Patent EP-0859971-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NOTTEN PETRUS HENRICUS LAURENT
IPC: G02F1/1524
Filed: 1997-06-23
Abstract: A description is given of an electro-optical switching device (1) comprising a transparent substrate (3), a switching layer (5) of yttrium hydride as a first electrode, a palladium layer (7), an electrolyte layer of, e.g. Ta2O5 (9), a layer of WO3 hydride as the second electrode (11), and a transparent ITO-layer (13). Under the influence of a potential difference or direct current between the electrodes (5 and 11), the yttrium hydride is electrochemically converted from a low-hydrogen-content state to a high-hydrogen-content state, or vice versa. The conversion between both compositions is reversible, and is accompanied by a change in optical transmission. Apart from Y, other trivalent metals may be used, such as Gd and La.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un disque optique qui utilise un format unique intersillon et piste, permettant la correction précise du décalage de lecture et une détection fiable du point de transition entre un intersillon et une piste, ainsi que le mécanisme d'entraînement associé. Quatre zones d'adresse physique (PID1, PID2, PID3, PID4) s'enregistrent dans une zone d'en-tête, de façon que les zones PID1 et PID2 soient décalées d'un intervalle égal à une demi-piste vers la circonférence externe du disque à partir du centre de la piste, que les zones PID3 et PID4 soient décalées d'une demi-piste vers la circonférence interne du disque depuis le centre de la piste, et que les zones d'adresse physique PID1-PID4 puissent être détectées au moyen d'un signal de différence dans la direction radiale. L'unique zone de motif de fréquence (VFO) au début de chaque zone PID est allongée par les zones PID1 et PID3, ce qui permet de corriger le décalage de lecture au moyen d'un signal de somme, et de détecter le point de transition intersillon-piste au moyen d'un signal de différence obtenu à partir du décalage de PID.

IPC: H03H7/40
Filed: 1997-06-11
Abstract: An apparatus for matching the variable impedance of a load with the fixed impedance of a radio frequency (RF) power generator to provide maximum power transfer. The impedance matching network further allows an RF power generator to vary the frequency of the voltage applied to a load, e.g., a plasma chamber as may be utilized in semiconductor or flat panel plasma display manufacturing processes. The impedance matching network further utilizes fixed solid state components to adjust the impedance of the attached load to provide maximum power transfer between the generator and the load. A parallel switched capacitor network is controlled by an electrical switching means such as PIN diodes to turn fixed capacitors on or off. A means for varying the frequency of the applied voltage is used to match the impedance of the load with the impedance of the RF power generator within milliseconds.

Abstract: An implantable sensing device includes a sensing element and a mounting element. The mounting element has a first end and a second end with a longitudinal axis therethrough. The sensing element is positioned at the first end of the mounting element with the mounting element having a length that is adjustable along the longitudinal axis. The mounting element includes a sleeve having a first open end and a second open end with the longitudinal axis therethrough. The sensing element is positioned in the second open end and includes a lead body connected thereto extending through the second open end. The sleeve includes an outer sleeve member coupled for adjustment along the longitudinal axis with respect to an inner sleeve member. Further, the mounting element may include a flexible element about the first open end extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis and a flange element extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis from at least a portion of the second end. The device can be implanted in a bone with the flange element and the flexible element for direct or indirect contact with the anterior and posterior surface of the bone. A method of implanting the sensor includes providing a sensing element and drilling a hole in a bone. The hole extends to the intrathoracic cavity. The sensing element is inserted into the hole and positioned in communication with a region in the intrathoracic cavity. The hole is drilled in the manubrium. When the flexible element is inserted into the hole, the flexible element about the first open end collapses towards the longitudinal axis and when the sensor mounting assembly is removed from the hole, the flexible element collapses towards the longitudinal axis during removal. Methods for providing stimulation of a patient to treat respiratory disorders using the sensor are also provided as are stimulation systems for providing stimulation of a patient to treat respiratory disorders.

Dans certains cas, les troisième et quatrième bras ultrasoniques peuvent souder par ultrasons des parties des première et deuxième bandes qui ont déjà été soudées entre elles par l'un des bras ou par l'ensemble des premier et deuxième bras ultrasoniques. Selon d'autres réalisations, il peut y avoir plusieurs soudures successives sur un même segment de bande. Dans d'autres réalisations, un large fragment de matière apte à être soudée telle que des fibres peut être consolidé par soudure ultrasonique à l'aide des bras ultrasoniques de façon à former une bande unitaire.
