Abstract: The invention generally pertains to a medical instrument. One aspect of the invention relates to an improved ablation arrangement. The ablation arrangement includes a transmission line suitable for the transmission of electromagnetic energy and an antenna coupled to the transmission line. The ablation arrangement further includes a reflector that cooperates with the antenna to produce a directional electromagnetic field that is sufficiently strong to cause tissue ablation. The reflector is positioned laterally to a first side of the antenna and configured for redirecting a portion of the electromagnetic field to a second side of the antenna opposite the reflector, wherein a majority of the electromagnetic field is directed away from the second side of the antenna. Another aspect of the invention relates to an improved electrode arrangement. The electrode arrangement includes a pair of spaced apart and electrically isolated elongated wire electrodes positioned adjacent one another on a carrier member. The wire electrodes are arranged for sensing electrical activity of biological tissues inside the body of the patient. The electrode arrangement also includes a pair of electrically isolated electrode wires that extend through the carrier member. Each of the electrode wires are electrically coupled to an associated wire electrode. The invention is particularly useful in catheters and surgical devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Piezoelectric wafers are affixed to a circuit card to control displacement of the circuit card when vibrated. A trigger wafer located at an anti-node of the dominant mode shape produces a voltage as a function of modal displacement. A control system responsive to the trigger wafer produces voltages that are applied to flex wafers at a different anti-node of the dominant mode shape. The flex wafers expand and contract in a manner that reduces the modal displacement of the circuit card. Multiple flex wafers can exist, affixed to the circuit card substantially opposite each other, or a single flex wafer can exist with a single trigger wafer. The trigger wafer can be located substantially opposite the flex wafer or can be located elsewhere on the circuit card.

Abstract: A high-resolution position sensor device for use in precise positioning of servomechanisms, by providing increased resolution using of an encoder mounted on the shaft of a motor, which produces transition pulses through a light-sensitive arrangement using a photodetector. Each time the pulse makes a transition because the groove of the encoder wheel has passed, a reset signal is produced which resets to zero the number of clock pulses which have been measured for that interval between the transition pulses. The transition pulses and the time between them changes with changes in motor speed, while the system clock pulse rate remains fixed. The invention provides a more accurate position sensor, which operates by generating more transition pulses than the encoder itself actually generates. If the encoder produces transition pulses at a given resolution, the sensor device produces output pulses having a higher resolution. The time interval between two high-resolution pulses is smaller than that between two transition pulses, because of the higher counting rate. This provides higher resolution of the motor position information, and better position control can be achieved with smaller errors.

Abstract: Countergravity casting of metals and metal alloys provides for melting of the metallic material under subambient pressure, evacuation of a gas permeable or impermeable mold under subambient pressure, and controlled, rapid filling of the mold while it is maintained under the subambient pressure by applying gas pressure locally on the molten metallic material in a sealed space defined by engagement of a mold base and a melting vessel with a seal therebetween. The gas pressure applied locally in the sealed space establishes a differential pressure on the molten metallic material to force it upwardly through the fill tube into the mold.

Abstract: The invention comprises a tensioner having a linear motion. A pulley is journaled to a housing. A bearing is used to slidingly join the housing and a base. The bearing constrains the housing, and therefore the pulley, to move along a predetermined path. The housing also comprises an arcuate damping surface that interacts with a frictional or damping band. A torsion spring concentrically engages the frictional material band, pressing it in to engagement with the arcuate damping surface as the housing moves in response to an impulse or force from the pulley. As a belt load impulse causes the housing to move along the predetermined path, a contact between the damping band and the base causes the spring to further press the frictional damping material against the housing arcuate surface, thereby damping movement of the housing. Further, an axis of the pulley is offset from a centerline of the bearing. As the housing moves, a couple is created between the housing and the base acting through the bearing. The forces of the couple create a frictional force between the bearing surfaces, further damping a movement of the housing and thereby a movement of the pulley.
