Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil de traitement d'une insuffisance cardiaque congestive et des complications cardiaques connexes telles que les affections valvulaires. Cet appareil comprend un dispositif de contrainte placé sur le coeur qui est une enveloppe en matière flexible à structure maillée formant un volume entre une extrémité supérieure ouverte et une extrémité inférieure. L'enveloppe est dimensionnée de façon à insérer l'apex du coeur dans le volume par l'extrémité supérieure ouverte et à faire glisser l'enveloppe sur le coeur. L'enveloppe est également dimensionnée de sorte que sa partie longitudinale soit suffisante entre les extrémités supérieure et inférieure afin de contraindre la partie inférieure du coeur. L'enveloppe est conçue pour être ajustée sur le coeur et épouser parfaitement sa géométrie externe afin de contraindre la dilatation circonférentielle de celui-ci. Un cordon souple est lacé dans la matière de l'enveloppe de façon à resserrer la structure maillée lorsqu'on tire sur une extrémité du cordon. Un élément de support amovible permet de retenir le cordon dans une position fixe par rapport à l'enveloppe lors de la libération d'une tension de traction sur le cordon, l'élément de support se dégageant en réaction à une nouvelle tension de traction.

Abstract: An MRI apparatus with a magnet assembly for generating a uniform magnetic field in a measuring volume, wherein a combination of at least two magnetic coils is arranged adjacent an object to be examined in order to detect the radio frequency radiation emanating from the object. The combination may include, for example one birdcage coil (40) and one surface coil (45). The coils are arranged relative to one another and to the magnetic field in such a manner that their areas of sensitivity overlap and that their longitudinal conductors (42 and 47, respectively) extend parallel to the uniform magnetic field B0 and one in the prolongation of the other. It is demonstrated that the difference between the signal-to-noise ratios of the coils causes image degradation due to the disruption (51) of the sensitivity of the coil assembly in the zone between the coils. According to the invention, the end of the longitudinal conductor (49) of the coil having the highest signal-to-noise ratio (45) is bent away from its original plane, in the direction away from the object to be examined, in order to reduce the sensitivity disruption (51) of the coil assembly.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing the production of lithography reticles involves identifying 'proximity effect halos' around tight tolerance features in an IC layout data file. Features and defects outside the halos will not have a significant effect on the printing of the tight tolerance features. During reticle formation, the tight tolerance features and associated halos can be carefully written and inspected to ensure accuracy while the other portions of the reticle can be written/inspected less stringently for efficiency. The halo width can be determined empirically or can be estimated by process modeling. If an electron beam tool is used to write the reticle, a small spot size can be used to expose the tight tolerance features and the halos, whereas a large spot size can be used to expose the remainder of the reticle. A reticle production system can include a computer to read an IC layout data file, identify tight tolerance features, and define proximity effect halos. Tight tolerance features can be individually selected or automatically flagged according to user specifications. A graphical user interface can be provided to enable user input and control. The reticle production system can be coupled to a remote IC layout database through a LAN or a WAN. The reticle production system can be coupled to directly send a reticle data file to a reticle-writing tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for recognizing potential overheating of an object. For this purpose the temperature of the object is measured by means of temperature sensors. A signal processing arrangement determines the temperature gradient from the measured temperature values. A comparator compares the determined value of the temperature gradient with a threshold value generated by a threshold value generator. When the threshold value is exceeded, a warning signal generator triggers a warning signal. This warning signal can be an acoustical or optical signal. In addition or alternatively, the warning signal can activate a protective measure arrangement.

Abstract: In a plasma display panel (PDP) a method for prolonging useful life thereof
comprises the steps of performing an experiment on red, green, and blue phosphor
layers each coated on a corresponding discharge cell for calculating a gain per gray
scale on the phosphor layer of each discharge cell and obtaining expressions to
represent relationship with respect to the use time of each discharge cell, thereby
establishing a comparison table with respect to the gains; enabling a control circuit of
PDP to select one of the gains from the comparison table based on use time for
dynamically adjusting strength of input video signal of each discharge cell; and
compensating a reduced brightness per gray scale on the phosphor layer of each
discharge cell due to increase of the use time by each of emitted red, green and blue
lights. This compensates the reduced emissivity and eliminates adverse effects such
as shortening of life, color temperature change, and color deviation caused by the
reduced emissivity. As a result, an image having an optimum color purity and color
temperature is rendered and accordingly the useful life of PDP is improved.

surface, and an ink supply member being in contact with
the base plate at a contact portion, having the ink
flow path wall face to be communicated with the ink
passage. For this recording head, the base plate and
the ink supply member pinch the substrate and the
ceiling plate at the contact portion as a fulcrum so as
to enable the base plate to press the substrate from
the side opposite to the element surface, and the ink
supply member to press the ceiling plate from the side
opposite from the grooved surface. Thus, the member
that enables the ceiling plate and the substrate to be
closely in contact, and the member for supplying ink
are arranged to be commonly functional as an ink supply
member to make it possible to omit the provision of any
spring member to be used only for keeping the close
contact of the ceiling plate and the substrate, thus
curtailing the number of parts.
