Title: Bronchiopulmonary occlusion devices and lung volume reduction methods
Inventor: SHAW DAVID PETER
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: Lung volume reduction is performed by the placement of a device (2) into a branch of the airway (34) to prevent air from entering that portion of lung.  This will result in adsorption atelectasis of the distal portion of lung. The physiological response in this portion of lung is hypoxic vasoconstriction.  The net effect is for a portion of lung to be functionally removed, i.e. a selected portion of lung is removed from both the circulation and ventilation.  The build up of secretions is accommodated by using a valve (5, 15, 29) in the obstructive device, the valve opening upon coughing etc.

Abstract: A side-looking NMR logging tool incorporates a permanent magnet arrangement (1) having a magnetization direction oriented towards a side of the tool and a dipole RF antenna (10) displaced towards the front of the tool. The magnetic arrangement produces a shaped region of investigation in front of the tool wherein the magnetic field has a uniform field strength and the RF field has a uniform field strength in a direction orthogonal to the static field. The shaping of the static field is accomplished by the magnet arrangement comprising a plurality of magnets (8) having parallel magnetization or by a single shaped magnet (8). The antenna arrangement includes gapped core made of non-ferritic soft material for increasing antenna efficiency. The magnet arrangement also reduces ringing in the core and the antenna. An optional RF  shield is used to reduce NMR signals from borehole fluids.
