Abstract: Systems and methods ablate body tissue using an electrode for contacting tissue at a tissue-electrode interface to transmit ablation energy at a determinable power level. The systems and methods include an element to remove heat from the electrode at a determinable rate. The systems and methods employ a processing element to derive a prediction of the maximum tissue temperature condition occurring beneath the tissue-electrode interface. The processing element controls the power level of ablation energy transmitted by the electrode, or the rate at which the electrode is cooled, or both, based, at least in part, upon the maximum tissue temperature prediction.

Date Jun. 19, 1997In known embodiments, media are fed in a contact-free manner in propeller pumps by single-thread twin feed screws which are guided via pilot gears, the twin feed screws having the same transverse profile with a core circle, tip circle, an involute flank and a hollow flank, enabling the pump chamber to be divided into axially staggered cells and this obtain high pressure differences in one stage. In addition to dynamics, efficiency and production, the control of the medium is also determined by the contour of the end profile, the variation of which improves all the dependent variables. According to the invention, the involute is replaced by a curve which does not rise constantly and has a central saddle region and a smooth connection to the core circle. The variations in the end face achieved thereby improve the dynamics and volumetric efficiency and extend the possibilities for controlling medium at the end face. The detailed adaption to the new curve together with the smooth connection at the base point enable the core and flanks to be produced jointly by a single tool. Feed screws with profiles of this type are suitable for flow rates of between 100 and 1000 m3/h and ultimate pressure of <0.05 mbar at speeds of rotation of approximately 3000 min-1 and approximately 50% efficiency.

Abstract: In an injection molding machine for a thermoplastic
resin, a mold clamping hydraulic circuit is constituted as a
hydraulic circuit which can be optionally set to a pressure-free
or substantially pressure-free state upon completion of
closure of a mold mounted to a clamping unit, a movable mold
of the clamping unit can be retracted by a low injection
pressure by injecting the molten resin by an injection unit,
a nozzle port opening to a space of a mold cavity is closed
simultaneously with completion for the charge of
predetermined amount of resin, and a mold clamping force at
a high pressure is generated on the forwarding side of the
mold clamping unit thereby proceeding mold clamping to a
predetermined position. 
     Accordingly, since the mold is in a pressure-free or
substantially pressure-free state, the injection pressure
may also be low. Accordingly, an injection amount of resin
for one shot can be increased by several times of amount
without increasing the pressure of hydraulic cylinder of an
injection unit and, further, molded articles several times
as great as in the size can be molded without increasing the
mold clamping force of the clamping unit.
