摘要:
A device and method of promoting tissue adhesion to reinforce tissue apposition that may include collecting advancing a tissue apposition device to a body cavity having cavity calls, collecting tissue from the cavity walls, passing at least one tissue securement device through the tissue, applying energy to the collected tissue to produce injury to the tissue, and apposing the collected tissue and securing the one or more tissue securement devices. In this illustrative embodiment, the device and method promotes tissue adhesion between one or more portions of tissue, wherein the tissue adhesion may reinforce a tissue apposition.

A multi-channel apparatus for classifying particles according to one or more particle characteristics. The apparatus comprises a plurality of flow cytometry units, each of which is operable to classify particles in a mixture of particles by interrogating a stream of fluid containing the particles with a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The flow cytometry units share an integrated platform comprising at least one of the following: (1) a common supply of particles; (2) a common housing; (3) a common processor for controlling operation of the units; (4) a common processor for receiving and processing information from the units; and (5) a common fluid delivery system. The integrated platform can include a common source of electromagnetic radiation. A method of the invention comprises using a plurality of flow cytometry units sharing the integrated platform to perform a flow kilometric operation, such as analyzing or sorting particles.
摘要:
Defect detection in a software system made of multiple computer program programs is facilitated by using information about cross-program interactions and dependency relationships between programs to analyze the individual programs in such a way that the behavior of the system as a whole is accurately represented. A list of dependency relationships is read in; these dependency relationships are used to determine an order in which the programs should be analyzed. The programs are then analyzed in that order. Information from the analysis of the programs is used to inform the analysis of subsequently-analyzed programs.
摘要:
Embodiments include devices and methods. One embodiment includes a method for imaging an endometrial cavity, including acquiring a plurality of images using an imaging system. A first part of the imaging system is positioned within the endometrial cavity. At least portions of two or more of the images are combined into a representation of at least a portion of the endometrial cavity. The combining at least portions of two of the images may include determining any motion of the first part of the imaging system, between the two or more of the images. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
An electrode assembly for an arrangement of electrodes used in a plasma surface treatment apparatus. The electrode assembly includes an electrode body formed of a dielectric material and having two spaced end walls. One or more flow channels are defined between the end walls for passage of cooling fluid to cool the electrode body. The flow channel(s) are configured such that a direct flow path exists for the cooling fluid from one of the end walls to the other of the two end walls to inhibit recirculation of the cooling fluid and therefore hot spots developing in the electrode body. Openings within the end walls are provided for passage of the cooling fluid. A high voltage conductor is located within the flow passage(s) so that heat produced at the high voltage conductor is dissipated by the cooling fluid.
摘要:
A refill monitoring system that is either imprinted or impressed directly on the item or container such as packaging, cups, bottles, cans, bags, or the refill monitoring system can be embodied in the form of a sticker or label affixed or adhered to the exterior surface of the container and the refill monitoring system including indicia printed thereon indicating the company and/or logo, the address of the business and other germane information, and legal verbiage explaining the particular business establishment's refill policy, and indicia generally in the form of circles that can be punched, marked, mutilated for denoting each discrete instance of product refill so that the employees/owners of the establishment can easily and visually track the number of refills per customer thereby preventing abuse and waste and monitoring and controlling expenses.
摘要:
System for managing web calls to a computer system including multiple computers. The system monitors the health of the computers for problems which could lead to disruption of service to users. Detected problems are mitigated by dividing the computers into different computer groups and routing users to the different computer groups so as to isolate, in one of the computer groups, a group of users potentially responsible for the problems.
摘要:
One embodiment relates to a method of monitoring the heart of a subject for evidence of at least one of myocardial ischemia and infarction (MI/I). The method includes sensing an intra-cardiac electrical signal from at least one lead positioned in a subject. The method also includes detecting MI/I using at least one of the QRS portion of the intra-cardiac electrical signal and the ST portion of the intra-cardiac electrical signal. The detecting MI/I includes using an integer coefficient filter to extract MI/I information from the intra-cardiac electrical signal.
摘要:
Devices and methods are described. One apparatus includes a stent including a sensor coupled thereto, the sensor including a material that oscillates when subjected to an applied magnetic field. The material may include at least one material selected from magnetoelastic materials and magnetorestrictive materials. The apparatus may further include a system adapted to monitor the sensor, the system including a generator adapted to apply a magnetic field that generates physical oscillations in the sensor, and a monitor adapted to detect magnetic fluctuation generated from the physical oscillations in the sensor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A powder paint canister assembly includes a canister body having a color changer manifold, a purge ring, and at least one venturi pump attached thereto. The canister body interior includes a fluidization plate and a fluidization distribution plate adjacent a preferably oval inlet to the venturi pump for supplying powder material from the canister. The color changer manifold includes a plurality of manifold modules each having two pinch valve assemblies with quick disconnect inlet fittings for supplying powders of different colors. The purge air ring supplies purge air to the canister through a plurality of apertures of different orientations.
