Inventor: PIRON CAMERON ANTHONY
IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 2004-09-29
Granted: 2015-01-27
Abstract: This invention discloses a method and apparatus to deliver medical devices to targeted locations within human tissues using imaging data. The method enables the target location to be obtained from one imaging system, followed by the use of a second imaging system to verify the final position of the device. In particular, the invention discloses a method based on the initial identification of tissue targets using MR  imaging, followed by the use of ultrasound imaging to verify and monitor accurate needle positioning. The invention can be used for acquiring biopsy samples to determine the grade and stage of cancer in various tissues including the brain, breast, abdomen, spine, liver, and kidney. The method is also useful for delivery of markers to a specific site to facilitate surgical removal of diseased tissue, or for the targeted delivery of applicators that destroy diseased tissues in-situ.

Title: Needle protection assembly
Inventor: HAURI MARIUS
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2004-08-19
Granted: 2012-12-18
Abstract: A needle protection assembly has a needle hub with a proximal portion and a distal portion. Two sets of spaced apart flanges extend transversely from the proximal portion of the needle hub. A number of arms extend transversely from the distal portion of the needle hub for forming at least one catch and at least one slot. A collar to which a needle protection housing is attached has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the collar has, at its inner surface, a number of protrusions that are fitted within the space defined by the two sets of flanges, when the collar is press-fitted to the needle hub. The distal end of the collar has a number of fingers or retainers that are used to grasp and removably couple a needle sheath. The needle sheath covers the needle that extends from the distal end of the needle hub before use. The coupling of the needle sheath to the distal end of the collar is such that the needle sheath could not be dislodged accidentally during shipment, and yet can be removed by the application of a predetermined force. Once the needle sheath is removed, the needle that is attached to the distal end of the needle hub may be used. A needle protection housing is piv otally connected to the collar, and is pivoted to cover the needle after use. A channel or opening in the protective housing through which the needle passes is formed by a pair of lips that extend longitudinally along the length of the housing. The lips each are progressively angled toward the interior of the housing and are designed to guide the needle into the housing in a smooth fashion. A spline is provided inside the housing. Once the housing fully covers the needle, the housing may be rotated to cause the spline to coact against a catch at the distal portion of the needle hub to thereby remove the needle hub from the luer end of a syringe.

Abstract: A WEC system embodying the invention includes a column and shell, arranged to move relative to each other, and a lever-like apparatus having an input end and an output end and an intermediate point, between the two ends, the intermediate point being rotatably connected to the column. The input end is connected to the shell and moves at the same velocity and in the same direction as the shell. The output end moves in the opposite direction and at a rate which is a multiple of the shell velocity. The multiple being a function of the ratio of the length of the intermediate point to the output and input ends. In systems embodying the invention, one of two components (a PMA or an ICA) of a linear electric generator may be attached to the shell and the other of the two components may be attached to the output end of the lever-like apparatus to produce high relative velocity between the two components resulting in higher amplitude and higher frequency output voltages.

IPC: B30B11/00
Filed: 2004-11-11
Granted: 2012-05-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a molding with a core by using compression molding means having upper and lower double-structured punches; the method comprising the steps of supplying molding material for the core and molding material for the outer layer respectively, the step of compression-molding the molding material for the core and/or the molding material for the outer layer, and the step of compression-molding the whole molding with a core, wherein: the step of supplying the molding material for the outer layer posterior to the step of supplying the molding material for the core is performed until a tip of the lower center punch finally takes a position protruding from a tip of the lower outer punch; and the step of compression-molding the whole molding with a core is performed with the tips of the lower center punch and the lower outer punch aligned with each other. This method can be expected to bring about the effect of enhancing the strength of a portion of outer layer forming the sidewall of the molding and/or the effect of allowing the molding material for the outer layer supplied after the step of supplying the molding material for the core to be led to under the temporary molding of the core thereby making it possible to manufacture a molding with a core through the molding material supply step performed twice.

IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 2005-02-11
Granted: 2014-04-22
Abstract: A stud or joist sensor and associated sensing method using an amplitude and a ratio of capacitance measurements from a plurality of capacitive sensing elements. The sensor locates a feature of an object or discontinuity behind a surface or wall, such as an edge and/or a center of a stud behind the surface, a joist under a floorboard, a gap behind sheetrock, a metal conductor behind a surface or the like. The sensor may be moved over the surface, thereby detecting changes in capacitance. The change in capacitance is due to the effective dielectric constant caused by the passage over a hidden object such as a stud. When two capacitive sensing elements provide equivalent capacitance measures, the sensor is over a centerline of the stud. When a ratio of the capacitance measurements equals a transition ratio, the sensor is over an edge of the stud. When the sensor is over the stud and the capacitance measurements are low, the sensor is over a deep stud.
