Title: Device and method for underskin laser treatments
Inventor: DEL GIGLIO ANTONIO
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2000-07-07
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: The present invention describes a device, a method for under-skin laser treatment that is minimally invasive, versatile and precise. The invention allows for under-skin laser treatment with only minimal insertions into the area of treatment. For example, an entire area may be treated with one insertion. The invention incorporates a standard insertion component (204) making the system inexpensive, and easy for doctors to use. In addition, the invention allows users to get in direct contact with the treatment site, eliminating deleterious side effects encountered when treatment is administered to the skin surface. The invention has applications in several areas of treatment. First, under-skin treatment of aesthetic skin blemishes such as sagging, and wrinkles can be performed with minimal external effects. Laser power is delivered directly beneath the skin, by passing harmful exposure of the skin surface to the radiation. Second, common vascular abnormalities such as capillary disorders, spider nevus, hemangioma, and varicose veins can be selectively eliminated. The device allows a simple, single insertion per treated structure, and specific laser delivery. The needle (204) is inserted in the vascular structure (208). Any abnormalities are eradicated starting from the source, and continuing through the entire structure. Third, when coupled with x-ray imaging, the present invention may be used to treat various internal body structures for example during surgery. X-ray imaging allows the user to orient the device within the body structures. Laser delivery treatment can then be administered as described above.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for continuous variable reactive impedance control. The apparatus and method enable the continuous variation of the reactive impedance of an oscillating circuit. A reactive component, in one embodiment a capacitor, is switched into the oscillating circuit for a duration at the beginning and end of each half cycle of the oscillation frequency. Through varying the duration, the oscillation frequency is varied between the frequency that occurs without the reactive component in the circuit and the frequency with the reactive component permanently in the circuit. A controller determines the duration and controls a switch coupled to the reactive component. The apparatus and method may be used to adjust the oscillation frequency of a resonant circuit or to match the resonant frequency to a driving frequency in a driven oscillating circuit so as to improve efficiency.

Granted: 2010-09-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés, un appareil et un programme informatique qui fournissent des techniques efficaces pour concevoir et imprimer des coquilles de prothèses auditives avec un degré élevé de garantie de qualité et de fiabilité et par un nombre réduit d'étapes et d'opérations de production manuelles et longues. Ces techniques produisent en outre des coquilles de prothèses auditives ayant des volumes intérieurs proches d'un taux maximal permis de volume intérieur par rapport au volume extérieur. Ces volumes intérieurs élevés facilitent l'introduction de composants électriques de prothèses auditives ayant des degrés de fonctionnalité supérieurs et/ou l'utilisation de coquilles de prothèses auditives plus petites et plus discrètes. Un procédé préféré consiste à générer un modèle numérique étanche de coquille de prothèse auditive en épaississant un modèle numérique tridimensionnel d'une surface de coquille d'une manière qui élimine les auto-intersections et aboutit à un modèle plus épais ayant un volume intérieur représentant un pourcentage élevé d'un volume extérieur du modèle. Cette opération d'épaississement consiste de préférence à épaissir de façon non uniforme le modèle numérique d'une surface de coquille autour d'une trajectoire dirigée qui identifie l'emplacement d'un évent de prothèse auditive subsurface. Cette trajectoire dirigée peut être dessinée sur la surface de coquille par un technicien (p. ex. un orthoprothésiste) ou un opérateur de CAD, par exemple. Les opérations sont ensuite exécutées pour générer un modèle numérique d'un évent de prothèse auditive subsurface dans le modèle plus épais de la surface de coquille, à un emplacement proche de la trajectoire dirigée.

Title: Apparatus and method for power dissipation reduction in a communication system
Inventor: HATAMIAN MEHDI
IPC: H04L27/01
Filed: 1999-03-08
Granted: 2009-01-06
Abstract: A method for reducing power dissipation within a communications system having a plurality of adaptive filters with a plurality of taps, each tap switchable between an active and an inactive state and each having a coefficient. The method involves specifying an acceptable error for the system, and setting a tap threshold for each active tap. For each active tap, those taps having a coefficient with an absolute value less than the tap threshold set for the active tap are deactivated. A system error is computed and compared to the acceptable system error. If the computed system error is less than the acceptable system error, the tap threshold for each active tap is increased. The above process is repeated until the computed system error approaches the acceptable system error without exceeding the acceptable system error.

Abstract: A synchronous change data capture system and methodology are described in which, for each statement of a transaction, a transaction identifier (233, 241) that uniquely identifies each transaction is recorded along with the change data (231). When the transaction is committed, the transaction identifier (233, 241) and a system change number (243) for the commit is recorded in a transaction table (250). To identify the commit system change number for each statement in the change data, the transaction identifier (233, 241) in the change data is used to fetch the commit system change number (243) from the transaction table (250).

Patent CA-2456878-C (CA)
Title: Electromechanical switch
Inventor: PORTMANN PAUL
IPC: H01H23/06
Filed: 2001-09-27
Granted: 2011-03-01
Abstract: The switching part (1) of the inventive switch is tightly enclosed by an elastic membrane (5) in at least the area of its free end. Said membrane also envelopes the contact surfaces (2) which face towards the switching part (1), at a distance, and is tightly connected to the switch housing (4; 6). This ensures that the contact area is tightly sealed in relation to the environment of the switch, which in turn ensures reliable protection against contamination and oxidation of the contact surfaces. The number of switch components is reduced, advantageously, an additional mechanical spring for holding the latching position of the switching part (1) being superfluous, and miniature embodiments are therefore also possible.
