Title: Ventricular assist system secondary impeller
Inventor: HORVATH DAVID
IPC: F04D29/22
Filed: 2001-03-19
Abstract: In a centrifugal flow blood pump, usable in left ventricular assist applications, blood is pumped from an inlet ( 16 ) to an outlet ( 22 ) by a primary impeller ( 18 ). A portion of the blood that enters the pump follows a secondary channel ( 24 ) where a secondary impeller ( 70 ) routes the blood to lubricate a bearing between an impeller assembly ( 14 ) and a post formed by a component of the pump housing. The unique shape of the secondary impeller ( 70 ) prevents blood stagnation and provides for a well-washed fluid bearing.

Patent EP-1314194-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHOPRA DINESH
IPC: B24B37/04
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé permettant de polir presque simultanément une structure conductrice de cuivre et une couche barrière contiguë.  Ledit procédé recourt à un tampon à polir à abrasif fixé et a une barbotine sensiblement exempte d'abrasif, ce qui permet d'éroder le cuivre à une vitesse sensiblement égale ou supérieure à celle du tungstène de la couche barrière. La formule de la barbotine permet d'oxyder le cuivre à une vitesse sensiblement égale ou supérieure à celle du matériau de la couche barrière. Ainsi l'énergie d'oxydation de la barbotine pour le cuivre est sensiblement identique à celle pour le matériau de la couche barrière qui peut néanmoins être plus élevée. L'invention porte également sur des procédés permettant de polir presque simultanément des structures conductrices de cuivre et la couche barrière contiguë, formées sur des structures de dispositifs semi-conducteurs.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une sonde médicale présentant un diamètre inférieur ou égal à 3 French et utilisant un matériau isolant sensiblement plus rigide que celui utilisé normalement dans le contexte d'une sonde de stimulation cardiaque implantable de façon permanente. Cette sonde utilise un matériau dont le module de Young est d'au moins 25'000 livres par pouce carré, tel que du Pellethane 2363-75D, ou un polymère encore plus rigide, pour fournir un corps de sonde ne produisant pas un effet de fouet, comme ce serait le cas en réponse à un battement du coeur. Afin d'éviter que la rigidité du corps de la sonde n'augmente les possibilités de perforation du tissu cardiaque par l'extrémité distale de la sonde, la surface distale de cette dernière n'est pas de dimension réduite. Cette surface permet de réduire la pression exercée par l'extrémité distale de la sonde sur le tissu corporel à 3,6 livres par pouce carré au plus.

Abstract: A control apparatus calculates a exhaust gas air-fuel ratio of a plurality of cylinders,
in which the operation angle of an intake valve (2) is set to a predetermined operation angle,
e.g., a maximum operation angle, based on a value output from an air-fuel ratio sensor so as
to minimize a variation in an fuel injection quantity between the plurality of cylinders by that
exhaust gas air-fuel ratio. That is, the exhaust gas air-fuel ratio of the plurality of cylinders,
in which the valve opening characteristics of the intake valve (2) and an exhaust valve (3) are
set such that the intake air amount to be introduced into the plurality of cylinders is limited by
the opening amount of a throttle valve (56), for example, and not limited by the valve
opening characteristics of the intake valve (2) or the exhaust valve (3) is calculated, and the
variation in the fuel injection quantity among the plurality of cylinders is then reduced by that
exhaust gas air-fuel ratio. Then, the variation in valve opening characteristics among the
cylinders is reduced.

The wireless transmission frame includes a broadcast period, a downlink period, an
uplink period, an acknowledgement period and a contention period so as to perform
a wireless data communication between a network access toll center (10) and a plurality
of stations (12,14,16). The acknowledgement period is a period in which a plurality of stations (12,14,16)
send an acknowledgement signal confirming safe receipt of data transmitted from
the network access toll center (10) to the network access toll center (10). Through the
acknowledgement period, a network access toll center (10) can send data to each station (12,14,16)
and check whether the data is completely transmitted to each station (12,14,16) in the same
frame, thereby effectively performing real-time data service. Also, the allocation of
a plurality of subcarrier channels to each station minimizes the resending of data
because receipt of data is confirmed when at least one of the allocated subcarrier
channels is completely transmitted from each station, even if the most part of the
subcarrier channels are lost in a wireless interface.
