  • Publication number: 20240157130
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to implantable systems for cancer treatment and related methods. In an embodiment, an implantable system for cancer treatment can be included having a therapy output circuit configured to generate an electrical output for one or more electrodes to create one or more electric fields. The implantable system can include control circuitry that causes the therapy output circuit to generate the one or more electric fields at frequencies between 10 kHz and 1 MHz within a bodily tissue. The one or more electric fields can be effective to prevent and./or disrupt cellular mitosis in a cell. The implantable system can further include a therapy zone temperature sensor. The implantable system can be configured to measure the temperature and/or record the temperature data of a patient over time. The temperature data can include tissue temperature and time stamps of the same. Other embodiments are also included herein.

  • Patent number: 4583309
    Abstract: A display assembly for posters or signs includes a cover frame having a clear sealed window at the front surface thereof. The display assembly is generally rectangular, the cover frame having four outwardly facing walls configured to slide into forwardly extending closely fitting walls extending from a one piece wall-mountable shroud-forming frame. Magnetic strips affixed to interior faces of the shroud-forming frame capture and hold an inserted cover frame, and the closely fitting shroud walls and immediately confronting cover frame walls serve to defeat the insertion of conventional tools to remove the cover when so emplaced. A special spatulate tool is configured with projections stressed to spring out of the plane of the blade in the relaxed state. The extensions are temporarily pressed flat during insertion, to spring outward when inserted to maximum depth into the assembly, the extensions when thus deployed confronting and engaging a rear portion of the cover frame.
