Title: Method and system for photoselective vaporization for gynecological treatments
Inventor: NAHEN KESTER
IPC: A61B18/22
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A method for photoselective vaporization of uterine tissue includes delivering laser radiation to the treatment area on the tissue, via an optical fiber for example, wherein the laser radiation has a wavelength and irradiance in the treatment area on the surface of the tissue sufficient because vaporization of a substantially greater volume of tissue than a volume of residual coagulated tissue caused by the laser radiation. The laser radiation is generated using a neodymium doped solid-state laser, including optics producing a second or higher harmonic output with greater than 60 watts average output power. The delivered laser radiation has a wavelength for example in a range of about 200 nm to about 650 nm, and has an average irradiance in the treatment area greater than about 10 kilowatts/cm<SUP>2</SUP>, in a spot size of at least 0.05 mm<SUP>2</SUP>.
Patent AU-2003226485-A1 (AU)
Title: Corner protectors
Inventor: DURRANT SAM
IPC: B65D81/05
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: A corner protector has a pair of opposite frame embracing faces which are resilient and bowed so that, in use, the corner region of a frame to be protected must force its way into position on between the opposite faces of the protector and will thereafter be frictionally gripped between them until the protector is subsequently released by pulling it off against the frictional resistance. Frame-gripping ribs may be incorporated on the major faces of the protector and in addition the protector may be tapered outwardly from its apex to its open mouth to provide a lead for insertion of the frame. To provide a still greater lead, the open edges of the protector may each be given a slight flange extension, but at opposite ends of the two edges.

Title: Floor treatment system
Inventor: DIEHL RALPH
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a floor treatment system with a self-propelled and self-steering floor treatment unit, which comprises an electrically driven floor treatment assembly and also a rechargeable power supply unit and an electrical control system, and with a central charging station for recharging the power supply unit, the charging station having a transmitting device for emitting an infrared target radiation, and it being possible for the target radiation to be sensed in a directionally dependent manner by a receiving device of the floor treatment unit for the automatic alignment and positioning of the floor treatment unit at the charging station. In order to develop the floor treatment system in such a way that the floor treatment unit can reliably steer toward the central charging station, it is proposed according to the invention that the transmitting device has a first transmitting unit for the formation of a far field of the target radiation and a second transmitting unit for the formation of a near field of the target radiation, the near field extending over a wider and shorter area from the charging station than the far field.

Title: Method and device for stacking sheet material
Inventor: LEUTHOLD KARL-HEINZ
IPC: B65H31/32
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: A spiral slot stacker has a two-part stripper 2 for stripping out sheet material from a stacker wheel 1 . The two parts 2 a , 2 b of the stripper are movable. A first part 2 a of the stripper is moved out of the stacker wheel together with the last bank note 100 to be stacked in such a way, that only the last bank note is stripped out and the next bank note 101 remains in the stacker wheel. The second part 2 b of the stripper at this stage rotates along with the stacker wheel and will not be locked in the strip-out position until the spiral slot stacker is prepared for stacking a next bank-note stack. The bank notes, in the meanwhile supplied to the stacker wheel, are stripped out from the stacker wheel by the second part 2 b of the stripper, while the first part 2 a of the stripper is moved back to the strip-out position. By this method a collision of the first part of the stripper with the bank notes located in the stacker wheel is prevented.

Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for assessing the condition of tissue, in particular to diagnose the location and stage of diseases such as emphysema. In one device or method according to the invention, sound is introduced into lung tissue. A portion of the sound is detected after it has passed through a portion of the lung. A sound-propagation parameter is determined by comparing a property of the introduced sound and a property of the detected sound. A region of examination of the tissue is identified, based in part on either a property of the component that introduces the sound or a property of the component that detects the sound. The condition of the tissue is assessed in the region of examination, based in part on the sound-propagation parameter.

Abstract: The invention provides a backpack (10) and cooperating waist bag (100) carrying system. In one embodiment the backpack has a lower or lumbar region below the bag portion of the backpack that releasably contains the receiver of the waist bag when the belt of the waist bag is secured around the bearer's waist and the backpack is worn on the bearer's back. The receiver of the waist bag can be moved without having to take off the backpack so that the receiver of the waist bag is disposed to the bearer's front and the bearer can gain access to the contents of the receiver. The bearer can then move the receiver back to the lower region of the backpack and the combination of the backpack and the waist bag then will appear to be a normal backpack with a waist belt. While moving the receiver, the waist bag remains operatively connected to the backpack.
