Filed:

Jul 8, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/861082

Inventors:

- Atherton CA, US
William Jason FOX - San Mateo CA, US
Mojgan SAADAT - Atherton CA, US
Mahyar Z. KERMANI - San Ramon CA, US
Michael PARE - Atherton CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/22
A61B 17/3207

Abstract:

Apparatuses and methods for distinguishing a blood clot from a vessel wall. These methods and apparatuses may include an aspiration opening into a suction lumen, an aspiration opening sensor(s) positioned at a rim of the aspiration opening, and a controller that interprets signals from the aspiration opening sensor(s) to determine when the aspiration opening is contacting a clot material or a vessel when a force is applied.

International Classification:

A61M 25/01

Abstract:

Described here are methods and apparatuses for tracking a clot material within a lumen of a suction catheter. For example, an apparatus as described herein may include a flexible elongate body having a suction lumen, a first pair of electrodes within the suction lumen, a second pair of electrodes proximal to the first pair of electrodes, and a controller configured to track a clot material within the suction lumen based on signals from the first pair of electrodes and the second pair of electrodes.

International Classification:

A61N 1/378
A61N 1/372

Abstract:

Method and systems for optimizing acoustic energy transmission in implantable devices are disclosed. Transducer elements transmit acoustic locator signals towards a receiver assembly, and the receiver responds with a location signal. The location signal can reveal information related to the location of the receiver and the efficiency of the transmitted acoustic beam received by the receiver. This information enables the transmitter to target the receiver and optimize the acoustic energy transfer between the transmitter and the receiver. The energy can be used for therapeutic purposes, for example, stimulating tissue or for diagnostic purposes.

International Classification:

H04R 25/00

Abstract:

A bone conduction device includes: a case; a vibrating body disposed in the case; and a first weight held by the vibrating body vibrating body. The vibrating body includes a support portion supported by the case and a first holding portion that holds the first weight. A center of mass of the first weight is located outside a first normal region of the vibrating body in the first holding portion.
