    摘要: The current invention provides an endotracheal tube fabricated with an array of electrodes disposed on an inflatable cuff on the tube. The array of electrodes includes multiple sense electrodes and a current electrode. The array of electrodes on the inflatable cuff is applied using a positive displacement dispensing system, such as a MicroPen®. A ground electrode is disposed on the tube approximately midway between the inflatable cuff and the midpoint of the endotracheal tube. The endotracheal tube is partially inserted into a mammalian subject's airway such that when the inflatable cuff is inflated, thereby fixing the tube in position, the array of electrodes is brought into close contact with the tracheal mucosa in relative proximity to the aorta. The endotracheal tube is useful in the measurement of cardiac parameters such as cardiac output.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are presented for electrostatic deposition of dry powder to a tablet, capsule, or a specific area of any of a wide range of pharmaceutical substrates. The apparatus includes: a magnetic brush having a rotatable multi-pole magnetic core and a stationary outer shell; a developer supply for supplying a magnetic developer powder, consisting of a magnetic carrier particles and pharmaceutical dry powder particles, to the magnetic brush; a print head on the outer shell; a tablet or other pharmaceutical substrate arranged in spaced relation to the print head to define a pharmaceutical powder transfer region through which the substrate can be moved. The print head includes an array of microchannels for forming a plurality of parallel lines of developer in the channels, a corresponding plurality of transfer electrodes located in the microchannels for selectively transferring pharmaceutical powder from the lines to a substrate, driver circuitry for generating and applying transfer signals to the transfer electrodes, a power supply connection for applying power to the drive circuitry, a print signal input connection for applying print signals to the print head, and a logic and control circuit for applying the print signals to the drive circuitry.In one embodiment the width of an individual microchannel print head and the rotating multipole magnetic core is approximately the same dimension as the tablet or substrate to which pharmaceutical powder is to be deposited. In a further embodiment individual microchannel print heads can be arranged along the length of the shell to simultaneously deposit pharmaceutical powder to an array of tablets. In still a further embodiment the microchannel print head is shaped to conform to the tablet or capsule geometry to enhance deposition in three dimensions.In another embodiment the microchannel print head is formed on a silicon substrate onto which are also formed a multiplicity of individual drive circuits connected through separate conductive paths to individual transfer electrodes. In a further embodiment all the microelectronic circuitry necessary for the operation of the integrated microchannel print head is formed on the silicon substrate.

    摘要: A method for selective transfer of a color organic layer from a donor layer onto a device having an array of pixels with each pixel formed from color subpixels, includes the steps of providing a substrate having opposing first and second surfaces; forming a light transmissive heat insulating layer over the first surface of the substrate; forming a light absorbing layer over the heat insulating layer; providing the substrate with an array of openings extending from the second surface to the heat insulating layer, the number and positions of the openings corresponding to the number and positions of the color subpixels of the device, and each opening having a size equal to or smaller than the size of the color subpixel. The method also includes providing a transferable color forming organic donor layer formed on the light absorbing layer; positioning the device in contact or close proximity to the donor layer in an oriented relationship between the openings in the substrate and the corresponding color subpixels on the device; and employing a source of radiation for producing sufficient heat at the light absorbing layer over the openings to cause the selective transfer of portions of the transferable color forming organic donor layer to the corresponding color subpixels of the device.
