Title: Device and method for manipulation of thermal response in a modulator
Inventor: CHUI CLARENCE
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2005-09-02
Abstract: By varying the spacing between two surfaces, one of which is disposed in front of the other, an interferometric modulator selectively creates constructive and/or destructive interference between light waves reflecting off the two surfaces. The desired spacing can be achieved by deforming one or both surfaces. A heating element associated with a particular surface causes the deformation by heating the material that forms one or both of the surfaces. By varying the amount of applied heat, the amount of deformation is varied, thus allowing the distance between the surfaces to be controlled and thereby creating constructive and/or destructive interference as desired.

Title: Systems and methods for occluding a blood vessel
Inventor: MERETEI ATTILA
IPC: A61N2/10
Filed: 2005-12-28
Abstract: Systems and methods for occluding one or more blood vessels in a patient using variable viscosity fluids. The variable viscosity fluids are delivered in a liquefied state to the vasculature of the patient using a catheter or a micro-catheter. The blood vessels intended to be occluded may be any blood vessel within the vasculature of the patient, including capillary blood vessels in a capillary bed of the patient. The variable viscosity fluids may be an electro-rheologic fluid responsive to an electric current provided by an electric current generator, or may be a magneto-rheologic fluid responsive to a magnetic field provided by a magnetic field generator. The electric current generator is a power source that provides current to create a potential difference between electrodes placed about the blood vessels intended to be occluded. The potential difference between the electrodes changes the electro-rheologic fluid from the liquefied to a solidified state.  Alternatively, a magnetic field generator provides a magnetic field that, when present, changes the magneto-rheologic fluid from the liquefied to a solidified state. When solidified, the variable viscosity fluids provide the desired occlusion of the intended blood vessel or vessels and restricts flow therethrough the blood vessels. When liquefied, the variable viscosity fluids permit flow therethrough the blood vessels. The duration of the occlusion depends on the presence of the electric current in the case of an electro-rheologic fluid, or on the presence of the magnetic field in the case of a magneto-rheologic fluid.

The column 18 joins with a detritising cutting means 10 provided at the lower end of the column 18. The cutting means 10 removes cheese from the lower end of the pillar as it makes contact therewith. Simultaneously and consequently the cutting means 10 forms a quantity of particulate cheese which is deposited into conveyor means 12 for transport downstream as indicated by arrow 14. Secondary detritising means 20 may be included and preferably both detritising means 10, 20 are mounted in a hopper 11 with the conveyor 12 at the lower end thereof. The inlet 4 may be fed from a hopper 1 incorporated in the inlet 4 to enable particulate cheese to be charged into the column 18. In this manner the apparatus can be utilised in a second processing method to re-process fused or particulate cheese through a further or secondary fusion step back to particulate cheese. Typically this method or processing step is utilised as part of downstream processing such as salting. A plant may involve more than one f the apparatus joined in line to carry out the aforesaid processing methods or steps.
