Patching bare spots with Bermuda sod
I have several bare spots in my Bermuda yard that I want to patch with Bermuda sod. If I lay the sod on top of the bare spot then it won't be level with the surrounding turf. Is there a way to patch bare spots with sod and have it be level.
It would be helpful for you to know what is the thickness of the bermuda sod that you want to install. If you know where you are going to purchase the sod from, call them and ask them what is the depth that their sod is cut. It is probably going to be somewhere in the range of one-half inch to one inch. Dig out your area to the same depth as the sod is cut. Use a ruler or tape measure to measure the depth of the area that you dig out. Then the sod you install should fit nicely. If anything, it would be better to have the sod a little lower than the existing area rather than a little higher than the existing area. This will prevent scalping of the new sod. Of course, perfectly level is best. :)

For many of us, enjoying a relaxing day out on a motorboat, tinny, or jet ski is the ideal perfect day. When we think of going out on the open waters, whether for fishing, scuba diving excursions, or sightseeing, we don't usually equate the activity with tragedy. Though the possibility of getting into an accident is very real, the notion that we'll be the ones suffering a boating accident is not a very prominent one.
While recreational boating should be an enjoyable pastime first and foremost, it's important to remember that accidents can – and often do – happen. Most boating accidents happen in the blink of an eye and can involve both experienced and novice sailors alike. Even the most prepared of boaters can become caught in a sudden storm or rogue wave, or can be the victim of another individual's negligent actions, such as boating while under the influence of alcohol or speeding.
Because there is no guarantee that a collision or capsizing tragedy will not occur, each boating accident lawyer at our firm can attest to the fact that it is always better to live by the motto, "better safe than sorry."

The seven Tour de France titles stripped from Lance Armstrong will not be awarded to any riders, and the disgraced American and his teammates should return their prize money, cycling's governing body ruled on Friday.Acknowledging "a cloud of suspicion would remain hanging over this dark period," the UCI said the list of Tour winners will remain blank for the years from 1999 to 2005."This might appear harsh for those who rode clean (but) they would understand there was little honour to be gained in reallocating places,'' the UCI said after a board meeting in Geneva.The UCI said Armstrong and "all other affected riders" in the case should return their prize money. That amounts to almost $4 million in Tour money from Armstrong.Armstrong attorney Sean Breen declined to comment on the prize money demand.
"This might appear harsh for those who rode clean (but) they would understand there was little honour to be gained in reallocating places"
UCI statement
The cycling body also ordered an independent outside investigation to examine allegations about the UCI's own conduct and relations with Armstrong raised by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that detailed systematic cheating by the Texan and his teammates.UCI has been accused of accepting $125,000 from Armstrong to cover up suspicious doping tests.Riders and officials involved in doping programs will also be targeted by the inquiry commission."Part of the independent commission's remit would be to find ways to ensure that persons caught for doping were no longer able to take part in the sport, including as part of an entourage," the UCI said in a statement.A potentially explosive defamation suit filed by the UCI, its president Pat McQuaid and predecessor Hein Verbruggen against Irish journalist and former Tour rider Paul Kimmage has been put on hold, the board said.Kimmage was scheduled to defend his claims that cycling's leaders protected Armstrong at a December 12 hearing in Vevey, Switzerland. Kimmage has received more than $70,000 in donations from cycling fans to fight his case.Armstrong's expulsion from the sport he dominated was confirmed on Monday when the UCI acknowledged the USADA findings that his teams ran "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport hasever seen."Friday's meeting of the UCI board was a necessary legal step to confirm a seven-year hole in the Tour de France roll of honour.

This is the AICP Code of Ethics. Of course, you don't need to be certified or even like the APA to recognize that this provides a good guideline for ethical concerns.
Check it out at: http://www.planning.org/ethics/conduct.html
The purpose of life is a life of purpose
Of course it may not be 100% relevant to our american cousins but the first page of RTPI's code of conduct is interesting (erm, 'interesting' given all things being relative).
http://www.rtpi.org.uk/download/155/codecond.pdfThe Chartered Object of the Royal Town Planning Institute is to advance the science and art of
town planning for the benefit of the public. It is the purpose of this Code to ensure that in all
their professional activities members of the Royal Town Planning Institute:
I have been in the exact same position with the PC recommendations with which I may not totally agree and it became a big issue with a developer recently that took exception to my "usurping" (his words) the Planning Commission's recommendation. Actually, what happened was that the Planning Commission modified several of my recommendations, which I then explained to the City Council. My opinion is that the Planning Commission's recommendation does not necessarily become my (Planning Director's) recommendation. Oddly enough, I think all of the Planning Commission agrees with me. But what I do is make it clear to the City Council what the Planning Commission recommendations are and what my recommendations are, if there are differences. My responsibility is to ensure the protection of the general health, safety and welfare of the general public. Just last night we had a major traffic safety issue with a new development, which the Planning Commission chose to ignore by not requiring modifications to a highway intersection. But I still made the same argument to the City Council, who also chose to ignore it.
Remember, in the public sector, a planner is paid to enforce the zoning code and the comprehensive plan of the city in which they are employed. This does NOT include expressing personal opinion.
