The invention relates to a tracking method aiming at single axis solar energy and provides a solar energy tracking method with umbra versa tracking. The solar energy tracking method with the umbra versa tracking accurately calculates positions of the Sun based on modern astronomical algorithms, calculates shadow length of solar panel assemblies and adjusts angles of the solar panel assemblies according to the width of the assemblies and distance between the front and back rows of the solar panel assemblies. Therefore, at any time no shadow can be generated along the east-and-west directions of the front and back rows of the solar panel assemblies, the effects that the sun light is perpendicular to the solar panel assemblies and the light intensity is maximized are achieved, and the photovoltaic conversion rate is increased. The solar energy tracking method with the umbra versa tracking is small in energy consumption, applicable to various latitudes, free from the restraint of the geographical location, capable of being directed at the Sun to the maximum extent and receiving direct solar radiation and capable of effectively avoiding that the east and west assemblies are shaded by the shadow. The technical problems existing in the prior art that the solar panel assemblies shade each other and form the shadows, the sun light receiving is affected, and thereby the photovoltaic conversion rate is affected are solved.

To control cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation post-operatively, various non-ablative agents include polymers, fibroblasts, neurotoxins, and growth factors are introduced into one or more cardiac fat pads into the atrioventricular nodal fat pad in proximity to the autonomic ganglia therein. Any desired technique may be used for introducing the agent, including injection. The sinoatrial nodal fat pad target site and the atrioventricular nodal fat pad target site are identified using a stimulator, which may have electrodes coupled thereto or which may coupled to electrodes built into a delivery system.

The present invention relates to an optical fiber magnetic scanning arrangement for a miniature optical fiber probe and can be applied for optical beam delivery in various optical imaging techniques. The arrangement is of the type where an optical fiber is rigidly fixed to a current conductor and serving as a flexible cantilever with a capability for the distal part of the optical fiber of being deflected in a direction substantially orthogonal to its own axis. New designs of the magnetic system are less critical to the shape and dimensional tolerances of scanner elements and assembly. These designs provide a potential for a less difficult assembly process and for further miniaturization. According to one aspect of the invention the permanent magnet system includes at least a first permanent magnet with a magnetization direction that is substantially aligned with the own axis of the optical fiber. The current conductor loop is placed adjacent to the one of the end faces of the first permanent magnet. According to another aspect of the invention the permanent magnet system includes at least a first permanent magnet piece with a magnetization direction that is substantially orthogonal to the own axis of the optical fiber. The permanent magnet piece extends in a direction substantially aligned with the own axis of the optical fiber and has an inner surface, the current conductor loop being adjacent to at least a part of the inner surface of the first permanent magnet piece. According to another aspect of the invention the permanent magnet system includes a permanent magnet of a hollow cylinder type with a substantially radial magnetization direction. The permanent magnet cylinder extends in a direction substantially aligned with the own axis of the optical fiber. The current conductor loop is placed inside the permanent magnet cylinder. A miniature optical fiber probe, which incorporates the optical fiber lateral scanner of the invention, will inherit all its benefits.
