Appl. No.:

09/966773

Inventors:

Gregory M. Ayers - Los Altos CA 94024
Scott M. Evans - Santa Ana CA 92705

International Classification:

A61F 700

US Classification:

607105, 607106

Abstract:

A drainage tube for controlling a patients temperature and draining fluids from a patients chest or other body cavity includes a generally tubular elongate body having one or more drainage lumens with one or more drainage ports disposed along the distal portion of the drainage tube. The drainage tube also comprises one or more flow lumens for transporting a heat exchange fluid to one or more heat exchange elements that exchange heat with tissue in the patients chest or other body cavity. The drainage tube may have an internal heating element that heats or cools the heat exchange fluid. A heat exchange element may include an everting balloon that expands out of a cavity in the elongate body after intubation of the drainage tube. The expansion of the everting balloon may be assisted with a moveable inner shaft disposed in the elongate body.

International Classification:

G06F017/50

US Classification:

716 1, 716 2, 716 12, 716 16

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for optimizing distributed multiplexed bus interconnects are described. The multiplexed bus interconnect contains one or more multiplexers to route signals through the bus interconnect. An amount of signaling wiring present within a distributed multiplexed bus interconnect is optimized by eliminating individual signaling wires based upon whether an Intellectual Property core connected to the multiplexed bus interconnect transmits or receives signals from the distributed multiplexed bus interconnect.

International Classification:

G06F 11/30

US Classification:

702182, 702 57, 702 87

Abstract:

The present invention includes a method and apparatus for decomposing and verifying configurable hardware. In one embodiment, the method includes automatically decomposing a set of one or more units at a first level of a configurable hardware system design hierarchy into a set of two or more units of a lower level of the hardware system design hierarchy. The set of one or more units at a first level includes one or more units dynamically instantiated at design creation time as well as at least a first unit composed of a previously instantiated hardware system composed with two or more levels of units within the hardware system design hierarchy of the previously instantiated hardware system.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

716 2, 716 6

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for optimizing distributed multiplexed bus interconnects are described. Parameters of components that make up a distributed multiplexed bus interconnect may be optimized, such as an amount of area on a chip occupied by the component, an amount of power consumed by the component, etc. , while satisfying existing timing constraints between nodes of a distributed multiplexed bus interconnect.

International Classification:

A61F 7/12
A61M 5/44
A61M 1/00

US Classification:

604 28, 607106, 604508

Abstract:

A kit of parts comprises a system and instructions for use for controlling patient temperature which uses a central venous line catheter having a heat exchange element. The central venous line catheter is provided with one or more lumens for providing access to the central blood supply of the patient, and with additional lumens for communicating heat exchange fluid to the heat exchange element. Heat exchange fluid temperature is controlled through a feed back loop in which patient temperature is sensed and used to control a temperature control unit comprising a heating device and/or a cooling device in heat exchange relationship with the heat exchange fluid. A tubing set transports the heat exchange fluid between the central venous line and the temperature control unit, with a pump serving to circulate the fluid in a closed fluid circuit in the system.

International Classification:

A61F 7/12
A61M 5/44

US Classification:

604113, 607106

Abstract:

A catheter is adapted to exchange heat with a body fluid, such as blood, flowing in a body conduit, such as a blood vessel. The catheter includes a shaft with a heat exchange region disposed at its distal end. This region may include hollow fibers which are adapted to receive a remotely cooled heat exchange fluid preferably flowing in a direction counter to that of the body fluid. The hollow fibers enhance the surface area of contact, as well as the mixing of both the heat exchange fluid and the body fluid. The catheter can be positioned to produce hypothermia in a selective area of the body or alternatively positioned to systemically cool the entire body system.