You get all squeezed up inside/Like the days were carved in stone/You get all wired up inside/And it's bad to be alone
You can go out, you can take a ride/And when you get out on your own/You get all smoothed out inside/And it's good to be alone
This also speaks to having a thorough comp plan so that there are no vague area.
You get all squeezed up inside/Like the days were carved in stone/You get all wired up inside/And it's bad to be alone
You can go out, you can take a ride/And when you get out on your own/You get all smoothed out inside/And it's good to be alone
Your personal opinions should never come into play when reviewing a plan. Does it meet the ordinance in question? yes or no? Its not up for discussion, and frankly the developer doesnt give a rats a$$ what you recommend or think, if it isnt backed up by a section of the Zoning Ordinance.

I wish I could work someplace else then...
Forcing "professional planning opinion" here will not really be tolerated (unless you want to spend your entire day/week in a pissing match). However, we do bring about professional opinion in the way of negotiation with developers to find a common ground.
I think where Planners get put down is when they cite professional opinion and APA rhetoric as gospel and do not allow a meeting point between local government ideals and development desires. In order to sustain business (especially small business) in the community Planners must meet in the middle on some items.

I'd like to know how those of you in the public sector prepare your staff reports. We have a recommendation from the Planning Commission and staff, and sometimes they are at odds. If the Planning Commission hears a staff recommendation then decides to go the other direction, obviously staff didn't convince them. A lot of this depends on your Commission and their understanding of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Regulations and law in general. If there is a health, safety or potential violation of legal rights involved, staff should stand firm with their recommendation. If the issues are more touchy-feely, you need to know when to pick your battles.
It takes a certain level of arrogance to presume that staff should or thinks they could "trump" a Planning Commission decision and continue pushing for a staff recommendation.

We just had development plans for a grocery store approved. This grocery store is part of a larger development that is adjacent to two highway intersections; both are fully directional, but only one is signalized. Therefore, the unsignalized intersection is of more of a safety concern because the grocery store - and the entire development - will force more traffic into the both intersections and encourage left turns onto the highway at an intersection that is already unsafe. So unless we modify the unsignalized intersection to restrict left turns onto the highway, we are simply making an unsafe situation even more unsafe. Therefore, I recommended that we require a median to be constructed at the unsignalized intersection so that "unprotected" left turns onto the highway would not be possible at that location. The Planning Commission chose to ignore that recommendation, but that doesn't mean that all of a sudden the safety issue goes away just because the PC ignored it. So, I presented the City Council with two recommedations; one from the Planning Commission and one from me (the Planning Director).
To ignore the safety issue just because the Planning Commission ignored it would not have been serving the best interest of the health, safety and general welfare of the public and therefore, NOT DOING MY JOB.
Grow some backbone people!
If a median (or other traffic devise) was going to be an issue, the project would NOT be going to Planning Commission in the first place.
As for growing backbone, you're getting mighty close to a personal attack on people here... just thought you should know.

I think we all need to remember that there are distinct regional (and even state to state and locality to locality) differences in how the development review process works, what the job responsibilities of planners are in those different locations, and who has review authority.
For example, in my situation, all development review is done and approved by the Planning Board. The governing body has no authority in development review (they only have authority over the zoning ordinance). So in this scenario, there isn't the possibility of a split staff/board recommendation going to the governing body for development proposals.
Secondly, I am expected to review and make recommendations (along with our engineering staff) on ALL aspects of the development proposal. So traffic safety is absolutely something I would consider, and regularly do, in my recommendations.
So changing hats...
Moderator note:
Play nice, and stay away from personal attacks. It's getting a bit too heated in here.
"Growth is inevitable and desirable, but destruction of community character is not. The question is not whether your part of the world is going to change. The question is how." -- Edward T. McMahon, The Conservation Fund
I think we're all missing a keyword here--Interpretation. I don't think the word opinion should play into the situation at all. Even development codes leave room for interpretation by the professionals to some degree, and surely most to all comp plans do. This is why we go to school, to gain the background with which to make recommendations based upon our interpretations of the intent of applicable guidance documents and regulations. In current planning, anyway.
I have actually served on a Conservation Board and a Preservation Board (Town and City) where the staff was asked not for opinions but for a matching of the proposal against the existing code. The Boards did their own decision making with input as required. Hmmmm

A minimum of 1.5 credits will be on the topic of current planning law. These credits cannot be carried over to the next two-year reporting cycle.
Just in case anyone has not read the requirements that closely.1.12 Must the required (and any other) ethics credits be specifically related to the AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct?
Our code is specific to our professional conduct. Therefore all qualifying ethics courses must be related to the AICP Code.
Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
When a planner, in the context of making a recommendation, finds a flaw in the zoning code (in most jurisdictions based on 1960s-era thinking) or the comprehensive plan (often enacted during a previous legislative term), they are obligated to point this out and to provide potential fixes/changes/solutions to the identified shortcoming.
I have no problem in my job pointing out areas where the comp plan or the zoning ordinance is flawed; the comp plan is a living, breathing document, and the zoning ordinance can be amended if necessary to react to changes in the market and trends over time in the preferred pattern of built development.
