Abstract: A method and system for the pharmacological cardioversion of
fibrillation or atrial flutter is proposed which is
implantable in the human body and which provides equipment
for drug infusion by means of a hydraulic system through an
electrocatheter positioned in the right atrium or ventricle
or, preferably, in the coronary sinus. The electrocatheter
is provided with sensors which monitor the electromechanical
activity of the heart and which intervene to activate the
infusion in the presence of fibrillation or flutter, or to
stop it if the patient encounters problems caused, for
example, by the collateral effects of the drug. For
positioning in the coronary sinus, balloons fitted to the
catheter are inflated and deflated by a suitable circuit
which, in the preferred embodiment, creates a chamber which
permits the perfusion of the vein of Marshall, thereby
utilising approximately 1/6-1/10 of the quantity of drug
necessary for cardioversion in the atrium or ventricle.

Abstract: A liquid ink, drop-on-demand printhead
includes a substrate having a plurality of drop-emitter
orifices, an ink channel coupled to each of the
orifices for delivery of a body of ink to the orifices
at a pressure above ambient, thereby forming an ink
meniscus at the orifices. Drop selection is effected
by selectively delivering heat to ink which has been
delivered to selectively addressed ones of the
orifices, thereby causing a difference in meniscus
position between ink in addressed and non-addressed
orifices. A heater is suspended in each ink meniscus
close to its surface when the meniscus is at its
position in a non-addressed orifice, the heater being
effective to heat the meniscus and to thereby reduce
surface tension of the meniscus at selectively
addressed orifices.

When an engine has three intake branches per cylinder, there can be three throttle outlet ports of different cross-sections per cylinder, together with a common inlet port. The shutter may be contained in an inlet manifold (12), to which the inlet branches are connected in a common longitudinal plane.

Abstract: An algorithm is disclosed that enables the display for a medical ventilator to automatically adjust its wave characteristics depending on the settings for that ventilator established by the clinician. As the respiratory rate, or rate at which the ventilator provides breaths to the patient, is changed by the user, the rate of sweep of the waveform generator displaying that data is also changed to ensure that the data is displayed in the most relevant manner. As another parameter, as the pressure limit in the patient circuit is set by the clinician, the waveform vertical scale is adjusted to make sure the particular limit of pressure is displayed. As the pressure limit or the respiratory rate are changed in the ventilator by the clinician, the waveform of the data displayed also is automatically modified to make that data best presentable to the clinician.

Abstract: An air-fuel control system for use with an internal combustion engine (1) has a catalytic converter (4) in an exhaust system (A) of the engine, for purifying an exhaust gas emitted from the engine, a first exhaust gas sensor (6) in the exhaust system for detecting an air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas upstream of the catalytic converter, and a second exhaust gas sensor (7) in the exhaust system for detecting the concentration of a component of the exhaust gas which has passed through the catalytic converter, downstream of the catalytic converter. A sliding mode controller (19) determines a correction quantity at a first period to correct the air-fuel ratio of the engine so as to equalize the concentration of the component downstream of the catalytic converter to a predetermined appropriate value, according to a sliding mode control process based on the output from the second exhaust gas sensor. A feedback controller (17) determines a correction quantity at a second period for a rate at which fuel is supplied to the engine so as to converge the concentration of the component downstream of the catalytic converter toward the predetermined appropriate value, based on the correction quantity to correct the air-fuel ratio and the output from the first exhaust gas sensor, and feedback-controls the rate at which fuel is supplied to the engine with the determined correction quantity. The first and second periods are established separately from each other.

front wheels (2, 2) and rear wheels (3, 3) and having side
ends positioned externally of outer surfaces (3a, 3a) of the
rear wheels (3, 3). Thus, a crew can drive the wheelchair
(1) using the front body width of the wheelchair (1) as a
reference while paying little attention backward. A motor
(21) and a reduction gear (22) as components of a rear wheel
driving mechanism are laid compactly on a rear wheel axle
(16) one over the other. This reduces the body length and
enables down-sizing of the wheelchair (1).

Abstract: A plasma-enhanced electron shower (62) for an ion
implantation system (10) is provided, including an extension
tube (66) having a replaceable graphite inner liner (88). The
inner liner is biased to a low negative potential (-6V) to
prevent low energy secondary electrons generated by the
electron shower target from being shunted away from the wafer,
keeping them available for wafer charge neutralization. The
electrically biased inner surface is provided with serrations
(126) comprising alternating wafer-facing surfaces (128) and
target-facing surfaces (130). During operation of the
electron shower (62), photoresist or other material which may
sputter back from the wafer collects on the wafer-facing
surfaces (128), rendering them non-conductive, while the
target-facing surfaces (130) remain clean and therefore
conductive. The conductive target-facing surfaces provide a
shunt (low resistance) path to electrical ground for high
energy electrons generated in the electron shower.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à une émulsion huile-dans-eau du type lipoprotéine à modification de surface utile en tant que véhicule d'apport sélectif du pool sanguin pour agents d'imagerie lipophiles ou dérivés lipophiles d'agents d'imagerie hydrosolubles. Ce véhicule d'apport sélectif du pool sanguin, qui demeure dans le sang pendant plusieurs heures, ne fait montre que d'une séquestration hépatique précoce très réduite et est éliminé dans les 24 heures. Le diamètre moyen de la phase huileuse est inférieur à 150 nm, ce qui réduit au maximum une séquestration par le système réticulo-endothélial. La surface de la phase huileuse est modifiée par un phospholipide à modification polyéthyl glycol pour empêcher l'existence d'interactions normales avec les sites récepteurs des hépatocytes. En imagerie radiographique, il est possible d'introduire dans le noyau lipophile d'une particule d'émulsion du type lipoprotéine des triglycérides radioactives ou stables, synthétiques ou semi-synthétiques polyhalogénées, 2-oléoyglycérol-1,3bis[7-(3-amino-2,4,6-tri-iodophényl)heptanoate] par exemple, ou des dérivés lipidiques solubles d'agents de contraste hydrosolubles classiques, notamment des esters aliphatiques d'acide iopanoïque, diatrizoïque et acétrizoïque.
