Patent EP-0734220-B1 (EP)
Inventor: JOHNSON JOEL C
IPC: A61B5/117

Abstract: An optical scanner (100) includes a rotating scanner disk (116) that integrates a multifocal Fresnel fixation lens (114), a Fresnel optical scanner (122, 124), and an angular position encoder (140) into a unitary, inherently aligned, compression-molded component. An individual being identified views through the multifocal Fresnel fixation lens an image of a pinhole (108) illuminated by a light source (104). The multifocal lens is centered on the disk and creates multiple in- and out-of-focus images (180, 182, 184, 186) of the pinhole image. The combined image appears to the individual as a set of circular images (190, 192, 194, 196), one of which is in focus. The images appear concentric when the individual is properly aligned with the disk and associated optics. The Fresnel optical scanner receives IR light from the light source and creates an IR scanning beam (126) when the disk is rotated. IR light reflected by the fundus (12) of the individual returns via a reciprocal path, by way of a beam splitter (112), and into a detector (134) to generate image data. The disk integrates and inherently aligns multiple optical elements, resulting in a 60 percent reduction of optical components relative to prior scanners.

Abstract: A method of transdermal molecular delivery comprises the steps of encapsulating molecules to be delivered in a vesicle, contacting a selected area of a tissue surface with a solution of the vesicles, and applying a pulsed electric field of sufficient amplitude to induce dielectric breakdown of the stratum corneum and to induce transport of the intact vesicle through the pores in the stratum corneum into the underlying tissue to enable diffusion of molecules into the tissue.

Abstract: Un résonateur (1) vibre à une fréquence proche de sa fréquence de résonance. La vibration est excitée par un transducteur ou un premier transducteur (2) raccordé à un oscillateur (11). La vibration est mesurée par le transducteur (2) ou un second transducteur (3) et est stabilisé par une boucle de réaction à verrouillage de phase comprenant un détecteur de phase (33), une unité de commande par réaction (36), un déphaseur (17) et un dispositif (15) évaluant les fréquence mesurées. Afin de mesurer l'amortissement du résonateur (1), la phase du déphaseur (17) est alternativement positionnée sur deux valeurs différentes. La différence entre les fréquences correspondant à ces deux valeurs de phase est une mesure de l'amortissement du système. Un ou plusieurs commutateurs (19, 28, 27) et un générateur de déblocage de porte (16) permettent de s'assurer que l'excitation et la mesure n'auront pas lieu au même moment. Ainsi, toute diaphonie se produisant entre des transducteurs de commande et de détection est totalement éliminée. De plus, un seul transducteur peut être utilisé pour exciter et mesurer à la fois la vibration. De cette façon, une mise en place d'un transducteur très compact peut être effectuée, et la précision et la plage de la mesure améliorées.

Abstract: A system and method for cardiac mapping and ablation include a multi-electrode catheter introduced percutaneously into a subject's heart and deployable adjacent to various endocardial sites. The electrodes are connectable to a mapping unit, an ablation power unit, a pacing unit, all of which are under computer control. Intracardiac electrogram signals emanated from a tachycardia site of origin are detectable by the electrodes. Their arrival times are processed to generate various visual maps to provide real-time guidance for steering the catheter to the tachycardia site of origin. In another aspect, the system also includes a physical imaging system which is capable of providing different imaged physical views of the catheter and the heart. These physical views are incorporated into the various visual maps to provide a more physical representation. Once the electrodes are on top of the tachycardia site of origin, electrical energy is supplied by the ablation power unit to effect ablation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé de fabrication d'un dispositif à semi-conducteur, dans lequel des éléments de commutation semi-conducteurs (2) et un microcomposant intégré (3), ayant une électrode fixe (6) et une électrode (7) qui est mobile par rapport à l'électrode fixe (6), sont disposés adjacents à une surface d'une tranche de semi-conducteur (1), laquelle est ensuite subdivisée en dispositifs à semi-conducteur individuels. Selon cette invention, ledit procédé se caractérise en ce que, après que les éléments de commutation semi-conducteurs (2) ont été formés, des pistes conductrices en métal (20) d'un premier niveau sont disposées sur la surface de la tranche, formant ainsi l'électrode fixe (6) et des connexions électriques (9), par dessus lesquelles sont disposées une couche isolante (21) et des pistes conductrices en métal (22) d'un second niveau, lesquelles forment l'électrode mobile (7) et d'autres connexions électriques (8), puis la couche isolante (21) entre l'électrode fixe (6) et l'électrode mobile (7) est enlevée. Dans ce procédé, les éléments de commutation semi-conducteurs (2) sont donc fabriqués d'abord, et le microcomposant (3) est fabriqué ultérieurement, pendant l'application de la métallisation du dispositif. Dès lors que les électrodes (6, 7) du microcomposant sont fabriquées au moyen de pistes conductrices (20, 22) aux deux niveaux de métallisation, il suffit d'adapter la phase de métallisation (partie terminale) du processus de fabrication uniquement pour la création d'un microcomposant (3). Un procédé standard peut ainsi être appliqué pour la fabrication des éléments semi-conducteurs (2). La fabrication dudit dispositif devient ainsi plus simple et moins coûteuse.

Abstract: A unique filtration method and device (10) which continuously removes several gas phase contaminants from an air stream through the use of partially hollow wicking fibers (20) impregnated with a selected liquid which can capture the gas phase contaminants. The wicking fibers (20) are generally disposed parallel and are formed into a filter element (12) which extends from the air stream to be cleaned into another air stream which can strip and carry away the unwanted gas phase contaminants. The gas phase contaminants are conveyed to the stripping air stream by a concentration factor induced molecular migration. The air stream to be cleaned is directed through a compartment (16) across which the filter element (12) extends so the complete air flow is through filter element (12). Filter element (12) also extends into another compartment (18) through which the stripping air stream flows. The wicking fibers (20) include internal longitudinal cavities (22) each with a relatively small longitudinal extending opening (24). The wicking fibers (20) are filled with the selected contaminant removing liquid through capillary action by which the individual wicking fibers (20) rapidly draw the selected liquid, with which they come into contact, through the internal cavities (22). The absorption liquid remains within the wicking fiber cavities (22) and generally does not enter the space between the wicking fibers yet through the longitudinal openings (24) the liquid is in full communication with the air stream flowing past the fibers (20).
