Granted: 2007-06-26
Abstract: An optical fiber filter with a non-sinusoidal wavelength response is produced by forming an adiabatic taper in a single mode fiber and forming non-adiabatic tapers on slopes at each end of the elongated central region of this adiabatic taper and in the middle of the central region. The non-adiabatic taper in the middle of the central region produces a phase shift in the wavelength response leading to non- sinusoidal filtering characteristics. The filter may be combined with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to produce a Mach-Zehnder device with a non-sinusoidal wavelength response.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des cartouches filtrantes pouvant comporter un élément d'âme constitué d'une masse non tissée autonome de fibres d'âme polymères, synthétiques, continues, de longueur indéfinie, et au moins une couche de zone de filtrage annulaire constituée d'une masse de fibres de filtrage non tissées, polymères, synthétiques, continues, de longueur indéfinie. L'élément d'âme non tissé est idéalement formé in situ, pendant la fabrication de la cartouche filtrante, par fusion-soufflage de nappes de fibres d'âme polymères synthétiques vers un mandrin de formage. L'élément d'âme non tissé est entièrement solidifié avant qu'on n'effectue par-dessus la fusion-soufflage des fibres de zone de filtrage, de sorte que les fibres d'âme et de filtrage s'imbriquent surtout mécaniquement au lieu d'être liées par voie fondue. On peut couper des cartouches filtrantes de longueur prédéterminée dans une préforme de cartouche filtrante en amont, de longueur indéfinie, en soumettant la préforme à un air de refroidissement forcé, afin de réduire (si ce n'est éliminer entièrement) le rétrécissement considérable de la cartouche filtrante avec le temps. En outre, un ensemble de coupe peut être disposé latéralement par rapport à la préforme, mais est capable d'effectuer un mouvement longitudinal synchronisé avec la préforme lors de l'opération de coupe.

Title: Propofol formulation with enhanced microbial characteristics
Inventor: DELA ROSA JOSBEN C
IPC: A61K31/05
Filed: 2000-03-29
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: Formulations of intravenous anesthetic propofol emulsions are provided which contain sufficiently low concentrations of soybean oil to produce a stable emulsion and simultaneously provide reduced nutrients, which inhibit microbial growth thereby providing protection against accidental microbial contamination during long-term IV infusions. In addition to the inhibition of microbial growth due to a reduction of nutrients, the formulation exhibits unanticipated additional microbial inhibition due to an increased availability of propofol. The low concentration of soybean oil also provides a formulation that reduces the chances of fat overload when administered over an extended period of time to chronically ill patients.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un capteur de pression sanguine (12) comprenant une source de rayonnement de photons telle qu'un réseau (30) de diodes laser (30A-I). Le capteur comprend également une surface réfléchissante flexible à deux dimensions (14). La surface réfléchissante est en général positionnée par rapport à la source de rayonnement de sorte que le rayonnement se déplace dans une direction normale à la surface réfléchissante. La surface réfléchissante est disposée sur le patient, à côté de l'endroit où les données de pression sanguine doivent être acquises. Le rayonnement provenant de la source est réfléchi par la surface réfléchissante sur un réseau à deux dimensions (17) de photo-détecteurs (18). Les variations de pression sanguine systolique et diastolique chez le patient, se traduisent par des déflexions de la peau du patient. Ces déflexions provoquent des déflexions correspondantes de la surface réfléchissante à deux dimensions. Le mouvement associé de ladite surface réfléchissante flexible (14), dû aux pulsations sanguines, permet d'obtenir des motifs de diffusion à partir de ladite surface réfléchissante, qui doivent être détectés par le réseau à deux dimensions (17) de photo-détecteurs (18). La sortie du réseau de photo-détecteurs est calibrée pour des pressions sanguines en mmHg durant une procédure de calibrage, afin d'obtenir un ensemble de relations de calibrage pour un ou plusieurs détecteurs individuels. Les relations de calibrage sont utilisées durant l'acquisition des données de pression sanguine pour obtenir des données de pression sanguine.
