Disclosed are adhesives and processes for preparing the same, comprising at least one first homogeneous ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer, and optionally at least one tackifier, and optionally at least one plasticizer. The claimed adhesives are useful as adhesives such as are employed in various applications, such as in masking tape, clear office tape, labels, decals, bandages, decorative and protective sheets (such as shelf and drawer liners), floor tiles, sanitary napkin/incontinence device placement strips, sun control films, the joining of gaskets to automobile windows, packaging, bookbinding, construction of nonwoven articles, and insulation bonding.

A pair of glasses includes a first lens and a second lens. A frame section is adapted to secure the first lens and the second lens. A first bow and a second bow are attached to the frame section. At least one of the first bow and the second bow defines at least one critical section and the at least one critical section has a thickness that is different from the remaining thicknesses of the bows. The at least one critical section is at least partially translucent to a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.

Methods and apparatus for accurately and painlessly measuring the impedance between defibrillation electrodes implanted in a patient utilize a high current test pulse delivered with a sufficiently high current to produce an accurate measurement of the defibrillation electrode impedance while limiting the duration of the test pulse such that the pain sensing cells in the patient do not perceive the test pulse. In one embodiment, the test pulse is generated from the high voltage transformer without storing energy in the high voltage capacitors and is delivered to the defibrillation electrodes in the patient utilizing the high voltage switching circuitry.

The basic object of this invention is the use of light selective materials and fabrics to increase the utility of a garment or sports article. The invention is the novel idea that light selective materials and fabrics can radically improve the usefulness, pleasure, and appeal obtained from sportswear and other garments. Examples taught include life vests, ski vests, ski pants, ski helmet/hat, and sunglasses.

An electrical immobilization weapon to incapacitate a target to improve the effective range of the device along with increasing safety to the target. The embodiments include a first and second arm rotating horizontally from the device, a first and second electrically conductive dart angled to improve electrically conductive dart spacing at differing distances, and a split bipolar waveform to reduce the cardiac membrane potential of the target.

An implantable, bipolar or multipolar pacing lead comprises a lead body having a proximal end and a distal end portion. A tip electrode is disposed at a distal extremity of the distal end portion of the lead body, the tip electrode being electrically coupled to a first terminal contact on a connector assembly attached to the proximal end of the lead body. The lead further comprises one or more ring electrodes positioned along the distal end portion of the lead body proximally of the tip electrode, with each ring electrode being electrically coupled to a terminal contact on the connector assembly and each ring electrode having distal and proximal ends. The electrical resistance of each ring electrode adjacent each of the ends is greater than that of the portion of the ring electrode between the ends. The reduction of the current density at the higher resistance ends of the ring electrode increases the magnitude of the current that must be delivered to the ring electrode in order for it to pace anodally, thereby inhibiting the tendency to so pace. Also disclosed is an implantable cardiac pacing system incorporating the aforedescribed lead. Further disclosed is a method of fabricating an electrically conductive ring electrode for a pacing lead, the ring electrode having opposed ends, the method comprising forming adjacent each of the opposed ends of the ring electrode a region having an electrical resistance that is greater than that of the portion of the ring electrode between said regions.

摘要:
An implantable cardiac device and method monitors a patient's body impedance so as to diagnose medical problems, such as fluid balance problems in congestive heart failure patients. The device monitors the patient's position and determines an appropriate time for collecting body impedance data when the patient is in repose. The device then obtains a series of measurements of thoracic impedance by transmitting a signal on at least one lead, which may be a standard pacemaker lead, and sensing a signal received at a different point. The series of measurements are combined to obtain desired representations of thoracic impedance. In an embodiment, impedance is represented by an extracellular water (ECW) resistance value and an intracellular water (ICW) resistance value determined using a Cole calculation method.
