Publication number: 20090292215Abstract: A method for diagnosis includes acquiring a physiological signal from a patient (22) during a period of sleep, and segmenting the signal to define a time sequence of quasi-stationary segments, each of the segments having a respective frequency spectrum. Respective levels of membership of the segments in a plurality of frequency states are computed responsively to the respective frequency spectrum. Based on the respective levels of membership, a sleep quality indicator is determined and displayed, responsively to a statistical characteristic of the segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2005Publication date: November 26, 2009Applicant: WIDEMED LTDInventors: Koby Todros, Baruch Levy, Alex Novodvorets, Amir B.

Publication number: 20070072153Abstract: The present invention provides substances, devices, methods, and kits for photo-sterilization of a root canal, prior to and when performing endodontics, as well as periodically as post-endodontic prophylactic measures. The root-canal filling includes a light-transmitting element, operative as a diffuser, and methods are provided for communicating light to the diffuser, for disinfecting the walls of the root canals, by photo sterilization. The diffuser may be formed of silicone polymers, synthetic fused silica, quartz or the like, and may be surrounded by a light-transmitting sealer. The diffuser may be incorporated with an endodontic post, or a specially designed post, which may be transparent and (or) hollow. In a preferred embodiment, the diffuser is formed of a light transmitting conical shell of Cyclic Olefin Copolymers (COC), filled with a fluid such as air, distilled water, or silicone oil.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2004Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: Yossi Gross, Daniel Better, Baruch Levy, Dvir Keren

Publication number: 20030050638Abstract: There is disclosed to a surgical instrument and methods for its use, for cutting tissue that has a positioning tube having a longitudinal axis, a cutting blade, that is at least substantially continuous, typically a ring, and a shaft. The shaft includes a distal end, that typically extends into the cutting blade, and engages the cutting blade in a rotational engagement, so as to confine its position while allowing it to rotate, upon the shaft rotating. At least a portion of the shaft is housed within the positioning tube. A frame is configured for receiving the proximal end of the shaft such that the shaft can rotate while being held in the frame. This reception and retention of the shaft by the frame is such that movement of the frame along the longitudinal axis moves the shaft and the cutting blade along the longitudinal axis. The cutting blade typically includes a sharpened edge, typically at its proximal end.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2001Publication date: March 13, 2003Inventors: Daniel Yachia, Baruch Levy, Zohar Tyroler, Avishai Chalfon, Marvin Slepian

Patent number: 6491672Abstract: A process has been developed to reduce or relieve prostatic obstruction. The steps involved in the TUVOR Process include: 1. Transurethral Incision; 2. De-bulking and Intra-Prostatic Volume Reduction; 3. Intra-prostatic void exclusion and space filling with adhesive and/or therapeutic polymeric materials, alone or in combination with bioactive agents and/or mechanical means for closure; 4. Endourethral compression and prostatic mass remolding; 5. Endourethral Polymer Liner Layer. This liner formed from structurally supportive, yet eventually biodegradable, polymers further bolsters and supports the urethra and peri-urethral tissue during healing, eliminating the need for post-procedure catheter drainage. This step may be optional in specific clinical circumstances. The process is designed to allow outpatient treatment under local anesthesia for BPH.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2001Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Harmonia Medical Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marvin J. Slepian, Daniel Yachia, Syed Hossainy, Baruch Levy, Zeev Sohn
