Abstract: A method of deploying a multibranch stent graft at a target site having a main lumen and a first branch lumen is provided. The method includes advancing a catheter including a main body having a first portion and a second portion, the main body defining a first portal being pre-cannulated with a first guide member, partially deploying the first portion of the main body, advancing a first sheath along the first guide member through the first portal, advancing a first articulatable wire through the first sheath, positioning the first articulatable wire into a first branch lumen of the target site, partially deploying the second portion of the main body, fully deploying the first portion and the second portion of the main body, advancing a first side branch body along the first articulatable wire into the first branch lumen, and deploying the first side branch body in the first branch lumen.

Abstract: A configurable light is built around a central gimbal ring which is attached to a support arm. A bezel ring may be used to attach a variety of light beam altering devices to the front of the gimbal ring. The light source is mounted to the opposite side of the gimbal ring.

Abstract: A lighting fixture having a fixture housing, a transformer housing, and a locking means is suitable for installation in non-accessible areas. The transformer housing includes a first stop and second stop, and is pivotally engaged with an access aperture that is part of the fixture housing. The locking means serves to prevent pivotal movement of the transformer housing in relation to the access aperture. The lighting fixture may also have a fixture housing, a transformer recess, and a locking means. In this embodiment, the fixture housing includes an inner stop with which a transformer is pivotally engaged, and the transformer is retained in the recess by the locking means. The lighting fixture also includes a trim assembly.

Abstract: A post-installation adjustable lighting fixture comprises an eyeball captured between a flange and retention means which are rotatably coupled so that the eyeball is swivelably received by the flange and retention means. The eyeball is constructed so that it can be removably attached to an open-ended adjusting tool which provides easy adjustment of the eyeball position after the fixture is installed on a mounting surface. The tool may be left in place to act as a glare reduction device, baffle, or projection device. The tool may alternatively be separated from the eyeball to provide a conventional appearance for the fixture.

Abstract: A cold coupling apparatus for receiving light from a source of illumination and transmission to the ends of one or more light-guiding fibers comprises a coupler body having one or more lenses are typically disposed within the coupler body; a compression fitting is engaged with the retention means; a collet is typically disposed within the compression fitting, as are one or more ferrules, and one or more rods, or a slug. The coupler body may be actively cooled, or may have heat sink fins attached to its exterior. A method of cooling a plurality of light-guiding fibers comprises the steps of inserting a plurality of fibers and a corresponding plurality of ferrules, along with a plurality of rods, into a thermally conductive coupler body. Each ferrule is placed over the end of a corresponding fiber, so as to expose the fiber end, and partially cover the fiber jacket. The ferrules are also placed in physical contact with the rods, which are in parallel alignment with the longitudinal axes of the fibers.

Abstract: A cold coupling apparatus for receiving light from a source of illumination and transmission to the ends of one or more light-guiding fibers comprises a coupler body having an exit bore, an inner bore, an entry bore, and body threads, the exit bore and inner bore intersecting to form a lens shelf, and the entry bore and inner bore intersecting to form a fiber shelf; one or more lenses disposed within the exit bore and proximate to the lens shelf; a compression fitting threadedly engaged with the body threads; a collet disposed within the compression fitting; and one or more ferrules, each of the ferrules disposed within the entry bore and proximate to the fiber shelf. A bushing may also be disposed within the compression fitting, and the lenses may be coated to reflect infrared and/or ultraviolet radiation. The coupler body may be actively cooled, or may have heat sink fins attached to its exterior.

Abstract: A modular weather-resistant fiber optic lighting fixture comprises a support tube having a support inner bore for receiving a fiber optic light guide, a lens bore, support threads, and a support head with an encircling support ring; a lens disposed within the lens bore; a hood having a hood inner bore in frictional engagement with the support ring; at least one effect element disposed within the hood inner bore; and a compression assembly comprising a compression ring, a compression collet, and a compression fitting, the compression fitting, ring, and collet formed for receiving the fiber optic light guide, and the compression fitting providing threaded engagement with the support threads. The fixture may also comprise several different fittings for recessed mounting in flat surfaces, or mounting to curved surfaces or stakes.