Planners MUST be advocates for good planning at all times, even if that means trotting out APA doctrine as gospel. A planner worth their salt should have at the ready several solid reasons why their recommendation is preferable to an alternative recommendation.
When planners start relying on "it's our job to enforce the zoning ordinance and comp plan," they've given up. Of course it's our job to enforce the zoning ordinance and comp plan, but it's also our job to write them, and amend them, or at least recommend that the policymakers do so.
Does that entail a little arrogance? Yes, maybe it does, and how one mitigates that is largely a function of their social skills. You go to a dentist to get your teeth fixed, a mechanic to get your car fixed, a plumber to get your pipes fixed, and you go to a planner to get your community planned. It's why they hired us, we might as well do it.

You can never run out of imagination. The more you use, the more you gain.
Is that Disneyland or the Electric Daisy Carnival?
It's like a 90s raver's dream come true. LoL
The 6am video is like a European art film - poetic, absurd, melancholy yet strangely uplifting.
What a difference 2 hours can make at Disneyland, lol
Love the juxtaposition of the two videos.
Disney really upped the entertainment in front of the castle this time around. Loudest party in front of the castle EVER. Now finally leaving the park. wake me up when the next 24 hour event happens. will post pics after I hibernate for a week.
You can never run out of imagination. The more you use, the more you gain.
Everyone left at 5am when that party ended. It was great walking around an empty park that last hour!
Thanks for the videos, OP. Wow! that does come across as EXTREMELY loud, in front of the castle (and I've been to several New Years Eve celebrations at that spot). Although the lighting looks similar to what they have done in the past.
I tuned into the various live cameras occasionally on the official DisneyBlog. Since the camera on Main Street was on top of the Train Station, you could barely see the castle, since it was washed out with all the special lighting. Its nice to see (and hear) your video from directly in front of the castle.
the ending at six we thought would be something cool at the stage in front of the castle but it was so disappointing they where like congrats now get OUT!
I Fresh baked!
6am used to be my favorite time in the park when I worked as a CM. Our last break was at 6 am, then I knew I just had 2 more hours to go. It was cool walking around in a mostly empty park. Your 6 am video brought back many memories.
Jeff made me famous!
From the Mouth of the Mouse.
When did they change the closing time announcement? I like the one with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
give more options for the inner city youth they serve, build a new building, have a garden and a kitchen on site to teach kids how to cook. There is dire need for more meeting space during the week and space for youth to run around and maybe a garden.

Dear All,
We continue helping more than 7000 unprivileged children in Argentina through the work done by our nonprofit organization: Sumando Manos Foundation.
A generous anonymous donor has agreed to match 100% of new monthly donations from December 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Making a monthly recurring donation to our project to provide pediatric services in remote areas in Argentina and that donation will be matched! For example, if you set up a new $25 monthly recurring donation, GlobalGiving will donate an additional $25 to the project. Here is the link:
Any amount is very helpful for the nutrition, health and education programs that we are managing to improve the children lives and their communities
Have a wonderful holidays and a happy new year. All the best for you an your families,
Guillermo Donaire
Sumando Manos Foundation
Hola a todos!
Continuamos ayudando a mas de 7000 niños y sus escuelas de frontera en Argentina a través del trabajo que realizamos con nuestra organización: Sumando Manos Foundation.
Un generoso donante anónimo ha acordado dar el 100% adicional para nuevas donaciones mensuales recurrentes que se hagan entre el 1ro de diciembre de 2012 a 31 de diciembre de 2012. Si alguien hace una donación recurrente mensual a nuestro proyecto para proporcionar servicios pediátricos en áreas remotas de Argentina, su donación será duplicada!. Por ejemplo, si ingresas una nueva donación recurrente mensual de $25, GlobalGiving donará $25 adicionales para el proyecto. Aquí está el enlace..
Cualquier cantidad es de mucha ayuda para los proyectos de salud, nutrición y educación que estamos realizando para mejorar la calidad de vida de los chicos y sus comunidades.
Aprovecho para desearles a todos que tenga unas felices fiestas y año nuevo. Todo lo mejor a para ustedes y sus familias,
Dear Friend,Your constant help through the last years allows us to provide medical services and nutrition to thousands of children in rural schools of Argentina. Thanks to these programs supported by your help, critical heath problems related to nutrition deficiencies, dentistry problems and skin diseases are being gradually decreased.
These programs have a profound effect on the children and their communities located in remote areas in which the access to a hospital or medicine is virtually non-existent; and through them children are touched in an incredible way by having access to basic needs and by transforming the communities and making them believe that there is hope.
However, these programs need to be performed constantly in a regular basis to ensure their effectiveness.
On October 17th , GlobalGiving.org is matching at 30% all online donations! In addition to the 30% match, GlobalGiving is offering additional US$ 1000 prizes to the project that raises the most funds that day and to the project that receives donations from the most individual donors!
I will appreciate your donation to our project to support our health care and nutrition programs using the link below: $10 provides breakfast for a month for a child and $25 covers the pediatric service and medicine too.
THANKS for helping the children to have an opportunity for a better future and for trusting in our foundation to be the liaison between the children who needs our help and yourselves.
Octubre 17, Por favor, ayúdennos a proporcionar servicios de pediatría en zonas remotas de la Argentina.
