20110288544 | MEDICAL DEVICE FOR TISSUE ABLATION - A medical device for ablating tissues within a heart chamber comprising a first guiding member intended to be introduced in the hollow structure surrounding the left atrium of the patient and a second ablating member comprising an ablation electrode mounted at the distal end or tip of catheter. Both, the head of the guiding member and the tip of the ablating member are magnetised and can enter into magnetic coupling when their distal ends are brought in close contact. Once the magnetic coupling is achieved, the tip of the first member is guided by moving the guiding member. Preferably, the guiding member includes sensors enabling to monitor physiological parameters during the intervention. | 11-24-2011 |

20120178062 | Haptic Interface for Simulator, Such as a Colonoscopy Simulator - A device for endoscopic simulation includes an endoscopic interface with a guiding tube for guiding an endoscope. The tube is mounted on bearings for free rotation and includes windows for allowing a contact between the endoscope and friction rollers for tracking axial displacement of the endoscope and for imposing a linear force feedback on the endoscope. One friction roller is connected to a motor for transmission of torque generated by the motor. Another friction roller is connected to an encoder for tracking its axial displacement. The device further includes an axial brake for blocking axial movement of the endoscope while allowing rotation of the endoscope. The axial brake includes two pairs of brake rollers placed around the endoscope. One pair of brake rollers is movable relatively to another pair for realizing the axial blocking. One friction roller is mounted on the tube via a lever actuated by spring means for allowing smooth insertion of endoscopes having different sizes and ensuring sufficient contact force on the endoscope of the brake rollers. | 07-12-2012 |

20160022444 | PROSTHESIS SEALS AND METHODS FOR SEALING AN EXPANDABLE PROSTHESIS - Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to devices and techniques for para-valve sealing of an expandable stent-valve implanted using a catheter. In some embodiments, a stent-valve is provided which comprises a seal sleeve/cuff containing material that swells when contacted by blood. A piercing tool may be included and used to permit a user to puncture the sleeve/cuff prior to introduction into a patient's body. In some embodiments, the sleeve/cuff has an integral tubular structure configured to withstand balloon expansion of the stent-valve during or after implantation. In some embodiments, the seal is provided as a separate component from the stent-valve. | 01-28-2016 |

20140277633 | ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE MONITORING DEVICE - The present invention provides an athletic performance monitoring device having an accelerometer configured such that it can be worn by a user close to the center of gravity of the athlete; and a processing system including a global positioning system. The accelerometer is further configured such that it can wirelessly communicate acceleration data, relating to the acceleration of the user, to the processing system. In addition, the processing system is configured such that it can request acceleration data from the accelerometer only when some events depending on the output of the global positioning system and/or on a clock are occurring. It can also process the acceleration data it receives from the accelerometer to provide athletic performance information. There is further provided a corresponding method for providing athletic performance information. There is also provided an accelerometer for use in an athletic performance monitoring device. | 09-18-2014 |
