Patent EP-1279369-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BOVA FRANK J
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1995-05-24
Abstract: Repeat fixation for medical procedures is accomplished using a non-invasive locator, specifically a bite plate (26). The bite plate (26) has at least three fiducial markers (38) on it. The fiducial markers (38) may be LEDs, radiopaque markers for angiography or computerized tomography (CT) imaging or magnetic resonance markers for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. By detecting the position of the markers (38), the position of features within the patient (14) (such as a brain tumor or other intracranial target to which radiation is to be applied) can be determined with great precision. Since the bite plate (26) has been molded to uniquely fit to the patient's teeth, it may be removed after an initial imaging of the patient (14). The bite plate (26) may then re-attached one or more times to the teeth and the location of the features will be in a known position relative to the sensed markers.

Inventor: MAHER THOMAS R
IPC: G01D3/036
Filed: 2002-01-24
Abstract: An application specific integrated circuit or ASIC (MSC) is connected to a
plurality of bridge type sense elements (1-6) for analog multiplexing (10a, 10b, 10c) the
outputs from a selected sense element to a common signal conditioning path (1 Of). The
bridge type sense elements are biased through an electronically programmable resistor
(10d1) to derive a temperature signal. The signal conditioning path provides
electronically programmable correction for offset and gain proportional to the sensed
condition, e.g., fluid pressure. Complete sensor characterization data provided at the
time of manufacture is stored in non-volatile memory (10h) which is downloaded to a
host controller (12) on command. The ASIC also includes diagnostic test bridges (BR1,
BR2) for diagnosing ASIC faults and a signal diagnostic path (10m) for diagnosing
sense element and sense element connection faults. Characterization data
downloaded to the host controller enables the controller to mathematically correct
remaining temperature, condition (e.g., pressure) and diagnostic signal errors.
