Patent number: 8771203Abstract: An apparatus for deploying a needle within a lumen is provided. The apparatus includes a housing having a threaded bushing radially disposed therein. The bushing rigidly couples with a nose cone having a guide tip disposed at an end opposite the bushing for penetrating an arterial wall of a lumen. During operation, a user incrementally advances the bushing within the housing, thereby incrementally advancing the guide tip into the lumen. The nose cone also includes a flex guide having a slot configuration which couples with the guide tip which deploys into the lumen along with the guide tip.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Jimmy Jen, Robert George, Jeff Dolin, Amelia Lasser

Patent number: 6254105Abstract: A sealing system for an acoustic touchscreen includes an elongate gel body between the touchscreen and the bezel of a housing onto which the touchscreen is mounted. The elongate gel body forms a seal around the perimeter of the touch-sensitive area of the touchscreen. A stop element controls and limits the amount of compression of the elongate gel body. The resulting seal is highly effective in protecting the unexposed parts of the touchscreen (i.e., areas other than the touch-sensitive area) from contaminants, especially liquid contaminants, at the cost of an acceptably low loss in acoustic signal strength.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1999Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Assignee: Elo TouchSystems, Inc.Inventors: James A. Rinde, Barry C. Mathews, Miguel A. Morales, Joel C. Kent, Drew John Loucks, John Seymour Mattis, Jeff Dolin, Mark W. Ellsworth, Frank Wasilewski
