IPC: A61N1/378

Abstract: An improved arbitration scheme for allowing concurrent stimulation and telemetry listening in a microstimulator is disclosed. A listening window for telemetry is permitted to proceed, and access to the microstimulator' s coil granted, during at least a portion of the inter-pulse period that follows the issuance of a stimulation pulse. This is permissible because access to the coil is not needed during the entirety of the inter-pulse period. For example, the listening window can issue during that portion of the inter-pulse period when the decoupling capacitor is discharged, but cannot issue during that portion of the inter-pulse period when the compliance voltage is being generated for the next stimulation pulse. However, because compliance voltage generation occupies only a small portion of the inter-pulse period, the technique is not substantially limited. By allowing the listening window to issue during the majority of the inter-pulse period, the listening window produces smaller gaps between the pulses, and stimulation therapy is thus brought closer to its ideal.

Title: Method and device for equalizing the heat transfer of a cast product
Inventor: BAUSCH JOERG
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 2008-08-01
Abstract: In the casting close-to-the final dimension of rectangular strands made of metal and the subsequent further processing thereof into metal strips according to the DSC method (direct strip casting) in a horizontal continuous casting installation the cast product (4) is deformed during the solidification thereof into the preliminary strip (5) due to uneven heat dissipation because the top of the strip is cooled only by convection of ambient air and by heat radiation, while the bottom of said strip is in direct contact with a cooled metal conveyor belt (7).  In this manner, the initially complete contact between the cast product (4) and the metal conveyor belt (7) is lost and the strip edges of the cast product arch upwards. In order to ensure in a simple manner maximum contact of the cast product (4) with the metal conveyor belt (7), thus optimizing and equalizing the heat transfer of ht cast product (4) to the metal conveyor belt (7) across the entire casting width, the invention proposes that pressure be applied from above to the cast produce (4) solidifying into the preliminary strip (5), preferably to the strip edges (6) thereof by means of a pressure device (11) disposed at the end of the metal conveyor belt (7) and, in order to compensate for the suddenly reduced cooling of the bottom of the preliminary strip upon leaving the metal conveyor belt (7), that the bottom of the preliminary strip be additionally cooled in a predetermined area directly behind the metal conveyor belt (7).

Title: Method, system and software for displaying medical images
Inventor: WATT JAMES HAMILTON
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2008-09-22
Abstract: In a system for displaying medical images, a first linear array of medical images representing multiple views of a patient taken approximately contemporaneously may be displayed. The images may automatically be ordered within the array based on the represented views. A second linear array of medical images adjacent to the first linear array may contemporaneously be displayed. The images of the second linear array may represent the same views of the patient as in the first linear array taken approximately contemporaneously but at an earlier time from the images of the first linear array. Like views of the patient may be aligned as between the first linear array and the second linear array. Correlation of features between images may thus be facilitated. Alternatively, one or more principal views and one or more non-principal views of a patient in a set of medical images may be identified. Each principal view may automatically be displayed in a particular size on a separate display of an array of displays, while each non-principal view may automatically be displayed on the remaining display or displays of the array in a smaller size.

Abstract: A wave energy converter (1) includes a buoy (3) and a transmission unit (2).  In the transmission unit there is a driveshaft (11), which is driven to rotate either when the buoy rises or sinks, yet always in the same direction. The driveshaft is mechanically coupled to one of the rotating parts (21) of an electric generator (21) and drives this to generate electric current.  Further on there is an energy accumulation device (105), which is also coupled to the driveshaft to accumulate energy when the buoy rises or sinks and the driveshaft rotates and which is then used to drive the generator at the other of the rising- and sinking motions. The coupling between the energy accumulation device and the driveshaft can go by the generator's second rotatable part (21'), the air gap between the generator's parts and the generator's first part. The coupling over the air gap gives a torque, which drives the second part to rotate along and which also counteracts the rotation of the driveshaft. The generator's second part is driven by the energy accumulation device to rotate in the other direction, when the torque from the driveshaft does not exceed the counteracting torque.
