Abstract:
A plastic injection molded lens for a left and a right rear-view mirror of an automobile is injection formed into shape in a mold. The lens is formed integrally with a major mirror surface zone and a minor mirror surface zone that are different from each other in radian of curved surface. By so designing, the visual field of the rear-view mirror is much wider and produces no dead angles of vision; therefore, the rear-view mirror of this invention is needless to be adjusted for keeping away from the dead angles of eyesight.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for generating vapor within a catheter are provided which may include any number of features. One feature is generating vapor with a fiber optic, laser fiber optic, or fiber optic bundle within a catheter. Another feature is sensing a temperature of the fiber optic, and adjusting the power delivered to the electrode array to fully generate vapor within the catheter. Another feature is delivering the vapor to a vein of a patient for vein reduction therapy.
Abstract:
A pair of elastically collapsible goggles in the present invention is mainly composed of a lens rim and two temples. The two temples respectively have a front section integrally formed with an elastic portion to enable the temples to be automatically and elastically collapsed and laid on the inner side of the lens rim when the goggles are not used. Thus, the goggles of this invention can conveniently be elastically collapsed, practical in use.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for generating vapor within a catheter are provided which may include any number of features. One feature is generating vapor with an electrode array within a catheter. Another feature is sensing an impedance of the electrode array, and adjusting the power delivered to the electrode array to fully generate vapor within the catheter. Another feature is delivering the vapor to a vein of a patient for vein reduction therapy.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to apparatus and methods for tightening tissue of the female genitalia by heating targeted connective tissue with radiant energy, while cooling the mucosal epithelial surface over the target tissue to protect it from the heat. Embodiments include a handle and treatment tip that has both an energy delivery element and a cooling mechanism. The handle may be a two-handed handle allowing control even while rotating and maneuvering the treatment around the genital opening. The apparatus or system may also include an integrated controller, which may confirm tissue contact without applying RF energy, based only on the temperature of the applicator and the time since the last application of energy from the applicator.
