Title: Systeme d'echange de fluide permettant une irrigation et une aspiration localisee et regulee
Inventor: MACMAHON JOHN M
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2002-07-17
Abstract: Selon l'invention, la régulation de l'introduction de fluide dans des canaux du corps, tels que des vaisseaux, ou de l'extraction de fluide hors de ces canaux présente un grand intérêt en médecine. A mesure que des traitements plus particuliers pour les vaisseaux et les organes se développent, il devient clair que la régulation de l'introduction et de l'extraction de fluide est nécessaire. La distribution et l'extraction de fluide, appelées habituellement irrigation et aspiration, à partir de ces sites, au moyen de dispositifs d'échange de fluide, doivent également présenter un potentiel de volume et/ou de pression dans le vaisseau ou dans l'organe. Les dispositifs selon l'invention présentent des configurations de cathéter et de lumière pour permettre l'échange de fluide. Plusieurs modes de réalisation décrivent des dispositifs régulés électriquement ou mécaniquement, produisant un flux régulé et localisé qui présente des rapports d'échange de volume définis pour la gestion du fluide. Les applications en médecine comprennent le diagnostic, le traitement, l'imagerie et les utilisations dans l'introduction ou l'extraction de concentrations d'emboles à l'intérieur de cavités du corps.

IPC: C12Q1/6886

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of detecting non-apoptotic DNA in clinical samples. In particular there is provided a novel screening methodology for the detection of colorectal carcinoma. Cancer results from genetic mutations which result in uncontrolled and unregulated cell growth. Apoptosis does not occur in cancerous cells and thus the DNA remains unfragmented. Colorectal cancer results from mutations which occur in varying sites of the DNA. Accordingly there is no ubiquitous marker specific to colorectal tumour cells. The present invention provides the finding that the presence of specific fragments of DNA can be used to diagnose cancer irrespective of the point of DNA mutation. The method includes the step of obtaining a suitable sample, extracting the DNA therefrom and then amplifying and separating the fragments by electrophoresis in order to detect the presence of banding which is indicative of non-fragmented DNA derived from cancerous cells.

Abstract: An airport map display system (10) provides situational awareness to a pilot of an airport's runways, taxiways, and other features relative to the pilot's aircraft. Data representative of an airport map is translated and communicated between aircraft systems using a data interchange method that facilitates efficient throughput of information used to represent an airport map. In addition, data representative of taxi routes, modified taxi routes, and current position of the aircraft at the airport are also translated and communicated using a compact data interchange method. Airport map data is scaled so that it is compatible with display systems previously incompatible with displaying some airport maps. Aircraft equipped with raster displays are manipulated to display map symbology by redefining existing vector group labels. For retrofit applications, the airport map display system (10) is activated when a preexisting input (e.g., an 'ARPT' button) is activated when a taxi-related page is active.

Abstract: There has been a demand for further accelerating image
data conversion through the use of the error diffusion method. 
     It is determined whether or not a specified block
process condition is satisfied on the basis of a gradation value
for each pixel in a target block to convert the image data. When
the block process condition is determined to be true, a process
is performed to diffuse a gradation error for the entire target
block and convert image data for pixels in the target block at
a time. Even when the block process condition is determined
to be false, it is determined whether or not to form a dot in
the target block. When it is determined that no dot should be
formed, a process is performed to diffuse a gradation error for
the entire target block to the unconverted pixels in another
block and convert image data for pixels in the target block. 
     It is possible to further accelerating the image data
conversion through the use of the error diffusion method while
maintaining high image quality.

Abstract: An array of semiconductor circuit elements such as
light-emitting elements includes a semiconductor layer
partially covered by a dielectric film. A first
interconnecting pad such as a wire-bonding pad is
electrically coupled by conductive paths passing through the
semiconductor layer to electrodes of a first group of
semiconductor circuit elements formed in the semiconductor
layer. A second interconnecting pad such as a wire-bonding
pad, formed on the dielectric film, is electrically coupled
to electrodes of a second group of semiconductor circuit
elements formed in the semiconductor layer by conductive
paths insulated from the semiconductor layer by the
dielectric film. The second conductive paths cross the first
conductive paths at points at which the first conductive
paths pass through the semiconductor layer, so that only a
single layer of metal interconnecting lines is needed.

Abstract: Head-to-head variations in the head gap distance between write and read heads is
compensated by measuring the head gap distance in each head by writing and reading a
predetermined unique pattern, and compensating the timing to start the data writing by changing
it in a head-to-head manner based on a time gap that corresponds to the measured head gap
distance in each head. This allows data to be written at a desired physical position regardless of
the variation of the head gap distance, thereby allowing formatting efficiency to be improved.

Inventor: CAZEMIER HENDRIK
IPC: G06F16/13
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: The invention provides a sophisticated application programming mechanism
and technique that makes referencing data look as if the data is dynamically
allocated by the process. The invention also provides a mechanism whereby
all the persisted data is shared across all processes on the same computer
that access it. In order to achieve these advantages, the invention creates
small, process specific structures on demand as the program accesses the
references from the persisted data and makes use of the underlying memory
mapping and linking technologies inherent in modern Operation Systems. The
technique is especially useful in large data warehouses, or planning data
repositories, where it simplifies preparation for the sharing of non-volatile data
between instances of an application, permitting sharing of data between
different applications, and reducing the size of the data shared. It allows for
the data to be highly referenced internally while not requiring the extra
memory used by pointer swizzling at runtime.

Abstract: A piezoelectric/electrostrictive film-type actuator has
a ceramic base (44) and a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element (78),
which has piezoelectric/electrostrictive films (79) and electrode
films (73,75,77) and which is disposed on the ceramic base, and is
driven in accordance with a displacement of the
piezoelectric/electrostrictive element. The piezoelectric/
electrostrictive element is formed such that the
piezoelectric/electrostrictive films and the electrode films
are alternately laminated so as to construct the uppermost
layer and the lowermost layer with the electrode films.
Also, the piezoelectric/electrostrictive films have two
layers and no pores, containing a different phase formed by
a decomposed material thereof, in the boundary sandwiched
therebetween. In addition, the upper layer of the two-layered
piezoelectric/electrostrictive films is thicker than
the lower layer. This piezoelectric/electrostrictive film-type
actuator solves the problem in that a withstand voltage
of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive films is likely to
decrease, and effectively achieves a bending displacement.
