Abstract: An apparatus includes a handle, a catheter, extending distally from the handle, an end effector extending distally from the catheter, a deflection assembly, and a load limiting assembly. The deflection assembly is configured to deflect the end effector away from a longitudinal axis of the catheter. The deflection assembly includes an input member and a translating assembly. The input member is configured to drive the translating assembly to deflect the end effector away from the longitudinal axis. The load limiting assembly is configured to decouple the input member from the translating assembly at a predetermined load such that the input member is inhibited from driving the translating assembly when the input member is decoupled by the load limiting assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a catheter having a flexible outer sheath and a flexible irrigation tube. The flexible outer sheath defines a first lumen. The flexible irrigation tube is positioned inside the first lumen and includes an inner layer and an outer coating layer. The inner layer is formed of a synthetic polymer compound and has a uniform cross-section with a hollow interior defining a second lumen. The outer coating layer is disposed around the inner layer. The outer coating layer is formed of a polymeric compound and includes first and second isomers. The first isomer is configured to carry a positive electric charge and the second isomer is configured to carry a negative electric charge.

Abstract: A fragrance dispensing system for an aircraft that includes a fuselage defining a cabin interior and an environmental control system (ECS). The ECS includes a source of air that moves air between the source of air and the cabin interior along an airflow path, a mixer unit in airflow communication with the source of air and positioned downstream from the source of air in the airflow path, at least a first air duct positioned in the airflow path between the mixer unit and the cabin interior, and a fragrance dispensing unit positioned between the air source and the cabin interior along the airflow path. The fragrance dispensing unit is configured to dispense at least a first fragrance into the airflow path.

Abstract: A scent delivery assembly that includes a main body portion that defines an interior and includes at least one intake opening and at least one outlet opening, an airflow path that is defined between the intake opening and the outlet opening, a fan positioned along the airflow path, and at least a first cartridge positioned along the airflow path. The first cartridge includes a first cover that is movable between a closed position and an open position and a scent assembly. The scent assembly is not in flow communication with the airflow path when the first cover is in the closed position, and the scent assembly is in flow communication with the airflow path when the first cover is in the open position.
