Abstract: In an optical scanning device, a light beam (L) is focused astigmatically by an objective lens (O) on a record carrier, e.g. a disk (CD), which reflects it onto a four-quadrant photodetector (PD). The astigmatism is produced by an astigmatic element, e.g., a concave or convex cylindrical lens (ZX) or two mutually perpendicular transparent disks located in the beam path. The light beam (L) can be moved radially by a coarse drive. The objective lens (O) can also be moved radially by a fine drive in a direction (W) which makes an angle $g(a) to the normals (R) to the data tracks (S). However, the movement of the objective lens (O) controlled by the fine drive through the angle $g(a) causes imaging defects on the four-quadrant photodector (A, B, C, D), which lead to faulty focusing. To prevent faulty focusing due to imaging defects, a preferred axis of the astigmatic element, e.g., a cylindrical lens or two mutually perpendicular transparent disks, runs parallel to the direction of movement (W) of the objective lens. In the case of a convex cylindrical lens (ZX), the longitudinal axis (LA) is parallel to the direction of motion (W) of the objective lens. In the case of a concave cylindrical lens, the transverse axis is parallel to the direction of motion (W) of the objective lens. In the case of two mutually perpendicular transparent disks, the straight line SG which intersects the two disks is perpendicular to the direction of motion (W) of the objective lens.

Abstract: In a displacement sensor, which is designed as a level sensor and has a magnet holder (1) which can be moved along a reed contact carrier (2) and is constructed as a float, small, radially aligned, axially magnetised magnet members (4, 5; 6, 7) are arranged in the magnet holder (1) on two graduated circles (8, 9) situated one above another. The magnet members (4, 5) of in each case one graduated circle (8 or 9) are all magnetised in the same sense with respect to one another, but in the opposite sense relative to the magnet members (6, 7) of the other graduated circle (9). This gives rise to a displacement sensor having a particularly weak stray field. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A guide wire (20) for a catheter has a solid tubular portion with a flexible body fixed to its distal end (22). The distal end (22) of the body may be composed of a material more radiopaque than its proximal portion. Optical fibers (24) are disposed within the assembly and terminate in a radiopaque tip at the distal end (22) of the body. The guide wire (20) may have a longitudinal marker wire (32) for providing stiffness and radioscopic tracking characteristics. The guide wire (20) has a proximal end attached to the tube and a distal end (22) that also terminates in the tip. The invention may be maneuvered and positioned in a vascular area like a conventional guide wire. Then, laser energy from a laser light source at a proximal end of the guide wire is conveyed to the vascular area by the optical fibers (24) to ablate an obstruction. A larger catheter may then be slid over the guide wire to continue the ablation operation. Employing polyester tubing for the distal body, the guide wire may be used in peripheral angioplasty applications. Alternatively, the distal body may be implemented with a metal coil and may be used in coronary angioplasty.

Abstract: The process for producing out-of-alignment through-holes through substrate materials, in which the projections of the inlets and outlets do not coincide, is characterised, firstly, by etching windows being laid out in an offset manner on both sides and, secondly, by sufficiently strong undercutting of said windows. By laying out etching windows, which are displaced with respect to one another, on both sides of the substrate and by the substrate being etched through, through the windows laid out, "oblique" through-holes result in the substrate. It is also possible, solely by laying out the windows in an appropriate manner, to produce branched through-holes having more than one outlet. <IMAGE>
