    摘要: A frame ensures that the alignment between a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer designed for vaginal use and a commercially available ultrasound image probe is maintained, so that the HIFU focus remains in the image plane during HIFU therapy. A water-filled membrane placed between the HIFU transducer and the treatment site provides acoustic coupling. The coupling is evaluated to determine whether any air bubbles exist at the coupling interface, which might degrade the therapy provided by the HIFU transducer. HIFU lesions on tissue appear as hyperechoic spots on the ultrasound image in real time during application of HIFU therapy. Ergonomic testing in humans has demonstrated clear visualization of the HIFU transducer relative to the uterus and showed the potential for the HIFU transducer to treat fibroids from the cervix to the fundus through the width of the uterus.

    摘要: In one embodiment, content and events are received. The content is analyzed based on to determine a mood score based on events. The mood score is used to classify the content and event with a mood. The mood classification may then be used to affect actions being performed. For example, the mood may affect ad matching to the content. In one example, depending on the mood that is calculated, different ads may be matched to different portions of the content. Accordingly, more effective ads may be served with the content when the mood classification is taken into account.

    摘要: A plurality of concepts related to HIFU therapy are disclosed, including a technique to spatially track and display the relative positions of a HIFU focal point and an imaging plane from an ultrasound imager, so that a clinician can ensure that the HIFU focus remains in the image plane during HIFU therapy, thereby facilitating image guided HIFU therapy. Also disclosed are a plurality of transvaginal probes that include a HIFU transducer optimized for the treatment of uterine fibroids. In one embodiment, the probe includes a piezoceramic crystal bonded to an aluminum lens, to achieve a HIFU transducer having a focal length of about 4 cm. In another embodiment, the probe includes a generally spoon-shaped transducer including a plurality of individual emitter elements. Still another concept disclosed herein is a method for evaluating a quality of a coupling between a liquid-filled volume encompassing a HIFU transducer and a tissue interface.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with improved adhesion between the local interconnect etch stop layer and the thermal oxide in an isolation region. The thermal oxide is treated with an NH.sub.3 /N.sub.2 plasma. The local interconnect etch stop layer is either silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride. A layer of a dielectric material such as PECVD SiO.sub.2 is formed on the local interconnect etch stop layer.
