Title: Implantable device with improved battery recharging and powering configuration
Inventor: FALTYS MICHAEL A
IPC: H01M50/298
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: An implantable system (10), such as a neural stimulator or a cochlear implant system, includes an internal battery (14) having improved recharging and lifetime characteristics. The battery (14) is housed within the implant's case (12) and has first and second electrode plates (24). Each electrode plate has a plurality of slits (26) that extend across a substantial portion of the plate's surface area. The slits in the electrode plates reduce the magnitude of eddy currents induced in the plate by external ac magnetic fields allowing faster battery recharging times. Alternatively, the electrode plates are wrapped in a spiral configuration such that, in the plane of the spiral, the electrode plates have a small cross-sectional area and no closed current loops. Additionally, the implant device is housed in a case (12) formed of a high-resistivity material and a circuit included in the implant device is configured to avoid large current loops that would result in eddy current heating. As a backup option, the circuitry (16) of the implant device may optionally be powered from an external battery (15) that inductively couples energy to the same coil (22) that is used to charge the internal battery (14).  The implantable system may be partitioned into first (152, 112') and second (154, 162) implantable cases, each having electrical circuitry therein, and only one having a rechargeable power source therein, facilitating its subsequent replacement for repair or upgrading purposes. The two cases are coupled together when the system is in use. Coupling is achieved either magnetically using a proximity system (160) or with a detachable electrical cable using a wired system (150). In one embodiment of the wired system, power is transferred from one implant case to the other using a 3-phase transmission scheme.

Patent CA-2300101-A1 (CA)
Title: Torque resistant hinge bearing
Inventor: BAER AUSTIN R
IPC: E05D3/06
Filed: 1998-08-17
Abstract: Two hinge members (20) are pivotally mounted about edges of a clamp (24). Thrust bearings (42) are disposed in recesses in both hinge members for preventing relative movement between the hinge members along the clamp length.     Antirotation portions of the bearings, such as a longitudinal key (34) from the clamp engaging a keyway in the bearing, resist rotation of the bearings caused by torque produced by the hinge members on the bearings.      The thrust bearings may also have a longitudinal free extension (44) on at least one side of a bearing body (46). The extensions increase the effective length of the bearings, limiting rotation. The extensions can be meshable, overlapping, or lockable with other bearings.

Title: Fiber optic lasers employing fiber optic amplifiers
Inventor: MCCALLION KEVIN J
IPC: H01S3/063
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: Ring and linear cavity, fiber optic laser systems are disclosed, employing non-invasive fiber optic amplification technology. A channel overlay waveguide (60) is employed for amplification of optical energy evanescently coupled to the overlay waveguide (60) from the fiber optic (30). One of two amplification methods can be employed. The first involves inducing stimulated emission with the overlay waveguide (60) and the second uses a second order, non-linear frequency conversion to down-convert a high-power, short-wavelength pump signal into the waveguide (60) to amplify the optical energy coupled thereto.  Amplification of optical energy in the channel overlay waveguide (60) can be established within a single beat length of evanescent removal to evanescent return of the optical energy to the fiber optic (30). Intra-cavity elements can be employed to effect, e.g., wavelength selection, optical isolation, or modulation of the resultant optical signal propagating in the fiber optic (30).

Inventor: ADDINGTON ROBERT W
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: Whether a post surgery intubated patient is at risk for aspiration-based pneumonia is determined by requiring the patient to inhale an aerosol of tartaric acid (101) that will stimulate a sensory innervation of the patient's larynx, if functionally recovered, thereby causing the patient to cough. The resulting cough or lack of cough is graded (103) to determine whether the patient is at risk for pneumonia caused by the aspiration of matter present in the patient's mouth. In a further embodiment, the inability or difficulty of a patient to voluntarily expel potentially threatening fluid, and matter from the patient's airway can be remedied by repeated applications of the aerosol chemostimulant spray.
