Abstract: A vaso-occlusive device (10) includes a microcoil (12) formed into a minimum energy state secondary configuration comprising a plurality of curved segments (14a,14b,24), each defining a discrete axis (16), whereby the device, in its minimum energy state configuration, defines multiple axes. In a preferred embodiment, the minimum energy state secondary configuration comprises a plurality of tangentially-interconnected, substantially circular loops (14a,14b) defining a plurality of discrete axes (16). In an alternative embodiment, the minimum energy state secondary configuration defines a wave-form like structure comprising a longitudinal array of laterally-alternating open loops (24) defining a plurality of separate axes (16). In either embodiment, the device (10), in its minimum energy state secondary configuration, has a dimension that is substantially larger than the largest dimension of the vascular site in which the device is to be deployed. Thus, when the device (10) is deployed in an aneurysm (40) , the confinement of the device (10) within the aneurysm (40) causes the device (10) to assume a three-dimensional configuration that has a higher energy state than the minimum energy state.

Abstract: The invention is a novel method for the late introduction of additives into a process for making condensation polymers. The method employs a reactive carrier that functions as a delivery vehicle for one or more additives. The reactive carrier reacts with the condensation polymers, thereby binding the reactive carrier in the polymer resin and preventing the emergence of the reactive carrier from the polymer resin during subsequent thermal processing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to minimally invasive surgery techniques. It provides a method for manufacturing an antenna for percutaneous acute hyperthermia microwave applications of the monopole or dipole co-axial type provided with trap, commonly called choke, for blocking the propagation of the backwards reflecting wave towards the generator. The miniaturization of the device allows a use minimally invasive for interstitial hyperthermia in medicine and surgery, in particular for oncology. The method of manufacturing the antenna provides a metal needle ( 1 ) for the introduction of the antenna ( 2,3,4 ) in the target tissue. On the external conductor ( 4 ) of the antenna ( 2 ) a metal collar 6 is connected in a predetermined position; a plastics sheath ( 5 ) is applied in order to cover the external conductor ( 2 ) in the portion between the feed ( 7 ) and the collar 6 ; the inner wall of the metal needle 1 wherein the antenna is inserted is then used for containing and guiding the collar 6 and the sheath 5 ; in particular, the collar 6 being in electrical contact with the inner wall of the metal needle 1 . An antenna is thus obtained with choke of variable length and with miniaturized diameter. A thermocouple can be introduced through the choke that protrudes the directly in the "feed" zone.

Abstract: A variator assembly comprising a variator of the toroidal-race rolling-traction type. The assembly has input and output discs and rollers which are acted on by hydraulic roller control actuators. They are positioned between the discs to transmit torque from one disc to the other. Hydraulic end loading means supplied with fluid at an end load pressure to apply an end load to bias the discs and the rollers toward each other, thereby enabling the transmission of torque. Reaction pressure supply means are connected to the roller control actuators to cause them to apply an adjustable reaction force to the rollers. The assembly also has hydraulically influenced valve means which serve to compare an input related to the end load pressure with an input related to the reaction pressure and to control the end load pressure in dependence upon the comparison, thereby maintaining a relationship between the end load and reaction pressures. Adjustment means are provided to adjust the relationship between the end load and reaction pressures.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de visualisation d'un ensemble de données d'image volumique tridimensionnelle (1). Une image bidimensionnelle (15) est formée par projection des données d'image volumique sur un plan de projection. L'invention se caractérise en ce que pour chaque pixel (16), on détermine une valeur d'intensité correspondant à la valeur maximale ou à la valeur minimale de l'intensité moyenne sur un trajet de projection (17) se prolongeant à travers le volume visualisé, d'où une association avec le pixel approprié. Pour déterminer l'intensité moyenne, on effectue un calcul de moyenne avec une pluralité de valeurs d'intensité voisines les unes des autres sur le trajet de projection (17). Pour obtenir une suppression de bruit efficace et un contraste d'image adéquat, le calcul de moyenne est réalisé avec des intervalles au moins partiellement chevauchants (18 à 22) sur le trajet de projection (17). Selon l'invention, ce procédé présente l'avantage d'offrir à l'utilisateur la possibilité de choisir la largeur de l'intervalle de calcul de moyenne comme paramètre libre additionnel, le contraste d'image et le bruit de fond pouvant être influencés indépendamment l'un de l'autre dans une mesure significative.