Estimado amigo(a),Su constante ayuda a través de los últimos años nos permite ofrecer servicios médicos y de nutrición para miles de niños en las escuelas rurales de la Argentina. Gracias a estos programas apoyados por su ayuda, problemas críticos de salud relacionados con deficiencias nutricionales, problemas de odontología y enfermedades de la piel se han ido reduciendo gradualmente.
Estos programas tienen un profundo efecto en los niños y sus comunidades ubicadas en zonas remotas en las que el acceso a un hospital o a la medicina es prácticamente inexistente. A través de ellos los niños y sus comunidades se ven impactados de una forma increíble al tener acceso a cubrir necesidades básicas, así como también se ve afectada la mejora en su calidad de vida por la constate atención que a través de los años brindamos con estos programas.
Como estos programas deben llevarse a cabo constantemente en una base regular para asegurar su eficacia, nuevamente solicitamos su ayuda, y este 17 de Octubre, la organización GlobalGiving nos otorgara un 30% adicional por todas las donaciones que recibamos on-line para nuestro proyecto entre el primer minuto y el mediodía (horarios de USA, costa del Este)
Adicionalmente al 30%, la organización GlobalGiving estará ofreciendo premios adicionales de US$ 1000 al proyecto que consiga ese día la mayor cantidad de recaudación y al proyecto que reciba la mayor cantidad de donaciones individuales!
Agradecemos su donación a nuestro proyecto a través del siguiente enlace, y como referencia por favor tenga presente que con US$10 estará cubriendo de desayuno por un mes por un niño y con US$ 25 cubrirá el servicio de pediatría y medicina también.
Este es el enlace: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/pediatric-services-in-remote-areas-of-argentina/
Muchas gracias por ayudar a los niños a tener una oportunidad para un futuro mejor y por confiar en nuestra fundación para ser el enlace entre los niños que necesita nuestra ayuda y su generosidad.
Dear friends of Sumando Manos Foundation,
Once again, we share our news bulletin. During this year we've done many activities and our projects kept growing thanks to the invaluable help received from all of you.
Accomplishments and projects:
· We continued sending food to the schools in Pampa del Indio, Chaco as part of our campaign "For a Child's Breakfast". Through this program, approximately 250 children receive food daily.
· Santa Clara Civil Association completed several trips where they visited 14 schools in Chaco (4 schools), Entre Ríos (2 schools), Santiago del Estero (2 schools), Salta (1 school) and Jujuy (5 schools). They travelled over 11,000 Km through parts of the roads which are dirt and gravel to visit 14 rural schools. They provided pediatric medical and dental attention and also educated children and their parents about hygiene habits. They also took care of burn cases, where the immediate medical attention was critical to avoid serious infections. These continuous visits throughout the years have contributed to the improvement of life quality in these communities and have helped reduce the number of malnutrition cases, skin disease and improve dental health. Food, medicines, toys, school supplies, clothing and other donated items were provided during each visit; some structural repairs were performed as well. The students from José León Larre in González Catan, (Buenos Aires) assembled volleyball net with plastic bags. Three students participated in the trip to Santiago del Estero to personally bring the net to the school, showing their commitment to solidarity combined with their recycling conscience not to contaminate. Congratulations!
· The electrical system repair work in Noccan Kani was completed. Here, approximately 150 children receive food and carry out physical activities on a daily basis.
· We continue to provide pediatric services to schools in remote areas in different provinces of Argentina through donations received on GlobalGiving:
· https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/pediatric-services-in-remote-areas-of-argentina/
· The pediatric program includes also dental health services and the distribution of powdered milk. Starting this year we incorporated ophthalmologic services as well. Currently, more than 2000 children are benefited through this program in different locations in Salta, Misiones, Santa Fe, Tucumán and Buenos Aires.
· Our partner in Argentina, Teresa Donaire, continues to work hard coordinating the reception and destination of donations. She is responsible for receiving, packing and sending everything according to the specific needs of each community or school. Donations received include items such as: food, school supplies, toys, clothes, shoes, medicine, furniture, beds, mattresses and computers, among other things. The donations were sent to more than 20 schools and institutions located in Entre Ríos, Chaco, Salta, Misiones, Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Corrientes, and Neuquén. Through this program, more than 1500 children receive the donations that hundreds of generous people make.
News and Events:
· Each of us can create a fundraising campaign!
If you or anyone you know is interested in participating in a marathon, triathlon or any other sporting event and would like to participate to benefit Sumando Manos Foundation, please contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com). These campaigns can also be done with other type of events such as birthdays or anniversaries. It is very simple and without any additional work, your participation can help us raise the funds we need to support and maintain our programs to keep providing food and health services through the Foundation.
· We continue our program "Dine in an Argentinean Restaurant and Help a Child in Need" where the first Tuesday of each month our partner restaurants donate a percentage of their revenues. Thanks to all the business that participate and give us their support: The Knife, Novecento Bistro Argentino, Bertoni, Dolce Vita Ice Cream, Panizza, Parrilla Liberty, La Patagonia and Maya Tapas and Grill.
