Patent EP-1076508-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KLISTORNER ALEXANDER I
IPC: A61B3/024
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: The multifocal pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) has been adapted to detect visual field loss as a form of objective perimetry, with specific application to glaucoma. Multifocal pattern stimuli are cortically scaled and presented using a standard system. In order to effectively record the visual field responses, a unique array of bipolar occipital straddle electrode positions are employed, overlying the occipital visual cortex. Multi-channel VEP recording is then performed using these electrode positions. The responses are combined from the channels to produce a representation of the visual up to 25° of eccentricity. Analysis of results to detect early field defects is enhanced by asymmetry analysis between fellow eyes, and by a scaling algorithm to compensate for inter-individual variations. VEP objective perimetry corresponds well with subjective Humphrey visual field defects, showing loss of signal in the areas of visual field loss. Further, it shows reductions in areas of the visual field in glaucoma suspects where subjective testing is still within normal limits. This technique represents the first practical application of the multifocal pattern VEP to objective detection of visual field defects in glaucoma, and may have the potential for detecting disease at an earlier stage than conventional testing.

Title: METHOD FOR DESULFURISING A NO x? ACCUMULATING CATALYST ON THE BASIS OF TEMPERATURE AND LAMBDA VALUE
Inventor: POTT EKKEHARD
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 1999-06-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for desulfurising an NOx accumulator or an NOx accumulating catalyst mounted downstream from an internal combustion engine operated with a lean mixture. According to said method, after adjustment of a predetermined relatively low desulfurization temperature reaching approximately 600  DEG C, the lambda value is lowered to a constant value of approximately 0.98 for a predetermined period. Then, said lambda value is let to oscillate around an average lambda value which is lowered to about 0.93-0.95, as a function of time, from a pre-set initial value. The oscillation amplitude is preferably risen to a maximum value +/- 0.1, while the oscillation frequency is simultaneously reduced by about 0.2 Hz to about 0.1 Hz. In order to increase the desulfurization speed, the average catalyst temperature is also risen, as a function of time, to reach approximately 700-720  DEG C. The indicated process parameters are always selected on the basis of the catalyst system which is used, so that deposited sulphur is released during removal of undesirable hydrogen sulphide emissions, essentially in the form of sulphur dioxide, and so that desulfurization times are minimised. The parameters can be modified in a time dependent or independent manner from each other.

Abstract: A design and method of manufacture are disclosed for a female continence augmentor device used to alleviate urinary incontinence. the female continence augmentor includes a mount formed of a resilient material, an intralumenal part carried on the mount and a resilient portion carried on the intralumenal part of the device. The mount adheres to the female body about the urethral exit to support the female augmentor into position to prevent inadvertent urine loss. The intralumenal part of the device extends from the mount into the urethral lumen at least to the mid-urethra. In particular, the resilient portion of the intralumenal part extends into the urethra and is adapted to at leat urge the dorsal urethral wall in the dorsal direction to stretch and/or reshape the mid-urethral lumen to have a more arcuate shape. Thus, the mid-urethral lumen in cross-section would preferably exhibit a crescent shape of smaller radius. As such, the female continence augmentor enables a patient to void voluntarily with normal muscle control and without requiring conscious action to operate the device. Following voiding, the continence augmentation function of the device resumes automatically thereby increasing urethral resistance to opening and preventing inadvertent urine loss.

Abstract: A fused tension-based fiber grating pressure sensor (8) includes an optical fiber (10) having a Bragg grating (12) impressed therein. The fiber (10) is fused to tubes (20) on opposite sides of the grating (12) and an outer tube (30) is fused to the tubes (20) to form a chamber (34). The tubes (20, 30) and fiber (10) may be made of glass. Light (14) is incident on the grating (12) and light (16) is reflected from the grating (12) at a reflection wavelength (μ1). The grating (12) is placed in tension pre-strain and as the pressure (P) increases, the tension on the grating (12) is reduced and the reflection wavelength shifts accordingly. A temperature grating (50) may be used to measure temperature and allow for a temperature-corrected pressure measurement. The shape of the outer tube (20) may have geometries other than a straight cylinder. Also, the axial ends of tubes (20) where the fiber (10) exits the tubes (20) may have an inner region (22) and/or a protruding tapered (or fluted) axial section (27), to provide strain relief or improved pull strength of the fiber (10).
