Patent EP-0902647-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIOKA NORMAN S
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1997-05-07
Abstract: An integrated optical biopsy forceps device and a method for tissue identification by optical analysis and biopsy sampling at a site within the body. The device includes an elongated catheter body for introduction into the body and navigation to an area of interest. An optical fiber extends through the device, from the proximal end, where it may be connected to electro-optical spectral analysis equipment, to a distal tip for illuminating and receiving light energy from tissue at the location of the tip. The distal end of the device has a pair of cutting jaws pivotally mounted at the distal end of the catheter body and controlled by control wires extending through the catheter body to a control handle at the proximal end, or by the optical fiber. The device may be spectroscopically guided to a site of interest within the body. The fiber tip is positioned coaxially with the jaws at the zone of contact and cutting of the jaws, and is retracted as the jaws close, so that the biopsy sample is taken exactly at the spot being viewed by the optical fiber.

Abstract: Un système et un procédé de détection de l'application de contraintes transversales sur une fibre optique comprennent une source de lumière (32) produisant un faisceau de lumière à spectre relativement large, une fibre optique (22), un réseau (26) situé à l'intérieur de la fibre et un analyseur de spectre (54). Le faisceau de lumière est réfléchi ou transmis à travers le réseau optique dans le coeur (24) de la fibre optique, lequel est soumis à des contraintes transversales directement par exposition à une pression. Lorsqu'il est soumis à une contrainte transversale, le réseau optique produit une réflexion ou une transmission du faisceau de lumière présentant deux crêtes ou des minima dans son spectre de fréquence, dont l'espacement et/ou l'étalement indiquent l'application des forces à la fibre. Un ou plusieurs détecteurs captent la réflexion ou la transmission provenant du réseau optique afin de produire une sortie représentative des forces appliquées. Des réseaux et des détecteurs optiques multiples peuvent être utilisés afin de mesurer simultanément la température ou les forces en différents points, le long de la fibre.

Abstract: Spectrometers often use a so called charge balance photodiode array. This
type of photodiode array uses parallel A/D conversion in each channel of said
photodiode array, whereby a charge provided by a photocurrent (I ph ) is accumulated
at a integrator circuit (35) and a dumping circuit (37) removes
this charge by well defined charge packets to keep the system in balance. 
     In order to expand the field of application of these photodiode arrays, a storage
circuit is inserted to buffer a possible charge overflow caused by a light
beam (2) of high intensity, as often occurs when flash light lamps are used in
the spectrometers. The storage circuit comprises a capacitor (C s ) a current
limiter (32) which linearly conducts the photocurrent (I ph ) below a process
limit defined by the saturation limit of the dumping circuitry (37) and which,
above this limit, converts a photocurrent pulse into a constant overflow current
(I in ) having a duration corresponding to the amplitude of the photocurrent
pulse (I ph ).