· A "Truco Tournament" was held in May in Manolo's Restaurant in Miami Beach (73rd Street and Collins Ave) and, on May 30th we held our first "World Truco Series Tournament at Novecento Bistro Argentino in Brickell. In a relaxed, friendly environment, the players enjoyed the new venue. At the request of the participants, we held two more tournaments at this location during the months of June and July. We'd like to thank Manolo's for the constant support and Novencento for opening their doors to us.
After a summer break we met again last Tuesday, September 18th in Manolo's Restaurant. Thanks everyone for your participation and contribution to have a great time and a successful event!!!!
· On October 17th we will have our "matching day" through GlobalGiving. On that day, for every donation made to our projects before noon (EST), GlobalGiving will donate an additional 30%. Thanks in advance to all of you who have the opportunity to donate, no matter how small the amount: $10 cover a child's breakfast for a month and $25 cover breakfast as well as medicine and a pediatric visit. Please follow this link: http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/pediatric-services-in-remote-areas-of-argentina/
Thank you! To all of you who trust our Foundation to be the link between the generosity of those who collaborate and the children who need our help.

Canadian prescription drugs
Does anyone have any info. about ordering prescription drugs from Canada? I will be on Medicare in March and will no longer have prescription insurance. I'm investigating options. Helen
Sorry, but I don't have any info on this. Besides, I thought that this was banned, or something. I don't know if you'd be interested in this or not, but there's a site on the web where you can get some prescription drugs for like ---$ 5.00--(at least, that's what they say)---just type in "free prescription drugs" and you should be able to find it. I think you have to send in 5 bucks for each prescription and they send a letter to your doctor.
I handle matters for a relative. One drug is $157 for 30 pills (one a day). I went on GOOGLE and got a Canadian toll free number from an advertiser. I talked to them. For $121.00 I can get 60 pills. There's no generic and I asked twice if it was the identical drug I purchased in the U.S. The person said yes. They said nothing about new laws or restrictions. I've heard these are being kicked around but have not been implemented. QUESTIION: I feel uneasy that the drug may not be the same although I was told it was. If anyone has had ordering experience I'd certainly like to hear from them. Thanks.
Please also investigate each drug manufacturer's website. Many have free drug programs for those who can't afford it. I looked into this for my mom, who was on Coumadin. You can also ask your doctor for as many free samples as he/she can give you. Some docs are very sympathetic and will help all they can.

A method of providing extracorporeal to intracorporeal power transfer in a patient employs a cylindrical primary coil inserted into a segment of small intestine which has been separated and closed at one end. The open end is attached to the abdominal wall providing an opening to the exterior of the body. A secondary coil is formed by wrapping a wire around the serosa of the segmented small intestine. This is in effect a transformer which will transfer energy from the primary coil to the secondary coil. The vascularization of the segment provides for rapid and efficient heat dissipation. This device can be used to power heart assist devices and artificial hearts. Since it is located in an internal pouch, proper location of the primary coil is ensured.
1. A method of implanting an extra to intracorporeal power supply within a body comprising:
attaching a vascularized intestinal segment to the abdominal wall said segment opened at the end attached to the abdominal wall and closed at the opposite end;
forming an internal secondary coil of wire around serosa of said intestinal segment with first and second ends of said wire remaining in said body;
inserting a primary coil through said open end into said intestinal segment whereby an alternating current passing through said primary coil causes an induction current in said secondary coil effective to power electrically operated prosthetic devices attached to said first and second ends.
2. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein said intestinal segment is a segment of small intestine.
3. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein said power supply has a power output of at least about 20 watts.
4. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein said primary coil comprises a wire wound cylinder.
5. The method claimed in claim 4 wherein said cylinder is silicone.
6. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein said secondary coil is a preformed coil and is slipped over the open end of said intestinal segment before it is attached to the abdominal wall.
7. A primary coil adapted for use as an extra to-intracorporeal energy transfer device comprising a cylindrical core having a rounded first end and a tapered second end separated by a cylindrical central section;
a wire having first and second ends said wire wrapped around said cylindrical central section;
said first and second ends passing from said cylindrical central section through said tapered second end.
There are a number of internal power consuming prosthetic devices now employed or contemplated for implantation in the human body. A common problem with all of these devices is providing an effective, safe power supply. Smaller devices such as pacemakers can use replaceable batteries. The necessity of surgically replacing batteries periodically is not a significant problem. With respect to devices requiring more power than the pacemaker battery supplied power is inadequate. Devices such as artificial hearts require up to 20 watts of continuous power. A battery designed to provide such power for 60 days would weigh at least 20 kilograms. Nuclear power supplies are also inappropriate since the shielding requirements would make these unsuitable. Further, if the shielding failed, the results could be catastrophic.
All devices used in humans for mechanical circulatory assistance have, therefore, required a permanent opening in the skin for energy transfer. These include pneumatic conduits for balloon pumps, the Jarvik total artificial heart and the Thermo Medical Systems assist device, blood conduits for the Thoratec (Pierce-Donachy) and Abiomed sacular pumps, an electrical cable for the Novacor solenoid pump and a spinning torque cable for the Nimbus Hemo pump intravascular turbine. Whereas these have occasionally been used for extended periods without infection (over two years in one Jarvik patient and over ten months in a current Novacor recipient), clinical and experimental observations indicate that such an integumental break presents a continuing risk of infection.
