  • Publication number: 20240389869
    Abstract: Embodiments herein are directed to a measurement device. The measurement device includes a processing device, a catheter, and a tip portion. The tip portion is disposed at a distal end of the catheter. The tip portion receives the distal end of the catheter. A diaphragm film assembly is coupled to the tip portion at an opposite end that receives the distal end of the catheter. The diaphragm film assembly is configured to flexibly move between a plurality of positions based on an applied pressure that displaces the diaphragm film assembly. A sensor assembly communicatively coupled to the processing device, the sensor assembly is configured to measure the applied pressure displacing the diaphragm film assembly and the processing device determines a concentration of ammonia currently in a fluid at the tip portion.

  • Publication number: 20240380861
    Abstract: In one example, a remote tuner module includes: a first tuner to receive, process and demodulate a first radio frequency (RF) signal to output an analog audio signal, and to receive and process a second RF signal to output a first downconverted modulated signal; a second tuner to receive and process the second RF signal to output a second downconverted modulated signal; a demodulator circuit coupled to the first and second tuners to demodulate and link the first and second modulated signals, to output a linked demodulated signal. The remote tuner module may further include a gateway circuit coupled to at least the demodulator circuit to output the analog audio signal and the linked demodulated signal.

  • Publication number: 20240325108
    Abstract: A tissue marker is provided having a permanent portion and a biodegradable portion. The permanent portion includes a material detectable by an imaging modality. The biodegradable portion surrounds the permanent portion. The biodegradable portion includes a polymer body, a coating, and a plurality of distinct structures dispersed in the polymer body. The coating covers an outer surface of the polymer body. Each of the distinct structures include an outer shell designed to open upon the application of focused ultrasound to release a therapeutic agent within the outer shell into the polymer body. Therapeutic agents may be introduced into the biodegradable portion of the tissue marker after a period of time after introduction of the tissue marker into the tissue. In addition, methods of fabricating a three-layer tissue marker are provided.

  • Patent number: 8188926
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for folded antenna structures that allow for receive and/or transmit antennas to be used for portable or other devices. The folded antennas described herein can be configured, for example, to fit the design constraints and considerations for portable devices. The folded antenna structures can be implemented using relatively flat flexible printed circuits (e.g., flex circuits) and can be placed in available spaces within the portable device, such as above or behind a battery, while still providing good performance characteristics. Still further, the folded antenna structures can be implemented on a printed circuit board and/or as part of plastic materials and pieces included as part of a portable device.
