  • Publication number: 20260001178
    Abstract: A trolley assembly includes a first trolley. The first trolley includes a first assembly including a first positioning system. The first positioning system includes a first housing and a first rotatable element. The first trolley also includes a second assembly separate from the first assembly and removably coupled with the first assembly via a drilling mast. The second assembly includes a second positioning system. The second positioning system includes a second housing and a second rotatable element. The first trolley further includes an actuation device disposed in at least one of the first positioning system and the second positioning system. Upon operation of the actuation device, the actuation device rotates the drilling mast relative to each of the first housing of the first positioning system and the second housing of the second positioning system to dispose the drilling mast at a plurality of work positions.

  • Patent number: 11007284
    Abstract: Acoustically responsive stabilized microbubbles formulated with a phospholipid monolayer shell, an encapsulated bioactive gas, and an encapsulated perfluorocarbon gas of the formula CxFy in a volume ratio of from about 10:1 to about 1:10, wherein X is greater than or equal to 3, are disclosed. Also provided are methods for promoting localized vasodilation in a patient in need thereof by delivering a microbubble comprising a phospholipid monolayer shell and an encapsulated bioactive gas locally to a target diseased section of the patient's vasculature; and releasing the bioactive gas at the target diseased section, wherein the microbubble comprises the bioactive gas in a ratio of from about 10:1 to about 1:10 by volume with a perfluorocarbon gas.
