Patent number: 11145947Abstract: RF and microwave radiation directing or controlling components are provided that may be monolithic, that may be formed from a plurality of electrodeposition operations and/or from a plurality of deposited layers of material, that may include switches, inductors, antennae, transmission lines, filters, hybrid couplers, antenna arrays and/or other active or passive components. Components may include non-radiation-entry and non-radiation-exit channels that are useful in separating sacrificial materials from structural materials. Preferred formation processes use electrochemical fabrication techniques (e.g. including selective depositions, bulk depositions, etching operations and planarization operations) and post-deposition processes (e.g. selective etching operations and/or back filling operations).Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Microfabrica Inc.Inventors: Elliott R.

Publication number: 20150057650Abstract: The device for inducing rapid blood coagulation comprises an enclosure, a fan within the enclosure, a heater within the enclosure, and a light source within the enclosure. The fan draws air into the enclosure past the heater and past the light source. The light source sterilizes the airstream while the heater heats the airstream to a temperature suitable for inducing blood coagulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Inventor: Morton Grosser

Patent number: 8348940Abstract: Large tissue regions are treated using pairs of electrode arrays. The electrode arrays may be concave and disposed in tissue so that their concave portions are opposed to each other. Axial conductors may be provided extending from the arrays and toward each other in order to increase the heating of tissues lying along the axis between the deployed electrode arrays. By properly spacing the electrode arrays apart and selecting the diameters of the arrays, desired volumes of tissue may be treated, typically with a bipolar, radiofrequency current.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Robert S. Behl, Morton Grosser, Alexander L. Huang
