    摘要: An optical sensor includes a sensing pair of complementary emitter and detector elements for measuring the bulk absorptivity (&agr;) of an area parallel to and including a hemodialysis access site, and a normalizing pair of complementary emitter and detector elements for measuring the absorptivity (&agr;o) of the tissue itself perpendicular to the access site. The pairs of emitter and detector elements define two lines at right angles to each other, and one of the pairs lies to one side of the line defined by the other of the pairs, such that the two pairs of emitter and detector elements form a “T” shape. Indicator dilution techniques are used to measure vascular access flow rates during routine hemodialysis, using the sensor.

    摘要: An electronic device, such as a portable telephone or PDA, has a display in the form of a pixel display with an image deflection system overlying the display. The display is controlled to provide at least two independent display images which, when displayed through the image deflection system, are individually visible from different viewing positions relative to the screen. Suitably, the image deflection system comprises a lenticular screen with the lenticles extending horizontally or vertically across the display such that the different views may be seen through tilting of the device.

    摘要: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit having a buried doped region is disclosed. A thermal oxide layer is formed over a portion of a p-type substrate at which an n+ buried doped region is not to be formed, masking the implant for the buried doped region. Anneal of the implant is performed in an oxidizing atmosphere, growing further oxide over the surface. The oxide layers are removed, and a p-type blanket implant is performed for isolation purposes and, if desired, to form a p-type buried doped region; the doping concentration of the n+ buried doped region retards diffusion of the boron to the surface thereover. Alternatively, a higher than normal doping level in the substrate can provide sufficient boron for isolation. An epitaxial layer is then grown over the surface, and the n-well is formed by implanting n-type dopant, with the p-well regions masked by a nitride mask; anneal of the n-well is also done in an oxidizing environment, so that consumption of a portion of the n-well by the oxide further planarizes the topography of the device.

    摘要: Stack gases of a burner, such as a power plant or other combustion source, may be remediated by a captive algae farm cycling some portion of the stack gases through a scrubber, and ultimately out into a manifold feeding a farm composed of tubes hosting the growth of algae. Liquids from the scrubber, including water capturing volatile organic compounds, solid particulates, nitrogen compounds, sulfur compounds, carbon dioxide, and the like, remediate the water and feed the algae farm. Meanwhile, the vapors and other gases provide an environment rich in water vapor, nitrogen compounds acting as fertilizer, and carbon dioxide to feed the algae to promote increased rates of growth. The algae may be recycled as a fuel itself, or may be harvested for use as a soil amendment to enrich the organic content of soils.

    摘要: A cuff for measuring volume and change in volume of a body appendage includes a hollow, rigid tube having an inner surface; and a bladder having an inner surface and an outer surface, the ends of the bladder being sealed to the ends of the tube to create an enclosed internal volume between the inner surface of the bladder and the inner surface of the tube and an external volume defined by the outer surface of the bladder and surrounded by the internal volume, the bladder having a normal, relaxed state, in which the internal volume is filled with a fluid and a retracted state in which the fluid is evacuated from the internal volume. Two stiffener ribs placed on the inner surface of the bladder, parallel to each other and to the lengthwise axis of the tube at diametrically opposite positions. A plurality of emitters and detectors arranged in a linear array are embedded in one of the ribs, so as to emit and detect light through the bladder. A fluid port extending through the tube and communicating with the internal volume, through which the internal volume can be filled with or emptied of the fluid.

    摘要: Indicator dilution techniques are used to measure vascular access flow rates during routine hemodialysis. A bolus injection port is used to infuse a specific volume (Vi) of an indicator diluent, such as saline or dye, into the patient cardiovascular circuit by one of the following: 1. Needle injection of a known volume (bolus) of indicator diluent directly into the access site in the presence or absence of the hemodialysis circuit. 2. Infusion of an indicator diluent into the arterial, venous line upstream of the venous needle. 3. Turning the ultrafiltration of the dialysis delivery system from OFF to ON and OFF again over a predetermined time period. 4. In a hemodialysis circuit, turning on the hemodialysis pump and using the priming saline volume as a single saline bolus. A transdermal sensor is used to measure the percent change in a blood parameter. The sensor is positioned directly over the vascular access site a prescribed distance downstream of the injection site and upstream of the access-vein connection. The sensor employs emitter and detector elements at multiple spacings (d1, d2) for the purpose of measuring the bulk absorptivity (&agr;) of the area immediately surrounding and including the access site, and the absorptivity (&agr;o) of the tissue itself.
