607125, 607 5, 607122

Abstract:

A coronary sinus catheter includes a distal electrode portion with optimally-spaced and sized ring electrodes and a proximal electrode portion with at least one optimally-spaced and sized larger surface electrode. The catheter has all or some of the following features. First, at least one ring electrode of the distal electrode portion includes a first diameter less than a second diameter of at least one, more proximally disposed, ring electrode of the distal electrode portion. Second, at least one ring electrode of the distal electrode portion includes a first width less than a second width of at least one, more proximally disposed, ring electrode of the distal electrode portion. Third, the distal electrode portion includes at least two ring electrodes and the proximal shock electrode includes at least two larger surface coil electrodes. Fourth, the catheter further includes a collapsible section, adjacent the proximal electrode portion, to facilitate positioning of the catheter within the right atrium.

International Classification:

A61B 2900

US Classification:

606194, 60410101

Abstract:

A splittable occlusion balloon sheath includes a splittable sheath onto which an occlusion balloon has been secured near the distal end of the splittable sheath. A splittable hemostasis valve or a partitioned hemostasis valve system may also be secured within or to the splittable occlusion balloon sheath. This splittable occlusion balloon sheath is utilized to introduce a medical device, such as electrode leads, into the coronary sinus of the human heart. A dilator may also be used with the splittable occlusion balloon sheath for introduction of the medical devices. The splittable occlusion balloon sheath and/or the dilator may be precurved with a particular shape to assist in the introduction of the splittable occlusion balloon sheath and/or dilator into the coronary sinus. Also disclosed is a process of use of the splittable occlusion balloon system within the coronary sinus.

International Classification:

G01R 21/28

US Classification:

702119

Abstract:

A method and system for verifying an embedded module of a mobile vehicle. The method includes the steps of providing a validation test plan including a plurality of test keywords indexed to a requirement in a spread sheet format, receiving a validation test plan request including at least one requirement, determining the test keywords of the validation test plan based on the requirement according to a test keyword definition, and sending the test keywords from a call center to the embedded module based on correspondence between the requirement and test keywords. A computer usable medium with suitable computer program code is employed for verifying an embedded module of a mobile vehicle.

International Classification:

B29C 33/40
B29C 45/00

US Classification:

264219000, 264328100

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for making a prototype plastic injection molded part from a mold tool () built by fused deposition modeling. The mold too ()l is built by depositing roads of a molten thermoplastic resin in layers in a predetermined pattern defined by computer file data representing the inverse of the desired prototype molded part, and is used in an injection molding machine without the addition of any reinforcement fill material or layers to create the prototype part. The disclosed method provides prototype plastic injection molded parts within a twenty-four hour time period.

International Classification:

A61B 34/20
A61N 1/05

Abstract:

A system for differential recording connectable to an electrical lead with at least two electrodes, including:the lead having a distal end;at least one amplifier electrically connectable to the at least two electrodes, wherein the at least one amplifier subtracts a signal recorded by one of the at least two electrodes, from a signal recorded by the other one of the at least two electrodes to generate a differential signal;a memory configured for storing said differential signal and reference indications of electrical signals associated with neural tissue;a processing circuitry for detection of an anatomical position, wherein the processing circuitry calculates an anatomical position of the electrical lead based on processing of the differential signal and the reference indications of electrical signals associated with the neural tissue.

Abstract:

An extravascular nerve cuff that is configured to hold a leadless, integral, implantable micro stimulator. The nerve cuff may include a cuff body having a pocket or pouch for removably receiving the implantable device within. The nerve cuff can be secured around the nerve such that the electrodes of the device are stably positioned relative to the nerve. Furthermore, the nerve cuff drives the majority of the current from the stimulation device into the nerve, while shielding surrounding tissues from unwanted stimulation.
