Abstract[English]
Alternating electric fields (e.g., TTFields) may be applied to a subject's body using electrode assemblies, each of which includes a plurality of graphite sheets (or sheets of another conductive anisotropic material) that are positioned adjacent to, but not touching, each other. One or more electrode elements are disposed in electrical contact with each of the graphite sheets. Strips of electrically insulating and thermally conductive material are disposed between the graphite sheets, and these strips are positioned in thermal contact with the adjacent graphite sheets. The graphite sheets facilitate the passive spreading of heat within the confines of any given sheet. And the strips of material allow the passive spreading of heat to continue beyond the confines of any given sheet without compromising inter-sheet electrical isolation.[French]
Des champs électriques alternatifs (par exemple, des champs TTF) peuvent être appliqués au corps d'un sujet à l'aide d'ensembles d'électrodes, dont chacun comprend une pluralité de feuilles de graphite (ou de feuilles d'un autre matériau conducteur anisotrope) placées à proximité les unes des autres, mais ne se touchant pas. Un ou plusieurs éléments d'électrode sont placés en contact électrique avec chacune des feuilles de graphite. Des bandes de matériau électriquement isolant et thermiquement conducteur sont placées entre les feuilles de graphite, et ces bandes sont placées en contact thermique avec les feuilles de graphite adjacentes. Les feuilles de graphite facilitent la diffusion passive de la chaleur dans les limites de toute feuille donnée. De plus, les bandes de matériau permettent à la diffusion passive de la chaleur de se poursuivre au-delà des limites de toute feuille donnée, sans compromettre l'isolation électrique entre les feuilles.
