摘要:
There is disclosed a pipette useful with disposable tips, comprising a plurality of differently-sized pistons and a piston chamber for each piston. Each piston chamber has a vent passageway extending to the exterior surface of the pipette. The pipette is improved in that the mounting means for mounting a disposable tip comprises, not one surface, but a plurality of differently-sized surfaces. Furthermore, the vent passageway for all but the smallest piston chamber exits at a location in between the mounting surface for the tip of that particular piston chamber and the next smaller mounting surface, whereby the larger disposable tips seal over the vent passageways of the smaller disposable tips.

An electromagnetic interference immune defibrillator lead has a first electromagnetic insulating layer. A first layer is formed on the first electromagnetic insulating layer, the first layer having a plurality of first conductive rings composed of first conductive material, each first conductive ring being separated by first insulating material. A second electromagnetic insulating layer is formed on the first layer. A second layer is, formed on the second electromagnetic insulating layer, the second layer having a plurality of second conductive rings composed of second conductive material, each second conductive ring being separated by second insulating material. A third electromagnetic insulating layer is formed on the second layer. The second conductive rings of second conductive material are positioned such that a second conductive ring overlaps a portion of a first conductive ring and overlaps a portion of a second conductive ring, the second conductive ring being adjacent to the first conductive ring. The second electromagnetically insulating layer is composed of a self-healing dielectric material.

摘要:
A process for assisting the function of a heart disposed within a body, and comprising an outer wall, comprising the steps of measuring at least one parameter that is indicative of the function of the heart, applying a compressive force to a portion of the outer wall of the heart, and applying an expansive force to the portion of the outer wall of the heart. The process is preferably performed with an apparatus comprising a cup-shaped shell having an exterior wall, an interior wall, an apex, and an upper edge; a liner having an outer surface and an inner surface, an upper edge joined to said interior wall of the cup-shaped shell, and a lower edge joined of the interior wall of the cup-shaped shell, thereby forming a cavity between the outer surface thereof and the interior wall of the shell; and a drive fluid cyclically interposed within the cavity, the drive fluid applying a uniform force on a portion of the outer wall of the heart.
摘要:
An electromagnetic immune tissue invasive system includes a primary device housing. The primary device housing having a control circuit therein. A shielding is formed around the primary device housing to shield the primary device housing and any circuits therein from electromagnetic interference. A lead system transmits and receives signals between the primary device housing. The lead system is either a fiber optic system or an electrically shielded electrical lead system.
