摘要:
An automated external defibrillator (AED) with an improved rescue protocol is described which follows a “shock first” or a “CPR first” rescue protocol after identification of a treatable arrhythmia, depending upon an estimate of the probability of successful resuscitation made from an analysis of a patient parameter measured at the beginning of the rescue.
摘要:
An external defibrillator is described which maintains the durations of phases of a multiphasic shock waveform within or below desired limits. As the duration of a waveform increases for patients of increased patient impedance, the durations of the phases of a multiphasic shock waveform also increase. Before a maximum duration limit is exceeded, the defibrillator adds another phase to the multiphasic waveform which brings the durations of the phases within the desired range or below a maximum duration limit. Both the number of shock phases and the individual phase durations can be controlled in response to measured patient impedance.

A bi-layer anti-reflective coating for use in photolithographic applications, and specifically, for use in ultraviolet photolithographic processes. The bi-layered anti-reflective coating is used to minimize pattern distortion due to reflections from neighboring features in the construction of microcircuits. The bi-layer anti-reflection coating features a first layer, an absorption layer, disposed on a second layer, a dielectric layer, which is then disposed between a substrate and a photoresist layer. The dielectric/absorption layer comprises one combination selected from Ta/Al2O3, Ta/SiO2, Ta/TiO2, Ta/Ta2O5, Ta/Cr2O3, Ta/Si3N4, Ti/Al2O3, Ti/SiO2, Ti/TiO2, Ti/Ta2O5, Ti/Cr2O3, Ti/Si3N4, Cr/Al2O3, Cr/SiO2, Cr/TiO2, Cr/Ta2O5, Cr/Cr2O3, Cr/Si3N4, Al/Al2O3, Al/TiO2, Al/Ta2O5, Al/Cr2O3, Al/Si3N4, Ni/Al2O3, Ni/SiO2, Ni/TiO2, Ni/Ta2O5, Ni/Cr2O3, Ni/Si3N4, Ir/Al2O3, Ir/SiO2, Ir/TiO2, Ir/Ta2O5, Ir/Cr2O3, and Ir/Si3N4. At least the absorption and dielectric layers can be formed using vacuum deposition. A unique character of the bi-layer anti-reflective coatings is that it allows a thinner anti-reflection layer that has a wider process latitude.

A new method and system for bar code data interchange includes a bar code scanner, such as a high scan rate LED scanner, and reads bar coded information from a video display. This bar coded information is scanned from the video display into a host device. The bar coded information may be sent to a user in a variety of ways, including over the Internet, any intranet, or any type of telephony network. The bar coded information may be viewed by the user on the video display as part of an e-mail message, as displayed on a web-page, or as displayed on television programming. The scanned bar coded information is decoded and may then be used. A first software program may have been used to create the bar coded information, and a second and distinct software application may be used with the now decoded bar coded information.
摘要:
A defibrillation electrode includes a conductive member having first and second opposite side surfaces, a non-conductive backing connected to the first surface of the conductive member, and at least one drug delivery medium in electrical communication with the second surface of the conductive member. The drug delivery medium is adapted to be in surface contact with a patient so as to impart transdermal drug delivery when the electrode is in communication with a power supply.

摘要:
A method of making a carbon/graphite product using a coal tar pitch having a softening point in the range of about 150° C. to 250° C. Also, a carbon/graphite product having a softening point in the range of about 150° C. to 250° C. A method of making mesophase pitch is formed from quinoline insoluble free coal tar pitch distillate from a high efficiency evaporative distillation process.
摘要:
A mixture of carbon-containing fibers, such as mesophase or isotropic pitch fibers, a suitable matrix material, such as a milled pitch is compressed while resistively heating the mixture to form a carbonized composite material. Preferably, the carbonized material has a density of at least about 1.30 g/cm3. Preferably, the composite material is formed in less than ten minutes. This is a significantly shorter time than for conventional processes, which typically take several days and achieve a lower density material. A treating component may be impregnated into the composite. Consequently, carbon composite materials having final densities of about 1.6-1.8 g/cm3 or higher are readily achieved with one or two infiltration cycles using a pitch or other carbonaceous material to fill voids in the composite and rebaking.

摘要:
The halide chemical vapor deposition process deposits a chemical compound comprised of at least two different elements. The method employs a first process gas which includes a halogenated compound of a first one of the at least two different elements, and a second process gas which includes hydrogen and a second one of at least two different elements. The process gases are maintained in separation until they are contacted in a deposition chamber proximate a substrate. The gases, which are generally preheated to a temperature of less than their thermal decomposition temperatures, are contacted in a deposition region proximate the substrate, and react to generate a deposition species and a hydrogen halide which is removed. Also disclosed is an apparatus for practicing the invention.

A method of manufacturing includes 2 mushroom plating process starts with an overplated component which includes an enlarged mushroom head having outer portions which overhang a resist layer. The next step in the first process embodiment is a heating step in which the resist layer is hard baked. Thereafter, using a dry etch process, such as a reactive ion etch (RIE) process, the hard baked resist layer is removed in all areas except beneath the overhang of the mushroom head. The area beneath the overhang thereby remains filled with hard baked resist. Thereafter, the device is ultimately encapsulated such that no voids and/or redeposition problems exist under the overhang due to the presence of the hard baked resist. In an alternative process embodiment of the present invention the dry etch process is conducted first upon the resist layer, such that the resist layer is removed in all areas except under the overhang. Thereafter, the device is baked, such that hard baked resist remains beneath the overhang. Ultimately, the device is encapsulated and no voids or redeposition problems exist beneath the overhang due to the presence of the hard baked resist.
