Abstract: A catheter introduction apparatus provides a radially expandable helical coil as a radiofrequency emitter. In one application the emitter is introduced percutaneously, and transseptally advanced to the ostium of a pulmonary vein. The emitter is radially expanded, which can be accomplished amongst other means by inflating an anchoring balloon about which the emitter is wrapped, in order to cause the emitter to make circumferential contact with the inner wall of the pulmonary vein. The coil is energized by a radiofrequency generator, and a circumferential ablation lesion is produced in the myocardial sleeve of the pulmonary vein, which effectively blocks electrical propagation between the pulmonary vein and the left atrium. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The thermoelastic response of certain materials to an incident electromagnetic excitation beam is highly sensitive to physical conditions existing at the surface of the material. Probe structures carrying probe materials are used as sensors in the analysis and investigation of biochemical molecules. Each probe structure is adapted to undergo a thermoelastic response when excited by temporally varying electromagnetic radiation, characteristics of the thermoelastic response being a function of physical properties of material binding to the surface of the probe structure. An electromagnetic excitation means directs electromagnetic energy at a selected one of the probe structures in order to elicit the excitation response. A detection means determines change in excitation response of the probe structures resulting from the binding of molecules thereto.

Abstract: A thermostatic mixer for hot and cold water has a shuttle vale movable between a hot seat and a cold seat for controlling the relative proportions of mixed hot and cold water flowing past a thermostat responsive to the mixed water temperature for controlling the shuttle valve in accordance with user selection of the mixed water temperature. Apertures downstream of the hot water seat divert a portion of the hot water flow away from the thermostat so that the thermostat resides in mixed water that is slightly cooler than the mixed water temperature at the outlet. The diverted flow is responsive to changes in pressure of the supplies such that the change in water temperature arising at the thermostat adds to the temperature change caused by the pressure change whereby the response of the thermostat to adjust the shuttle valve to maintain the selected mixed water temperature is enhanced.
