Title: Greffe prosthetique de reparation d'un anevrisme
Inventor: ORTH GEOFFREY A

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de greffe pour la réparation d'un anévrisme, comprenant une greffe prosthétique avec des moyens permettant d'étirer une extrémité distale de la greffe par dessus une partie d'un organe d'ancrage expansible. Avant leur déploiement, la greffe et l'élément d'ancrage ne se chevauchent pas afin de réduire le diamètre extérieur du système d'apport. De préférence, les moyens d'étirage comprennent des cordons de traction reliés à l'extrémité distale de la greffe de sorte que l'extrémité distale de la greffe peut être tirée par dessus une partie proximale de l'élément d'ancrage. L'expansion ultérieure de l'élément d'ancrage scelle la greffe recouverte contre la paroi du vaisseau afin de réduire au minimum les fuites de sang et fixer le greffon dans le vaisseau. Des moyens de fixation peuvent être avancés jusqu'à chaque fil de traction jusqu'à buter contre l'élément d'ancrage et fixer le greffon sur l'élément d'ancrage. Le greffon peut également comprendre des moyens de guidage d'un second élément d'ancrage expansible jusqu'à l'extrémité proximale du greffon. De préférence, les moyens de guidage comprennent des fils de guidage reliés à une extrémité proximale du greffon. L'élément d'ancrage peut alors être avancé jusqu'à ce que le greffon recouvre le second élément d'ancrage. L'expansion du second élément d'ancrage permet de fixer l'extrémité distale du greffon.

Abstract: A heat exchanger coil is comprised of plural metal tubes of generally circular cross-section, plural heat transfer enhancing fins and plural relatively flat metal support plates, each of which has plural first holes and plural second holes arranged in parallel rows. The tubes are laced through the respective holes in the plates and through aligned holes in the fins such that the tubes extend generally at right angles to the respective planes of the plates and fins. In one embodiment, each plate is cut to define two discrete flexible sections and a resilient arm for flexibly coupling one of the two sections of each plate with a relatively fixed portion of the corresponding plate. The first holes, which are oversized relative to the outside diameter of the tubes laced therethrough, are formed in both the relatively fixed portion and the two flexible sections of each plate. The second holes, which are smaller in diameter than the first holes, are formed only in the two flexible sections of each plate. The tubes extending through the second holes are in contact with the corresponding flexible sections such that the flexible sections provide support for all of the tubes and fins of the heat exchanger coil. The tubes extending through the first holes are able to float with respect to the plates because of the oversized first holes, while the tubes extending through the second holes are constrained to move relative to the plates along with the corresponding flexible sections.

Abstract: An isolated and purified non-denatured transferrin receptor protein of a Moraxella strain, particularly M. catarrhalis, has an apparent molecular mass of about 80 to about 90 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The transferrin receptor protein or a fragment analog thereof is useful in diagnostic applications and immunogenic compositions, particularly for in vivo administration to a host to confer protection against disease caused by a strain of Moraxella. The transferrin receptor protein is isolated from strains of Moraxella catarrhalis by a procedure including extraction of agent soluble proteins of a cell mass produced by cultivating the strain under iron-starved conditions. The transferrin receptor protein is selectively solubilized from the extracted cell mass and purified.

Abstract: The tool spindle (5) is driven from the pinion (5) of the motor armature via the planet-carrier of the gear train. The pinion meshes with a gear (2) turning on the tool spindle and which forms parts of the ratchet mechanism (6,7) generating the hammer-blows. Gear teeth (17) rotating with the gear form the sunwheel of the gear train (18), and the gear (2) transmits the axial hammer-blows to the tool spindle via a bearing (16) accommodating the difference between its speed and that of the spindle. The sunwheel teeth can form part of the gear (2) itself, and the bearing can be accommodated between an annular edge on the gear and a shoulder on the spindle.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne de nouveaux types de lentilles intra-oculaires ou 'LIO' (21) ainsi qu'un procédé de production de tels LIO (21). Le procédé de l'invention consiste à combiner plusieurs opérations qui augmentent la force de traction entre l'élément de fixation (28) de la LIO et l'optique (26) de la LIO, sans avoir recours à des techniques compliquées d'activation par décharge corona haute fréquence ou d'activation par plasma ou d'autres techniques rares d'activation de l'élément de fixation, ni encore à un revêtement de l'élément de fixation par une couche d'adhésif. Les éléments optiques en polymères de silicones de l'invention peuvent être formés, par exemple moulés, sans évidements destinés à accueillir les éléments de fixation. De tels évidements peuvent être formés et pourvu d'une quantité de composition précurseur du matériau aux polymères de silicones une fois que les éléments optiques ont été produits. Les éléments de fixation se placent ensuite dans les évidements et se fixent alors aux éléments optiques. Le procédé de l'invention est simple, facile à mettre en oeuvre et bon marché pour une production de LIO de haute qualité.

Abstract: A femoral head-neck prosthesis (1) which allows natural straining of the upper femur to prevent bone loss. The natural angle of loading of the bone is determined prior to the operation, and the prosthesis is implanted with its longitudinal axis (AX-1) parallel to the natural angle (AX-5). The prosthesis is constructed to inhibit axial fixation and "splinting" of the prosthesis below the interface between the femur neck and the prosthesis on the upper femur. Splines (19) on a stem (13) of the prosthesis help to fix the prosthesis against rotation and toggling motion. The prosthesis is asymmetrical about its longitudinal axis to provide further stability when implanted. The prosthesis and its method of implantation preserve the trochanter and cap the femur to prevent microscopic debris from entering the interior bone.

Abstract: Pumping mechanisms for performing peritoneal dialysis and the like employ a pumping mechanism comprising a diaphragm (59) that operate in response to applied fluid pressure. Flexible tubing is attached to the pumping mechanism for carrying liquid to and from the patient's peritoneal cavity. An actuating station for pumping mechanism receives the pumping mechanism, and attached tubing. A pressure transfer element (104) conveys fluid pressure to the diaphragm (59) for moving liquid through the cassette. An occluder element (138,144) contacts and crimps closed the tubing attached to the cassette. A first reservoir (128) inflates with positive fluid pressure for contacting the pressure transfer element (104) to hold it in operative contact against the diaphragm (59). A second reservoir inflates with positive fluid pressure for contacting the occluding element (138,144) to hold it away from crimping contact with the tubing. At least one of the first (128) and second (152) reservoirs also transports fluid pressure to the pressure transfer element for conveyance to the diaphragm.
