Patent EP-0865768-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KASEVICH RAYMOND S
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 1998-03-19
Abstract: A method and system for the delivery of radiofrequency energy to the
tissue, particularly, the prostate, to alleviate the symptoms of BPH is disclosed. The
system incorporates a bipolar or multipolar electrode array to create an electric field where
the heat created is confined solely to a specific volume of the prostate gland and therefore
the heated tissue is defined only by the electrode geometry. The bipolar electrode array
provides a variety of three dimensional, symmetric heating patterns within the prostatic
tissue depending on the relative electrode lengths and angular separation. The system
provides precision tissue temperature and impedance measurements thereby enabling the
surgeon to accurately predict heating pattern performance and tissue response to RF
heating.

Abstract: A digital optical switch (100) includes an input waveguide (102) connected to a Y-shaped
branching waveguide (104) having two legs, each of the legs being connected to an output
waveguide (106,108). Each output waveguide (106,108) forms one waveguide of a directional coupler,
the other waveguide (110,112) of which has its output dissipated into the substrate (101). Electrodes (114,116,118,122,124)
are connected to voltage sources (120,126,128) such that the switch is operative between two
states. In the first state, transmission of optical energy is enhanced between the input
waveguide (102) and the first output waveguide (106) and inhibited between the input waveguide (102)
and the second output waveguide (108). Coupling between the first output waveguide (106) and
the other waveguide (110) of its respective directional coupler is inhibited and coupling
between the second output waveguide (108) and the other waveguide (112) of its respective
directional coupler is enhanced. In the second state, transmission of optical energy is
inhibited between the input waveguide (102) and the first output waveguide (106) and enhanced
between the input waveguide (102) and the second output waveguide (108). Coupling between
the first output waveguide (106) and the other waveguide (110) of its respective directional
coupler is enhanced and coupling between the second output waveguide (108) and the
other waveguide (112) of its respective directional coupler is inhibited.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer system for transfer of fluids,
such as hydrocarbons between two floating structures. The transfer
system of the present invention comprises two generally vertically
oriented duct sections (11,13) which are placed at an angle (α)
with the vertical. These two sections are connected to a substantially
horizontal third duct section (12). Near the connection points of the
vertically oriented duct sections (11,13) and the horizontal duct
section (12), a tensioning weight (16,17) is provided such that a
tensioning force in the horizontal duct section is created. Hereby
bending/kinking and or buckling due to currents or floating systems
dynamics is reduced. A relatively long horizontal duct section can be
used which is preferably made of hard pipe, having a reduced swing.

Abstract: The present invention provides an eccentric shaft
coupling (10) having a high durability, capable of dealing
with a great torque load and transmitting correctly
rotational movement. Two pairs of protrusions (28,29) of
cylindrical boss flanges (18,19) secured to extremities of
two rotating shafts (12,14) are linked through an
intermediate disk (32) with phases shifted by 90° from each
other. The intermediate disk (32) is made of a material
having a satisfactory strength and rigidity. Each of the two
pairs of protrusions (28,29) is put slidably between plane
portions of two liners (38), each having a partial
cylindrical shape, whose cross section is enclosed by an arc
and a secant, inserted dismountably into a cylindrical cavity
along inner walls to be guided. Only the liners (38), each
having a partial cylindrical shape, whose cross section is
enclosed by an arc and a secant, are subjected to strong wear
and therefore, when they are worn, they can be easily
exchanged.

Abstract: In a method and a device for generation of path profiles for use in radio wave
propagation planning, several path profiles, adjacent to a generated first,
primary path (501) are generated (503). Obstacles detected in the adjacent
path profiles are then transformed and translated (505) onto the primary path
profile, whereby a resulting path profile taking into account both obstacles
present in the primary path profile and obstacles close to it. The method and
the device are particularly useful in urban and suburban areas where
obstacles tend to be of a discrete nature, and can be used for many types of
applications such as point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and area coverage
applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump (10) for a hydraulic vehicle brake system. According to the invention, an outlet duct (90, 94, 96) formed as a groove in the base of the cylinder (64) and a closing component (68) are configured in order to simplify and reduce the cost of production. This enables the cylinder sleeve (26) and the closing component (68) to be produced without cutting by reshaping. One advantage of mounting the outlet duct (90) in the base of the cylinder (64) is that it is arranged in an axial direction close to the seat (84) of an outlet valve (82) thus counteracting the production of noise.

Abstract: La topologie en anneau double à mode de transfert synchrone dynamique a deux anneaux (12, 14) aux directions de fibres opposées (H1, H2). Les anneaux doubles peuvent avoir une pluralité de noeuds communs (A-F). Un premier canal (K) peut être établi dans un premier segment qui s'étend entre le premier et le deuxième noeuds. Les jetons associés au premier canal (K) peuvent être fournis. Ainsi, des créneaux temporels peuvent être transmis dans le premier canal (K) du premier au deuxième noeud. Si une défaillance de fibre (U) apparaît dans le premier segment, le deuxième noeud risque de d'abord détecter la défaillance de fibre (U) et de transmettre un message de défaillance de fibre. Ensuite, il est déterminé si le premier canal (K) s'étend à travers la défaillance de fibre (U). Si le premier canal est affecté par la défaillance de fibre (U), un message de défaillance de canal est alors transmis et le premier canal (K) est terminé et tous les jetons associés au premier segment sont enlevés. Si le premier canal (K) n'est pas affecté, alors les créneaux temporels continuent à être transmis sur le premier canal (K).

Abstract: An asynchronous conveyor system with controlled smooth stopping and starting. The conveyer system defines a path with sections (Z1 . . . Z6) independently driven. The conveyed items (2A, . . . 2D) may be independently accumulated on one or more path sections of the conveyor system. External sensors (8, 8A, 14, 14A) are distributed along different path sections of the conveyors system and are used to control the location and the flow of items in either direction. An idler wheel with a sensed rest position is also disclosed as an item sensing mechanism. The drive system for the conveyor system may be stepper motors, DC, AC, hysteresis motors or other such motors. In each case the motors are controlled to provide smooth transportation of the items. In another embodiment, servomotors are used and an internal sensed characteristic of the servo motor provides and indication of an item being on the conveyor path section associated with the servo. The operation then is similar to the use of an actual sensor. The logic controller for the conveyor system may be locally distributed or centrally located.

Abstract: Selon l'invention on accroît l'efficacité de plusieurs traitements PDT (thérapie photodynamique) suivant au moins un premier traitement PDT en augmentant le taux des neutrophiles du patient, afin de porter ce taux au-dessus d'un niveau normal. Cette augmentation du taux des neutrophiles conduit à un enlèvement plus rapide des cellules anormales mortes et stromas détruits, permettant ainsi à la lumière administrée lors de traitements PDT ultérieurs d'atteindre plus efficacement les cellules anormales, encore vivantes, et de les détruire, sur la surface de la tumeur. Cet enlèvement accéléré des cellules tumorales mortes permet également d'évaluer les progrès du traitement, étant donné que la taille réelle de la tumeur doit être plus apparente dans une image du site. En permettant la destruction plus rapide d'une tumeur, à l'aide de plusieurs traitements PDT, on diminue également le risque d'extension métastatique des cellules anormales, en dehors du site de traitement.
