20130069204 | Method and Apparatus to Control Surface Texture Modification of Silicon Wafers for Photovoltaic Cell Devices - A method and apparatus to modify the surface structure of a silicon substrate or deposited silicon layer in a controllable manner using gas only in an atmospheric environment, suitable for making photovoltaic (PV) wafer based devices. The method and apparatus comprising the steps of disposing the substrate or deposited layer on a moveable carrier; pre-heating the substrate or deposited layer; and moving the substrate or deposited layer for etching through an atmospheric reactor; under an etchant delivering module inside the reactor and applying at least one etchant in gas form at a controlled flow rate and angle to the substrate or deposited layer in the reactor, wherein the at least one etchant gas is selected from the group comprising fluoride-containing gases and chlorine-based compounds. The technical problem that has been solved is the provision of a high throughput dry etching method at atmospheric pressure. This apparatus does not require plasma to aid the etching process using fluoride-containing gases and chlorine-based compounds and is performed at open atmospheric pressure. The use of elemental fluorine, which has a significantly lower bonding energy than any of the other etchants used to date, allows for the use of much lower power energy source to crack the elemental fluorine in to its etching radicals. The apparatus enables the delivery of a predetermined texture finish by controlling the flow rate of the gasses which are bombarded on the surface of the substrate. | 03-21-2013 |

20110106099 | LEAD EXTRACTION DEVICE - The disclosure pertains to a lead extraction device which utilizes a chamfered coring tip to separate an implanted object, such as a pacemaker lead, from fibrous tissue and thereby permit the implanted object to be extracted from a body. The lead extraction device features an elongate body having a lead gripping mechanism. The gripping mechanism grips a lead to prevent kinking or simultaneous rotation of the lead with the lead extraction device that may cause tissue damage. The inner lumen of lead extraction device is preferably dimensioned so that a lead will fit within. The lead extraction device is thereby tracked over the lead. The chamfered coring tip on the distal end of the lead separates the lead from fibrous tissue. Through the disclosed lead extraction devices of the present disclosure, the lead may be separated along its length, as well as separated at its distal end from fibrous tissue, thereby permitting the lead to be readily extracted from the body. | 05-05-2011 |

20110098561 | DEFLECTABLE SUBSELECTING CATHETER - A medical device including, e.g., an implantable medical lead or drug pump catheter, a guide member, or a sheath is delivered to a target location within a patient via a catheter capable of subselecting vessels or other cavities, passages, or the like within the patient's body. The catheter employs an inflatable member that, when actuated, acts to deflect a medical device to direct the device into a vessel or other cavity, passage, or the like branching off of, e.g., a vessel in which the catheter is arranged. In some examples, the inflatable member acts to deflect the delivery catheter, which in turn necessarily deflects the implantable medical device arranged therein. In other examples, the inflatable member acts to deflect the medical device to turn the device into a vessel or other cavity, passage, or the like branching off of the vessel in which the catheter is arranged. | 04-28-2011 |
