Abstract: The present invention includes a body implantable lead having a multi-polar proximal connector, at least a first conductor coupled to at least one stimulating electrode, a sensor (22) for sensing at least one physiologic parameter of the body, and a second (154) and a third conductor (156) coupled to the sensor (22). The sensor is hermetically sealed in a D-shaped housing (68). Sensor components are mounted onto a microelectronic substrate (138) which is advantageously placed on an inner flat portion of the D-shaped housing (68). End caps (100,100') having glass frit sealing rings (103,103') are used to seal the ends of the shell. A hermetic seal is easily achieved by heating the glass frit such that the glass frit re-flows between the end caps (100,100') and the shell (68). Advantageously, the sensor terminals are sized to fit snugly within a narrow bore (106,106') of the end cap (100,100') which is then welded closed. The D-shaped sensor is placed on a carrier having at least two lumens. At least the first and second conductors (154,156) pass through the lumens for connection with the stimulating electrode and the distal end of the sensor. Advantageously, the D-shaped housing (68) reduces the area that needs to be hermetically sealed by more than half, and thus reduces the overall diameter of the lead. Advantageously, the conductors coupled to the sensor function independently from the stimulation conductors so that interference with basic operation of the pacemaker is prevented.

Abstract: A high-efficiency, enhanced, generator-absorber heat exchange (EnGAX) cycle, particularly useful in gas-fired, air-cooled absorption heat pumps, increases the heat output of the absorber in the temperature overlap range with the generator to equal the heat usable by the generator. This is accomplished by establishing a solution pathway (61) from a portion of the absorber (16) in the temperature overlap region to a portion of the generator (22) in order to increase solution flow in the high temperature regions of the absorber and generator. Further improvements in cycle efficiency are obtainable by increasing the operating pressure of the absorber by means of a vapor compressor 80.

Abstract: A recording/reproducing method comprises the steps of helically scanning a first region (30) of a magnetic tape running at a normal speed using a plurality of rotary heads, recording a digital data train on a plurality of sloped tracks and simultaneously recording single-frame data at N-picture intervals on a second region (32) of the magnetic tape through at least one fixed head, and reproducing the data recorded on the first region during a normal reproduction, while the magnetic tape runs at an N-times speed for variable speed reproduction to reproduce the data recorded on the second region. In a digital VTR, the recording data for the normal recording/reproduction and special recording/reproduction is separately recorded and reproduced on mutually different regions of the magnetic tape. Accordingly, since the processing of the normal recording/reproduction signal is independent from that of the special recording/reproduction signal, the normal-processing design is facilitated due to a greater degree of freedom. Also, an apparatus is adapted to perform the method.

Abstract: A percutaneous intravenous oxygenator (110) includes a plurality of hollow gas permeable fibers (116) formed into a plurality of loops with one end (114) of the fiber loops being connected to a source of oxygen while the opposite end is connected to a vacuum source. The oxygenator (110) is insertable into a blood vessel such that when oxygen is drawn into the fiber loops, it will diffuse through the walls of the fibers into oxygen deficient blood passing thereby while excess carbon dioxide in the blood will pass in a reverse or cross diffusion pattern through the walls of the fibers (116) into the interior thereof for removal from the fiber loops by the vacuum source. Two separate embodiments for moving the fibers (116) to prevent streaming of blood past the oxygenator are disclosed for optimal cross diffusion of the gases. In one embodiment, a rotatable blade (132) is disclosed within the looped fibers (116) so as to disrupt the linear flow of blood and direct it radially outwardly in convective swirling fashion to keep the fibers (116) moving and optimally disposed for maximum gas diffusion. In the second embodiment, an electromagnet is disclosed within the loops of fibers and the fibers themselves carry a paramagnetic material so that the fibers can be selectively attracted to the rod or actively or passively repelled from the rod again to keep the fibers in motion to prevent streaming of the blood and to optimize the cross transfusion of gases.

Abstract: An interactive video system employs Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) video compression to transfer images from a remote server to a television. The images correspond to dialog frames in a graphical user interface. During an authoring process, the dialog frames are created by first creating a background image and then adding foreground elements, such as buttons. A set of MPEG video frames is created by encoding the resulting images according to the MPEG algorithm. The MPEG video frames are delivered to the television in sequence, where an MPEG decoder uses them to reconstruct the dialog images that are subsequently displayed. The system also contains an object-oriented database that maintains the necessary MPEG file ordering and also carries out menu navigation commands received from the user. The object classes include NODE, BRANCH, and DISPLAY. NODE objects correspond to dialog frames, and BRANCH objects correspond to user-selectable features such as buttons. DISPLAY objects correspond to either complete or partial images, as described in corresponding MPEG files. Data and function elements within the objects allow the system to track the user's navigation commands, and to highlight and unhighlight selectable features as navigation proceeds in order to provide visual feedback to the user.
