    摘要: A self-powered medical device, for example a pacemaker uses the variations of blood pressure inside the heart or a major artery to create a mechanical resonance in an electromagnetic or piezoelectric generator. The resonance extends the time power is generated during the cardiac cycle. The pressure variations compress a bellows carrying the resonant generator. The inside of the bellows may be evacuated to a partial or full vacuum, and a spring restores the bellows to the desired equilibrium point, acting against the blood pressure. The current pulses are stored in a capacitor. Eliminating the battery allows dramatic miniaturization of the medical device to the point it can be implanted at the point of desired stimulation via a catheter.

    摘要: The water contents of the tissue is measured by placing part of the body, such as the arm or ankle, between two capacitive electrodes and calculating the water contents based on the dielectric properties of the tissue. The device is shaped like a bracelet or hinged clip. When placed over part of the body the hinge position is measured to normalize the reading for the tissue thickness. The device can alert the user of water retention, and can also contact the physician directly via a wireless link.

    摘要: A blood pump for cardiac assist is made up from a catheter having a collapsible outer delivery tube and an inner suction tube that can be collapsible as well. The diameter of the tubing is reduced at the entry point to the body an a hole in the side of the delivery tube provides blood flow to the organs downstream from the catheter insertion point. The catheter is connected to an elastic tubing loop which forms a peristaltic pump when stretched over rotating arms equipped with rollers.

    摘要: An automatic atherectomy system uses a rotary burr at the tip of a catheter as a sensing device, in order to measure both electrical conductivity and permittivity of surrounding tissue at multiple frequencies. From these parameters it is determined which tissue lies in different directions around the tip. A servo system steers the catheter tip in the direction of the tissue to be removed. In non-atherectomy applications the rotary burr can be replaced with any desired tool and the system can be used to automatically steer the catheter to the desired position. The steering may be done hydraulically, by pressurizing miniature bellows located near the catheter tip.

    摘要: An elastic structure is introduced percutaneously into the left ventricle and attached to the walls of the ventricle. Over time the structure bonds firmly to the walls via scar tissue formation. The structure helps the ventricle expand and fill with blood during the diastolic period while having little affect on systolic performance. The structure also strengthens the ventricular walls and limits the effects of congestive heart failure, as the maximum expansion of the support structure is limited by flexible or elastic members.

    摘要: The invention can selectively heat a diseased area or undesired tissue in the body while minimizing heating to the healthy area and surrounding tissue. This is done by exposing the undesired tissue to a scanning focused microwave beam arriving from different directions, all directions passing through the undesired tissue. The invention is particularly useful for heating tissues in which the undesired tissue has reduced blood flow. The undesired area will heat up rapidly while the healthy tissue will be cooled by the blood flow. This is particularly effective for treating emphysema because of the low mass of the lungs and the high blood flow.

    摘要: The lens at the tip of a laparoscopic camera is kept clean by creating a compartment in front of it pressurized by CO2 gas. The gas exits the compartment via a small aperture that also serves as an aperture for the optical system. The escaping gas is vented to the body cavity. Because of the small size of the aperture, even a small gas flow prevents fluids from entering the cavity and soiling the lens.
