Patent EP-1438029-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MILLER MICHAEL E
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: Systems and methods for non-vascular sensor implantation and for accurately measuring a physiological parameter in areas of a body where amounts of the physiological parameter are heterogeneous. An implant unit (10) is implanted in an area of a body and a foreign body capsule is allowed to form around the area of the implant unit. A sensor may be directed into a body cavity such as, for example, the peritoneal space, subcutaneous tissues, the foreign body capsule, or other area of the body. A subcutaneous area of the body may be tunneled to place the sensor. A plurality of spatially separated sensing elements may be used for detecting individual amounts of the physiological parameter. An overall amount of the physiological parameter may be determined by calculating a statistical measurement of the individual sensed amounts in the area may be determined based on the sensed amounts.

Abstract: An electron collector assembly for an electron beam tube comprises an electron collector (2), which is at least partially surrounded by dielectric material, such as a dielectric fluid (5). A heat pipe (6), in communication with the dielectric fluid, is provided. Heat energy from the collector is transferred to the dielectric fluid, and hence to the heat pipe. By pumping coolant through the heat pipe, heat energy is removed from the vicinity of the collector. Previous proposals for cooling electron collectors necessarily involved non-conducting fluids as coolants. The provision of a dielectric fluid as an intermediary between the collector and the heat pipe allows greater freedom in the choice of coolant.
