Apparatus and method for cryogenic inhibition of hyperplasia
InactiveUS6355029B1Enhanced inhibitory effectEasy to controlCatheterSurgical instruments for coolingPercutaneous angioplastyBalloon catheter
Post-angioplasty hyperplasia in blood vessels is treated using a cryosurgical balloon catheter. The balloon catheter is positioned at a target region within the blood vessel, and the balloon inflated by expanding a cryogenic fluid, such as liquid nitrogen, across an expansion orifice into a balloon. The balloon will be constructed so that cooling is achieved primarily in the central regions of the balloon, with the proximal and distal regions being less cold and acting to insulate adjacent regions of the blood vessel from excessive cooling.

InactiveUS6187269B1Improve storage stabilityConveniently formedAnalysis using chemical indicatorsMaterial analysis by observing effect on chemical indicatorAntibodyBiomedical engineering
Storage stability of an assay device, comprising an assay strip and sensitive reagents such as antibodies within a plastics casing, is maintained by moulding some or all of the casing from dessicant-containing plastics material, especially a blend of about 60-65% polystyrene and about 30% silica dust. Ideally the desiccant-containing plastics material is used in the moulding of a removable cap for the device. The cap can be made by sandwich injection moulding, using the dessicant-containing polystyrene as a core, surrounded by conventional polystyrene.

Electrical detectors for microanalysis
InactiveUS20050118705A1Improve sensitivity and accuracyHigh sensitivityBioreactor/fermenter combinationsBiological substance pretreatmentsMicroelectrodeElectricity
Apparatus and methods for performing microanalysis of particles using a microelectrical-mechanical system (MEMS) chip to electrically interrogate the particles. The MEMS chip is typically manufactured using known lithographic micromachining techniques, employed for example, in the semiconductor industry. A substrate carries a plurality of microelectrodes disposed in a detection zone and spaced apart along an axis of a microchannel. The microchannel is sized in cross-section to cause particles carried by a fluid to move past the electrodes in single file. Impedance is measured between one or more pairs of electrodes to determine the presence of a particle in the detection zone. In certain embodiments used in cell manipulation, an electroporation signal may be applied between one or more pairs of electrodes to enhance permeability of a cell membrane. A structural arrangement may be provided to introduce a treatment substance into the microchannel in the vicinity of a cell, which may be restrained for a period of time in a treatment zone.

Coupled cavity high power semiconductor laser
InactiveUS20060029120A1Maximize circulating fundamental laser powerConvenient registrationOptical resonator shape and constructionSemiconductor lasersFundamental frequencyPartial reflection
An active gain region sandwiched between a 100% reflective bottom Bragg mirror and an intermediate partially reflecting Bragg mirror is formed on a lower surface of a supporting substrate, to thereby provide the first (“active”) resonator cavity of a high power coupled cavity surface emitting laser device. The reflectivity of the intermediate mirror is kept low enough so that laser oscillation within the active gain region will not occur. The substrate is entirely outside the active cavity but is contained within a second (“passive”) resonator cavity defined by the intermediate mirror and a partially reflecting output mirror, where it is subjected to only a fraction of the light intensity that is circulating in the gain region. In one embodiment, non-linear optical material inside each passive cavity of an array converts an IR fundamental wavelength of each laser device to a corresponding visible harmonic wavelength, and the external output cavity mirror comprises a Volume Bragg grating (VBG) or other similar optical component that is substantially reflective at the fundamental frequency and substantially transmissive at the harmonic frequency. The VBG used in an array of such devices may be either flat, which simplifies registration and alignment during manufacture, or may be configured to narrow the IR spectrum fed back into the active resonant cavity and to shape the spatial mode distribution inside the cavity, thereby reducing the size of the mode and compensating for any deformations in the semiconductor array.

The invention relates to the manufacturing of a multilayer structure and especially it relates to the manufacturing of a three-dimensional structure and its use as an electronics assembly substrate and as a winding for transformers and inductors. When a multilayer structure is manufactured by folding a conductor-insulator-conductor laminate, where the conductor layers to be separated from each other follow each other on opposite sides of the conductor-insulator-conductor laminate in the sections following each other and where the insulator has been removed from the places where the conductor layers are to be connected together after folding, it is possible to manufacture a wide range of three-dimensional multilayer structures where the volume occupied by the windings over the total volume can be maximized. Alternatively, by using the method it is also possible to manufacture a multilayer structure where components have been buried inside. The method makes it also possible to make connections between layers in a flexible manner. Among other issues, the method can be easily automated for mass-production.

Device for assaying an analyte, comprising a labelling zone, where a label can bind to the analyte, in communication with a capture zone, wherein the pore size of the capture zone is such that label which is not bound to the analyte can migrate therethrough, whereas label which is bound to the analyte cannot. During migration from the labelling zone (large pore size) to the capture zone (small pore size), unbound label can pass into and through the capture zone, whereas bound label will be captured at the junction of the labelling zone a the capture zone. The device relies upon the label being smaller than the analyte, such that free label is not retarded by the capture zone. It is particularly suitable for assying analytes such as spermatozoa, which are large in comparison with a label such as a labelled antibody.

A liquid metal evaporation source for use in Molecular Beam Epitaxy and related metal vacuum deposition techniques. An evaporator is maintained at a high temperature to evaporate a liquid metal, a reservoir for holding the liquid metal source is maintained at a temperature above the melting point of the metal but below the temperature in the evaporator, and a hollow transport tube connecting the evaporator and reservoir is maintained at a temperature between these temperatures. The reservoir is in the shape of a hollow cylinder with a close-fitting cylindrical piston which is used to force the liquid metal through the hollow transport tube into the evaporator. The liquid metal will not flow past the piston seal if a suitably small gap is formed between the piston and the reservoir walls wherein the surface tension of the liquid metal will exceed its hydrostatic pressure against the piston thus forming a leak-tight seal.

A surround sound speaker system is provided whereby multiple speakers that broadcast acoustic signals representative of sound from different directions may be mounted in one speaker housing rather than in separate speaker housings that are positioned at separate positions within the room. Thus, the present invention eliminates the need to mount and run wiring to separate speakers in the room. Because the number of speakers within the speaker housing can be relatively easily increased, the surround sound speaker system can be utilized to implement even highly complicated surround sound systems such as surround sound system 9.1, which is otherwise very difficult and expensive for the average consumer to install or have installed.
