Patent EP-0688198-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RAY R CHARLES
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 1994-03-11
Abstract: This is a system for achieving reduction of curvature of the lumbar region of the spine associated with spondylolisthesis that includes a hook assembly (200) attached to vertebra L4, transverse plates (48, 50) attached to vertebrae L4, L5, and sacral plates (52) affixed to opposite sides of the sacrum. The hooks and the plates in combination with the longitudinal plate along the posterior antierior plane in which the spinous processes lie allows for effective reduction of the curvature and secure fixation of this region of the spine. A related system for stabilizing the cervical region of the spine includes transverse plates (248, 252, 254) affixed to vertebrae C3, C4, C5. These plates in combination with a longitudinal plate allow for effective stabilization. The transverse plates include textured surfaces (138) that allow them to mate in a manner which prevents undesirable slippage there between. The system is also compact and does not interfere with the paraspinal muscles which run along either side of the spinal processes.

Abstract: A reagent system for accurately determining the volume of a pipette using a photometer is disclosed. The reagent system for use with the photometer includes a first container holding a reference solution and at least one second container holding a sample solution. A container holding the reference solution having maximum absorbance at a first wavelength is positioned in the photometer. The absorbances of the container at the first wavelength and at a second wavelength are measured. Then the optical pathlength of the container at the second wavelength is calculated from the measured absorbances at the first and second wavelengths. An aliquot of the sample solution is introduced into the container with a pipette to be calibrated. The sample solution has maximum absorbance at the second wavelength. The sample solution is mixed with the reference solution to form a mixture. Then the absorbance of the mixture in the container is measured at the second wavelength. The volume of the aliquot is calculated from the absorbance of the mixture and the optical pathlength of the container. The volume of the aliquot represents the volume of the pipette.

IPC: H04B10/10
Filed: 1995-04-04
Abstract: An infrared remote-control receiver employs at its front end a gyrator-configured transistor (12) operating as a current-to-voltage converter, but derives its data information from a negative-going gyrator output pulse in preference to the more conventionally used positive-going pulse. This negative-going pulse may be wider than the positive-going pulse and reduces the bandwidth demand on subsequent processing circuitry. This enables low-bandwidth, low-current hardware to be used which makes the receiver ideal for use in battery-operated systems. Also, the negative-going pulse is easier to detect, as it directly follows a disturbance known to be in the opposite direction. The result is an increased receiver sensitivity.

Abstract: Apparatus for delivering a medicine to a patient via the patient's respiratory system with control and efficiency. A nebulization catheter is positioned in the patient's respiratory system so that a distal end of the nebulization catheter is in the respiratory system and a proximal end is outside the body. In a first aspect, the nebulization catheter may be used in conjunction with an endotracheal tube and preferably is removable from the endotracheal tube. The nebulization catheter conveys medicine in liquid form to the distal end at which location the medicine is nebulized by a pressurized gas or other nebulizing mechanism. The nebulized medicine is conveyed to the patient's lungs by the patient's respiration which may be assisted by a ventilator. By producing the aerosol of the liquid medicine at a location inside the patient's respiratory system, the nebulizing catheter provides for increased efficiency and control of the dosage of medicine being delivered. In further aspects of the nebulizing catheter apparatus, alternative tip constructions, flow pulsation patterns, centering devices, sensing devices, and aspiration features afford greater efficiency and control of aerosolized medicine dosage delivery.

Each of the blades 10 includes an airfoil 40, a root 42, and a platform 44 extending outward in a lateral direction in a transition area between the root and the airfoil. The disc includes a plurality of complementary recesses 70 circumferentially distributed around the disc for receiving the blade roots, and gaps are formed between edges of adjacent platforms 44. The platforms collectively form a flow path for primary fluid flow passing by the airfoil side of the platforms and secondary fluid flow passing by the root side of the platforms. The apparatus 12 comprises a body 14 and means for conducting secondary flow between the body 14 and root side surfaces 19 of adjacent blade platforms, and thereafter into the gap. The means may be grooves 17 in the body 14 or the underside of the platform 44. The secondary flow travelling between the thin plate body and the root side surfaces transfers thermal energy away from the platforms.

Abstract: A doctor blade (4) is provided in contact with frictionally charged toner in a toner tank (2), which regulates the amount of toner held on a toner holder. A charge control unit (10) supplies to the doctor blade a voltage for selectively charging the toner. As a result, the amount of toner held on the toner holder is regulated, and simultaneously, the toner is charged to a specific polarity with a potential of the frictional charge or more. An electrostatic latent image is formed by the selectively charged toner. The toner is moved and transferred onto a papersheet (5) which is sequentially transported, under the influence of an electric field generated by application of a voltage to an opposite electrode (6) disposed opposing the toner holder. An image by the toner is thus formed on the papersheet.
