Inventor: SHOLDER JASON A
IPC: A61N1/37
Filed: 1995-12-18
Abstract: Capture is assessed in an implantable pacemaker by issuing a pair of stimulation pulses (V i , V B ), separated by about 60-100 milliseconds. The second pulse (V B ) of the stimulation pair is set to an energy level that assures capture, and remains at that level. The first pulse (V i ) of the stimulation pair (V i , V B ) is initially set to an energy level that assures capture, and its energy level is thereafter systematically decreased, e.g., its amplitude is decreased, by a set amount each time the pair of stimulation pulses (V i , V B ) is issued. One of the stimulation pulses of the stimulation pair (V i , V B ) will always cause capture: the first pulse (V i ) when its energy level is greater than the capture threshold (in which case the second pulse (V B ) is issued into refractory cardiac tissue and has no effect); or the second pulse (V B ), when the energy of the first pulse (V i ) drops below the capture threshold. In either event, a T-wave (74) follows the capturing pulse, whether the first or the second, evidencing repolarization of the cardiac tissue. Capture is assessed by measuring the time interval (T i ) between a fixed reference point associated with the stimulation pair, e.g., the first pulse (V i ), and the T-wave (74). A significant change in this time interval (T i ), e.g., of approximately 60-100 milliseconds, indicates that the first pulse (V i ) has dropped below the capture threshold.

Abstract: A technique for continuously determining and displaying the peak velocities of spectral Doppler information is disclosed. A Doppler noise threshold level is determined from operating characteristics of the ultrasound system, probe, or both. Received spectral Doppler data for a spectral line is compared to this threshold to identify a valid peak velocity value. Spectral lines are examined in advance of their display to detect excursions due to artifacts such as valve clicks. Peak velocity values are interpolated and displayed in place of artifact peak values. Individual heart cycles over which quantified measures of cardiovascular performance are computed and displayed are selected by the R-wave intervals of an ECG trace. The interval of the concurrent spectral Doppler display corresponding to the heart cycle interval over which the quantified measures are computed or pertain is automatically highlighted for the user.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the application and transmission of steady or time varying pressure under high/low, steady or time dependent temperatures and eliminates the potential danger for explosive events which is unavoidable in coventional techniques (with fluid media). The method consists of using an assembly of ceramic microspheres coated by a solid lubricant (for temperatures between -50°C and 1600°C and steady or monotonically increasing pressure) or a mixture of melted oxides with extremely high boiling points (for temperatures between 300° and 2700°C and steady or cyclically varied pressure). The invention is related to the fields or Mechanics of Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Technology of Ceramics, etc. The method is exemplified in the case of internal pressurization of tubular metallic specimens. The tests show uniform pressure transmission to the desired directions, very good efficiency (ratio of radial to axially imposed pressure), repeatability and elimination of the explosion danger and the associated costs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for controlling access to a
disc storage device (6-1, ..., 6-m) comprising a plurality of discs storing a plurality of
second data obtained by dividing first data, the disc being configured such that a number
of sectors included at tracks in an outer section of the disc is greater than a number of
sectors included at tracks in an inner section of the disc. In particular, the method and
device for controlling disc array decides (2) the discs storing each of a plurality of the
second data, and information comprising the addresses of the second data on the disc and
the size of each item of a plurality of the second data in such a manner that the time
required for accessing (5-1, ..., 5-m) each of a plurality of the second data stored in the
disc device becomes equal, with access then being carried out to the disc device on the
basis of the decided information. Further, each item of information is decided on the basis
of a gap expressed by angular differences between the heads and ends of the second data at
the time of arrangement of the second data on the discs. In this way, the overhead at the
time of accessing data on the disc device can be reduced, the time required for reading and
writing data can be fixed an input/output time can be easily estimated.

Abstract: The method involves deviating characteristics (11,12,13,21,22,23,31) from speech signals of different words in a training phase to repeated time points. The characteristics identify consecutive states in triphons in the words. The triphon consists of a left, a central and a right phoneme. Characteristics of different triphons which have the same acoustic states and satisfy predetermined criterions are combined to groups. A group of triphons is selected for each state of a triphon in the first word which was not observed in the training phase. The selected group is assigned to observed triphons having the same central, left and right phonemes. Each selected group formes a reference value for a word model.

Abstract: An important intermediate for preparing cephalopsporin

is prepared by a novel bioprocess in which a transformed
 Penicillium chrysogenum  strain is cultured in the presence
of an adipate feedstock to produce adipoyl-6-APA (6-amino
penicillanic acid); and the  in situ  expression of an
expandase gene, e.g., from  Streptomyces clavuligerus , with
which the  P.chrysogenum  has been transformed, converts the
adipoyl-6-APA by ring expansion to the novel compound
adipoyl-7-ADCA. The final product, 7-ADCA, is then prepared
by cleavage of the adipoyl side chain using an adipoyl
acylase. The entire synthesis, accordingly, is carried out