Principally for this reason, none of these devices except the Jarvik have been seriously proposed for long term circulatory support. All the others have been promoted as strictly temporary aid for use during expected cardiac recovery or during the waiting period for a transplant donor. Infections have been minimal for these short periods.
Electrical induction has long been entertained as a means of delivering power from extracorporeal source across intact integument. In 1961, a transformer operating with radio frequency alternating current from an external to a subcutaneous coil was reported by Schuder, Stephenson and Townsend. It was reasoned that a coil within a coil configuration could be more efficient and a tube pedicled skin flap was utilized. Within this tube of skin (shaped like a suitcase handle and attached to the chest wall at either end) lay a secondary coil while the primary coil with an iron core (allowing a lower frequency current to be used), surrounded it. Efficiencies of 97% (57 watts, 20 kHz) were reported.
Two groups of investigators have pursued these concepts for the past decade and have been developing inductive energy transmission systems seriously intended for powering of clinical circulatory assist devices. A belt skin transformer was developed by LaForge at Novacor which consists of a narrow single turn flexible secondary coil implanted in the subcutaneous tissue around the waist and a five turn extracorporeal primary coil worn in a belt. This has effectively transmitted 15 watts of continuous power at more than 75% efficiency in both in vitro models and experimental animal models. This system is intended to be coupled with a modified version of Novacor's current temporary solenoid operated intracorporeal left ventricular assist system to form a support system for long term use. Animals with the implanted device have survived for over two years with little difficulty reported.
An induction device has been developed by Thermedics, Inc. (now Thermo Medical Systems) which is situated in and on the anterior abdominal wall. The implanted secondary coil is made of 16 turns of braided copper wire wrapped around a dome-shaped polyurethane appliance within the abdominal subcutaneous tissue. The primary is a 3 turn coil in a ring that is worn surrounding the mound produced by the secondary appliance and secured by a belt. Transmission of 24 watts has been demonstrated. In efficiency studies in animals this has delivered 6 to 12 watts of usable power with a 3 watt loss (65%-70% efficiency). Most of the losses were demonstrated in external components and about 1 watt was lost in the transformer itself, presumably as heat. A clinical form of this device is to be used with an electric version of Thermo Medical System's current pneumatic left ventricular assist system.
These devices seem likely to offer a practical means for extra to intracorporeal energy transfer. Consideration of their use in patients, however, suggests some possible problems.
The only known prior use of a life supporting device that had to be maintained in the surface position was the radiofrequency induction coil used in pacemakers before introduction of satisfactory implantable batteries. These worked very well electrically (the very low power requirements of pacemakers needed a much less efficient inductor than assist devices) but there was a high fatality rate clinically due to inadvertent displacement by the patient.
Further, changes in electrical load of a pumping device or minor component failure in the activating circuit can potentially increase the heat produced in implanted secondary coils. Potential for dissipation of this heat without damage to surrounding tissue is limited by tissue blood supply. A serious burn of the tissue layer separating the primary and secondary coils could lead to device infection. Further, the discomfort and annoyance of a device that the patient can constantly feel in contact with his or her skin compounded by this psychological impact of knowing that that itch, tickle, or irritation is to be there for life is impossible to anticipate or calculate.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a new extra-to intracorporeal power transformer. More particularly, the present invention is premised on the realization that an isolated segment of small intestine can be closed at one end and at the opposite end attached to the surface of the skin providing an implanted pouch which can hold a primary coil. An intracorporeal secondary coil can be formed on the serosa of the intestinal segment.
The intestinal segment presents a thin layer of very well vascularized tissue with accessible intracorporeal and extracorporeal surfaces without the need for devascularizing dissection. It is naturally tubular making it suitable for an efficient transformer design (coil within a coil). This surgical procedure is similar to a surgical technique used for isolating a segment of small intestine connecting one end to the abdominal skin to use it as a conduit for urine after bladder removal.
The present invention provides for the use of a cylindrical coil within a coil transformer design which is particularly efficient. Further, if additional power is required, two such devices can be implanted at different locations to provide for greater power input. Such a system for extracorporeal to intracorporeal energy transfer is useful for any electrically operated power-consuming internal prosthetic device and particularly suitable for heart assist devices such as artificial hearts.
The objects and advantages of the present invention will be further appreciated in light of the following detailed descriptions and drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a patient with the implanted device of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of an ileal sac incorporating the present invention partially in cross section;
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of an alternate embodiment of a completed intestinal pouch with the secondary coil in place; and
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic depiction of the circuit used in the present invention.
An extra to intracorporeal power supply is basically an air core transformer whose primary coil is a cylindrical coil inserted into an ileal sac which is formed from a dissected portion of the small intestines and sewn to the abdominal wall leaving a cutaneous stoma.
The secondary winding is located within the body cavity surrounding the ileal sac. The secondary winding can then lead to an electrically powered prosthetic device within the body cavity.
