Patent EP-1503685-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DIEDERICH CHRIS J
IPC: A61N7/02
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: A long-term implantable ultrasound therapy system (11) and method is provided that provides directional, focused ultrasound to localized regions of tissue within body joints, such as spinal joints. An ultrasound emitter or transducer (16) is delivered to a location within the body associated with the joint and heats the target region of tissue associated with the joint from the location. Such locations for ultrasound transducer placement may include for example in or around the intervertebral discs (1), or the bony structures such as vertebral bodies or posterior vertebral elements such as facet joints. Various modes of operation provide for selective, controlled heating at different temperature ranges to provide different intended results in the target tissue, which ranges are significantly affected by pre-stressed tissues such as in-vivo intervertebral discs. In particular, treatments above 70 degrees C, and in particular 75 degrees C, are used for structural remodeling, whereas lower temperatures achieves other responses without appreciable remodeling.

Abstract: Les procédés et instrumentations fondés sur le concept d'un «principe absolu» sont relativement rares, mais offrent, lorsqu'ils sont applicables, des avantages uniques. Cette invention apprend comment automatiser l'utilisation d'un ajustement de courbe non linéaire afin d'élargir ce concept, par détermination de propriétés multiples et par traitement systématique de relations plus complexes entre les entités, plutôt que par détermination des propriétés d'une seule entité. A titre d'exemple d'application possible, l'invention a trait en outre à l'analyse de la composition de l'eau, en ce qui concerne les espèces inorganiques et organiques, et à l'utilisation de mesures de conductivité en fonction de la température ou du rapport de mélange avec un autre fluide.

Abstract: In a known copy protection process for preventing recording of video
signals, pseudo sync and AGC pulses (Fig. 2) are present on predetermined
lines within the blanking intervals of the video signal so that any subsequent
video signal shows a picture of very low entertainment quality. The location of
the video lines containing the copy protection is determined by using the color
burst signal or chroma in the horizontal blanking interval. Then some or all of the
lines including copy protection signals may be modified so as to render the
overall video signal recordable. In an embodiment, a copy protected video signal
is input to a chroma band pass amplifier (16) whose output is applied to a
chroma envelope detector (20). The output chroma envelope signal is used to
generate a non-retriggerable one shot pulse, and a retriggerable one shot pulse.
The retriggerable one shot pulse is applied to a multi line one shot pulse
generator (26) to generate a multi line one shot pulse. The non-retriggerable one
shot pulse and the multi line one shot pulse are then anded to produce a control
signal representing the location of the copy protection pulses.

Abstract: A secondary lithium cell in which the anode is made by first taking an electrode comprising a material which undergoes a structural change when it is first charged and discharged such as a layer of tin, assembling a cell comprising the said anode, a cathode containing lithium ions, and an electrolyte containing lithium ions, passing an electric current through the cell so as to insert lithium ions into the material e.g. tin and so charge the cell, and then discharging the cell. This cell is then dismantled, and the anode removed and any electrolyte washed off. The layer of tin or other material is then coated with a layer comprising a polymeric material. This coated and pre-cycled electrode can then be used as an anode in a secondary lithium cell. The polymeric coating, which may be a microporous polymer, a plasticised polymer, as gel polymer, or a polymeric electrolyte, for example based on polyvinylidene fluoride, suppresses the deterioration in cell performance on subsequent cycling.
