  • ELECTROMAGNETIC RESONANT CIRCUIT SLEEVE FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20070100231
    Abstract: A medical device enables effective magnetic resonance imaging inside a lumen of a medical device. The medical device includes a plurality of conductive traces formed on a substrate. The conductive traces form an inductive-capacitance circuit or a resistive-inductive-capacitance circuit. The inductive-capacitance circuit or resistive-inductive-capacitance circuit is tuned to a frequency associated with magnetic resonance imaging, an operating frequency associated with a magnetic resonance imaging scanner, a harmonic of an operating frequency associated with a magnetic resonance imaging scanner, or a sub-harmonic of an operating frequency associated with a magnetic resonance imaging scanner.

  • Magnetically shielded assembly
    Patent number: 7162302
    Abstract: A shielded medical device implanted in a biological organism. The device has a magnetic shield, and the magnetic shield contains a layer of nanomagnetic material; such layer has a morphological density of at least 98 percent; and it is bonded to the medical device by means of an interlayer with a thickness of less than about 10 microns. The nanomagnetic material in such layer has a saturation magnetization of from about 1 to about 36,000 Gauss, a coercive force of from about 0.01 to about 5,000 Oersteds, a relative magnetic permeability of from about 1 to about 500,000, and an average particle size of less than about 100 nanometers.

  • Celery pack
    Publication number: 20060251770
    Abstract: A sanitized, ready-to-use and ready-to-eat celery pack is disclosed wherein the package consists of limbs that are from 6- to 14-inches in length and weigh from 0.25 to 1.6 pounds. The limbs are prepared by removing the butt end and the leaves, sorting the limbs according to length, sanitizing the limbs and packaging the limbs according to length. The limbs may or may not have joints depending on their length.

  • Computer pointing input device
    Publication number: 20060197742
    Abstract: The computer pointing input device allows a user to determine the position of a cursor on a computer display. The position of the input device in relation to the display controls the position of the cursor, so that when a user points directly at the display, the cursor appears at the intersection of the display and the line of sight from of the input device. When the device is moved, the cursor appears to move on the display in exact relation to the input device. In addition, a cursor command unit allows the user to virtually operate the input device wherein changes in the position of the device allow the user to spatially invoke mouse functions. The computer pointing input device is designed to operate with a computer having a processor through a computer communication device.
