摘要:
In a safety device for vehicle occupants with acceleration-sensitive sensors and with processing circuits for the sensors summing and integrating devices as well as a comparator device for comparing the summation and integration values are provided. The comparator device controls a warning device as soon as the comparison value exceeds a presettable limit value.
摘要:
A method for performing intraocular brachytherapy and an apparatus for performing the same is disclosed. The apparatus preferably comprises a hand-held delivery device that advances a radiation source into an associated cannula or probe that is positioned adjacent the target tissue. The handpiece provides for shielded storage of the radiation source when retracted from the cannula and includes a slider mechanism for advancing and retracting the radiation source. The radiation source is mounted to a wire that has a flexible distal end and a relatively stiffer proximal end. A positioning system for the cannula is also disclosed.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for intraocular brachytherapy are disclosed in which a cannula is introduced into the eye for delivery of radiation to a target tissue. Techniques for properly locating the cannula with respect to the target tissue, for protecting non-target tissue, for regulating heat generated by x-ray emitters, and for combining therapies are disclosed.

摘要:
A flexible, radioactive radiation source in the form of a wire or other elongated shape, comprising a matrix of a ductile and/or plastic binder material and a radioactive and/or activatable material. The elastic binder material is preferably a metal, a metal alloy, or a radiation resistant plastic material, or a mixture of these, and the radioactive material, or activatable material once activated, is a &bgr;-emitter, a &ggr;-emitter, or an x-ray emitter. The source may be contained, for example, within a tube, capsule, or coating. The flexible, radioactive radiation source may be used for intravascular radiation treatment of cancer, tumor, non-malignant cell growth, scar tissue, or to prevent restenosis.
