    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for cleaning a thin disc. In accordance with a first aspect, an apparatus is provided that includes a tank adapted to contain a fluid, and at least one support mechanism adapted to support a thin disc such that the thin disc is at least partially submerged in the fluid. The apparatus further includes a plurality of transducers each adapted to produce energy waves in the fluid, and a controller adapted to adjust the energy waves produced by each transducer so as to scan an energy wave maximum along a surface of a thin disc supported by the at least one support mechanism.

    Abstract: An electrode catheter assembly for ablation of obstructive material formed within and around a stent inserted within a lumen includes an elongate flexible tube having a distal end and a proximal end, and an electrode assembly attached to the distal end of the tube. The electrode assembly includes: a first electrode formed by a cylindrical body defining a longitudinal axis and having a first end, and an opposite second end, the body having a plurality of slits formed therein, each of the slits extending parallel to the axis from a corresponding first point proximate the first end to a corresponding second point proximate the second end, the slits defining a plurality of elongated deformable segments; and a second electrode disposed along the axis at a distance from the first electrode. A spacer means, disposed between the first and second electrodes, is operative to physically separate and electrically insulate the first electrode from the second electrode. Electrical transmission means provides a first electrical path between a power supply and the first electrode, and a second electrical path between the second electrode and the power supply. Actuator means is provided for moving the first end toward the second end of the body causing the segments to be deformed so that portions thereof are extended radially away from the axis, whereby when the catheter assembly is inserted into a lumen and positioned within an occluded stent, the deformable segments establish an electrically conductive path to the stent.

    Abstract: An etch rate monitor for use with semiconductor wafer etching processes includes a source of light of normal incidence to the wafer surface through a window in the etching chamber. In a first embodiment, a Fresnel or positive lens is used to collect some of the diffraction orders caused by the repetitive patterns on the wafer surface which merge from the window. In alternate embodiments, a concave spherical mirror and/or a photodetector system are used to collect the diffraction orders. A collimating lens applies these diffraction orders of normal incidence to interference filters which reject plasma and ambient light and pass the diffraction orders to a photodetector to monitor etch rate as a function of the cycle period between interference minima or maxima caused by the difference in path length between the etched and not etched surfaces of the wafer.

    Abstract: Particle distribution in a fluid flowing through a microscopic tube is achieved by flowing the fluid vertically-downward through a transparent capillary tube and passing light through the flowing fluid. A linear array of photodiodes responds to light passing through the fluid by registering a series of signals representing the linear projection of particles passing through the plane defined by the light source and the photodiode array. The fluid is supplied from a reservoir which can be selectively pressurized by a gas to control the egress flow rate of fluid. A syringe serves as the egress path from the reservoir and a rotatable stirring rod is disposed in the syringe to stir the egressing fluid. The syringe feeds a disposable assembly which includes a hypodermic needle feeding the capillary tube which is mounted between a microscope slide and cover in the path of the sensing light.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for use in performing ablation of organs and other tissues includes a radio frequency generator which provides a radio frequency signal to ablation electrodes. The power level of the radio frequency signal is determined based on the subject area of ablation. The radio frequency signal is coupled with the ablation electrodes through a transformation circuit. The transformation circuit includes a high impedance transformation circuit and a low impedance transformation circuit. The high or low impedance transformation circuit is selected based on the impedance of the ablation electrodes in contact with the subject tissue. Vacuum level, impedance level, resistance level, and time are measured during ablation. If these parameters exceed determinable limits the ablation procedure is terminated.
