A balloon catheter including a connecting member, a catheter shaft, a balloon and a heat-generating member. The heat-generating member is in contact with a fluid in a distal portion of the catheter shaft. A method for treating a patient including introducing a low temperature fluid which flows through the balloon, introducing energy into a catheter shaft, and converting the energy into heat by a heat-generating member to heat the fluid, whereby an organ of the patient is heated and cooled. In the method, a portion of a diseased tissue of the organ is (i) heated from 35 to 40° C. to 60 to 80° C. within 30 seconds, (ii) expanded by applying a pressure of 500 kPa or smaller to the balloon, and (iii) cooled to 45° C. or lower within 40 seconds.

A balloon catheter comprises a connecting member, a catheter shaft, a balloon and a heat-generating member contacting a fluid in the balloon or in a distal portion of the catheter shaft. A medical apparatus have the balloon catheter. In a method for treating a living organ, a low temperature fluid is introduced and flows through the balloon, energy is introduced into the catheter shaft, is converted into heat by the heat-generating member and heats the fluid, and a living organ is heated and cooled for a medical treatment. A portion of disease is heated from 35˜40° C. to 60˜80° C. within 30 seconds, expanded by applying a pressure of 500 kPa or smaller to the balloon, and cooled to 45° C. or lower within 40 seconds. A living organ can be heated and cooled within a very short time to cure a diseased tissue. A blood vessel can be expanded without damages.

When the total number of transmission request time slots from a base station and a subscriber station exceeds the the radio line, the ratio of the number of communication time slots against the total number of transmission request times slots from the base station and the subscriber station is calculated and the number of time slots allocated for each subscriber station is determined by a product of a total number and ratio of the transmission request time slots from the subscriber station.
摘要:
In a radio communication system in which multiple access is carried out between a base station and a plurality of subscriber stations by a TDMA communication method, occurrence of the interference in the R channels through which the subscriber stations (21 to 24) issue a call request to the base station (1) can be detected precisely, and time slot arrangement of the R channels is changed by detecting the interference to thus avoid the interference.

The invention provides a double-faced image formation system that prevents transfer and adhesion of a lubricant to an image retaining conveyer and an intermediate transfer part. The system is provided with, on a return path for reversing and conveying a sheet having toner images fixed on one side thereof, a front face electrifying unit and a rear face electrifying unit. Oil adhered on the rear face of the sheet in a fixation unit by the rear face electrifying unit is electrified to a negative polarity, and the oil adhered on the rear face is made impossible to transfer to an intermediate transfer belt. The oil adhered on the front face of the sheet in the fixation unit by the front face electrifying unit is electrified to a positive polarity, and the oil adhered on the front face is made impossible to transfer to a secondary transfer conveyance belt.
摘要:
A TDMA radio communication method including the steps of: providing a latter part of each of super frames with an assignment information notification period which is preceded by an assignment processing period, and providing a remaining part of the each of the super frame with an assignment request collecting period; transmitting, from a terminal station to a base station, assignment request information using a plurality of frames included in the assignment request collecting period; transmitting, from the base station to the terminal station, frame structure information and assignment information over a plurality of frames included in the assignment information notification period; and carrying out, in the base station, channel assignment of a radio channel, changes of the frame structure and of the channel assignment in response to timings of the super frames. This makes it possible to solve a problem involved in a conventional TDMA radio communication system in that it is difficult for the base station to achieve reassignment of channels to a plurality of terminal stations at the same time with considering the entire terminal stations connected to the base station because the conventional system carries out channel assignment, changes of the assignment and reassignment individually to the terminal stations.
摘要:
A first sector cell is set as an object for measurement (S101). Reception levels in each time slot in the number of TDMA-TDD frames is measured for the object cell (S102) and for all the cells (S103 and S105). The results of the measurement of a specific sector cell are added to the results of the measurement of a sector cell opposite the specific sector cell, and time slots in which control channels can be placed are extracted for each sector cell (S106 to S108). TDMA-TDD frames are then allocated such that the control channels of each sector cell coincide with time slots in which control channels can be placed (S109). In this way, control channels are placed in time slots such that a base station having a sector cell structure avoids interference from the same frequency.
摘要:
An apparatus and techniques for reducing the electrostatic sticking of a transfer member to the image carrying body of an image forming apparatus. The visible image on the image carrying body is formed by charged participles. A collective transfer unit collectively transfers the visible image from the image carrying body to a transfer member. A transfer member judging unit judges whether a transfer member exists downstream of and in the vicinity of a transfer position of the collective transfer unit. A pre-stop processing unit for preventing, if the transfer member presence judging unit judges that a transfer monitor exists when the stopping unit stops the device, the transfer member from electrostatically sticking to the image carrying body.
