Abstract: An apparatus and method uses a first Faraday cage portion and a second Faraday cage portion to provide a Faraday cage enclosure surrounding at least one circuit device. For example, the first Faraday cage portion may include a first conductive portion of a Faraday cage enclosure surrounding the at least one circuit device, and a second Faraday cage portion may include a second conductive portion of the Faraday cage enclosure surrounding the at least one circuit device. Further, for example, the first Faraday cage portion may include a connection surface having one or more conductive contact portions terminating the first conductive portion of the Faraday cage enclosure the second Faraday cage portion may include a connection surface having one or more conductive contact portions terminating the second conductive portion of the Faraday cage enclosure. An electrical connection may be provided between the conductive contact portions of the first and second Faraday cage portions.

Abstract: A system for detecting the integrity of a previously implanted prosthetic device may include a detector including a sensor configured to detect signals from the implant and securing means for securing the sensor in a sensing position relative to the implantable device. The system also may include a power source configured to provide power to the sensor and a computation means for processing data communicated by the detector and for displaying the processed data for diagnosing.

Abstract: A fluid heating system, which includes a set of lamps emitting infrared or longer wavelength radiation. The fluid to be heated flows through chemically inert tubing while absorbing radiation from the lamps. The lamps are separated from the tubing, so that there is no significant risk that contaminants will enter the tubing during operation. In one class of preferred embodiments particularly well suited for heating ultrapure water, the inert tubing is a quartz coil. Lamps are mounted inside the coil generally parallel to the coil axis. Reflective material is wrapped around the outer surface of the coil to reflect radiation that has passed through the coil back toward the coil axis. The quartz comprising the coil is selected to transmit the lamp radiation efficiently to the fluid within the coil. In one embodiment, the lamps are mounted between a pair of end plate assemblies.
