Abstract: An EP catheter includes a tip electrode having a core primarily comprised of copper with an outer layer of a biocompatible metal disposed thereon exhibits appropriate electrical and thermal conduction characteristics while being cost-effective to produce. Alternatively, an inner layer of a biocompatible metal is disposed on the inside of the primarily copper core. Such a tip electrode may also be provided with irrigation lumens. Such a tip electrode could be manufactured from sheets of metal that upon extrusion would comprise the outer layer, core and optional inner layer respectively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a PET image of a tissue using a PET scanner that includes scintillation crystals and detectors. A first crystal group including a first subset of crystals is formed, and a second crystal group including a second subset of the crystals is formed. The crystals in the first crystal group are different from crystals in the second crystal group A first beam striking one or more crystals of the first crystal group is converted to a first electrical signal, while a second beam striking one or more crystals of the second crystal group is converted to a second electrical signal, wherein the second beam is scattered from the first beam. The second electrical signal is corrected using a correction factor derived from at least one of a first and second timing relationships to compensate for energy in the second signal scattered from the first signal. An image of the tissue is created using the corrected second electrical signal.

Abstract: A system for producing preferential damage to hair exiting mammalian skin. A agent having an average diameter for enabling the agent to penetrate the hair duct is selected. The agent is designed to attach to, or become physically incorporated into, the hair shaft, the hair follicle, the hair bulb or the hair duct. The agent has an electromagnetic radiation absorption characteristic which enables the agent to absorb a first wavelength of electromagnetic radiation from a skin-penetrating electromagnetic radiation source, such as a laser. The agent is applied to the skin so that the agent penetrates the skin and attaches to or becomes physically incorporated into the hair shaft, the hair follicle, the hair bulb or the hair duct. The agent is exposed to the first wavelength of electromagnetic radiation and absorbs the first wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: A elongate tubular catheter uses spirally sliced tubes to provide flexible support having pushability in a number of roles. The spirally sliced tube may be used in place of a stiffening tube thereby providing a catheter that can have variable degrees of flexibility along its length. Alternatively, the spirally sliced tube may be used in place of a compression wire or other puller wire sleeve. The spirally sliced tubes may also be used as the inner or outer wall of an irrigation lumen within the catheter. The flexibility of the catheter can be easily modified during manufacture by varying the pitch angle of the spiral slice. Flexibility along the length of the catheter can also be modified by using one or more spirally sliced tubes or tubes in which only portions are spirally sliced.

Abstract: A thermal processor includes an oven for thermally developing an imaging media which produces gaseous contaminants during development. The gaseous contaminants includes odorous portions and condensable portions which have a condensation temperature. A contaminant removal cartridge has a housing configured to couple to the oven, a heat exchanger, and a filter module. The heat exchanger receives from the oven at least a first air flow at a first temperature, wherein the first temperature is above the condensation temperature, and including gaseous contaminants. The heat exchanger cools the first air flow to a desired filtering temperature, which is below the condensation temperature, to condense and collect the condensable portion of the gaseous contaminants and form a filtering air flow. The filter module receives the filtering air flow, to collect the remaining condensed contaminants, and to absorb the odorous portion of the gaseous contaminants to form an exhaust air flow.

Abstract: An air mattress has a resilient front panel, an opposed rear panel and at least one interior panel extending therebetween dividing the mattress into ball and strike chambers. A ball air valve attached to the rear panel at the ball chamber activates in response to a predetermined pressure increase in the chamber occurring in response to deflection of the front panel at the ball chamber. A strike air valve attached to the rear panel at the strike chamber activates in response to a predetermined pressure increase in the chamber occurring in response to deflection of the front panel at the strike chamber. Signaling devices alert when a strike or ball air valve activates informing a user whether a pitch is a ball or a strike.
