IPC: F27D1/12
Filed: 2003-12-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling element, particularly for use in walls of furnaces that are subjected to high levels of thermal stress, and to a method for producing a cooling element. The cooling element is comprised of cast copper or of a low-alloyed copper alloy and is provided with coolant channels, which consist of tubes cast inside the copper or the copper alloy and which are placed inside the cooling element. In order to create a cooling element with an improved material bond on the contact surfaces between the cooling tube and the metal cast around it and thus with an increased heat transfer, the invention provides that the tubes of the coolant channels are provided with an electrolytic coating on the exterior thereof. The use of copper tubes has been shown to be particularly advantageous, and the coating of the tube exteriors thereof ensues in an electroplating bath.

Abstract: The nutritional deficiencies which constitute a serious side-effect of intestinal cleansing procedures can be alleviated or entirely avoided by a composition and method according to the present invention, wherein a complex carbohydrate is administered to the patient in a form and an amount which gives a blood glucose response similar to that following a normal meal, and stabilizes the blood glucose level above 3.5 mmol/l, preferably above about 4 mmol/l, thus preventing hypoglycaemia. The composition and method is suitable for all patients, but in particular for weakened, elderly or diabetic patients. The composition and method significantly improves the well-being of the patients, and does not reduce the cleansing effect achieved by conventional intestinal cleansing preparations or procedures, and has no known side effects. The preferred complex carbohydrate is native corn starch, and the composition may also include a simple carbohydrate, e.g. sucrose.

Abstract: A duobinary optical transmission device provides duobinary optical transmission
with improved quality by a technique that does not require an electrical low pass filter
LPF A duobinary optical transmission device includes at least one semiconductor optical
amplifier (SOA). A light source outputs a carrier wave as an optical signal. A precoder
encodes an input of a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) electrical signal. An interferometer type
semiconductor optical amplification unit modulates the carrier wave according to a change
of an applied bias current coupled to the encoded signal. An optical band pass filter
(OBPF) receives the phase-modulated optical signal from the semiconductor optical
amplification unit, filters the received phase-modulated optical signal according to a
designated band, and outputs an optical duobinary signal.

Abstract: A stent or other intraluminal medical device has a series of split-bridges interposed between a series of fixed bridges to reduce the likelihood of deformation during stent loading and stent deployment without sacrificing overall stent flexibility. The stent comprises a plurality of hoops interconnected by a plurality of fixed bridges. The stent also comprises a plurality of split-bridges, which only make contact when the stent is subjected to compressive axial loading. The stent may also comprise markers formed from housings integral with the stent and marker inserts having a higher radiopacity than the stent. This design provides for more precise placement and post-procedural visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stent under X-ray fluoroscopy. The housings are formed integral to the stent and the marker inserts are made from a material close in the galvanic series to the stent material and sized to substantially minimize the effect of galvanic corrosion. The housings are also shaped to minimize their impact on the overall profile of the stent.

Abstract: A closed loop feedback drug delivery system for controlling muscle activity, e.g.,

activity and generating a detected muscle activity signal. A controller (115) automatically

control signal is performed by an infusion pump (125). The drug after being emitted from the
pump is then delivered to the spinal cord of the patient using an intrathecal catheter.
