dipole and y-dipole are used to generate the waves, a dispersion curve of greatest semblance for each may be generated. In addition, from the dispersion curves, formation shear slowness(es) may be plotted as a function of formation depth and orientation.

Title: Detection apparatus, optical path length measuring apparatus, device for measurement, method for evaluating optical member, and method for detecting change in temperature

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a detection apparatus, an optical path length measuring apparatus, a method for evaluating an optical member, and the like, which can evaluate optical characteristics such as chromatic dispersion and an optical path length at a high speed. Another object is to provide a detection apparatus and a method for detecting a change in temperature, which can evaluate chemical and biological reactions and an effect of hyperthermia with high accuracy. In a detection apparatus 10A, zero-order light B0 undergoing chromatic dispersion of a measurement object S is superimposed on first-order light B1 shifted in frequency, whereby a low-frequency beat is produced, and wavelength dependence of a beat phase thereof is measured. Moreover, using an AC electric signal from a frequency shifter 12 as a phase reference signal, a relative position of a probe signal is detected. In addition, it is effective to shift the frequencies of probe light and reference light having mutually different wavelengths and determine a beat phase of probe light in a relative manner on the basis of a beat phase of reference light.

Patent CA-2516121-C (CA)
Title: Visco-elastic coating paste for protection against macro-fouling and method of fabricating a coating
Inventor: BAUM CHRISTOF
IPC: C09K3/18
Filed: 2004-02-12
Granted: 2011-02-01
Abstract: Marine organisms such as algae and barnacles, choose sea surfaces for colonizing, as a result of which loss of function and increase in weight and friction can disadvantageously occur. Silicone oils, permanently cross-linked silicone resins or silicone particles in cross-linked resins, all of which being used for protecting against fouling (top curve), do not achieve any optimal results since no individual adaptation to the prevailing environmental conditions ensues. The inventive polymeric coating paste, on the contrary, has a defined rheological switching behavior (bottom curve) based on a flow point, which can be set to the hydrodynamic and biological environmental conditions for the part and which is between 5 Pa and 2000 Pa above the wall shear stress of the unfouled part to be protected. When the part is in a state in which it is not fouled, the nontoxic and hydrophobic coating paste forms a solid colonization substrate. In the minimally burdened state, the coating paste liquefies and acts as a loss layer thereby having a self-cleaning effect. The flow point can be set by selecting the composition base of the paste and by the homogeneous mixing thereof with fillers that increase or decrease shear.  The rheological switching behavior makes it possible to efficiently prevent permanent fouling on sea structures.
