International Classification:

A61M 29/00

US Classification:

606200

Abstract:

A system for delivering an implant device to a vascular site in a patient a delivery pusher apparatus, an implant device detachably connected to the delivery pusher apparatus by a tether having a distal end connected to a proximal end of the implant device, wherein the tether is substantially non-tensioned when connecting the implant device to the delivery pusher, and an electrical heating element configured coaxially around at least a portion of the tether, wherein heat generated by the heating element severs the tether at a point near the proximal end of the implant device.

International Classification:

H01M 1044
H01M 1046

US Classification:

320 21

Abstract:

An automatic photovoltaic controller provides a fixed frequency, pulse width modulated charging current to charge and regulate a battery, the duty cycle of the charging current being controlled by the difference between the sensed battery voltage and a desired regulated voltage. Modulation is achieved by controlling the on and off states of plural parallel-connected FET switches placed in series between the photovoltaic array and the battery. The duty cycle is adjustable in discrete steps over the entire range of 0% to 100% and is updated numerous times per second with new battery voltage measurements to provide highly accurate regulation. The charge current pulse rise time is selected to match the response time of the photovoltaic array. The fixed frequency of the charge current is within the preferred range of 100 Hz to 600 Hz to provide sufficient time for the chemical reaction within the battery cells to be substantially completed between charge pulses during the regulation mode. Automatic protection of the controller and the load is achieved by rapidly disconnecting the battery and/or load in response to specified conditions.

International Classification:

A61B 34/20
A61B 5/06
A61B 18/14

Abstract:

Provided herein are systems and methods for performing localization within a patient. A method of localization within a body comprises providing at least one processor coupled to at least one data storage device, establishing and calibrating a localization coordinate system within a body by executing a first localization mode by the at least one processor, recalibrating the localization coordinate system by executing a second localization mode by the at least one processor, and localizing a device within the localization coordinate system using the first localization mode and the second localization mode, by the at least one processor. The first localization mode can be an impedance-based localization mode and the second localization mode can be magnetic-based localization mode, or vice versa.

International Classification:

B01L 7/00

Abstract:

In one aspect, a thermal cycler system is disclosed. The thermal cycler can be comprised of a device housing and a cover that is operably connected to the device housing. The cover can include a handle portion, a device lid portion, a sample block platen and a link bar. The device lid portion is attached to the proximal side of the handle portion with a pin. The sample block platen is operably connected to the handle portion such that the sample block platen is positioned against the sample block when the handle portion is flush with the device lid portion and the cover is in a closed position. The link bar is operably connected to the device housing and the pin such that a distal side of the handle portion is elevated away from the device lid portion when the cover is moved to an open position.
