  • Patent number: 10583272
    Abstract: Catheter shaft handles and deflection actuators are disclosed. The actuators include at least one pull wire guide wall and a means for anchoring the proximal portion of a pull wire or of a fiber attached to a pull wire. Each actuator is pivotable relative to the catheter handle housing, and may comprise at least one boss for pivoting the actuator relative to the catheter handle housing. The actuators transfer rotational motion based upon user input on a boss into longitudinal motion of a pull wire. The actuators may include a tensioning mechanism comprising a tension adjustment pin and a pin block, wherein the tension adjustment pin is rotatably attached to the pin block to enable adjustment of tension in a pull wire (e.g., during assembly of the catheter handle).

  • Patent number: 10140005
    Abstract: An apparatus having at least one processor and at least one memory, the apparatus configured to display a first element associated with content, the memory having computer-readable code stored therein which when executed causes the at least one processor to cause a plurality of second elements to be displayed in response to an input, wherein each second element is associated with a part of the content associated with the first element. The code, when executed may further cause editing of one or more of the second elements in response to an action in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, wherein said action comprises a sliding input.
