Publication number: 20150367098Abstract: A catheter or sheath includes an inner layer made of a relatively hard material, an intermediate layer formed of a strengthening member and being provided with interstitial material in the spaces between the elements of the strengthening member. Overlying the intermediate layer is an outer layer of, for example, polyamide. The interstitial material is relatively soft, which allows the catheter to be bent to smaller radii of curvature than prior art catheters with reduced risk of kinking.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Applicant: COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Steen Aggerholm, David Drewes, Thomas A.

Patent number: 8707281Abstract: One or more computer-readable media store executable instructions that, when executed by processing logic, perform parallel processing. The media store one or more instructions for initiating a single programming language, and identifying, via the single programming language, one or more data distribution schemes for executing a program. The media also store one or more instructions for transforming, via the single programming language, the program into a parallel program with an optimum data distribution scheme selected from the one or more identified data distribution schemes, and allocating the parallel program to two or more labs for parallel execution. The media further store one or more instructions for receiving one or more results associated with the parallel execution of the parallel program from the two or more labs, and providing the one or more results to the program.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Piotr R.

Patent number: 7553400Abstract: A plating method is capable of mechanically and electrochemically preferentially depositing a plated film in fine interconnect recesses such as trenches and via holes, and depositing the plated film to a flatter surface. The plating method including: disposing a substrate having fine interconnect recesses such that a conductive layer faces an anode; disposing a porous member between the substrate and the anode; filling a plating solution between the substrate and the anode; and repeating a process of holding the conductive layer and the porous member in contact with each other and moving the conductive layer and the porous member relatively to each other, a process of passing an electric current between the conductive layer and the anode while keeping the conductive layer still with respect to the porous member, and a process of stopping the supply of the electric current between the conductive layer and the anode.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2004Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignees: Ebara Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM)Inventors: Mizuki Nagai, Hiroyuki Kanda, Keiichi Kurashina, Satoru Yamamoto, Ryoichi Kimizuka, Hariklia Deligianni, Brett Baker, Keith Kwietniak, Panayotis Andricacos, Phillipe Vereecken
