Abstract: An apparatus for temporarily immobilizing a local area of tissue. In particular, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for temporarily immobilizing a local area of heart tissue to thereby permit surgery on a coronary vessel in that area without significant deterioration of the pumping function of the beating heart. The local area of heart tissue is immobilized to a degree sufficient to permit minimally invasive or micro-surgery on that area of the heart. The present invention features a suction device to accomplish the immobilization. The suction device is coupled to a source of negative pressure.  The suction device has a series of suction ports on one surface. Suction through the device causes suction to be maintained at the ports. The device further is shaped to conform to the surface of the heart. Thus, when the device is placed on the surface of the heart and suction is created, the suction through the ports engages the surface of the heart. The suction device is further fixed or immobilized to a stationary object, such as an operating table or a sternal or rib retractor. Thus, the local area of the heart near the suction device is temporarily fixed or immobilized relative to the stationary object while suction is maintained. In such a fashion, the coronary artery may be immobilized even though the heart itself is still beating so that a bypass graft may be performed. In addition the suction device may be used in either a conventional, open-chest environment or in a minimally-invasive environment, e.g. endoscopic.

Date Oct. 16, 1997A tundish impact pad comprises the body of refractory material capable of withstanding contact with molten steel. The body comprises a base having an impact surface for molten steel, and an outer side wall extending upwardly from the impact surface. The outer side wall extends around the base to completely enclose it, an annular body portion connected to the side wall and providing a top surface substantially parallel to the impact surface and defining an opening into which molten steel can be poured. The lower surface of the annular body portion and the inner face of the side wall define a recess having an undercut portion extending continuously around and above the impact surface. A first portion of the top surface is at a lower level than the remainder at the top surface and the recess beneath the first portion of the top surface has a smaller cross-section than the remainder of the recess. The impact pad is particularly useful with a longitudinally-extending tundish having a steel inlet zone toward the end opposite to the outlet zone(s).

Abstract: A phacoemulsification needle tip of the present invention has a continuous cutting edge formed at an inner surface of a cylindrical needle shaft. The cutting edge is formed by cutting the needle shaft at an angle and beveling the exterior surface of at least the forward portion of the needle. The beveling of the exterior surface of the needle tip moves the cutting edge from an exterior diameter of the needle to an interior diameter of the needle. The needle tip having the shape of the present invention has improved cutting ability, accuracy, and threading ability which are important for phacoemulsification procedures. The needle tip is also less likely to puncture sensitive membranes of the eye during surgery. The needle tip may also include an internal beveled surface at a trailing portion of the cutting edge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the fast and efficient filling of voids of both simple and complex shape which can be carried out at room temperature. In particular, the present invention consists of the use of free flowing thermally expanding and curing powders which are poured into the voids and then heated causing the powder to expand, coalesce and cure and thus filling or partially filling the void space as required. The process according to the present invention is particularly suitable for filling the spaces in, around and between honeycomb or pre-formed foam cores as required to produce a filled or partially filled honeycomb or foam core or any other material used in sandwich panel construction. This process is also a simple and efficient method for filling moulds suitable for use in cellular artefact production. The filled or partially filled mould or honeycomb core can then be cured to produce bonded sandwich panels or moulded cellular artefacts. In sandwich panel construction the core material can be bounded by one or more surface skins and the cured bonded panel can be cut to provide a panel having pre-sealed edges.

Abstract: A method for sequential chemiluminescent detection of two differently labeled analytes on a single blot is described. In the method, a uniquely labeled DNA is detected with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate followed by the detection of another uniquely labeled DNA with a second different enzyme substrate which also inhibits the chemiluminescence generated by HRP. The sequential detection method described herein eliminates the need to strip and reprobe Southern, Northern and Western blots. Potential applications of this method include forensic DNA fingerprinting where more than one probe is used for probing a Southern blot, multiplex DNA sequencing of more than one template, detection of gene rearrangements, mutations and gene linkage.

Abstract: A channel communication device and method for a mobile communication system using transmission antenna diversity. A base station alternatively transmits signals on a common channel via at least two antennas at first and second intervals. A mobile station estimates a time relationship between the alternatively switched common channel and a user channel and measures the power of the received signals corresponding to the first and second intervals. The mobile station selects an antenna having stronger power by comparing the power of the signal corresponding to the first interval with the power of the signal corresponding to the second interval, and informs the base station of the selected antenna. The base station transmits a dedicated channel via the selected antenna.
