Patent EP-1382832-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SANCHEZ RAMON A
IPC: F02M25/08
Filed: 2003-07-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a solenoid-actuated
charcoal canister (36) purge valve (40) to control the flow of purge fuel that is
supplied via the purge valve (40) to a cylinder of an internal combustion engine
(14). The method includes generating a preselected input duty cycle (82) for use
in energizing the solenoid- actuated purge valve (40) that is registered by a
microcontrolle (18). The solenoid-actuated purge valve (40) is energized using
the input duty cycle (82) to generate an output duty cycle (100) from a current
driver (84) in operable communication with the microcontroller (18). The
output duty cycle (100) dictates the quantity of purge fuel flow to the cylinder
by controlling the active period of energizing the solenoid. A feedback voltage
(Vfb) from the solenoid-actuated purge valve (40) is measured, wherein the
feedback voltage (Vfb) corresponds to a feedback duty cycle (DCfb). The
microcontroller calculates an error between the input duty cycle (82) and the
feedback duty cycle (DCfb) and generates a compensated output duty cycle (85)
to the current driver (84) based on the error calculated to compensate any
deviation. The compensated output duty cycle (85) compensates for any
deviation from a linear relationship between the input duty cycle (82) and
feedback voltage (Vfb), wherein Vfb corresponds to a flow of purge fuel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for treating an arrhythmia originating in a
pulmonary vein of a patient are described. The system includes a rigid sheath (400,500)
and an elongated catheter (102,402,502) that defines an axis and has an ablating distal section.
The distal section includes a plurality of conductive bands (108,412,506), with each band
establishing an enclosed chamber (118). The ablating distal section is reconfigurable
between a first compact configuration in which each band is positioned relatively
near the axis for transit through the sheath and second expanded configuration in
which each band is positioned relatively far from the axis. Once in the second
configuration, a fluid refrigerant is expanded into each enclosed chamber to cool
the bands and cryoablate tissue. The second configuration is particularly useful
for ablating a circumferential band of tissue, for example, a band of tissue
surrounding the opening (i.e. ostium) where a pulmonary vein connects with the
left atrium.
