Abstract: An aortic cannula tip for reintroducing blood into the blood stream via the aorta. The tip creates a soft flame-shaped flow pattern that reduces the chances of dislodging atheromatous or adherent thromba from the inside surfaces of the aorta. A gentle tapered shape allows the tip to penetrate a small incision made in the aorta without causing undo trauma or risk of tearing. The tip includes a circumferential ridge that allows the tip to be rotated and/or pivoted while in the aorta without breaking a seal formed between the ridge and the aortal wall. A secondary port provides access to a second lumen useable to deploy an intraaortic filtration system.

Abstract: The invention includes a family of miniaturized, hermetic electrical feedthrough assemblies adapted for implantation within a biological system. An electrical feedthrough assembly according to the invention can be used as a component of an implantable medical device such as an implantable pulse generator, cardioverter-defibrillator, physiologic sensor, drug-delivery system and the like. Such assemblies require biocompatibility and resistance to degradation under applied bias current or voltage. Such an assembly is fabricated by interconnected electrical pathways, or vias, of a conductive metallic paste disposed between ceramic green-state material. The layers are stacked together and sintered to form a substantially monolithic dielectric structure with at least one embedded metallization pathway extending through the structure. The metallization pathway reliably conducts electrical signals even when exposed to body fluids and tissue and providing reliable electrical communication. After sintering the structure is hermetically diffusion bonded to a part of a ferrule and/or adjacent support member.

Abstract: The method involves measuring rolling distance of a wheel from moving distance of slide plates (4a, 4b). An effective rolling radius of the wheel is determined by the determination of a wheel center point from a camera image data. An angle of rotation of the wheel is determined. A track and an overturn of the wheel are determined with the measurement of the rolling distance such that a strip pattern is produced on the wheel by a beamer. A change of position produced during the wheel rotation is detected by a camera and is evaluated by a computer. An independent claim is also included for a device for executing a method for compensating wheel runout in an axis alignment of a motor vehicle by the rotation of a wheel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the locations of at least two impacts F 1  and F 2  on a surface using one or more sensors S i , i = 1 to n, with n being the number of sensors, said impacts F 1  and F 2  generating a signal being sensed by the one or more sensors, wherein each sensor provides a sensed signal s i (t), i = 1 to n, with n being the number of sensors. To be able to determine simultaneous impacts of different amplitudes the method comprises the steps of: identifying the location x of one impact, and 
determining a modified sensed signal s i  ' (t) for each sensor in which the contribution due to the identified impact is reduced and which is based on a comparison, in particular a correlation, of each of the sensed signals s i (t) and a predetermined reference signal r ij (t) corresponding to a reference impact R j  at location j. The invention also relates to methods based on couples of sensed signals and to a device carrying out the inventive methods.
