20080291956 | Driving laser diodes with immunity to temperature changes, aging, and other effects - Various systems and methods are provided to achieve laser power control. In one embodiment, a system is provided that comprises a counter that holds a digital value. An digital-to-analog converter is employed to convert the digital value to an analog current. A data threshold current is generated by a laser driver based upon the analog current. The data threshold current is employed to represent a data value in a data signal employed to drive a laser diode. Also, circuitry is employed to adjust the digital value based upon a comparison between a target threshold current and a feedback current generated from a laser output of the laser diode. | 11-27-2008 |

20080200797 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENDOBRONCHIAL DIAGNOSIS - The present invention provides systems, methods, devices and kits for assessing the level of pulmonary disease in individual lung compartments. A lung compartment comprises a subportion of a lung, such as a lobe, a segment or a subsegment, for example. By measuring individual lung compartments, the level of disease of the pulmonary system may be more precisely defined by determining values of disease parameters reflective of individual subportions or compartments of a lung. Likewise, compartments may be separately imaged to provide further measurement information. Once individual compartments are characterized, they may be compared and ranked based on a number of variables reflecting, for example, level of disease or need for treatment. Such comparison may be aided by simultaneous display of such variables or images on a visual display. Further, the same tests may be performed on the lung as a whole or on both lungs and to determine the affect of the diseased lung compartments on the overall lung performance. In addition, the diseased lung compartments may be temporarily isolated and the measurement tests performed to determine the affect of the isolation on overall lung performance. As a result, the most beneficial treatment options may be selected. | 08-21-2008 |
20110087122 | MINIMALLY INVASIVE DETERMINATION OF COLLATERAL VENTILATION IN LUNGS - Minimally invasive methods, systems and devices are provided for qualitatively and quantitatively assessing collateral ventilation in the lungs. In particular, collateral ventilation of a target compartment within a lung of a patient is assessed by advancement of a catheter through the tracheobronchial tree to a feeding bronchus of the target compartment. The feeding bronchus is occluded by the catheter and a variety of measurements are taken with the use of the catheter in a manner which is of low risk to the patient. Examples of such measurements include but are not limited to flow rate, volume and pressure. These measurements are used to determine the presence of collateral ventilation and to quantify such collateral ventilation. | 04-14-2011 |

20110220104 | COLLATERAL PATHWAY TREATMENT USING AGENT ENTRAINED BY ASPIRATION FLOW CURRENT - A method and system for increasing the flow resistance of collateral pathways in the lung by employing aspiration to establish an artificial convective flow current between compartments in the lung in order to entrain and deliver a clogging agent preferentially to the collateral pathways. The method may sometimes be performed after lung has been assessed for the presence of collateral pathways. | 09-15-2011 |

20100042089 | SELECTIVE LUNG TISSUE ABLATION - Medical methods and systems are provided for effecting lung volume reduction by selectively ablating segments of lung tissue. | 02-18-2010 |
20100175693 | PULMONARY OCCLUSAL STENT DELIVERY CATHETER, LOADING SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - Methods, systems and devices are provided for performing lung volume reduction in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other conditions where isolation of a lung segment or reduction of lung volume is desired. The methods are minimally invasive with instruments being introduced through the mouth (endotracheally) and rely on isolating the target lung tissue segment from other regions of the lung and occluding various lung passageways with the use of occlusal stents. The occlusal stents are delivered with the use of an occlusal stent delivery system which is loaded with the occlusal stent with the use of an occlusal stent loading system. | 07-15-2010 |

20100280538 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND KITS FOR LUNG VOLUME REDUCTION - Lung volume reduction is performed in a minimally invasive manner by isolating a lung tissue segment, optionally reducing gas flow obstructions within the segment, and aspirating the segment to cause the segment to at least partially collapse. Further optionally, external pressure may be applied on the segment to assist in complete collapse. Reduction of gas flow obstructions may be achieved in a variety of ways, including over inflation of the lung, introduction of mucolytic or dilation agents, application of vibrational energy, induction of absorption atelectasis, or the like. Optionally, diagnostic procedures on the isolated lung segment may be performed, typically using the same isolation/access catheter. | 11-04-2010 |

20120204699 | Power Tool having an Interchangeable Blade Assembly and Method for Interchanging the Blade Assembly - A power tool includes a housing, a blade assembly, a drive assembly within the housing for driving the blade assembly, and a cover that is coupled to the power tool and is movable between at least two positions. The blade assembly is fixedly retained by the power tool when the cover is in a first position and is detachable from the power tool when the cover is in a second position. The cover has tool-less means for coupling the blade assembly to the cover when the cover is in a second position. | 08-16-2012 |
