Publication number: 20240148305Abstract: A delivery device for delivering a pacing lead to the His bundle of a patient's heart includes an elongated sheath having a distal end, and a plurality of mapping electrodes positioned at the distal end. The distal end of the sheath may have a distal tip, and the mapping electrodes may include two electrodes that diametrically oppose one another at a position spaced from the distal tip of the sheath. The sheath includes a plurality of flexible sections spaced apart from one another, and a pull wire that causes the sheath to deflect from a straight configuration to a dual hinged curved configuration that positions the electrodes in the vicinity of the bundle of His.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Scott A.

Patent number: 11923645Abstract: A power receptacle assembly includes a power supply cradle, a circuit subassembly, and a housing. The power supply cradle has a base member and two sidewalls. The base member and sidewalls of the power supply cradle are configured to include one or more protrusions. The circuit subassembly includes a base plate and at least one low voltage power output receptacle electrically connected to the base plate. The base plate is secured to the power supply cradle by the one or more protrusions. With the base plate secured to the power supply cradle, the power supply cradle is arranged within the at least one cavity of the housing, such that base plate of the low voltage power supply circuit subassembly does not directly contact any of the inner surface that forms the at least one cavity of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Light Corp.

Patent number: 11275868Abstract: An improved waveguide is disclosed. The waveguide utilizes a luminescent material disposed within or around its perimeter to introduce additional light into the waveguide. For example, the waveguide may include a plurality of planar layers having different refractive indexes. A luminescent material may be disposed along the outer edge of these layers. When light from within the waveguide strikes the luminescent material, it emits light, thereby adding to the light in the waveguide. Not only does the luminescent material introduce more light into the waveguide, it also introduces more light sources, thereby making it more difficult to introduce a probe without blocking at least a portion of the light destined for the image sensor. The luminescent material may be a phosphor.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Michael W. Geis, Joshua Kramer, Karen M. G. V. Gettings, Marc J. Burke, Mankuan M. Vai, Theodore M. Lyszczarz