More particularly, as shown in FIG. 1, the patient 20 has an ileal sac 21 which includes a sutured or closed end 22 and a cutaneous stoma 24. As is shown in FIG. 2, the mesentery 23 remains attached to the ileal sac 21. Further, as more particularly shown in FIG. 2, the ileal sac includes a primary coil implant 36 which is located in the interior of the ileal sac 21. Surrounding the ileal sac 21 is the secondary coil 41.
The ileal sac 21 is formed from a section of the small intestine. A segment of the small intestine is selected and surgically isolated. The remaining bowel is then reconnected. This is the same procedure used in the formation of an ileal urinary diversion loop and as such, is a well known operative procedure. The length of the segment of small intestine will in large part be determined by the vasculature of the segment. Removal of the segment should not interrupt or intersect any blood flow from the mesentery to the selected segment. The selected segment with mesentery is then sutured shut at one end as indicated by 22 in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the mesentery 23 remains attached to the formed ileal sac 21.
A cutaneous stoma 24 is then formed in the lower abdominal region. To accomplish this, a small slit 25 is formed through the muscle tissue 26 and the first end 27 of the ileal sac is passed through slit 25 and sewn to the skin 28 to form the cutaneous stoma.
The specific construction of the pouch is dependent on the relative diameters of the primary coil appliance and intestinal segment selected. It can be formed as a simple segment, a doubled or "J" type pouch or a quadrupled pouch similar to that used in a Koch ileostomy. If a doubled or quadrupled segment is employed, a single pouch is formed by well-known operative procedures.
The secondary coil 40 is formed by taking a selected length of wire and wrapping this around the serosa (outer wall of the segment). As shown in FIG. 2, this can be simply wrapped around the serosa and the mesentery. Optionally, a wire can be passed through the mesentery as it is wrapped around the segment with care taken to avoid perforating any blood vessels. The leads 42 and 43 of the secondary coil can then be directed to the internal circuitry and batteries 60 which would lead to the internal power consuming prosthetic device 61 which in this case is depicted as a total artificial heart.
In an alternate embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the secondary coil can be a preformed coil 50 having wire windings 51 encased in a silicone sleeve 52. Where a preformed sleeve is employed, the sleeve may be slipped over the segment before or after the cutaneous stoma is formed, depending on which end the mesentery may exit with the least compression and distortion. The secondary coil 50 is held in stable relationships to the intestinal segment by suturing.
Again, the general method of forming an ileal sac and cutaneous stoma is the same method employed in the formation of a ileal urinary diversion loop which is a well known surgical procedure.
A schematic diagram of the input circuit of an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 4. The primary loop 101 includes input terminals 103, 105 and a tuning capacitor 107. The resistance and the inductance of the winding are represented by resistor 109 and inductor 111, respectively. For purposes of illustration, a current is shown in the primary loop having a clockwise direction. The tuning capacitor 107 is selected for the input frequency range of the power supply as is well known within the art. The secondary loop 113 includes output terminals 115, 117 and a secondary tuning capacitor 119. The tuning capacitor 119 in the secondary loop 113 is used to compensate for the secondary inductive reactance. As explained below, the primary inductive reactance and reflected portion of secondary inductive reactance can also be compensated through the tuning of capacitor 107 alone eliminating the need for tuning capacitor 119. The resistance and the inductance of the secondary winding are represented by resistor 121 and inductor 123, respectively. The current in the secondary loop is illustrated as having a clockwise direction.
The mutual impedance, represented simply as Xm, between the loops can be determined from the two currents, the input voltage and the components in the primary loop by the equation Xm =(V1 -I1 (R1 -Xcl +X11)]/I2. The mutual impedance may also be calculated using the component values in the secondary loop, the output voltage, and the two loop currents in accordance with the formula Xm =-V2 [I2 (R2 -Xc2 +X12)]/I1. In both of these equations, the tuning capacitors in one or both of the loops have been adjusted to compensate for their respective inductive reactances. This compensation means the impedance of the tuning capacitor, which can be represented by a complex number, and the input circuit, which can also be represented by a complex number, have imaginary parts which are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. Thus, the imaginary parts of the impedance values cancel one another out and the current is in phase with the voltage through the purely resistive components. At this point of resonance, i.e., where the tuning capacitor compensates for the imaginary component of the impedance, the input power is calculated by the formula P1 =V1 �I1 and the output power is calculated by the formula P2 =V2 �I2.
The primary coil is formed from braided copper Litz wire embedded in a low durometer medical grade silicone rubber tapered cylinder. Construction consists of handcrafting a ceramic model of identical size and shape as the intended primary appliance (generally 1.5 to 3 cm outside diameter and 5 to 10 cm long with an extended 1 cm "tail" for lead wires). A mold is made from this model using silicone rubber similar to that of the appliance itself. The wire is wrapped around a mandrel of a size that will produce an external coil diameter slightly smaller than the mold. A ribbon of uncured silicone rubber placed on the mandrel before wrapping is then cured to maintain coil integrity when the coil is removed from the mandrel.
The coil is removed from the mandrel, placed in the mold and filled with silicone rubber. Alternately the coil can be filled with ferrite powder before being coated with silicone to increase core inductance, to increase couples and improved efficiency. Generally about 36 gms of ferrite has been packed within the coil. Ferrox cube C385 brand ferrite is currently preferred. The mold includes a round first end and a tapered second end to form a primary coil implant as shown in FIG. 2. After curing, this is suitable for use as a primary coil implant for use in an ileal sac.
