International Classification:

G08B 5/00

US Classification:

3406911, 398182, 34081542

Abstract:

International Classification:

G05G 1700
A62C 3704

US Classification:

337401

Abstract:

A highly reliable release apparatus which is used to stow or release desired devices such as, for example, solar arrays, antenna positioning mechanisms, reflectors, found on satellites, space stations or spacecraft. Deployment of the desired device is prevented or allowed by respectively restraining or releasing a first member under tension. The apparatus comprises a support member having an opening and a first face arranged about the opening. A second member is located within the opening when the first member is in tension and is adapted to be attached to an end of the first member. At least three locking members such as fuse wires are arranged on the first face of said support member for restraining the second member within the opening in order to maintain tension on the first member. The second member is attached to the first member in a manner such that at least two of the fuse wires must be severed before the restraint on the second member is released. A system is provided for actuating the release apparatus by selectively severing at least two of the locking members when deployment of the device is desired.

International Classification:

A61B 18/12

Abstract:

Systems and methods for applying energy to treat body areas having fat deposits are disclosed in which treatment energy is applied to a patient with a plurality of energy applicators each in contact with a target body subarea of the patient's skin, thereby heating the skin and underlying tissue, including fat. The temperature of fat tissue of each target body subarea may be sensed, and the application of energy to the corresponding energy applicator may be terminated if the temperature exceeds a maximum temperature for the subarea, which may be individually defined by a system user.

International Classification:

A61B 18/14

Abstract:

Systems and methods for applying energy to treat body areas having fat deposits, cellulite, or loose skin are disclosed. The treatment energy is applied to a patient with multiple applicators in contact with the patient's skin, which heats the skin and underlying tissue, such as fat. As the temperature of the fat is raised and maintained for a period of time, the heat damages the fat cells. When multiple applicators apply energy to multiple treatment subareas within a general area of a patient's body at interleaving intervals, treatment efficiency is improved. In particular, compared to applying energy continuously to treat each subarea one at a time, applying energy in interleaving intervals sequentially to the various subareas reduces the total treatment time by having multiple subareas treated simultaneously while maintaining the temperature of the target tissue (e.g. fat) within the therapeutic temperature range.

Abstract:

An example demultiplexer may include at least one dispersive element that is common to multiple wavelength channels. The demultiplexer may additionally include multiple field lenses positioned optically downstream from the at least one dispersive element, where a number of the field lenses is equal to a number of the wavelength channels. An example multiplexer may include a single piece power monitor assembly that includes a collimator lens array, a focusing lens array, and a slot integrally formed therein. The collimator lens array may be positioned to receive multiple wavelength channels from a laser array. The focusing lens array may be positioned to focus multiple portions of the wavelength channels onto an array of photodetectors. The slot may be configured to tap the portions from the wavelength channels collimated into the single piece power monitor assembly by the collimator lens array and to direct the portions toward the focusing lens array.
