20160071505 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING NOISE TRANSMISSION THROUGH A WINDOW - Attenuators are introduced that offer quiet, enhanced sound quality for interior of enclosures than previous devices. An acoustical rating system for the levels of sound propagation through glass windows/windshields is introduced for the building and construction industry. Just as windows and insulation have an R-value to define the temperature energy efficiency of the interior of a room, an A-Rating™ system would define the acoustical energy efficiency of an enclosure space. In the summer, the higher the R-value, the less cool air that escapes a room through a window (and the less heat that penetrates into the interior), thus keeping the room cooler with less energy. Similarly, the higher the A-Rating™ of a window, the less noise that propagates through, maintaining lower levels of sound in the interior of an enclosure, creating a more harmonious, acoustically energy efficient room for enhanced health, preventing sleep interference, speech interference, and maintaining adequate levels of safety according to EPA and OSHA standards. The A-Rating™ system can help set standards for bearable and unbearable windows for a particular house, building, shopping store, restaurant, vehicle-cabin, fuselage cabin, locomotive/train/subway cabin, hotel, apartment, airport, library, museum, or any other enclosure, for a particular area or jurisdiction. | 03-10-2016 |

20130289549 | SHAFTS WITH PRESSURE RELIEF IN CRYOTHERAPEUTIC CATHETERS AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - Cryotherapeutic systems with features that can facilitate pressure relief in the event of exhaust-passage blockage and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. A cryotherapeutic system configured in accordance with a particular embodiment can include an elongated shaft having a distal portion and a pressure-relief portion proximal to the distal portion. The cryotherapeutic system can further include a supply lumen, an exhaust passage, and a balloon configured to receive refrigerant from the supply lumen and to exhaust refrigerant to the exhaust passage. The pressure-relief portion can be configured to release refrigerant from the exhaust passage when a pressure of refrigerant in the exhaust passage exceeds a threshold pressure less than a pressure rating of the balloon. The pressure-relief portion, for example, can include a rupture element configured to rupture at about the threshold pressure. | 10-31-2013 |
20150342660 | CRYOGENIC KYPHOPLASTY INSTRUMENT AND METHODS OF USE - A surgical instrument includes an outer shaft defining a passageway. An inner shaft is disposed within the passageway and defines a lumen. An expandable structure has a first end coupled to a second end of the outer shaft and a second end coupled to a second end of the inner shaft. The expandable member defines a chamber. A delivery shaft includes a first end positioned within the passageway and a second end positioned within the chamber. The delivery shaft defines a channel configured to deliver a coolant out of an opening in the second end of the delivery shaft and into the chamber to move the expandable structure from an unexpanded configuration to an expanded configuration. A variable exhaust valve is in communication with the passageway and is configured to regulate pressure within the chamber. Systems and methods are disclosed. | 12-03-2015 |
20160038212 | Cryoablation Apparatuses, Systems, and Methods for Renal Neuromodulation - Catheter apparatuses, systems, and methods for cryogenically modulating neural structures of the renal plexus by intravascular access are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present application, for example, is directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods that incorporate a catheter treatment device comprising an elongated shaft. The elongated shaft is sized and configured to deliver a cryo-applicator to a renal artery via an intravascular path. Cryogenic renal neuromodulation may be achieved via application of cryogenic temperatures to modulate neural fibers that contribute to renal function, or of vascular structures that feed or perfuse the neural fibers. | 02-11-2016 |

20090264858 | Catheter Having a Detachable Tip - A catheter is disclosed that has a detachable tip for delivery of a therapeutic substance to a chronic total occlusion (CTO) within a body vessel. The tip is made from a biodegradable material and includes an active agent dispersed therethrough. The detachable tip pierces into the calcified lesion, detaches from the catheter, and remains embedded within the lesion as the tip degrades, thereby releasing the active agent. The active agent is a therapeutic substance effective to treat of a CTO. The active agent may be a drug, an enzyme, bacteria, or a parasite that degrades or softens the calcified lesion. | 10-22-2009 |

20150360076 | CORE MUSCLE TRAINING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A core muscle training apparatus and method is described. The apparatus comprises a harness that is worn by the user, to which a pair of resistance leads are connected at opposing sides of the user's waist approximately above the hips. A resistance force is applied through the resistance leads against an effort force exerted by the user in order to stimulate recruitment and activation of the targeted muscles. By adjusting the direction and the amount of resistance force applied to the resistance leads, the demand on the muscles being targeted can be controlled. The core muscle training apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure further offers versatility in the environment in which it can be used. The apparatus can be used, for example, when the user is in a static position or can be used during dynamic functional movements. | 12-17-2015 |
