| 20110092759 | MOBILE SYSTEM FOR ELECTRON BEAM INTRAOPERATIVE RADIATION THERAPY - A mobile system for electron beam intraoperative radiation therapy uses a race-track microtron placed in a housing playing the role of the vacuum chamber, which is supported by a positioner providing its motion with six degrees of freedom with respect to a patient. The positioner is a part of a mobile mechanical structure which houses an ion pump, a microwave source, waveguide elements, a modulator with a pulse transformer and a cooler. The intraoperative radiation therapy system has a tube-like unit which couples the vacuum chamber with the mobile supporting mechanical structure and provides three functions, namely pumping out of the air from the vacuum chamber, feeding of the race-track microtron accelerating structure with radiofrequency power and rotation of the vacuum chamber with respect to the horizontal axis of the unit. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20090317083 | OPTICAL REMOTE NODE DEVICE AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT FOR CONSTRUCTING AND EXTENDING FIBER-OPTIC ACCESS NETWORKS - Optical remote node (NR) device which is situated at a remote point in a fibre-optic metropolitan or access network, carries out the functions of connecting, and transmitting information between, various sections of the network in a passive manner without a power supply using various optical components which extract the necessary optical signals and optical pumping power from the network to which the remote node is connected, and introduces the optical signals from the sections which it connects into said network, and support equipment which is situated at a point in the network with a power supply, uses the network to provide the pumping power required by the remote nodes and has the electronics needed to carry out functions of monitoring the operation of the remote nodes and regulating their activity. | 12-24-2009 |
