Electrosurgical electrode having a non-conductive porous ceramic coating

ActiveUS7033354B2Minimizing and preventing thermal damageHigh frequencySurgical instruments for heatingCoatingsElectrosurgeryPorous ceramics
An electrosurgical electrode and electrosurgical generator system utilizing the same are disclosed capable of controlling or limiting the current per arc in real-time during an electrosurgical procedure. The conductive electrosurgical electrode is configured for being connected to an electrosurgical generator system and has a non-conductive, porous ceramic coating that “pinches” or splits the arc current generated by the electrosurgical generator system into the smaller diameter pores of the coating, effectively keeping the same current and voltage, but creating several smaller diameter arcs from one larger diameter arc. This has the effect of separating the arc current, effectively increasing the current frequency, resulting in a finer cut or other surgical effect. That is, the non-conductive, porous ceramic coating enables a low frequency current to achieve surgical results indicative of a high frequency current, while minimizing or preventing thermal damage to adjacent tissue.

Method, apparatus, and program for image processing

Blur information on an image is found appropriately. Blur analysis means calculates a degree of blur and a direction of blur by using pupil images of the image obtained by pupil detection means, and judges whether or not the image is a blurry image. For the image having been judged as a blurry image, a degree of shake and a width of blur are calculated from the pupil images, and the degree of blur, the width of blur, the direction of blur, and the degree of shake obtained from the pupil images are output as the blur information of the image to deblurring means. The deblurring means corrects the image based on the blur information, and obtains a corrected image.

Light Bulb

A light bulb, in particular one which has a light pipe in the form of a bar or tube, mounted to a light source. The light pipe has coloured lines extending along and within it. When illuminated by the light source, the light pipe acts as a means for dissipating light, providing the desirable effect of a traditional filament or incandescent bulb without the high temperatures and low energy efficiency associated with such a light source. Such a light bulb may also include a screw or bayonet fitting, allowing it to be retrofitted into existing lighting units, providing backwards compatibility with existing lighting installations.

Sunscreen products in which excessive whiteness due to titanium dioxide and zinc oxide is visually masked upon skin application

Sunscreen products that do not require the use of organic, ultraviolet-absorbing agents are provided. Effective protection of the skin from ultraviolet light is attained by increasing the amounts of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. To mask the excessive whiteness that would otherwise result from the oxides, the sunscreen products contain multilayer-type encapsulations containing pigments. Before use, the pigments are enveloped in capsules that muffle the pigments' color. When the sunscreen product is applied to the skin, the capsules break and the pigments are released to counter the excessive whiteness due to titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Sunscreen product precursors, from which these sunscreen products can be generated by stirring, are also provided. A sunscreen product package contains the sunscreen product precursor and a stirring ball. A method of ultraviolet protection is provided by shaking the sunscreen product package and applying the sunscreen product thus generated to the skin.
