  • Publication number: 20240157120
    Abstract: A device for vacuum-assisted in vivo delivery of an agent into cells of tissue includes a housing that defines a chamber and at least one opening into the chamber. A port extends through the housing, is remote from the at least one opening, and is connectable to a vacuum source. The port is configured to communicate vacuum pressure from the vacuum source to the chamber for drawing tissue through the opening and into the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20240091513
    Abstract: Techniques for treating subjects with an injected agent include applying vacuum pressure to tissue adjacent the injection and optionally electroporating said tissue. A device for applying such treatment includes a housing defining a receptacle and an opening into the receptacle. A port extends through the housing remote from the opening and is connectable to a vacuum source, such that the port can communicate vacuum pressure from the vacuum source to the receptacle. The device includes an insert that is receivable within the receptacle and that defines an internal chamber, which is in communication with the vacuum source when the insert resides in the receptacle. The insert includes at least one electrode positioned within the chamber and configured to deliver one or more electroporation pulses to a targeted portion of tissue extending through the at least one opening and at least momentarily held in the chamber responsive to the vacuum pressure.

  • Patent number: 9117007
    Abstract: A system facilitates dynamic data visualizations. The system includes an analysis component that periodically processes one or more incoming data streams to determine a visualization form from a plurality of visualization forms. A visualization component dynamically generates the visualization form based in part on the processing of the incoming data streams.

  • Patent number: 9004646
    Abstract: A rotary inkjet imaging apparatus includes a curved print zone having a longitudinal axis and in which a page of media is held in a curved configuration at a stationary position, a carrier movable bi-directionally along a linear path defined adjacent to the curved print zone and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof, and at least one inkjet printhead supported by the carrier for undergoing movement within the curved print zone along a curved path winding about a central axis extending parallel to the guide path and coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the curved print zone such that the inkjet printhead moves about the central axis multiple revolutions and prints on the page concurrently as the carrier unidirectionally moves along the linear path and the printhead moves within the curved print zone and through portions of the curved path in which the printhead faces toward the page.

  • Patent number: 8162438
    Abstract: A rotary inkjet imaging apparatus includes a carrier movable bi-directionally along a linear guide path defined adjacent to a curved print zone and extending parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof, and an inkjet printhead disc having a body and at least one and preferably multiple printhead chips integrated into its perimeter. The disc body is supported by the carrier for undergoing movement within the curved print zone along a curved path winding about a central axis extending parallel to the guide path and coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the curved print zone such that the disc body moves about the central axis multiple revolutions and the printhead chips print on the page concurrently as the carrier unidirectionally moves along the linear guide path and the disc body moves within the curved print zone and through portions of the curved path in which the chips face toward the page.
