Patent EP-1434533-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHIN YEM
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: Dans l'état actuel de la technique, on effectue la canulation endoscopique de la voie biliaire principale et la papillotomie et/ou la sphinctérotomie de la papille de Vater et/ou du sphincter d'Oddi en faisant avancer un sphinctérotome (ou un papillotome ou un cannulatome) dans un endoscope/duodénoscope, de manière à faire sortir l'extrémité distale du sphinctérotome de l'endoscope à proximité immédiate des muscles sphincter au niveau de la papille de Vater. On manipule ensuite les mécanismes de l'endoscope afin d'orienter l'extrémité distale du sphinctérotome dans la position désirée de manière à permettre une canulation adéquate de la voie biliaire. Le réglage précis et stable de la longueur de la lame exposée est rendu difficile par un certain nombre de facteurs. Ces facteurs comprennent : 1) les différences de diamètre interne entre le tube externe et le fil du bistouri-aiguille, 2) l'orientation du fil du bistouri-aiguille à l'intérieur du tube externe, 3) l'incompatibilité de tolérance entre le fil du bistouri-aiguille et le diamètre interne de l'extrusion, 4) l'anatomie, et 5) la manipulation de l'endoscope. Un sphinctérotome équipé du dispositif décrit permet de fournir à l'utilisateur une indication de la longueur de lame exposée et permet au médecin de régler la longueur de lame exposée. Dans une forme de réalisation, diverses indications visuelles sont présentées à l'utilisateur à mesure que le bistouri-aiguille est avancé hors de sa gaine externe. Ces indications visuelles combinées à un procédé mécanique assurant le maintien de la position du bistouri pendant la mise en place du cathéter permettent à l'utilisateur d'effectuer des incisions précises. Les produits disponibles à ce jour pouvant être modifiés de manière à comprendre le présent dispositif comprennent notamment (mais non exclusivement) les sphinctérotomes Boston Scientific et les bistouris-aiguilles dits « needle knives ».

Abstract: An apparatus and method for enabling a user to view a multimedia broadcasting,
especially for processing a multimedia audio signal when a voice call is requested
during the multimedia broadcasting. In the mobile terminal, an RF module converts
a received RF signal for a voice call to a coded signal. An audio processor
converts the coded signal to an electrical voice signal and outputs it through a
speaker. A demultiplexer receives a digital multimedia signal and separates it into
an audio signal and a video signal. A decoder decodes the audio and video signals
and provides the decoded audio signal to the speaker and the decoded video signal
to a display. A controller discontinues decoding the audio signal and outputs the
voice signal from the audio processor through the speaker, if a voice call request
is generated during receiving of the digital multimedia signal.
