20100038689INTEGRATING FABRICATION OF PHOTODETECTOR WITH FABRICATION OF CMOS DEVICE ON A SILICON-ON-INSULATOR SUBSTRATE - A method and semiconductor device for integrating the fabrication of a photodetector with the fabrication of a CMOS device on a SOI substrate. The SOI substrate is divided into two regions, a CMOS region and an optical detecting region. After the CMOS device is fabricated in the CMOS region, the optical detecting region is patterned and etched through the top silicon layer and the buried oxide layer to the base silicon layer. The pattern is etched to a depth so that after a material of a photodetector is deposited in the etched pattern, the material grows to the surface level of the SOI substrate. After the formation of a photodetector structure in the optical detecting region, the metallization process is performed on the CMOS device and the photodetector. In this manner, the fabrication of a photodetector is integrated with the fabrication of a CMOS device on the SOI substrate.02-18-2010

20090129556PATIENT POSITIONING SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY AND RADIOTHERAPY - The system provides new ways to ensure that a patient is positioned correctly, e.g. identically with an original planning scan if the patient is to undergo radiotherapy. The system also detects if there is patient movement during a scan. It is an aspect of the present method to immobilize the patient based on a specific site of interest by using positioning sensors that record patient physical orientation based on measurements of patient weight distribution and pressure distribution among other features.05-21-2009

20090131831Variable Stiffness Guidewire Systems - A variable stiffness guidewire comprises a outer body including a plurality of coil windings that are oriented in a first direction. The outer body has a proximal end and a distal end and a hollow interior therebetween. A tension element is positioned within the hollow interior and has first and second opposed ends, wherein the second end is coupled to the distal end of the outer body. The tension element includes a plurality coil windings that are oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The tension element is configured to be pulled in a direction away from the distal end of the outer body to increase a stiffness in at least a portion of the guidewire.05-21-2009
20090131911Variable Stiffness Guidewire Systems - A variable-stiffness guidewire system which comprises an elongated flexible guidewire. The guidewire has a body and a guidewire head coupled to the body. The guidewire head is slidably moveable with respect to a guidewire collar of the body to adjust a stiffness of the guidewire. A tool is utilized with the guidewire to engage the guidewire head and move the guidewire head a desired distance from the guidewire collar to achieve a desired stiffness. The tool has a first mechanism that is configured to selectively deploy an insert to be positioned between the guidewire head and the guidewire collar. The insert maintains the desired stiffness of the guidewire.05-21-2009
20090131912Variable Stiffness Guidewire Systems - A variable-stiffness guidewire system comprises an elongated flexible guidewire having a body and a guidewire head that is coupled to the body. The guidewire head is slidably moveable with respect to a guidewire collar of the body to adjust a stiffness of at least a portion of the guidewire. An insert is coupled to the guidewire and positioned between the guidewire head and the guidewire collar. The insert has a cross-sectional dimension no larger than a diameter of the body. The insert is configured to maintain a distance of the guidewire head from the guidewire collar to maintain a desired stiffness in the at least a portion of the guidewire.05-21-2009

20100249656Variable Stiffness Guidewire Systems - A variable-stiffness guidewire system which comprises an elongated flexible guidewire. The guidewire has a body and a tensioning head coupled to the body. The tensioning head is slidably moveable with respect to a guidewire collar coupled to the body via a tensioning wire to adjust a stiffness of the guidewire. The guidewire includes one or more protrusions within a conduit of the guidewire collar which applies a frictional force to the tensioning wire to maintain the tensioning head a desired distance from the collar, thereby maintaining the desired stiffness in the guidewire. A tool can be utilized with the guidewire to engage the guidewire head and move the guidewire head a desired distance from the guidewire collar to achieve a desired stiffness.09-30-2010
