Title: Using sub-threshold unipolar pacing markers to improve the interpretation of surface ekg in pacemaker patient
Inventor: SPINELLI JULIO C
IPC: A61B5/0402
Filed: 1994-10-05
Granted: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A pacemaker including a marker code generator generating marker codes between an indifferent electrode disposed on the pacemaker housing and the pacemaker can serving as a reference electrode. Marker code signals are generated proximate the pacemaker rather than proximate cardiac tissue, and thus can be generated at a large potential for sensing by surface EKG, and can also be generated simultaneously while pacing the heart and not necessarily in the refractory period. The pacemaker facilitates the interpretation of surface EKG, and can be sensed and recorded by commercially available two-channel holter monitors which can be taken home with the patient.      Thus, marker code signals can be sensed and recorded while at home and played back for the physician at a later time for analysis. The marker code generator can be selectively turned on by the external programmer such that battery life depreciation is not appreciable. The pacemaker can be adapted with either a unipolar or bipolar endocardial lead.

Granted: 2003-03-18
Abstract: A pressurized fluid dispensing nozzle (110') such as for LPG is screw-threadedly engageable with a tank inlet (192) such as on a vehicle. A sealing sleeve (154) carrying a nose piece (140') is biassed into abutment with a gasket (194) on a seal face (196) of the tank inlet and is urged rearwardly by the abutment. The sealing sleeve (154) is slidably mounted on a sealing member (136') which is urged rearwardly with the sealing sleeve (154) into a valve actuating condition. A trigger (118') is actuated to open a valve assembly (120') by shifting the valve assembly forwardly to bring a valve body (126') into abutment with an actuator (132') on the sealing member (136) which lifts the valve body off a valve seat (128'). The pressurized fluid passes along a passage (146') through the sealing member (136') to be dispensed but part of it enters a chamber (150) through ports (134'). The pressurized fluid in the chamber (150) acts on the sealing sleeve (154) to drive it into sealing engagement with the tank inlet gasket (194) or, if the gasket is missing, with the seal face (196).
