Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090137940 | DIAPHRAGM PUMP AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - In some arrangements, a pump for moving a fluid has one or more pump chambers and one or more flow control valves with diaphragm actuation regions. Motive fluid can activate the diaphragm actuation regions, and a pattern of fluid flow can be controlled by varying the pressure levels of the motive fluid. | 05-28-2009 |
20110136594 | VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE SYSTEM - A volleyball practice system that includes a support frame with an attached reduced size volleyball practice net, a catch net, a removable and selectively positionable suspended ball attached to the support frame by a plurality of tethers, and a selectively removable electronic speed sensor and indicator device attached to the support frame for indicating the speed of the volleyball as it travels transversely to a vertical planar surface of the practice net. | 06-09-2011 |
20120179235 | COMPOSITE STENT GRAFTS FOR IN SITU ASSEMBLY AND RELATED METHODS - Composite stent grafts can include separate components that are capable of being repositioned relative to each other in situ. In some examples, a stent and a graft that are attached to each other in an insertion package do not overlap each other. The graft and stent are moved relative to each other in situ. | 07-12-2012 |
20120224984 | DIAPHRAGM PUMP AND PUMPING SYSTEMS - A process fluid pump can include a pump chamber, an inlet valve, and an outlet valve. Diaphragm regions can define at least a portion of each of the pump chamber, the inlet valve, and the outlet valve. The diaphragm regions can each have an actuation region with a surface that is convexly shaped when the formed actuation region is in a natural unstressed first state, and each formed actuation region can be actuated by a motive fluid to transition to a second state in which the surface is non-convexly shaped. | 09-06-2012 |
20120239021 | MAGNETICALLY COUPLING DEVICES FOR MAPPING AND/OR ABLATING - Systems for ablating tissue can include a pair of electrode assemblies. The electrode assemblies can automatically align on opposing sides of operative tissue due to magnetic interaction. One assembly can move automatically in response to the other assembly due to the magnetic interaction. Some systems are capable of cooling the electrode assemblies during ablation procedures. | 09-20-2012 |
20130211282 | ESOPHAGEAL HEAT SENSORS - Heat sensors can be positioned within the esophagus of a patient so as to monitor temperature changes during ablation procedures in the heart. Some heat sensors can include a wire that defines an extended heat sensing region capable of detecting a change in the local temperature. Some heat sensors can be conformable to an inner surface of the esophageal wall to maintain contact therewith or to be in close proximity thereto. | 08-15-2013 |
20130211283 | FLUIDIC ESOPHAGEAL HEAT SENSORS - Heat sensors can be positioned within the esophagus of a patient so as to monitor temperature changes during ablation procedures in the heart. Some heat sensors can include one or more fluid passageways that define an extended heat sensing region capable of detecting a change in the local temperature. Some heat sensors can be conformable to an inner surface of the esophageal wall to maintain contact therewith or to be in close proximity thereto. | 08-15-2013 |
20130324986 | DEVICES FOR KILLING TUMOR CELLS AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Various devices, systems, and methods are capable of killing tumor cells by delivering cell-disrupting agents into a tumor in an inward direction from a peripheral border about the tumor. In some examples, a covering that includes one or more emissive elements encompasses at least a portion of a tumor such that the emissive element is directed inwardly toward the tumor so as to be able to introduce a cell-disrupting agent into the tumor. In further examples, the covering is incorporated into a glove. | 12-05-2013 |
20140142565 | MAGNETICALLY COUPLING DEVICES FOR MAPPING AND/OR ABLATING - Systems for ablating tissue can include a pair of electrode assemblies. The electrode assemblies can automatically align on opposing sides of operative tissue due to magnetic interaction. One assembly can move automatically in response to the other assembly due to the magnetic interaction. Some systems are capable of cooling the electrode assemblies during ablation procedures. | 05-22-2014 |
