Title: Catheter multi-lumiere et structures de bouts destines a un tels catheter
Inventor: DIFIORE ATTILIO
IPC: A61M1/14

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un cathéter multi-lumière amélioré possédant des structures de bouts permettant l'injection et l'extraction simultanées de liquides. Ce cathéter multi-lumière est une structure cylindrique creuse composée de préférence de polyuréthanne. Il comprend un cathéter externe, généralement utilisé pour l'extraction de liquide d'un patient, et un cathéter interne, généralement utilisé pour l'injection de fluides à un patient. Le cathéter interne est disposé à l'intérieur du cathéter externe, sur toute sa longueur et est divisé par une cloison aux fins de la création de deux lumières parallèles. La forme de chaque lumière dépend de la forme de la cloison. Par exemple, si le cathéter interne est divisé en deux, les deux lumières résultantes présentent la forme d'un D. Le cathéter interne est attaché soit par l'extrémité distale effilée du cathéter externe, soit par un lien conçu pour fixer le cathéter interne au cathéter externe. Dans une réalisation préférée, le cathéter interne se prolonge au-delà de l'extrémité distale du cathéter externe de manière à permettre une meilleure séparation entre le fluide d'entrée et le fluide de sortie. Les bouts de cathéter peuvent être biseautés, incurvés, inclinés ou modifiés de toute autre manière afin de réduire le risque d'occlusion. En outre, des ouvertures latérales peuvent être ménagées soit dans le cathéter externe, soit dans le cathéter interne, ou dans les deux, afin d'accroître la fiabilité de l'écoulement sanguin au cas où l'une des lumières subisse une occlusion. Ce cathéter multi-lumière peut également être pourvu d'une gaine protectrice permettant de conserver un environnement stérile.

Abstract: Fluid diffusion layers with favorable mechanical and electrical properties are prepared for fuel cell electrodes by impregnating a porous carbonaceous web with a carbonizable polymer having pyrrolidone functionality and then carbonizing the pyrrolidone polymer. The polymer having pyrrolidone functionality is stabilized against vaporization by use of an oxidization step prior to carbonization. The fluid diffusion layers are particularly suitable for use as gas diffusion layers in solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells.

Abstract: The invention is directed to medical devices having a drug-releasing coating and methods for making such coated devices. The coating permits timed or prolonged pharmacological activity on the surface of medical devices through a reservoir concept. Specifically, the coating comprises at least two layers: an outer layer containing at least one drug-ionic surfactant complex overlying a reservoir layer containing a polymer and the drug which is substantially free of an ionic surfactant. Upon exposure to body tissue of a medical device covered with such coating, the ionically bound drug in the outer layer is released into body fluid or tissue. Following release of such bound drug, the ionic surfactant binding sites in the outer layer are left vacant. To maintain the pharmacological activity after delivery of the ionically bound drug, additional amounts of the drug are embedded or incorporated in the reservoir layer in a manner which allows the drug, which is substantially free of ionic surfactants, to complex with the vacant binding sites of the ionic surfactant of the outer layer. As a result, the surface of the medical device is enriched with the drug to provide sustained pharmacological activity to prevent the adverse reaction due to the presence of the medical device. The invention is further directed to medical devices with stabilized drug-releasing coatings. The coatings are stabilized by exposure to a low energy, relatively non-penetrating energy source, e.g., gas plasma or an electron beam energy source.

Abstract: Network-enabled devices are configured to report changes of state to a monitoring system. The monitoring system is configured to filter each change of state to determine whether the change of state constitutes a reportable event, based on a profile associated with the device. If the event is reportable, it is communicated to one or more other network-enabled devices. Each device is also configured to periodically verify its presence to the monitoring system, and the unexplained absence of the device is treated as a change of state of state of the device. In like manner, a change to the profile of a device is also treated as a change of state of the device.

Abstract: A polymer-based flexible structure with integrated sensing/actuator means is presented. Conventionally, silicon has been used as a piezo-resistive material due to its high gauge factor and thereby high sensitivity to strain changes in a sensor. By using the fact that e.g. an SU-8 polymer is much softer than silicon and that e.g. a gold resistor is easily incorporated in SU-8 polymer structure it has been demonstrated that a SU-8 based cantilever sensor is almost as sensitive to stress changes as the silicon piezo-resistive cantilever.

Abstract: An NIR spectroscopy fluid analyzing system using a series of LED's, each having its own preselected center wavelength, as illumination sources. These wavelengths have overlapping spectral widths, such that the measurement covers a broad spectrum. The LED's illuminate the fluid sample sequentially, and subsequently the transmission absorbance through the sample and the reflectance or scattering from the sample is measured for the wavelength range of each LED. The measurements are performed using photodetectors. The concentrations of component parts of the fluid are expressed in the form of a polynomial, which is a function of the measured transmitted and/or reflected intensities, and of empirical coefficients, which are extracted by prior statistical analysis on measured intensities obtained from a large number of test samples having known concentrations of the component. A novel sample chamber, capable of performing optical absorption measurements on a flowing sample of fluid, is described.
