Abstract: A thermal therapy catheter includes a catheter shaft having an outer surface that is insertable into the body lumen. The catheter shaft carries an energy-emitting element. A multi-lobe balloon is positioned around the outer surface of the catheter shaft adjacent to the energy-emitting element, with opposing ends of the multi-lobe balloon being sealingly connected to the catheter shaft to form a chamber between the multi-lobe balloon and the outer surface of the catheter shaft. A fluid is circulated between the outer surface of the catheter shaft and the multi-lobe balloon in a defined fluid flow path to firmly contact the wall of the body lumen and thereby conductively cool the body lumen tissue while thermally treating targeted tissue at a depth from the body lumen wall.

Abstract: A hose 20 made of thermoplastic resin is heated by flowing high temperature such as vapor into the hose, the flow of the high temperature fluid is restricted downstream of he hose to pressurize an interior of the hose. The hose heated in this manner is bent by bending jigs 51 and 52. Lastly, cold temperature fluid such as water is allowed to flow into the hose to cool and harden the hose, thereby producing a flexion resin hose. Alternatively, the hose is formed with a corrugated portion having uneven characteristics in its circumferential direction with respect to tensile strength in the axial direction. High temperature and high pressure fluid is allowed to flow into the hose to heat and pressurize the hose, thereby bending the corrugated portion by an internal pressure. Then, cold temperature fluid is allowed to flow into the hose to cool and harden the hose, thereby producing the flexion resin hose. It is possible to heat, bend and cool the hose in a short cycle with high precision, and it is possible to provide a method for producing a flexion resin hose having excellent productivity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process to correct signal parameter errors in an operating circuit for gas discharge and halogen lamps or LEDs derives two base values from an error-containing reference value, one of which is compared with a nominal value to find the error. The other is then altered so that the combination of the two is compensated. <??>One base value is derived from reference value without reference to its error. direction and size of base value error is determined by comparison with nominal value. The other base value derived from the reference value, is altered referring to the error of the first base value, so that the influence of the reference value error is compensated for by creation of combined value. Combined value is the product of both base values or proportional to product of them.

Abstract: A single piezoelectric (22) is excited at a first frequency to cause two vibration modes in a resonator (24) producing a first elliptical motion (100a) in a first direction at a selected contacting portion of the resonator that is placed in frictional engagement with a driven element (42) to move the driven element in a first direction. A second frequency excites the same piezoelectric to cause two vibration modes of the resonator producing a second preferably elliptical motion (100b) in a second direction at the selected contacting portion to move the driven element in a second direction. The piezoelectric is preloaded in compression by the resonator. Walls of the resonator are stressed past their yield point to maintain the preload. Specially shaped ends on the piezoelectric help preloading. The piezoelectric can send or receive vibratory signals through the driven element to or from sensors to determine the position of the driven element relative to the piezoelectric element or resonator. Conversely, the piezoelectric element can receive vibration or electrical signals passed through the driven element to determine the position of the driven element. The resonator is resiliently urged against the driven element, or vice versa. Plural resonators can drive common driven elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and processes for optical measurement and detection with real-time closed-loop controls, which enable higher levels of performance. The invention is especially suitable for applications such as spectroscopy; microscopy; biochemical assays; processes and reactions on miniaturized formats (such as those involving micro-/nano-plates, micro-formats & micro-arrays, chemistry-on-chip, lab-on-chip, micro-channels and micro-fluidics, where dimensions are on micron scale and volumes are in the sub-nanoliter range). Such “intelligent sensing” allows higher data quality and reliability, higher measurement and analysis throughput and lower cost. The invention uses fast real-time adaptive digital signal processing and controls directly at the point where data is sensed. Through real-time adaptive control of sensors, chemical/opto-mechanical/opto-electronic processes and other components during the measurement process, consistently higher quality results and higher reliability are achieved. This invention furthermore includes an improved image sensor architecture that enables very high intra-array dynamic range at fast frame rates and low noise performance.
