Abstract: An implantable stimulation lead system comprises a lead including
a lead body dimensioned for placement inside the coronary sinus region.
The lead system further comprises a device (60) dimensioned for
insertion within a lumen in the lead, the device (60) including a main body
(62); a steering knob (68) secured to a proximal extremity (64) of the main
body (62); and a flexible distal portion (70) secured to a distal extremity
(66) of the main body (62). The main body (62) has a length such that,
with the main body (62) of the device substantially completely advanced
within the lead, the flexible distal portion (70) of the device projects distally
from the aperture in the distal tip of the lead body. The flexible distal
portion (70) of the device may comprise a proximal section and a distal
section, the distal section being more flexible, and thus softer, than the
proximal section.

Abstract: Uninterruptible power supply system (200) uses a slip-ring induction machine (10) and a flywheel combination. The UPS system (200) comprises a back-up power source connected in parallel to a primary power source such as utility grid. During normal operation of the UPS system (200), the primary power source (130) supplies power to the load and the UPS compensates for voltage drop. Moreover, the primary power source keeps the slip-ring induction machine and the flywheel in an excited state above normal synchronous speed. When the primary power source fails, the flywheel, which is rotating at super-synchronous speed and storing kinetic energy, drives the rotor of the slip-ring induction machine to generate power. Accordingly, the slip-ring induction machine and flywheel combination provides instantaneous, short term power to the load until the back-up power source has powered up and been brought online.

The computation part (28) specifies a reference light-receiving
element, then judges whether or not values of the optical
detection signals of a first predetermined number of
light-receiving elements increase monotonously in directions
going to both sides, and computes a position of a dark line on
the basis of a value obtained by differentiating the outputs
of a second predetermined number of light-receiving elements
sandwiching the reference light-receiving element when it is
judged that the values of the optical detection signals increase
monotonously, in the above-described direction.
