Abstract: A heat transfer plate for a plate heat exchanger including a number of ridges ( 210 ) and troughs ( 220 ) which have been pressed into the plate, the heat transfer portion of the plate having a plurality of juxtaposed rows ( 200 ) of the ridges ( 210 ) and troughs ( 220 ). The rows ( 200 ) of ridges ( 210 ) and troughs ( 220 ) are separated from each other by essentially plane channel portions ( 240 ). Each row ( 200 ) presents alternating elongated ridges ( 210 ) and elongated troughs ( 220 ) which extend along a main flow direction (F). The transition between each ridge ( 210 ) and an adjacent trough ( 220 ) in the same row ( 200 ) is formed by a transition portion ( 230 ) which is inclined relative to the central plane (P 1 ) of the plate ( 1 ).

Abstract: A time reference point can be determined in a radio system by sending a synchronization sequence s(i), i=0, . . . N−1, from transmitter X, 40 to receiver Y, 48, and by detecting the peak value at the output of a matched-filter, 44, h(i)=s(N−1-i) on Y. In practical systems the accuracy of this peak detection is limited by interference and noise on the radio channel. To increase the peak detection accuracy, we propose to repeat the transmission of the same synchronization sequence K times. The interval L between repetitions is constant and the amplitude of the synchronization sequence in each repetition varies according to a given variation pattern a(jL), j=0, . . . , K−1. The receiver Y, 48 knows L and a(jL), j=0, . . . , K−1. After comparison to a threshold, the matched-filter 44 at the receiver 48 may deliver peaks resulted from repeatedly received synchronization sequences or peaks caused by interference and/or noise.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for treating disorders characterized by low cardiac output. The devices, systems and methods use intra-aortic balloon couterpulsation in combination with hypothermia of all or a portion of a human or veterinary patient's body to improve coronary perfusion and cardiac output. To effect the hypothermia, a heat exchange catheter may be positioned in the patient's vasculature separately from the intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation catheter. Alternatively, a combination intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation/heat exchange catheter may be utilized. Such combination catheter comprises a) a catheter sized for insertion into the aorta, b) a counterpulsation balloon and c) a heat exchanger. A drive/control system receives temperature and electrocardiograph signals and drives the inflation/deflation of the counterpulsation balloon as well as the heating/cooling of the heat exchanger.
