Filed: 2003-02-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de diagnostic de détérioration d'une bobine dans lequel la bobine est constituée d'un conducteur refroidit directement par un milieu, revêtu d'une couche isolante, et d'une électrode interne insérée dans la couche d'isolant, consistant à appliquer une tension de CA au conducteur de la bobine, le potentiel de l'électrode interne étant mesuré grâce à une sonde de potentiel disposée face à la bobine. Lorsque le potentiel mesuré est plus élevé que le potentiel d'une bonne bobine, il s'ensuit que par une fuite le milieu est passé du conducteur à la couche isolante et que la couche isolante s'est détériorée. Selon l'agencement de l'invention, on met en oeuvre un procédé et un système de diagnostic de détérioration d'une bobine dans lesquels la détérioration de l'isolation de la bobine due à une fuite d'eau passant du conducteur à la couche d'isolant peut être détectée précocement avec sûreté et précision au moyen d'un processus facile lors du fonctionnement de la bobine dont le conducteur est refroidi directement par de l'eau.

Patent CA-2486346-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLEN JOHN J
IPC: A61B5/151
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: A lancing device includes a housing, a lancing mechanism operatively attached to the housing, a pressure tip and a trigger mechanism. The pressure tip is moveably attached to the housing and is configured to engage a target site and create a target site bulge. The trigger mechanism is configured for detecting a target site bulge of a predetermined height and, thereafter, triggering an immobilization of the pressure tip with respect to the housing. The immobilization of the pressure tip prevents further change in the location of the target site bulge relative to the housing. Since the location of target site bulge relative to the housing is controlled by the trigger mechanism, via immobilization of the pressure tip, penetration depth is consistent. A method for lancing a target site includes providing the lancing device described above and contacting a pressure tip of the lancing device with the target site. Next, the pressure tip is urged towards the target site, thereby creating target site bulge that is detected by a trigger mechanism of the lancing device. Subsequently, an immobilization of the pressure tip with respect to a housing of the lancing device is triggered.  Thereafter, the target site bulge is lanced with a lancet mechanism of the lancing device.

Title: System and method for forming a substantially non-ablative cardiac conduction block
Inventor: LEE RANDALL
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2003-05-07
Abstract: A system forms a conduction block in a region of cardiac tissue at a location associated with a cardiac arrhythmia by delivering a material that is non-ablative into the region. The material includes living cells that do not form sufficient gap-junctions with cardiomyocytes to conduct, e.g. myoblasts, stem cells, or fibroblasts. The material may be a non-living agent, such as a polymer agent, e.g. fibrin glue agent or collagen agent. The material may be a combination of living and non-living material that enhances the cellular conduction block. A contact member (20, 420) delivers the material over a patterned region of tissue, such as arcuate, linear, or circumferential patterns. The contact member (20,420) may include an expandable member or balloon (430). A guidewire (480) may be used for delivery. Cells used may be autologous, prepared for injection with a kit. Conduction blocks are thus formed without substantially ablating cardiac tissue in the region.
