Patent EP-1003432-A1 (EP)
Inventor: INGLE FRANK
IPC: A61N1/06
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: The invention provides improved devices, methods, and systems for shrinking of collagenated tissues, particularly for treating urinary incontinence in a noninvasive manner by directing energy to a patient's own support tissues. This energy heats fascia and other collagenated support tissues, causing them to contract. The energy can be applied intermittently, often between a pair of large plate electrodes having cooled flat electrode surfaces, the electrodes optionally being supported by a clamp structure. Such cooled plate electrodes are capable of directing electrical energy through an intermediate tissue and into fascia while the cooled electrode surface prevents injury to the intermediate tissue, particularly where the electrode surfaces are cooled before, during, and after an intermittent heating cycle. Ideally, the plate electrode comprises an electrode array including discrete electrode surface segments so that the current flux can be varied to selectively target the fascia. Alternatively, chilled "liquid electrodes" may direct current through a selected portion of the bladder while also cooling the bladder wall, an insulating gas can prevent heating of an alternative bladder portion and the adjacent tissues, and/or ultrasound transducers direct energy through an intermediate tissue and into fascia with little or no injury to the intermediate tissue.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing flat cellulosic films. A solution of cellulose in an aqueous tertiary amine oxide is shaped into a sheet (4) of film using an extrusion nozzle (2) with a longitudinal extrusion gap (3) and transported through an air gap (5) into a precipitation bath (6), where the flat cellulosic film (12) is formed. The inventive method is characterised in that the side edges (7) of the solution which is shaped into a sheet (4) are brought into contact with and joined to cellulosic strips (8), and in that said cellulosic strips (8) are guided on the side edges of the solution which is shaped into a sheet and optionally of the cellulosic flat film in such a way as to prevent transversal shrinkage.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de variation de la polarisation d'une onde électromagnétique incidente. Les dispositifs connus de ce type conservent le découplage d'un signal, c'est-à-dire le rapport entre la polarisation utile et la polarisation croisée du signal d'entrée. En outre, pour bon nombre d'applications, ils présentent de trop grandes dimensions. Le nouveau dispositif a pour but d'améliorer le découplage du signal. Lors de la transmission d'une onde électromagnétique à travers le polariseur à transmission, la fraction à polarisation circulaire croisée d'un signal incident est largement réfléchie, ce qui a pour conséquence que le découplage du signal transmis est sensiblement amélioré. En outre, le polariseur à transmission peut simplement être réalisé sous la forme d'une unique plaquette plane de circuit imprimé. Le polariseur à transmission est utilisé pour faire varier la polarisation d'une onde électromagnétique incidente, à savoir, pour passer d'une polarisation linéaire à une polarisation circulaire ou inversement, ainsi que pour faire tourner d'un angle fixe la polarisation d'une onde électromagnétique incidente.

Abstract: A regenerable stencil printing plate is provided, which can be
repeatedly used in master making and printing. The stencil printing plate
comprises a film made of such a polymeric material as polypyrrole and
polythiophene which shrinks when it adsorbs a specific compound, and
numerous fine apertures are formed in the film in cross sectional direction
thereof. Stencil printing is performed by providing the stencil printing
plate as mentioned above, transferring the compound to the film in such a
manner that a desired image is reproduced to expand the apertures
selectively at sites to which the compound is transferred, and allowing an
image forming material to pass through the thus expanded apertures and
transfer to a recording medium. The stencil printing plate can constitute
an outer circumferentical surface of an ink-permeable cylindrical printing
drum used in a conventional stencil printing apparatus. The plate can be
regenerated by desorbing the above compound or coating another compound
capable of adsorbing to the plate and expanding the polymeric material to
narrow the expanded apertures of the plate.

faceplate 12, a ceramic tube 16, and a ceramic stem 17. The
photocathode 13 emits photo-electrons from a surface
opposite from the incidence plane, in accordance with
incident light. The FT-CCD 11 has an incidence plane
disposed in the pathway of photo-electrons from the opposite
surface. An imaging portion 11a of the FT-CCD 11 has pixels
in the vertical direction in the same number as or in
greater numbers than the number of output scan lines. A
transfer electrode of the imaging portion 11a is constantly
applied with a negative voltage during an image accumulation
period. By this, dark current can be controlled, the S/N
ratio can be improved, resolution can be maintained, and
sensitivity can be improved.
