Patent EP-0517248-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GREEN DAVID T
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 1992-06-05
Abstract: A valve assembly adapted for introduction of an elongate object into a patient's body having a first valve 30a formed of a resilient material and defining an aperture 34 for reception of the object, the aperture being configured and dimensioned such that insertion of the object into the aperture will cause the resilient material defining the aperture to resiliently engage the outer surface of the object in a fluid tight manner. A second valve 36, 38 is positioned adjacent and distal of the first valve in general alignment therewith, whereby the second valve defines an aperture in general alignment with the aperture of the first valve, and is formed of a flexible material at least in the region defining the aperture. A pair of manually operable clamps 40, 42 are provided to selectively permit the aperture of the second valve to be opened or closed so as to permit entry of the object such that the object first passes through the first valve and then the second valve prior to entry into the patient's body.

Abstract: The invention relates to pliers (1) with two plier arms (2, 3) which are connected to one another by means of a joint bolt (4), the plier jaw (M) being formed above the intersection area and grip sections (7, 8) being formed below the intersection area on the plier arms (2, 3), in which arrangement one plier arm (2) gradually adjustable in the intersection area relative to the other plier arm (3) for changing the size of the plier jaw (M) passes through a clearance space (F) of the other plier arm (3), and furthermore the joint bolt (4) is suitably guided in a bore (14) of the other plier arm (3) and can be displaced transversely to the longitudinal plane of the pliers and has two cross-sectional areas adjacent in the axial direction of the joint bolt (4), of which one, in the coupled state, comes into positive-locking engagement with the profiled flanks (longitudinal-slot flanks 12) of a longitudinal slot (11), lying in the intersection area, of one plier arm (2), and the thinner cross-sectional area is freely displaceable in the longitudinal slot (11). To configure the pliers more favourably from the point of view of manipulation, the invention proposes that one side of the other plier arm (3) be formed with a recess (22) on the actuating side of the joint bolt (4), into which recess (22) the joint-bolt head (15) can be received during actuation, and that a sunk actuating stop be provided for the joint-bolt head (15). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method having a plurality of method variants is proposed which allows the layer thickness of the conductive layers on a printed circuit board to be decoupled from the layer thickness of the conductive layers in the holes. This is achieved in that the surface structure of the printed circuit board, especially the conductor runs (3), is produced first, this structure is then covered by a solder resist mask (7) and the metallisation (9) of the holes (4) which are exposed by exposure and development of the solder resist mask, and possibly also of lands and pads, is not carried out until this has been done. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un nouveau sous-système optique (22, 26, 28, 29) est relié à un ordinateur d'analyse (4). Le sous-système optique projette une grille de lignes parallèles (72) sur la rétine du patient (52), et une caméra vidéo (22) placée dans le sous-sytème optique saisit une première image rétinienne et la transmet à l'ordinateur (4) où elle est numérisée pour être analysée. Une seconde image du même oeil est aussi obtenue, avec la grille de lignes parallèles orientées perpendiculairement à la grille de la première image. L'ordinateur (4) stocke les données d'image obtenues du patient pendant une multiplicité de visites. L'ordinateur analyse les images en produisant une carte topographique schématisée de la région rétinienne à étudier. Tout d'abord, un nouvel algorithme de détection de ligne en une dimension (schéma, Fig. 7) est utilisé pour analyser les images. L'algorithme de détection de ligne dilate (140), érode et rétablit (106), effectue une transformation de Fourier (108), filtre au moyen d'un filtre passe-bande (110), effectue le seuillage (114), schématise (116), fait défiler les lignes (118) et effectue l'interprétation des données pour chacune des deux images. L'information obtenue est normalisée (126) afin de compenser les effets des caractéristiques optiques et oculaires du patient. Une carte de lignes topographiques est produite (schéma Fig. 8) au moyen des lignes détectées dans les deux images, et la carte est divisée en sections pour être analysée. A l'aide de points de repère choisis, l'ordinateur aligne la carte avec les cartes topographiques développées à partir d'images obtenues lors des visites précédentes du patient. Des changements volumétriques observées dans la topographie de la rétine comparée à des topographies précédentes produites pour le patient sont calculés et affichés, avec d'autres valeurs à étudier, en un rapport facile à interpréter (Fig. 9)
