Patent EP-0891786-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GUBBELS PAUL A
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 1998-07-08
Abstract: A medical electrical lead which features a portion
of the lead body which may be made temporarily stiff.
The lead preferred is designed for implantation into a
body and would include electrodes (61, 62, 63) for both
the ventricle and the atrium. The temporarily stiff
portion may be located along the lead body (5) in the
area strictly within the atrium or may also include
portions of the lead body implanted in the ventricle or
even in the superior vena cava. The atrial portion
further includes one or more electrodes. The
temporarily stiff portion is formed through the use of a
cavity (15) in the lead body filled with magnet-rheologic
fluid (hereinafter called "MRF"). Once the
lead is implanted, a magnet (99) may be used to
communicate with the lead body and, in particular, with
the MRF filled cavity (15). While in the magnetic
field, the MRF will become solid and the lead body in
such an area will become stiffer. The lead body (5),
moreover, in this area will also be attracted to the
magnet (99) thereby causing the lead body in that
portion to migrate towards the magnet. The MRF filled
cavity may either be cylindrical in cross-section or
have other cross-sections, such as a semi-circle. The
temporarily stiff portion may be located anywhere along
the lead body between the proximal and distal ends. In
the preferred embodiment the temporarily stiff portion
is located between approximately 0 and 20 cm from the
lead distal end and is between approximately 2 cm and 20
cm in total length. In an additional embodiment the lead
is disclosed for coronary sinus placement. Finally, a
further embodiment is shown which features MRF (106) for
the transfer of force from a stylet (108) to the lead.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the transmit power of a high rate code division multiple access (CDMA) link is described. The channel condition to a subscriber unit is evaluated and the configuration of a high rate link in soft handoff is based on the channel condition. If a fading channel is detected the supplemental channels of the high rate link are transmitted from multiple base stations. If a non-fading channel is detected the supplemental channels of the high rate link are transmitted from a single base station. Parameters monitored to determine the channel condition include the pilot strength, pilot code offset and error rate.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à des procédés servant à former des structures façonnées de matières contenant du silicium, au moyen d'une implantation d'ions et d'un procédé de gravure sélectif par rapport à la matière contenant du silicium sur laquelle a été implantée une certaine concentration d'ions; ou au moyen d'un procédé de gravure sélectif par rapport à une matière contenant du silicium relativement non implantée. De manière générale, le procédés comportent initialement l'étape consistant à prévoir une couche de matière contenant du silicium, tel du silicium polycristallin ou du silicium épitaxial, sur un substrat de semi-conducteur. La couche de matière contenant du silicium est ensuite masquée, et des ions sont implantés dans des parties exposées de la couche de matière contenant du silicium. Le masque est retiré, et le procédé de gravure sélective mentionné précédemment est mis en oeuvre pour obtenir une élimination d'une partie implantée et d'une partie relativement non implantée de la couche de matière contenant du silicium, la partie restante formant une structure façonnée de matière contenant du silicium. Un procédé de gravure sélective préféré emploie une solution de gravure comportant un pourcentage en poids sélectionné d'hydroxyde de tétraméthylammonium dans de l'eau désionisée. La solution de gravure permet de graver une matière contenant du silicium relativement non implantée jusqu'à 60 fois plus rapidement qu'une matière contenant du silicium implantée qui présente une concentration d'ions supérieure à une concentration seuil. Les divers procédés sont utilisés pour former des structures façonnées en relief, des orifices façonnés, des bouchons en silicium polycristallin, des noeuds de mémoires à condensateur, des transistors à grille circulaire, des parois autoportantes, des lignes d'interconnexion, des condensateurs à tranchées, et des zones d'isolation par tranchées.

Abstract: The technique of extending a printable area, in
which an image can be recorded, by carrying out a sub-scan
with rollers in a delivering section of a printer
having a lower accuracy of sheet feeding often causes
dropout of raster lines and thereby deteriorates the
picture quality of a resulting printed image. In an ink
jet printer 22 of the present invention, the interlace
method is applied to record an image in a first area
where rollers 25a, 25b in a feeding section ensure the
accuracy of sheet feeding, in order to attain the high
picture quality. The printable area is extended to a
second area, where the rollers 27a, 27b in the
delivering section are used to carry out the sheet
feeding of the lower accuracy after the lower end of a
printing medium comes off the rollers 25a, 25b in the
feeding section. In the present invention, recording of
dots is carried out by the interlace method with a
reduced number of working nozzles Nz in the second area.
This decreases each amount of sub-scan and thereby
reduces an error in sheet feeding. The method of
enabling each raster line to be formed with different
nozzles Nz or the method of creating large dots having a
greater diameter may also be applied to form raster
lines in the second area. Single or combined
application of these techniques significantly improves
the picture quality in the second area.
