Patent EP-1003450-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FOX JAMES
IPC: A61F7/00
Filed: 1998-08-10
Abstract: The invention relates generally to methods and apparatus for inducing hypothermia in an animal. Known methods for inducing hypothermia all involve cooling the outside or inside of an animal, sometimes in conjuction with drugs that disable the animal's homeostatic responses. The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for applying heat to the hypothalamus of a warm-blooded animal in order to utilize the physiological mechanisms that regulate body temperature to effect a compensatory cooling response, thereby lowering body temperature. It is new and unsuggested in the art to apply heat in an effort to reduce body temperature. The invention effects the desired lowering of body temperature by the method of raising the temperature of the hypothalamus, a brain structure situated in humans just above the pituitary gland responsible for temperature regulation, by warming a nasal passage, or a sinus, such as the sphenoid sinus that is nearest to the hypothalamus, or by direct warming of the hypothalamus, or a combination of these.

Abstract: Selon un procédé et un appareil de désynchronisation de signaux PDH transférés via un réseau HNS (1) dans lequel des réglages de pointeur peuvent avoir lieu, on corrige lesdits réglages en termes de désynchronisation avec un écart de fréquence provisoire dans un signal synchro régénéré en fonction des signaux PDH reçus. On corrige un premier réglage du pointeur avec un premier écart de fréquence relativement faible et si on effectue un ou plusieurs réglages supplémentaires du pointeur avant la correction complète du premier réglage du pointeur, la correction s'effectue avec un second écart de fréquence relativement fort. Ainsi, on peut limiter la gigue du signal régénéré à un niveau où la synchronisation dans le dispositif de synchronisation PDH peut être maintenue, au moins lorsque le réseau HNS est à l'état synchrone.

Abstract: A piezoelectric valve having a diaphragm (38) which is kept in contact with a valve seat (52)
when a drive signal is not applied to a piezoelectric element (42) to separate diaphragm chambers
(24a and 24b) from a passage (54), wherein, even if the pressure of fluid introduced into the
diaphragm chambers (24a and 24b) is varied, the diaphragm (38) is firmly supported against the
valve seat (52) without causing any deformation, and the passage (54) is closed securely by a cover,
whereby eliminating the possibility of fluid leakage. On the other hand, the diaphragm (38) is bent
when the drive signal is applied to the piezoelectric element (42) to allow communication of the
diaphragm chambers (24 and 24b) with the passage (54) and guide fluid to the passage (54). If the
piezoelectric element (42) is forced to bent excessively, it will be kept in contact with a cushion
member (56) so as to prevent the piezoelectric element (42) from being deformed excessively,
whereby eliminating the possibility of damage to the piezoelectric element(42).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et son procédé associé permettant d'utiliser une technique améliorée de dépôt physique en phase vapeur avec ionisation activé par un plasma induit par haute fréquence pour déposer une couche de matériau sur une pièce telle qu'un substrat de semiconducteur ou un substrat de tête d'enregistrement à couche mince. Dans une chambre de dépôt physique en phase vapeur (PVD), une pluralité de segments d'antennes inductifs entourent de façon axiale une zone délimitée par l'ensemble cible/cathode du PVD et la pièce. Les segments d'antenne inductifs sont disposés de façon cylindrique autour de l'ensemble cible/cathode du PVD et/ou de la pièce et sont alignés dans un sens sensiblement vertical par rapport à l'ensemble et à la pièce. Une première source d'énergie haute fréquence (HF) fournit de l'énergie électrique à la moitié des segments d'antenne de manière à créer une première source de plasma induit par haute fréquence. Une seconde source d'énergie HF fournit de l'énergie électrique aux segments d'antenne restants de manière à créer une seconde source de plasma induit par haute fréquence. Les deux sources de plasma induit par haute fréquence fonctionnent conjointement pour produire une source de plasma induit par haute fréquence multi-zone générant un champ magnétique inductif rotatif permettant d'obtenir un plasma PVD haute-densité uniforme.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé et un système pour écrire des réseaux de Bragg apodisés à l'intérieur d'une fibre optique. Le procédé consiste à se munir d'une fibre optique photosensible et d'un faisceau d'écriture. Une distribution d'intensité périodique d'une période Μ est créée à partir du faisceau d'écriture et la fibre optique est transcodée relativement à la distribution d'intensité à une vitesse v(t). L'intensité du faisceau d'écriture est modulée en fonction de la durée à une fréquence f(t) où .v(t)/f(t)≈Μ. L'intensité du faisceau d'écriture est de nouveau variée pour réguler l'enveloppe du profil d'indice de réfraction permettant d'écrire des réseaux apodisés.

Abstract: A newly proposed steel consists of 8.0-35.0wt.% Cr, 0.05-1.20wt.% C,
0.05-3.0wt.% at least one of Ti, Nb, Zr, V and W and the balance being
essentially Fe and has the structure that a total amount of Ti, Nb, Zr V and/or
W carbide precipitations distributed in a steel matrix is adjusted to 0.1wt.% or
more. The steel is bestowed with excellent abrasion-resistance by distribution
of carbide precipitations. These carbides have nearly the same hardness as
hard particles such as alumina and silicon carbides which causes abrasive
abrasion. Due to such excellent abrasion-resistance, a weaving machine
member, a sewing needle, an agricultural machine member such as a mowing
tooth or a cutter blade made of the steel can be used over a long period of
time.

Abstract: A susceptor composition that can bond two or more layers or substrates to one another and that can be used to coat a cut substrate. The susceptor composition is activated in the presence of radio frequency (RF) energy. In one embodiment, the susceptor composition of the present invention comprises a susceptor and a carrier. The carrier and susceptor are blended with one another and form a mixture, preferably a uniform mixture. The susceptor is present in an amount effective to allow the susceptor composition to be heated by RF energy. In a preferred embodiment, the susceptor also functions as an adhesive. The susceptor is an ionic or polar compound and acts as either a charge-carrying or an oscillating/vibrating component of the susceptor composition. The susceptor generates thermal energy in the presence of an RF electromagnetic or electrical field (hereafter RF field). According to the present invention, the susceptor can be an inorganic salt (or its respective hydrate), such as stannous chloride (SnCl2) or lithium perchlorate (LiC1O4), or an organic salt, such as lithium acetate (LiC2H3O2). The susceptor can be a non-ferromagnetic ionic salt. The susceptor can also be a polymeric ionic compound ("ionomer") which preferably also functions as an adhesive and/or coating. Under RF power levels of about 0.5 kilowatt (kW) to 1kW, and frequencies of about 1 to 100 MHz, the susceptor composition of the present invention facilitates the bonding of single layers of polymeric materials such as polyolefins, non-polyolefins, and non-polymeric materials, as well as multilayer stacks of these materials.
