Patent EP-0537279-A1 (EP)
Title: Appareil et procéde destinés à amener des objets
Inventor: LEATON TIMOTHY HOWARD
IPC: B65G47/84
Filed: 1991-07-11
Abstract: Appareil de transport comprenant un transporteur supérieur mobile (1) comprenant une multiplicité d'éléments de guidage (7) tels que, par exemple, des bacs, qui sont transportés à une vitesse prédéterminée et placés à une distance prédéterminée les uns des autres le long d'une trajectoire prédéterminée. Les éléments de guidage comportent chacun un fond ouvert et sont adaptés à recevoir des objets qui y sont individuellement alimentés. Sur une première partie de sa trajectoire, chaque élément de guidage (7) se situe directement au-dessus d'un transporteur inférieur (11) qui ferme le fond dudit élément de guidage (7) tout en se déplaçant en synchronisation avec celui-ci, de manière à permettre à l'un des objets d'être retenu à l'intérieur de l'élément de guidage (7) par ledit transporteur inférieur (11) pour une durée suffisante qui permet audit objet de prendre sa position. Sur une partie subséquente de la trajectoire, l'élément de guidage (7) et le transporteur inférieur (11) sont séparés, ce qui expose l'objet sur le transporteur inférieur en une position et à un moment déterminés avec précision. L'invention se rapporte donc à un appareil de transport pouvant présenter des objets selon une séquence déterminée avec précision et à une vitesse relativement élevée, et dont la fabrication est simple et peu coûteuse.

Abstract: Appareil de traitement de maladies de la prostate, telles que l'hypertrophie prostatique bénigne et le cancer de la prostate comprenant un cathéter urinaire (1) destiné à être inséré dans l'urètre prostatique; un ballonnet de dilatation (18) utilisé simultanément pour dilater l'urètre prostatique en vue de le soulager de toute constriction, généralement symptomatique de la plupart des maladies de la prostate, et pour comprimer les tissus prostatiques en vue de restreindre le flux sanguin vers lesdits tissus, ce qui réduit ainsi l'effet de dissipation thermique des tissus irrigués absorbant l'énergie thermique qui leur est appliquée et permet donc une plus grande uniformité de chauffe des tissus prostatiques malades cibles choisis ainsi qu'une réduction de la quantité de courant nécessaire pour fournir un niveau efficace d'énergie auxdits tissus; et une antenne à micro-ondes (22) destinée à appliquer l'énergie de micro-ondes aux tissus prostatiques malades cibles choisis de manière à y produire des effets hyperthermiques, causant ainsi une altération thérapeutique des cellules desdits tissus prostatiques. Un procédé de traitement des maladies de la prostate utilisant ledit appareil est également décrit.

Abstract: This invention concerns a scanning electrochemical microscope prove capable of measuring a specimen which does not have a smooth surface. The probe is insulated by a monomolecular adsorption film, a monomolecular laminated film, or polymer film (i.e., organic thin film). Its front end has the organic thin film removed by an electric field evaporation process to expose the metal wire, and the current is detected by this portion. Active hydrogen is present on the surface of the metal wire which preferably has a pointed end. A silane surfactant such as octadecyl trichlorosilane or the like is brought into contact with the metal wire surface to cause a dehydrochlorination reaction, thereby forming a monomolecular film, a monomolecular laminated film, or polymer film which is chemically adsorbed by colvant siloxane bonds to the surface of the metal. Only the front end portion of the metal wire is evaporated by the electric field, so that a probe with a very fine tip is obtained.
