The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method is currently a popular method of performing electromagnetic computation. The FDTD algorithm's relative simplicity and versatility make it a useful tool for simulation, but the benefits are partially offset by the memory and computational power demands. These demands limit the algorithm's practical usability, and are usually implemented on high performance workstations.
ADD ON CAMERA FOR TRANESOPHEGEAL ECHOCARDIOLOGY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a medical device for minimally invasive procedures and particularly to an image sensor to be used in such a procedure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An aspect of some embodiments of the present invention relates to a compact distal tip for mounting on a TEE probe.
Idea:
The idea is to have an endoscope with protected working channel, which is intended to prevent inadvertent damages from Holmium laser fibers to the distal end of flexible Videoscope or Fiberscope during surgery.
Background
Today most all traditional structural floor, wall, and roof assembly materials are present in various forms that have been used individually or in combination with each other being categorized into the following basic categories:
1. Concrete
2. Masonry
3. Steel
Global warming and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, tornadoes, and hurricanes etc. play havoc with food production and thermal stress in plants seriously affects crop yields.
GroDomes....a logical extension of Monolithic Dome Technology....
About the Design:
The base design concept incorporates a collapsible or folding structure that when collapsed or folded carries a very small footprint for storage and transport and when unfolded provides ample room for four adults secure short term accommodations. The collapsible shelter system is simple, lightweight and portable.
The Vector Car involves a new body shape using a centrifugal power train providing maximum fuel economy. Length: 17' Wheel base:139"
It is powered by a four cylinder engine combined with an electrical motor configured as a pulsating generator providing kinetic energy to the circumference of the vertically mounted flywheels.
Passive luminescent solar concentrators (LSC) are possible that have high efficacy, long life and low cost. Luminescent solar concentrators consist of a fluorescent dye in a transparent matrix that captures and concentrates light. The most efficiency design is a flat sheet end coupled with what can use the concentrated light.
I think it was Bob Dylan who once said " If you want to be truly subversive, you can't tell anyone." It is that premise that inspired this method to transform the suburban American landscape. For many years, the look of the suburban landscape has been dominated by large turf grass lawns leading up to a home.
In this Space Age, satellites have become an important resource for every country. The designing, building, and launching of satellites have become a challenging process that involves high costs.
