Title: Foam extrusion apparatus and method
Inventor: PAGAN RAFAEL
IPC: B29C48/76
Filed: 1988-10-31
Abstract: A foam extrusion system and method employs a horizontal vacuum chamber (10) with a bulkhead (11) and extrusion die (16) at one end of the chamber, the extrusion die being inside the chamber when the bulkhead is closed. A liquid baffle, preferably water, is provided at the opposite end of the chamber through which the extrudate passes from the chamber to atmosphere. The baffle comprises a pond (30) of liquid having a higher level in the chamber and a lower level (31) outside the chamber. The higher level of the pond is formed between a dam plate (20) and a seal plate (12), the latter forming the opposite end of the chamber. The seal plate includes a size adjustable window (34) through which the extrudate passes, the extrudate being guided by a conveyor (43) to extend inclined downwardly into the pond and to exit through the seal plate and pond with a large radius upwardly curved section. The level of liquid in the chamber is controlled by circulating liquid (50, 51) from the higher level of the pond within the chamber to the lower level of the pond outside the chamber with the amount of liquid circulated being inversely proportional to the absolute pressure in the vacuum chamber. Optionally the circulated liquid may pass through a cooler (61) to control the liquid temperature. The size adjustment of the window or exit orifice in the seal plate may be used to control the flow of liquid from the lower level pond portion outside the chamber to the higher level pond portion inside the chamber, particularly during start up.

Title: Method and apparatus for the non-invasive detection of medical conditions by monitoring peripheral arterial tone
Inventor: GOOR DANIEL A
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1997-07-23
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for non-invasive detection of a physiological state or medical condition are disclosed. The method provides an indication of such state or condition such as myocardial ischemia or sleep apnea, by detecting the peripheral arterial tone's response to such state or condition, based on monitoring changes in peripheral arterial tone and determining that a change in the condition of the patient has occurred when a specific change in the peripheral arterial tone has been detected. A static pressure field is applied around the distal part of a digit of the subject. Peripheral arterial tone changes and related volume changes in the distal part of the digit are detected to thereby detect or monitor a physiological state or medical condition. The apparatus includes a finger probe (20), in the form of a tube (3) accommodating the patient's finger, which is designed to apply pressure, and a contiguous pressure cuff (40) which extends the boundary of the pressure field. The finger probe (2) either includes or is associated with a signal sensor/transducer (100, 101).

Title: Shaped electrodes and methods for electrosurgical cutting and ablation
Inventor: EGGERS PHILIP E
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: An electrosurgical system and method allow the surgical team to perform electrosurgical interventions, such as ablation and cutting of body structures, while limiting the depth of necrosis and limiting damage to tissue adjacent the treatment site. The system includes an electrosurgical probe having a shaft with a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one active electrode at or near the distal end. The active electrode includes at least one active portion having a surface geometry configured to promote substantially high electric field intensities and associated current densities between the active portion and the target site when a high frequency voltage is applied to the electrodes. These high electric field intensities and current densities are sufficient to break down the tissue by processes including molecular dissociation or disintegration. The high frequency voltage imparts energy to the target site to ablate a thin layer of tissue without causing substantial tissue necrosis beyond the boundary of the thin layer of tissue ablated. This ablative process can be precisely controlled to effect the volumetric removal of tissue as thin as a few layers of cells with minimal heating of or damage to surrounding or underlying tissue structures.
