Title: Imaging technique for use with optical mems devices
Inventor: GILES RANDY CLINTON
IPC: B81C3/00
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: Using an imaging system, an optical MEMS devices is imaged so that in combination with an actual one or more other optical MEMS devices, or images thereof, a single virtual optical MEMS device is formed that has the size of each of the optical MEMS devices combined. The physical size of the arrangement may be reduced by compacting the optical path, e.g., using appropriate conventional mirrors, and/or employing folded arrangements, i.e., arrangements in which there is only one MEMS device stage that does double duty for both input and output through the use of at least one conventional mirror. The imaging system may reproduce the angle of reflection of the light from the micro mirror, e.g., using a telecentric system. A prism may be employed to align the various optical MEMS devices, or images thereof.

Title: Transfer of security association during a mobile terminal handover
Inventor: HANSEN HARRI
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: An existing security association is re-established when a communication handover event occurs in a radio communications system such as IEEE 082.11 o r a HIPERLAN wherein the existing security association between a mobile termin al and a wireless communication network is maintained when the communication handover occurs within the network. Authentication during a handover event i s achieved by a challenge/response procedure. In accordance with the challenge/response procedure each member of a communication pair that is mad e up of a new access point and the mobile terminal that is experiencing a handover to the new access point sends a challenge to the other member of th e communication pair. Each member of the communication pair then calculates a response to its received challenge, and these responses are sent back to the  other member of the communication pair. Each member of the communication pai r then compares its received response to a correct response. When these comparisons are correct, payload communication begins between the second access point and the mobile terminal.
Patent CA-2392313-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN JAMES
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: A photodynamic therapy (PDT) device (20) utilizes a non-coherent light sourc e (22) to activate a photoreactive agent for treating a diseased site in a patient's eye (10). When activated, the photoreactive agent causes a desired  change in the diseased tissue of the treatment site. In one embodiment, the photoreactive agent is preferentially absorbed by the diseased tissue at the  treatment site, and the light from the PDT device (20) is directed generally  at the site. In another embodiment, the photoreactive agent is less selectively absorbed by the diseased tissue, and the light from the PDT devi ce (20) is focused onto the diseased treatment site. The device preferably focuses the light emitted by a source using totally internally reflective (TIR) lenses (14), convergent lenses (24), divergent lenses, and/or deformab le lenses. One embodiment incorporates a plurality of light sources of differen t wavebands, including a waveband that does not activate the photoreactive agent, so that the light source can be used to precisely target the focal point at the desired treatment site. Once targeted, a light source is energized to produce light in a waveband that activates the photoreactive agent and can penetrate different depths of tissue. The PDT device (20) can be incorporated into a headset or in an ophthalmic slit lamp.

Title: Device for carrying out work on a surface
Inventor: KONRAD JURGEN
IPC: A47L11/40
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: For treating a surface (1) by means of a device (2) that is drawn to the surface by negative pressure it is usually necessary to guide a treatment device across the surface (1) at a defined load pressure.

Title: Mri guided hyperthermia surgery
Inventor: MCTAGGART KEN J
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: An MRI guided surgical apparatus includes a heat source formed by a laser (21) and an optical (20) fiber carrying the heat energy into a part to be coagulated by hyperthermia with an end reflector to direct the energy in a beam to one side of the fiber end. A reinforcing sleeve (38) for the fiber is mounted in a shielded, Piezo-electric motor (22) which causes movement of the fiber longitudinally and angularly within a rigid elongate cannula. A magnetic resonance imaging system is arranged to generate a series of output signals over a period of time representative of temperature in the part as the temperature of the part changes during that time. The heat source is controlled in heat energy applied and location and orientation of the beam to stop heating when the temperature at the boundary of a tumor reaches the required hyperthermic temperature. Cooling of the tip portion of the probe can be effected by encasing the fiber in a tubing material defining a duct for the fiber and supply and return parallel ducts for cooling fluid, the tubing being encased in a titanium stiffening sleeve which is driven in the longitudinal and rotational directions to move the fiber tip.
