Abstract: Power and ground planes that are used in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and that comprise porous, conductive materials are disclosed. Using porous power and ground plane materials in PCBs allows liquids (e.g., water and/or other solvents) to pass through the power and ground planes, thus decreasing failures in PCBs (or PCBs used as laminate chip carriers) caused by cathodic/anodic filament growth and delamination of insulators. Porous conductive materials suitable for use in PCBs may be formed by using metal-coated organic cloths (such as polyester or liquid crystal polymers) or fabrics (such as those made from carbon/graphite or glass fibers), using metal wire mesh instead of metal sheets, using sintered metal, or making metal sheets porous by forming an array of holes in the metal sheets. Fabrics and mesh may be woven or random. If an array of holes is formed in a metal sheet, such an array may be formed with no additional processing steps than are performed using conventional PCB assembly methods.

Abstract: A syringe pump has a motor (9) rotating a leadscrew (8), which drives a plunger head retainer (10) to push a plunger (35) along the barrel (30) of a syringe (3) so as to dispense medication to a patient. A force sensor (20) in the head retainer (10) measures the force on the plunger (35) to detect when there is an occlusion restricting flow of medication. When an excess force is detected an alarm is generated and the motor (9) is reversed to reduce the force to about 10% of that at which the occlusion is detected. The occlusion can be removed with a reduced risk of a bolus of medication being dispensed after which the user restarts the pump so that the plunger (35) is driven normally. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for using an engine's exhaust back pressure to control a variable geometry turbocharger. The control system determines a desired exhaust back pressure based on engine speed and engine load. The desired exhaust back pressure is compared with a measured exhaust back pressure to determine the difference between the measured and desired exhaust back pressures. The difference value is used to determine the duty cycle. In an alternate embodiment, the exhaust gas pressure is used to adjust the duty cycle determined by other operating parameters. A base duty cycle is determined from the engine speed and the engine load. The difference between the measured and desired exhaust back pressures is used to determine an exhaust pressure control duty cycle. The base duty cycle is then adjusted by the exhaust pressure control duty cycle to give a turbocharger duty cycle.

Instead, the harness follows the contour of the heart throughout diastole and continuously exerts gentle resistance to stretch. Also disclosed is a method of delivering the cardiac harness to the heart minimally invasively.
