20140300049 | SHEET RETENTION DEVICE - A sheet retention device is provided for retaining at least one sheet. The sheet retention device comprises a sheet supporting means for supporting at least a first portion of the sheet, a rotatable guiding means configured to enclose a second portion of the sheet, an urging means and a drive means for in operation controllably rotating the rotatable guiding means. The rotatable guiding means comprises a passageway arranged through the rotatable guiding means, which passageway is configured to enclose the second portion of the sheet, the passageway having an entrance portion at one side of an outer surface of the rotatable guiding means and an exit portion at another side of an outer surface of the rotatable guiding means. Said exit portion is arranged in the passageway at an opposite end with respect to the entrance portion. The rotatable guiding means comprises a sheet deflecting surface, wherein in operation during at least part of a revolution of the rotatable guiding means a portion of the sheet is guided by the sheet deflecting surface into a sheet retaining position. The sheet retaining position is defined by the outer surface of the rotatable guiding means and the urging means. The urging means are urged against a portion of the outer surface of the rotatable guiding means in said sheet retaining position. | 10-09-2014 |

20110275962 | ACOUSTICAL SWITCH AND CATHETER COMPRISING ACOUSTICAL SWITCH - The invention relates to an acoustical switch wherein the idea to the ultrasound propagation direction may be changes without moving the switch. The switch device comprises two sheets of acoustically transparent material. The sheets constitute opposite walls of a housing. The switch device further comprises one or more orifices for allowing conduction of fluid into and/or out of said housing. The switch device may be made reflective by filling the housing with a gas via the one or more orifices. Moreover, the switch device may be made transmissive to ultrasound by filling the housing with a liquid via the one or more orifices and/or by subjecting the housing to underpressure via the one or more orifices. The acoustical switch device fits well within a catheter, which has severe dimensional limitations. | 11-10-2011 |

20100277809 | FLUID LENS WITH PRESSURE RELEASE SYSTEM - Fluid lens system, e.g. for medical imaging or medical treatment, with a container enclosing a fluid arranged to refract incoming waves. A pressure release mechanism is in contact with the fluid so as to compensate changes in its volume due to thermal variations, e.g. during high temperature medical cleaning. This pressure release mechanism is positioned within a pathway of incoming waves. In preferred embodiments a fluid container connected via a tube to the fluid as a reservoir, is arranged within or outside the container, e.g. beyond an image sensor. Alternatively, an easily compressible body, e.g. a small closed metal bellows enclosing a gas, is positioned inside the fluid to absorb volume changes by compression. In both embodiments, the pressure release elements are preferably positioned in a peripheral part of the pathway of incoming waves to not affect performance of the lens. In another aspect, a fluid lens includes a container with an inner container part that fits inside an outer container part, wherein the inner container part is in rigid connection to at least a one boundary arranged for penetration of incoming waves. The pressure release mechanism is positioned within the outer container part, and it is in contact with the fluid so as to compensate changes in volume of the fluid due to thermal variations. In one embodiment the inner and outer container parts are arranged for relative one-dimensional movement and fluid tight interconnected. In another embodiment, a fluid filled cavity is formed between the inner and outer container parts, and this cavity houses a compressible body. The lens systems are suited for applications such as medical endoscopes, catheters and needles, optically as well as acoustically based. | 11-04-2010 |

20140121549 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE MYOCARDIAL INOTROPIC STATE - A method for determining myocardial inotropic state is described. The method involves receiving a value of stretch for different myocardial segments during passive filling, e.g. atrial contraction, and receiving associated values representative of total systolic strain. The method also involves using a relationship between the stretch of different myocardial segments during atrial contraction and the associated values representative for total systolic strain as an index of the myocardial inotropic state. A corresponding system and computer program product also is described. | 05-01-2014 |
