Patent EP-1207792-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BRANCH CHARLES L
IPC: A61B17/02
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: A surgical method for preparing a site for implantation of a spinal implant into a disc space in which the disc space is first distracted by a novel stepped distractor, followed by insertion of a novel guide sleeve including a proximal portion having an uninterrupted side wall and a distal portion having a side wall defining a longitudinal opening extending along its entire length. The guide sleeve is seated adjacent the disc space with the longitudinal opening positioned opposite the dural region of the spine to provide a working channel to the disc space. A cutting tool is then inserted through the guide sleeve to remove tissue and bone laterally extending into the interior of the guide sleeve through the longitudinal opening, but only as much as necessary for passage of the spinal implant. In a further embodiment, a protective barrier, including a pair of overlapping, flexible leaf members, is operably attached to the inside surface of the guide sleeve and positioned across the longitudinal opening to separate the inner region of the guide sleeve from the outer surgical environment.

Title: Reseau d'electrodes epousant la columelle
Inventor: BERRANG PETER
IPC: A61F11/04
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un réseau d'électrodes à configuration bipolaire multiple et des moyens permettant de placer de manière unique ce réseau à l'intérieur de la rampe cochléaire humaine. Ce réseau est inséré par un chirurgien à l'intérieur de la rampe tympanique, de la rampe vestibulaire ou des deux. Le réseau d'électrodes peut être préformé afin d'épouser légèrement la paroi d'une rampe, côté columelle, afin de positionner les électrodes à proximité de la lame spirale et du ganglion spiral cochléaires de la columelle. Des caractéristiques mécaniques de ce réseau permettent au chirurgien de le positionner ultérieurement, après insertion, contre la paroi de la rampe, côté columelle, et de maintenir mécaniquement cette position du réseau. Un tel positionnement est très proche des sites neuraux encore actifs dans les cellules de la lame spirale et/ou du ganglion spiral de la columelle et il permet de stimuler de manière efficace un fonctionnement des éléments neuraux de l'audition. La configuration d'électrodes bipolaires multiples permet d'obtenir un degré élevé de sélectivité spatiale, ce qui améliore la perception auditive du receveur d'implant.

Abstract: A smart card stores secure data, such as monetary values, and selectively transfers the secure data to or receives the secure data from a compatible smart card. The smart card includes a data storage device that stores the secure data. An identification input system receives identification input from a user. Control circuitry is responsive to the identification input to transfer secure data into the data storage device from a compatible smart card or to transfer secure data out of the data storage device to a compatible smart card when the control system determines from the identification input that the transfer is authorized. A data transfer interface in an edge of one card couples directly to a like interface in a slot of the other card to enable the secure data to be transferred between the two cards when the two cards are moved relative to each other.

Abstract: According to the invention, the method of driving a plasma
display panel uses a preconditioning ionization during each subscan with a
reduced light background. This method applies to the display-while-addressing
mode in which ionization pulses IP, address pulses AP and
erase pulses EP are superimposed on a sustain signal common to all the
lines of a PDP. The sustain signal according to the invention is a signal
