Abstract: A method and related materials and apparatus for using minimally invasive means to repair (e.g., reconstruct) tissue such as fibrocartilage, and particularly fibrocartilage associated with diarthroidal and amphiarthroidal joints. The method involves the use of minimally invasive means to access and prepare damaged or diseased fibrocartilage within the body, and to then deliver a curable biomaterial, such as a curable polyurethane system, to the prepared site, and to cure the biomaterial in situ in order to repair the fibrocartilage. Applications include repair (e.g., reconstruction or replacement) of the intervertebral disc of the spine. An apparatus is provided in the form of an uninflated balloon that can be inserted into the disc space and there inflated with biomaterial in order to distract the space and provide a permanent replacement disc.

Abstract: An electrochemical fuel cell stack with an improved compression assembly comprises a tension member which is electrically non-conductive and preferably non-metallic. The tension member can be made from a composite material which has similar expansion and contraction properties as the stack materials, thereby reducing undesirable fluctuations in the compressive force applied to the stack. An improved apparatus for securing the improved tension member to the rest of the compression assembly is also provided. Preferred embodiments of an improved compression assembly employ a collet and wedges to grip the tension member and compress a resilient member which imparts a tensile force to the tension member and a compressive force to the fuel cell assemblies. In other embodiments, an improved compression assembly employs a unitary resilient member and fastener in combination with a tension member. The improved apparatus is easier to assemble in high speed manufacturing processes because the compression assembly can be assembled or installed using the same machinery which is used to compress the stack in one fixturing because the compression assembly is assembled by being stacked in essentially the same direction as the other fuel cell components. An improved method of assembling a compression assembly for an electrochemical fuel cell stack is also provided.

Abstract: An implantable system, such as a neural stimulator or a cochlear implant system, includes a rechargeable battery configuration having improved recharging and lifetime characteristics. The battery is housed within the implant's case and has first and second electrode plates. Each electrode plate has a plurality of slits that extend across a substantial portion of the plate's surface area. The slits in the electrode plates reduce the magnitude of eddy currents induced in the plates by external ac magnetic fields allowing faster battery recharging times. Alternatively, the electrode plates are wrapped in a spiral configuration such that, in the plane of the spiral, the electrode plates have a small cross-sectional area and no closed current loops. Additionally, the implant device may be housed in a case formed of a high-resistivity material and a circuit included in the implant device is configured to avoid large current loops that would result in eddy current heating. As a backup option, the circuitry of the implant device may optionally be powered from an external battery that inductively couples energy to the same coil that is used to charge the internal battery. In one embodiment, the implantable system is partitioned into first and second implantable cases, each having electrical circuitry therein, and only one having a rechargeable power source therein, facilitating its subsequent replacement for repair or upgrading purposes. The two cases are coupled together when the system is in use. Coupling is achieved either magnetically and/or with a detachable electrical cable. In one embodiment, power is transferred from one implant case to the other using a 3-phase transmission scheme.

Abstract: The invention provides iterative methods of analyzing a target nucleic acid that represents a variant of a reference nucleic acid. An array of probes is designed to be complementary to an estimated sequence of a target nucleic acid. The array of probes is then hybridized to the target nucleic acid. The target sequence is reestimated from hybridization pattern of the array to the target nucleic acid. A further array of probes is then designed to be complementary to the reestimated sequence, and this array is used to obtain a further reestimate of the sequence of the target nucleic acid. By performing iterative cycles of array design and target sequence estimation, the estimated sequence of the target converges with the true sequence.

Abstract: A metered dose inhaler (10) for use with a pressurized aerosol canister (18) includes a housing (12) defining a conduit (16) with a mouthpiece (56), and an actuator (26) with a nozzle discharge orifice (30) arranged to discharge aerosol into the conduit. An air tube (34) is arranged within the conduit with an inlet (38) of the air tube formed in the conduit wall (74) and an outlet (36) of the air tube in opposing relationship with the nozzle orifice. Inhalation through the mouthpiece causes air to be drawn into the inlet and flow out of the outlet of the air tube to form an air jet which impinges on an oppositely moving aerosol plume from the orifice. Auxiliary air inlets (46) in the closed end (24) of the conduit provide a boundary layer flow along the inner wall (44) of the conduit. Vortex generators (54) on the inner wall of the conduit add vorticity and turbulence to the boundary layer flow. Automatic actuation of the canister responsive to the patient's inhalation is achieved by a canister trigger (154) connected to a movable piston assembly (132) forming a wall of a variable-volume chamber (162) in fluid communication with a venturi (184) in the air tube. Air drawn through the venturi by the user's breath causes evacuation of air from the chamber, thereby moving the piston assembly and trigger to cause actuation of the canister.

Abstract: A fastening bolt fastens flanges between a bolt head and a nut attached on the threaded portion of the shaft via spherical washers. The fastening bolt has a cavity formed within the shaft. By application of pressure in the cavity with a hydraulic fluid supplied through a hydraulic pressure port in a plug, the shaft is extended and the fastening bolt becomes unfastened condition. In the unfastened condition, a gap is created between flange and nut, and the nut and the fastening bolt are free to rotate each other, therefore, the nut can be removed easily by hand from the fastening bolt, even the bolt is large in size. The fastening force is adjustable by the width of the gap before releasing hydraulic pressure in the cavity. By releasing hydraulic pressure in the cavity, the fastened condition is obtained. Conversion between fastened condition and unfastened condition can be made quickly and easily. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for polishing a surface of a semiconductor wafer using a pad moveable in both forward and reverse directions. In both VLSI and ULSI applications, polishing the wafer surface to complete flatness is highly desirable. The forward and reverse movement of the polishing pad provides superior planarity and uniformity to the surface of the wafer. The wafer surface is pressed against the polishing pad as the pad moves in both forward and reverse directions while polishing the wafer surface. During polishing, the wafer is supported by a wafer housing having a novel wafer loading and unloading method.
