Patent EP-1016465-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ARIOKA HIROYUKI
IPC: B05C11/08
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: A spin coating method and apparatus for
forming a thin film having a uniform film
thickness on a substrate at a low cost in a
production process of semiconductors, optical
disks, etc. A coating solution is dripped from a
discharge nozzle (4) onto the surface of a
substrate (2) to be coated, which is placed on a
horizontal turn table (3), and a thin film is
formed by turning the substrate. After the
coating solution is dripped from the nozzle, the
distal end portion (4a) of the nozzle on stand-by
is immersed into a nozzle immersing
solution (10) having a composition
approximate, or equal, to the composition of
the coating solution and held in this solution.
Consequently, crystal deposition of the solute
can be suppressed, and this method is
particularly useful for applying a solution
containing a solute having high crystallinity.

Filed: 1999-07-20
Abstract: There is disclosed a device for the protection of objects or body parts against vibrations, in particular a vibration-damping glove or antivibration glove, including at least one vibration-damping layer. In order to realize such a device, which causes noticeable damping of vibrations even in the low-frequency range of vibrations (31.5 to 200 Hz) and, in addition, remains maneuverable to the largest extent possible, at least one vibration-damping layer, on its surface facing away from the object or body part to be protected, includes indents for decoupling movements in at least one direction in the plane of that surface. The indents, on the one hand, cause the vibrations oriented in the plane of the surface to be deflected into the interior of the layer, thereby enhancing the vibration-damping effect, in particular in the low-frequency range. On the other hand, a high degree of movability of the vibration-damping layer, and hence of the overall device, is ensured by the indents.

Abstract: A medical retrieval device 10 is disclosed comprising an elongated cylindrical member 11 that includes a continuum of a material 40, preferably a metal such as stainless steel or nitinol, that forms both the resilient grasping members 13 of retrieval basket 54, snare 26, or grasper forceps 23, and the proximal portion 21 or shaft of the device. The elongated cylindrical member can include a metal cannula 60 or solid rod 62 into which a series of laterally adjacent longitudinal slots 15 are cut or formed in the distal portion 37 of the elongated cylindrical member to form a plurality of resilient grasping members. These slots may be cut in a spiral configuration to produce a helical basket 69. The resilient grasping members in the original compact shape 17 are formed into an enlarged shape 18 to create a workspace volume 28 for the capture, manipulation and/or retrieval of an object within a patient. An external constraining device 14, such as an outer sheath, is used for introducing of the device and to compress the resilient grasping members over a calculus 24 or other object into a substantially closed position 30. An internal actuating member 29 within the passage 12 of the elongated cylindrical member can provide an alternative method of opening and closing the retrieval device. Using a small thin-walled cannula, retrieval devices of the present invention can fit through the accessory channel 46 of a small endoscope, such as an ureteroscope 44 while still having a sufficient lumen size to accommodate an ancillary treatment device 25 such as a standard 200 micron laser fiber or lithotripsy wire. The present invention also includes a retrieval device made from a plastic tube 32 having encased reinforcement wires 31. By removing all material 66 except the reinforcement wires from the distal portion of the elongated cylindrical member, the exposed wires can become the resilient grasping members of a basket or forceps.
