Title: Traitement de maladies cardiaques et dispositif associe
Inventor: COX JAMES E
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de traiter des maladies cardiaques. Ce dispositif présente une partie supérieure et une partie inférieure divisées par une rainure A-V et comprend une enveloppe conçue pour être fixée au coeur, ainsi qu'un matériau non adhérant associé à l'enveloppe. L'enveloppe est conçue dans un matériau souple définissant un volume entre des extrémités supérieure et inférieure, l'enveloppe étant conçue pour être adaptée sur le coeur de manière à épouser les contours de la géométrie extérieure du coeur et assurer un volume ajusté maximum pour que l'enveloppe limite l'expansion du coeur au delà du volume ajusté maximum pendant la diastole et pour permettre la contraction non entravée du coeur pendant la systole. L'enveloppe permet un remplissage diastolique non entravé du coeur étant donné qu'elle est conçue dans un matériau souple. L'invention concerne également une méthode de traitement des maladies cardiaques, notamment l'accès chirurgical du coeur, l'application du dispositif de traitement selon l'invention, la fixation du dispositif de traitement au coeur et la fermeture chirurgicale de l'accès au coeur, tout en conservant le dispositif de traitement sur le coeur.

Abstract: A modified alkali silicate composition for forming an inorganic network is made by reacting an alkali silicate (or precursors such as an alkali hydroxide, a SiO2 source and water), an acidic oxoanionic compound such as phosphoric acid, water and optionally one or more multivalent cation(s) selected from Groups 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 of the periodic table such as an alkaline earth salt, water and optional processing aids. A composite can be prepared by applying the modified aqueous alkali silicate composition to a reinforcing medium and curing the composite at a temperature from 15°C up to 1000°C and a pressure of up to 20,000 psi (137.895 MPa). Composite and neat resin components prepared from the invention can exhibit excellent dimensional stability to 1000°C and higher, and can be prepared at temperatures and pressures typical for organic polymer processing. The composite can be shaped by compression molding as well as other known fabrication methods.

IPC: C22B3/08

Abstract: The specification describes a process for producing
synthetic rutile from a titaniferous ore or concentrate.
The process involves three basic steps which are reduction,
removal of iron by leaching or aeration and removal of
other impurities by leaching in a solution of a strong
mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid.
The conditions of reduction are controlled to promote the
formation of metallic iron, a major rutile phase and a
minor impurity-bearing phase. The minor impurity-bearing
phase may be a metatinatate, an anosovite or a
pseudobrookite. However, formation of a metatinatate is
normally preferred. Suitable reductants include
carbonaceous materials or hydrogen bearing gases such as
natural gas or synthetic gas. The process is capable of
removing more than 80% of each of the contained iron,
magnesium and manganese remaining as oxides after
reduction. Substantial proportions of contained aluminium
can also be removed.

Abstract: A coating layer (10a), which has the property
of releasing a coated liquid (14), is formed on the outer
peripheral surface of a cylindrical rod (10). The rod

Abstract: A reflector for a reflection-type LCD device is provided,
which reflects efficiently incident light to the viewer's side and
that suppresses the change of color tone. The reflector comprises
a roughened surface having a protrusion pattern. The protrusion
pattern gives inclination angle to the surface according to a
specific distribution where a first component with an inclination
angle value of 0° is 15% or less in area and a second component with
an inclination angle value from 2° to 10° is 50% or greater in area.
The protrusion pattern gives a variation range of chromaticity
coordinates (x, y) on a chromaticity diagram dependent on an angle
of view. The variation range is limited in a circle on the
chromaticity diagram. The circle has a radius of approximately
0.05 and a center at a point corresponding to white color.

Abstract: A self-regenerating, self-cleaning hydrophobic surface is formed when particles are secured on a carrier that is itself a mixture of particles and binder. When particles on the surface are ablated by erosion, new particles in the carrier are exposed to regenerate the self-cleaning surface, resulting in a long-lasting self-cleaning action. The self-cleaning surface may be used with particular advantage outdoors, e.g. on vehicles, where self-cleaning materials are particularly exposed to the effects of the environment.

Abstract: A plurality of thin film piezoelectric elements 8 are formed on one
surface of element forming substrate 7, and element holding layer 20 made up
of resin is formed over the one surface of the element forming substrate 7
including these thin film piezoelectric elements 8. After that, removing the
element forming substrate 7 in the area where the thin film piezoelectric
elements 8 are formed, the thin film piezoelectric elements 8 are held by the
element holding layer 20. Further, the thin film piezoelectric elements 8
held by the element holding layer 20 are separated individually or every
specified unit, and thereby, the thin film piezoelectric elements formed on the
substrate by film forming process are held only by the element holding layer
and a frame structure disposed therearound, improving the mass-productivity
throughout the manufacturing process up to the mounting step.

Abstract: A Web page is localized based on a selected characteristic, such as a
culture, a skin, a filtered set of functions, or other desired trait. Each instance of a
control type in a Web page that is to be localized includes a configurable key
attribute that refers to a localization element of one or more localized property
values for the control type. During a rendering of the Web page, the localized
property values corresponding to the control type and selected characteristic are
automatically applied to each instance that includes the key. The property values
are preferably obtained from a cached resource file that is generated from a data
structure of localization elements stored in a database. A graphic user interface is
provided for defining and managing localization elements in a database to
generate resource files used for localizing a Web page.

Abstract: A system includes a bus and a circuit for precharging the bus. The circuit may be
coupled to receive a clock signal associated with the bus, and may be configured to
precharge a bus during an interval of the period of the clock signal, the interval being
between a first edge (rising or falling) and the subsequent edge (falling or rising). A
second interval within the period and excluding the interval may be used to perform a bus
transfer. In this manner, both precharging and transfer may be performed in the same
clock cycle. Bandwidth of the bus may be improved since transfers may occur each clock
cycle, rather than having a non-transfer clock cycle for precharging.

Filed: 2002-12-09
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for passively and
automatically detecting the presence of a sample (the "sample detection phase") upon
application of the sample to a biosensor, identifying the sample detection time and then
initiating the measurement of a targeted characteristic,  e.g. , the concentration of one or more
analytes, of the sample (the "measurement phase"), immediately upon sample detection.
The subject methods and systems do not employ or involve the application of an electrical
signal from an external source to the electrochemical cell for purposes of performing the
sample detection phase and are, thus, less complicated and involve fewer steps and
components.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une structure de grille métallique et son procédé de formation consistant à introduire des impuretés métalliques (36) dans une première couche métallique (34), composée, par exemple, de TiN. Les impuretés (36) créent une région de surface (37) présentant une sélectivité de gravure supérieure, empêchant la surgravure du TiN (34) pendant la gravure d'une grille (38) en tungstène sus-jacente pendant la formation de la structure de grille métallique. Le fait d'empêcher la surgravure du TiN (34) protège l'oxyde (32) de la grille d'une détérioration indésirable. Le fait de prévoir de l'aluminium ou du tantale en tant qu'impuretés métalliques (36) permet d'obtenir une capacité d'arrêt de gravure adéquate et n'affecte pas de façon indésirable la fonction de travail du TiN (34).
