Abstract: A device/system and method for the delivery of light to the nasopharyngeal cavity in a controlled and reproducible mariner using at least one optical fiber having a linear diffusing tip, a spherical diffusing tip, or a bare cut end is disclosed. A positioning device may have one or two flexible guide tubes that are attached to a preformed shaped base that is introduced into the nasopharyngeal cavity to guide and position the optical fibers and/or detector(s). The optical fibers are enclosed within shielding tubes which are inserted into the guide tubes. The optical fibers may be further moved within the shielding tube so as to adjust the amount of output light. Also included within the guide tube is a light detector that monitors, detects, and measures the delivery of fluence rates to pre-determined locations in the nasopharyngeal cavity. The detector may also be enclosed within a separate tube within the guide tube. The inventive device/system also has a means of shielding pre-selected areas of the nasopharyngeal cavity or adjacent tissues from the light delivered by the optical fibers. The system of the present invention uses a control unit and preselected treatment parameters to monitor, regulate, and display laser output and fluence rates at preselected locations in the nasopharyngeal cavity during PDT treatment.

Abstract: A system (1) for producing a dough starter culture is provided which comprises a plurality of reservoirs (15) pre-loaded with a small amount ("mother level") of a previously obtained starter culture. Into the reservoirs (15) are inoculated the other ingredients required for the preparation of starter culture and the contents are left to ferment for a specified period of time to produce the required starter culture, which is then discharged as required from each reservoir (15). A "mother level" portion is retained in the reservoirs and is used to produce a next batch of starter culture. The system (1) operates automatically and is programmable so that a first pre-set interval of time which is less then the fermentation time is allowed to elapse from the start of fermentation in a first reservoir (15) before the ingredients are delivered into a succeeding reservoir (15), and a second pre-set interval of time is allowed to elapse after the starter culture is discharged from the first reservoir (15) before a next batch of the ingredients is delivered into the first reservoir (15).

Title: Intravascular deliverable stent for reinforcement of vascular abnormalities
Inventor: AMPLATZ KURT
IPC: A61F2/90
Filed: 2007-10-24
Granted: 2010-03-30
Abstract: A catheter deliverable stent/graft especially designed to be used in a minimally invasive surgical procedure for treating a variety of vascular conditions such as aneurysms, stenotic lesions and saphenous vein grafts, comprises an innermost tubular structure and at least one further tubular member in coaxial arrangement. In one embodiment, the innermost tubular structure is of a length (L1) and is formed by braiding a relatively few strands of highly elastic metallic alloy. The pick and pitch of the braid are such as to provide relative large fenestrations in the tubular wall that permit blood flow through the wall and provide the primary radial support structure. A portion of the innermost tubular structure of a length L1 is surrounded by a further braided tubular structure having relatively many strands that substantially inhibit blood flow through the fenestrations of the innermost tubular structure. The composite structure can be stretched to reduce the outer diameter of the stent/graft, allowing it to be drawn into a lumen of a delivery catheter. The catheter can then be advanced through the vascular system to the site of treatment and then released, allowing it to self-expand against the vessel wall. Various optional embodiments are disclosed that allow one skilled in the art to tailor the design to the specific application.

Title: Auto latch for window sash
Inventor: CHUNG STANLEY
IPC: E05C1/10
Filed: 2008-01-14
Granted: 2013-09-24
Abstract: A latch for a window sash includes a fixed plate and a latch head slidably coupled to the fixed plate. The latch head is symmetrically spring loaded to minimize rotation when the latch head translates. When the latch head retracts toward the fixed plates, hooks from the latch head engage notches on the fixed plate to lock the latch head in a retracted position. This releases the latch head from a strike so the window sash can be opened. The latch further includes a plunger centrally received in the fixed plate and the latch head. When the plunger retracts toward the fixed plate, sloped shoulders from the plunger disengages the hooks of the latch head from the notches on the fixed plate. This releases the latch head to engage the strike so the window sash is locked.
