Patent EP-1272110-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LEEFLANG STEPHEN A
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: Devices, methods, kits, and methods remove obstructive material from the vasculature and other body lumens. Expansible baskets may be used as cooperating radially expansible shearing members. Helically oriented struts of each basket may wind in a uniform circumferential direction. The struts can be independently flexible, allowing the shearing members to flex axially together. The inner basket may be rotatably driven and may use an axial pump extending proximally from the shearing members and/or a distal penetrator for advancing into an occlusion which inhibits guidewire access. The struts may slide substantially continuously across each other, and may be sufficiently aggressive for highly effective thrombectomy. A rotationally static and axially flexible outer basket may provide a safe, limited atherectomy treatment.

Inventor: BLYTH TREVOR
IPC: G11C16/02
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: La réduction de la taille des blocs ou pages (34) contenus dans une mémoire EEPROM FLASH (30) devant être effacée au cours d'une opération d'écriture ou d'effacement, permet de réduire la taille du registre nécessaire, ce qui facilite la gestion par l'unité de traitement de blocs d'informations plus petits (8 octets), et permet de réduire la taille et la complexité du microprocesseur et d'accroître la résistance de la mémoire EEPROM FLASH, cette dernière pouvant ainsi être utilisée à la place d'une EEPROM classique. Le remplacement d'une ROM masquée par une EEPROM FLASH permet de tester complètement la zone de stockage de codes et permet également aux clients d'utiliser cet espace pour les essais au cours de leurs procédures de fabrication. Le code utilisé pour les essais peut être effacé et reprogrammé, l'étape finale de stockage du code ayant lieu avant l'expédition finale.

to decrease the number of maintenance men required for an X-ray
CT apparatus mounting the X-ray generator, to improve the
reliability and to decrease the installation space, the X-ray
generator comprises power transfer means for receiving electric
power from an AC power source and for transferring it, a converter
for converting an AC voltage transferred from the power transfer
means into a DC voltage, an inverter for converting the DC voltage
of the converter into an alternating current, a high-voltage
transformer for boosting the AC voltage converted by the inverter,
rectifier means for rectifying the output voltage of the
high-voltage transformer into a direct current, and an X-ray
tube connected to the rectifier means. The X-ray generator
is mounted on a scanner rotating unit of the X-ray CT apparatus.
The converter comprises a full-wave rectifier circuit
constituted by self-extinguishing switches, inductors
connected to the phases at the AC input terminals of the full-wave
rectifier circuit, and a converter controller which so controls
the self-extinguishing switches that the phase is brought into
agreement between the phase current and the phase voltage of
the AC power source and that the output voltage of the full-wave
rectifier circuit is brought into agreement with a target voltage.
The inverter comprises zero-voltage switching means for turning
the switching element on and off by setting the voltage of the 
switching element to be nearly zero at the time when the
semiconductor switching element constituting the inverter is
turned on and off, current free-wheeling means for free-wheeling
the current flowing into the zero-voltage switching means when
the zero-voltage switching means is shut off, and control means
for controlling the timing for turning the switching element
of the inverter on and off in response to signals for setting
the voltage to be applied to the X-ray tube and for setting
the current to be fed to the X-ray tube.

Abstract: The segment volume of a cardiac chamber or blood vessel of a patient is determined by injecting a first indicator in the blood stream of a patient, which influences the conductance of the blood. The electrical conductance in the cardiac chamber or blood vessel is measured. An injected quantity of indicator is determined and the development of the concentration of this indicator in the blood is measured wherein the cardiac output is calculated from the injected quantity of indicator and the development of the concentration in the blood. Subsequently, the segment volume and electrical parallel conductance of a cardiac chamber or blood vessel are calculated from the calculated cardiac output, the injected quantity of conductance indicator and the measured conductance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de mesure de gaz fluides monté dans une conduite menant depuis une source de gaz vers un site utilisateur et sert à mesurer le flux de gaz acheminé à l'utilisateur dans une vaste gamme de taux de débits, définie par une bande à faible débit à l'extrémité inférieure de la gamme, une bande à débit moyen au milieu de la gamme et une bande à débit élevé à son extrémité supérieure. Le système comprend une chambre d'entrée qui reçoit un flux de gaz sous pression depuis la source et une chambre de sortie depuis laquelle le gaz est acheminé jusqu'à l'utilisateur. Trois canaux d'écoulement de gaz relient ces chambres entre elles. Le premier canal est défini par un premier générateur de fluides, qui fonctionne uniquement lorsque le débit du gaz se trouve dans la bande à faible débit, de manière à émettre des impulsions périodiques dont la fréquence est proportionnelle au débit; le deuxième canal est défini par un deuxième générateur de fluides, qui fonctionne uniquement lorsque le débit du gaz se trouve dans la bande à débit moyen, de manière à émettre des impulsions périodiques dont la fréquence est proportionnelle au débit; le troisième canal est défini par une conduite de dérivation, qui fonctionne uniquement lorsque le débit du gaz se trouve dans la bande à débit élevé, de manière à séparer le flux de gaz entre les deuxième et troisième canaux, le deuxième générateur mesurant ensuite le débit dans la deuxième bande. Les impulsions périodiques générées par les premier et deuxième générateurs sont traitées et totalisées pour donner des indications précises du gaz consommé par l'utilisateur sur toute la gamme.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for processing tea tree product, in
particularly, a method for processing tea flower. The process comprises of the
following steps: picking, dehydrating, steaming, drying, quick-freezing and
pulverizing of the tea flowers. The picking step is preferably carried out in the time
interval beginning from 2 - 3 days before the pollination of the tea flower to 2 - 3
days after the pollination of the tea flower. Hollow baskets made of bamboo or
plastics are used to accommodate the picked tea flowers during the picking and the
said tea flowers must be immediately graded and spread. In the dehydrating step,
the said tea flowers should be spread at a thickness of 2 - 5 cm on bamboo mat or
cement floor and should be gently turned over once every 1 hour. The time of
dehydrating for the spread fresh flowers does not exceed 10 hours and the most
preferred spreading time is 6 hours. Having been dehydrated, the tea flowers are
steamed. A steamer for tea preparation is used directly and the temperature
heating the flowers is controlled in a range of 80 - 100°C; The drying step is carried
out in several times and most preferably in 3 - 4 times. The temperature of drying
is controlled in a range of 60 - 180°C. The thickness of the flower on the baking
plate of the dryer is in the range of 2 - 3 cm. After every drying, the tea flowers are
taken out of the dryer and spread until cool. The time for spreading cool should be
getting longer and longer each time. In the quick-freezing step, the tea flowers are
quick-frozen at -20°C to -40°C for 20 minutes. In the pulverizing step, the quick-frozen
flowers are taken out of the freezer and immediately put into pulverizer to be
pulverized. The whole production process is conducted in a natural way and no
chemical reaction or chemical extraction is involved. Therefore natural nutrients
and different kinds of effective ingredients of the tea flowers could be preserved to
a maximum degree.
