Filed:

Nov 10, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/270230

Inventors:

Paul Tran - Santa Ana CA, US
William H. Smedley - Kingman AZ, US

International Classification:

B62D 33/03

US Classification:

2961801, 296 571, 2961805

Abstract:

An airflow control tailgate to be substituted for the original solid tailgate that is typically found at the rear of the body of a pick-up truck to enclose the flat bed thereof. The tailgate includes a plurality of motor controlled panels that are rotated on a respective plurality of pivot rods between a closed orientation in side-by-side alignment with one another to an open orientation in spaced, parallel alignment with one another by which to control the stream of air rushing over the cab and across the bed when the truck is in motion. A motor is coupled to the pivot rods by way of a clutch assembly and a gear rack, such that a rotation of the motor causes a linear displacement of the gear rack and a corresponding rotation of the pivot rods for rotating the panels between the closed and open orientations. One of the pivot rods carries a blocking dog which is rotated with the pivot rod relative to a blocking tab that projects from a handle in order to engage the blocking tab and thereby prevent the handle from being manipulated so that the tailgate cannot be rotated from the raised position to the lowered position when the panels are in the open orientation.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Mario A. Solis - Rancho Cucamonga CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/042
A61B 5/00
A61B 18/14

Abstract:

A catheter with basket-shaped electrode assembly with spines configured for hyper-flexing in a predetermined, predictable manner when a compressive force acts on the assembly from either its distal end or its proximal end. At least one spine has at least one region of greater (or hyper) flexibility that allows the electrode assembly to deform, for example, compress, for absorbing and dampening excessive force that may otherwise cause damage or injury to tissue wall in contact with the assembly, without compromising the structure and stiffness of the remaining regions of the spine, including its distal and proximal regions. The one or more regions of greater flexibility in the spine allow the spine to flex into a generally V-shape configuration or a generally U-shape configuration.

Appl. No.:

15/070213

Inventors:

- Yokneam, IL
Paul Tran - San Gabriel CA, US
Mario A. Solis - Rancho Cucamonga CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A61M 25/01
A61B 5/042

Abstract:

This disclosure is directed to a catheter having an asymmetric basket-shaped electrode assembly at the distal end of the catheter body formed from a plurality of spines with electrodes. The plurality of spines are radially distributed across a first circumferential portion. One or more counter spines are radially distributed across a remaining second circumferential portion. Diagnostic electrodes are arrayed across the spines, while the counter spines may have one or more reference electrodes.