A secondary coil as shown in FIG. 3 is formed from silicone coated wire which is wrapped around the serosa with 1 to 2 turns per centimeter.
A preformed secondary coil, as shown in FIG. 3, is formed by again wrapping the wire around a mandrel and applying an uncured silicone rubber to the wire. The silicone is cured and the coil removed from the mandrel in a cylindrical appliance.
An appropriate length of wire should remain on either end of the coil to provide leads 42 and 43 for attachment to the prosthetic device.
To test the device, ileal implants were formed and implanted within canine test subjects. Physical characteristics of an intraluminal appliance that would fit the canine's small bowel segment with minimum distortion were outlined and a model built. The model had a curved (radius of curvature 15.25 centimeters) cylindrical (diameter 1.4 centimeters) configuration with one end rounded and the other tapered to a 0.6 centimeter diameter tube intended to extend through the cutaneous orifice and contain lead wires 42 and 43. It was cast of 40 durometer medical silicone rubber purchased from Dow Corning Corporation Medical Products MDX-4210 in molds of similar material made from an initial ceramic (polyform compound, Polyform Products, Inc.) handcrafted model.
The primary coils were built in a size and shape that would fit within this cylinder. Litz wire (copper, 400 strands of 40 gauge, braided 12 turns per inch, Kerrigan-Lewis, Inc. Chicago) was selected for its ability to conduct radiofrequency currents in the 100 kHz to 200 kHz range with minimal loss. Coils of this wire were mandrel wrapped in an appropriate diameter after applying a ribbon of uncured silicone rubber to one side and curing. These were removed, placed within the mold with the lead wires extending through a tube of similar material and the mold was injected with silicone rubber. The cylinders were cured.
Secondary coil configurations that would physically adapt to a segment of canine intestine with this primary coil appliance in its lumen was then determined. With the primary in place, a length of Litz wire was brought through an opening in the mesentery immediately adjacent the intestine carefully avoiding mesenteric vessels. After advancing half the length of the wire through the mesentery, each end of the wire was wound circumferentially towards one end of the cylinder on the serosal surface of a bowel using two corrugated silicone rubber guides. With each pass, the minimum traction needed to keep the wire in contact with the serosa was applied. Vessels were avoided with surgical telescopic magnification. After the ends were sutured to the mesentery, the secondary coil external diameter was measured. The thickness of the primary and secondary coil with the secondary thus loosely wound, was calculated.
Dual coil assemblies of similar geometry were constructed for bench testing, using appropriately sized latex tubes to separate and maintain position. A DC/AC invertor capable of providing up to 35 watts of power at frequencies of 100 kHz to 300 kHz from a 6 to 12 volt DC power supply was used to assess inductive characteristics of the coil assembly. Mutual reactance and inductance were measured using a series resonant circuit with a known capacitor, varying input frequency to resonance. Coupling was determined by open secondary transformer tests measuring output voltage and input current at resonant frequency.
In "bench" testing, efficiency of the entire system is 75%. Transformer efficiencies have been greater than 95%.
Thirteen canine implants as discussed above were conducted with thermisters (Clinical Swan-Ganz Catheters, Edwards Critical Care Division Baxter Health Care Corporation, Santa Anna, California) positioned between the turns of the secondary coil and situated remotely in the abdomen either in the pelvis or between the liver and the lateral abdominal wall. The animals were subjected for periods of 45 to 400 minutes of power transfer increasing stepwise to a peak from 2.5 to 15 watts. Excessive sustained (over 1� C.) temperature elevation did not occur in the absence of electrical malfunction (short circuits) or surgical problems (kinking of mesentery). These were avoided in the last several animals, demonstrating that the device can successfully provide power without causing excessive heat build up about the device. The vasculature of the bowel segment effectively removes significant amounts of heat generated during power transfer.
By employing the device of the present invention, an individual can use an electrically powered prosthetic device such as an artificial heart or a heart assist device. Since portable power supplies are available and economically, the patient can retain basic mobility.
This device is beneficial since the blood flow through the mesentery is relatively high and provides for dissipation of heat formed by such inductive devices. Further, since the intestinal wall lacks tactile sense, the device will not be as noticeable to the patient as would a device implanted in the skin.
Since the primary coil lies in a sac, inadvertent displacement is particularly unlikely and proper location is ensured.
This has been a description of the present invention together with the best mode of the invention currently known.

Product description
Complete Edition This is the lively account of the many miracles wrought by Apollonius as well as his journeys to Egypt and India and finally his showdown with the Emperor of Rome. It is also a philosophical and religious work that for a long time rivalled Christianity and Jesus Christ. In the Life of Apollonius, the Athenian author Philostratus, a sophist who lived from c.170 to c.247, tells the story of Apollonius of Tyana, a charismatic teacher and miracle worker from the first century CE who belonged to the school of Pythagoras. (A summary can be found here.) It is an apologetic work, in which Philostratus tries to show that Philostratus was a man with divine powers, but not a magician. He also pays attention to Apollonius' behavior as a sophist. A pukka classic from www.arepo.biz
