Abstract: A method for controlling the flow of liquid through a flexible tube in a blood collection set is provided. The set includes a venipuncture needle (12), a tube (14) for receiving blood and which provides branches to a blood collection container (18) and to a sampling pouch (20), a first flow control clamp (22) and an irreversibly closable flow control clamp (30) on the two branches. The method allows blood to flow from the tube (14) to the sampling pouch (20), irreversibly closing the flow control clamp (30) on the branch to the sampling pouch (20) whereby that flow-path is irreversibly closed and thereafter allowing blood to flow from the tube (14) to the collection (18) container via the other branch. The irreversibly closable flow control clamp (30) includes a flexible body (34) apertures (40, 44) and having two legs (36, 38) moveable between a spaced apart and a closed position, a tube contacting member (48) for clamping a tube passing through the apertures when the legs are in the closed position.

Abstract: Advanced implanted medical devices require long-lived, reliable power supplies. Lithium-ion batteries can be used to meet this need if they can be assured of maintaining a hermetic seal while implanted. The invention is a hermetic seal for a lithium-ion battery where the battery heater (5) is made of aluminum and the pin (1) is a conventional metal, such as platinum. The glass -to-metal seal utilizes low-temperature processable ALSG-32 glass, which has been demonstrated to bond to aluminum at temperatures below the melting point of aluminum and which has been demonstrated to exhibit excellent resistance to lithium battery electrolyte (9). ALSG­32 is a high phosphate glass having about 6.0% B2O3, 40.0% P2O5, 15.0% Na2O, 18.0% K2O, 9.0% PbO, and 12.0% Al2O3, expressed in mole percent.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un dispositif médical implantable et à un procédé correspondant, qui servent à évaluer le tonus autonome et les facteurs de risque associés à des arythmies et qui permettent, sur la base de cette évaluation, de prévoir la récurrence précoce d'une tachycardie précoce ventriculaire ou d'une fibrillation ventriculaire. Plus spécifiquement, les modifications de l'intervalle R-R, de la variabilité du rythme cardiaque, de l'activité du patient et de l'ischémie du myocarde sont mesurées avant et après un épisode d'arythmie détectée. Un score de récurrence est calculé sous la forme d'une somme pondérée de paramètres mesurés et comparée à un critère de prédiction. Ce critère de prédiction peut être un score seuil préfixé ou un modèle d'épisode individualisé basé sur des scores de récurrence préalablement calculés associés à des épisodes récurrents. Les paramètres stockés et les données relatives à ces épisodes peuvent être téléchargés pour des analyses hors ligne permettant d'optimiser les critères de prédiction et de suivre l'état du patient.

Abstract: A shoe insole ( 111 ) for diabetics is provided with a sole base body ( 136 ), a sole covering layer ( 137 ) and with a number of cushion-like layers ( 112, 113, 114, 115, 116 ) distributed over the surface of the sole. The cushion-like layers consist of at least one first cushion-like layer ( 112 ) in the forefoot joint area, a second cushion-like layer ( 113 ) in the midfoot/tarsus transition area, and of a third cushion-like layer ( 114 ) in the midfoot/heal transition area. These cushion-like layers serving to assist venous blood draining are each subdivided into individual plateau-like areas ( 118 to 127 ) that are adjacent in the transversal direction of the sole surface ( 117 ) while being separated from one another. The top side of the cushion-like layers also covered by the sole covering layer ( 137 ) is raised relative to the level of the top side of the sole base body ( 136 ). The aim of the invention is to provide a shoe insole of the aforementioned type that, while providing a lasting assistance of arterial inflow into the foot or foot sole area, has a continuing positive influence on the foot or foot sole areas endangered by a diabetic metabolic condition. To this end, at least one indentation ( 161, 162 ) is provided between the first cushion-like layer ( 112 ) in the forefoot joint area and the second cushion-like layer ( 113 ) in the midfoot/tarsus transition area. Said indentation serves to relieve the pressure on the midfoot bone capitulum(s) and emanates from the top side of the sole base body ( 136 ).

Abstract: A method of determining a vertical component of particle velocity from seismic data acquired using at least one receiver disposed within a water column includes determining the vertical component of particle velocity from the pressure at a first location and a second location. The first location is the location of a first receiver, and is vertically beneath the second location. The method uses an operator accurate for seismic data acquired at a vertical separation between the first and second locations of up to at least 0.4 times the minimum wavelength of seismic energy used to acquire the seismic data. The second location may be at or above the surface of the water column. Alternatively, the method may be applied to a twin streamer seismic surveying arrangement in which the second location is below the surface of the water column and is the location of a second receiver.

Abstract: A torque applying tool such as a nutrunner or torque wrench incorporates torque sensors responsive to strain in a shaft mounting an output square drive head the strain being measured as it exists immediately adjacent the drive head. The shaft is a hollow quill shaft an outer diameter of which is splined to receive a torque drive input at a location axially spaced from the drive head. A central shaft extends from the drive head centrally up the quill shaft and a flexible cantilever beam is mounted between a cranked end of the central shaft as it extends out of the quill shaft and the corresponding end of the quill shaft. One or more strain sensing transducers, preferably S.A.W. devices, are mounted on the cantilever beam to detect flexure of the beam, and the resulting output signal is passed through an inductive or capacitive coupling for transmission to a CPU and display.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for converting a network drawing from raster format to vector format. The method involves recognizing text within a raster image by using optical character recognition and a character set associated with the raster image. The recognized text is extracted from the raster image to produce a text-only raster image and a text-stripped raster image. The method further includes recognizing graphic objects within the text-stripped raster image by using pattern recognition with image-specific parameters to identify graphic objects. Recognized graphic objects are represented with vector graphical primitives to produce a text-stripped vector image. Vector text elements corresponding to the extracted text are added into the text-stripped vector image to produce a vector image that is substantially identical in appearance to the raster image. <IMAGE>
