Publication number: 20220280337Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for temperature modification of a patient, or selected regions thereof, including an induced state of hypothermia. The temperature modification is accomplished using an in-dwelling heat exchange catheter within which a fluid heat exchange medium circulates. A heat exchange cassette is attached to the circulatory conduits of the catheter, the heat exchange cassette being sized to engage a cavity within a control unit. The control unit includes a heater/cooler device for providing heated or cooled fluid to a heat exchanger in thermal communication with the fluid heat exchange medium circulating to the heat exchange catheter, a user input device, and a processor connected to receive input from various sensors around the body and the system. A temperature control scheme for ramping the body temperature up or down without overshoot is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: David J. Scott, Ben F. Brian, Lloyd F. Wright, Leo A. Chin, Edward W. Hollmen, Daniel W. Seegars, Mark A. Logan

Patent number: 10571430Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition system includes a gas concentration sensor for determining the quantity of precursor gases admitted thereto. The gas concentration sensor can include a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting an acoustic signal across a chamber. In embodiments, the transmitter and receiver are designed to increase transmitted signal while reducing transmitted noise, facilitating use of the gas concentration sensor at low pressure and high temperature.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Veeco Instruments Inc.Inventors: Chi-Jung Cheng, Leo Chin, Christopher J. Morath, Arindam Sinharoy, Raymond C. Logue
