Abstract: An implantable medical device is disclosed herein and can be in the form of an implantable medical lead or a leadless pulse generator. The implantable medical device includes a body, at least one electrode and a tube-cut helical fixation anchor. The body includes a distal end and a proximal end opposite the distal end. The at least one electrode is supported on the body. The tube-cut helical fixation anchor distally extends from the distal end. The tube-cut helical fixation anchor may be fixed or extendable/retractable relative to the distal end. The tube-cut helical fixation anchor may be a result of a manufacturing process comprising cutting the tube-cut helical fixation anchor from a thin-walled tubular body.

Abstract: To supplement a video display on a conventional television, a surround video stream may be projected onto wall and other surfaces adjacent the television. The surround video stream may derive from a wide angle lens camera positioned alongside the main camera. The surround video stream may be processed in a local processor to compensate for departures from planar geometry in the wall surfaces. Where no surround video stream is received, a video processor may synthesize a surround video stream from the main video signal. Moving objects represented in the main video signal may be synthesized in the surround video to provide the perception of movement across the viewer's full field of view.

Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting the nuclear reactor comprising a boom rotatably connected by a pivot point to the top of a reactor head, a mechanism for rotating the boom with respect to said pivot point, a camera affixed to said boom and being slidingly affixed thereto such that the camera may be slidably adjusted in a longitudinal direction with respect to said boom.

Abstract: A device for inspecting the support plates and tube sheet of a nuclear steam generator. The device comprises a boom for extending into an access port of a steam generator and into a lane separating two rows of members, the boom being uprightable within the lane; and a video camera attached to the boom for inspecting the tube members and support plates within the lane when the boom is uprighted. In a preferred embodiment the video camera comprises a charge coupled device affixed to a remotely controlled pan and tilt mechanism.

Abstract: A device suited for inspecting selected positions of a nuclear power plant. The invention comprises a boom for extending to a position in a nuclear power station to be inspected, and a video camera affixed to the boom for permitting the visual inspection of the position to be inspected. In preferred embodiments, the video camera is affixed to a pan and tilt mechanism which may be adjusted by a remote joystick or by a control box situated on the boom. The video camera includes an auto-focus feature.
