Assignee:

Pacesetter, Inc. - Sylmar CA

International Classification:

A61N 1/05

US Classification:

607122, 439870, 439877

Abstract:

An implantable cardiac electrotherapy lead is disclosed herein. The lead may include an electrode on a distal portion of the lead, a conductor extending proximally through the lead from the electrode, and a crimp connector coupling a distal end of the conductor to the electrode. The connector may include a body with an outer surface, an inner surface, proximal and distal ends, a cavity, and at least one splice opening. The inner surface defines the cavity, the proximal and distal ends respectively define proximal and distal openings leading to the cavity, and the at least one splice opening extends from the outer surface to the inner surface and is oriented generally transverse to an axis extending between the proximal and distal openings.

International Classification:

A61L 15/56
G01N 21/78

US Classification:

604361, 436 39

Abstract:

A personal absorbent article (e.g., feminine care pad, sanitary napkin, diaper, incontinence pad etc.) has a color change indicator that employs a synergistic combination an acid component and a basic component for signaling to a user when the absorbent article may foster bacterial growth due to moisture absorption. After a certain period of time, the user can visually inspect the color of the color change indicator to obtain an indication of when it is time to replace or remove the article.

Appl. No.:

13/861242

Inventors:

Yong Li - Valencia CA, US

International Classification:

H01R 43/01

US Classification:

29860

Abstract:

An implantable cardiac electrotherapy lead is manufactured by providing an electrode on a tubular body of the lead, forming a crimp connector from a tubing, forming at least one splice opening at the tubing, receiving and end of a cable conductor in a cavity of the crimp connector, and welding an outer surface of the crimp connector to an edge of the electrode. In a post-crimp position, proximal and distal ends of an inner surface of the tubing contact an insulation jacket of the cable conductor and a sharp edge of the at least one splice opening penetrates the insulation jacket and contacts a conductive core of the cable conductor to provide electrical communication between the crimp connector and the cable connector.

International Classification:

A61F 1315

US Classification:

604378

Abstract:

A multifunctional material is provided for use in personal care products. The multifunctional material has a permeability between 100 and 10000 Darcys and a capillary tension between about 2 and 15 cm. Structures containing this multifunctional material can have a runoff rate of less than 25 ml per 100 ml insult, over its life. The multifunctional material should have between about 30 and 75 weight percent of a slow rate superabsorbent, between 25 and 70 weight percent of pulp and from a positive amount up to about 10 percent of a binder component. The material preferably has a density between about 0. 05 and 0. 5 g/cc. The material has a liquid pass through function which desorbs a surge material across time frames consistent with user conditions and releases the liquid for distribution to remote storage locations. The material, when combined with the intake and distribution materials, defines a composite structure for use in personal care products.
