Patent number: 9345485Abstract: An implantable flow connector for fluidically coupling a source tissue-enclosed body space with a destination element, comprising: a conduit having a lumen terminating at an orifice at a first end of the conduit implantable in the source body space through an opening formed in a tissue wall of the source body space, and a second end of the conduit implantable in the destination element through an opening in a surface of the destination element; and a circumferential flange, radially extending from the conduit proximate the conduit first end, configured to be implanted in the source body space adjacent an opening in the tissue wall of the source body space such that the conduit extends through the opening, the flange comprising one or more circumferentially adjacent sections at least one of which has a rigidity that decreases in a radially-increasing direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2015Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Bioconnect Systems, Inc.Inventors: Adam Dakin, Michael Dugery, Todd Polk, Richard Briganti, Michael Paris, Nicholas Gately, Zaw Win

Patent number: 5021680Abstract: A single, relatively simple, circuit which provides programming supply voltages for the programming circuits of a typical PAL type programmable logic array with minimal die size requirements. The invention includes a voltage charge pump circuit for providing a first voltage on a first output bus in response to a first supply voltage and an input pulse. The first output voltage provided on the first output bus is greater than the first supply voltage. The invention further includes a first circuit for switching the first supply voltage onto a second output bus in response to a first set of programming signals. A second circuit is included for switching a second supply voltage onto a second output bus in response to a second set of programming signals.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1989Date of Patent: June 4, 1991Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Vincent K.
