Patent EP-0858774-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RITCHART MARK
IPC: A61B10/02
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: This invention provides an inventive tissue sampling probe which offers many
advantages over probes available in the prior art. Unexpectedly superior results are
obtained in connection with the retrieval of intact tissue specimens, because of a unique
combination of cutting features, including, in particular, the employment of an
electrosurgical cutting element which is extendible to permit ready severance of the
distal end of the tissue specimen, without impact to surrounding tissue. Additionally,
the inventive instrument is advantageously designed so that portions of the instrument
which contact the patient's tissue or fluid discharge (i.e. blood) during a procedure are
modular and disposable, to permit ready replacement of those portions with a new
module for an ensuing procedure, without the necessity of cleaning and sterilizing the
instrument. The versatility of the invention permits its use in many applications,
including, for example, breast biopsies, intraoperative staging, laparoscopic surgery,
and lymphadenectomy procedures.

Abstract: A passive polarisation modulating optical element comprises a layer 11 of birefringent
material. The layer 11 has substantially fixed birefringence and comprises retarder
regions 12 and 13 forming a regular pattern, for instance to act as a parallax barrier for
a 3D display. The retarders 12 and 13 have optic axes aligned in different directions
from each other. The element may be associated with a polariser 14, for instance an
output polariser of a liquid crystal device, with the polarising direction of the polariser
14 being parallel to the optic axis of the retarders 12. Thus, the retarders 12 have no
effect on light passing through the element 11 whereas the retarders 13 act as half
waveplates and rotate the polarisation vector of light passing therethrough, for
instance by 90°.

Patent EP-0899658-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SNIDER GREGORY S
IPC: G06F9/00
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: A computer system (100) uses a layer of software (101) between the
operating system (103) and the hardware (102) that localises the fail-safe protocols
into a single module. The system also uses shared memory allocation functions as
the interface with the operating system (103). The memory allocation function
creates data structures (200) to satisfy the requests of the operating system (103).
The system also has a data structure locking mechanism to prevent more than one
processor (105) from writing to the data structure (200) at a time. This layer (103)
isolates and hides the complexities of the underlying hardware (102) and memory
sharing, and presents a simpler view of the hardware (102) as a single system to
the operating system (103) that resides above it. Since all of the fail-safe code is in
one single module, rather than distributed throughout the operating system (103), it
is easier to test and verify its correct operation, as well as maintain the operating
system (103).

Abstract: Output gray value image is further processed to produce an evaluation gray value image that is examined for any defects indications. When a defect image is revealed the process steps for gray value image and enhanced gray value image are repeated. Process involves illuminating the test object with coherent light, using two beam interferometer for division of the back scattered light into two separate beams, shearing of one beam against the other, and phase shifting of one beam relative to the other. The two beams form a test object image. Image is formed by digital process involving generation of a modulo 2 pi image. Back-scattered radiation is fed to electronic image sensor system, and a modulo 2 pi image is formed which is then used to generate a gray value image.
