Abstract: A drive assembly for driving an imaging catheter has a rotatable fiber and a rotatable drive shaft. The drive assembly includes a fiber optic rotating junction and a motor configured to rotate the rotatable portion of the fiber optic rotating junction. In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a sensor configured to detect a rotational position of the fiber optic rotating junction and a processor configured to obtain the detected rotational position and stop the motor only when the fiber optic rotating junction is in a predetermined rotational position. In some embodiments, the motor includes a hollow shaft through which at least a portion of the fiber optic rotating junction extends.

Abstract: Electrical ventricular depolarization may be represented by its vectorcardiographic QRS loop, which exists in 3D space. By recognizing that the QRS loop is often a closed trajectory on a plane (2D), it is possible to change (e.g., by rotation, projection, etc.) the single-channel QRS into a different view angle along that plane to provide a viewpoint more favorable for morphologic interpretation. Any monophasic or biphasic single-channel QRS (time series) waveform can be decomposed into the form x(?,t)=sin(?t)u(t), with t spanning [0,2?], where u(t) is an unchanging intrinsic component that is generally upright and monophasic, and where sin(?t) is a changeable component of the waveform. This way, x(?,t) may be changed by replacing a parameter of the original changeable component sin(?t) with a second parameter associated with a target view of the waveform, such as the upright monophasic sin(0.5t). Meanwhile the intrinsic component remains unchanged during this change.

Abstract: A method of deploying a prosthesis includes engaging a hub assembly of a handle to a threaded outer surface of a slide shaft of the handle; rotating the hub assembly to cause axial translation of the hub assembly and a sheath coupled to the hub assembly to initiate deployment of the prosthesis; disengaging the hub assembly from the threaded outer surface by pivoting a thread tooth of the hub assembly out of threaded engagement with the threaded outer surface; and sliding the hub assembly on the slide shaft to further retract the sheath and complete deployment of the prosthesis.

Abstract: A spigot device for a liquid container includes a single-piece molded conduit confining a primary passage and a channel which are surrounded by an outer surrounding wall and which are not communicated with each other within the conduit. An intake end of each of the primary passage and the channel is in fluid communication with a bottom outlet of the container. An exit end of the primary passage is in fluid communication with a fluid passage in which a valve body is disposed to control flow of liquid from the container into a spout. An upright branch tube is in fluid communication with the channel to permit the liquid in the container to flow into the branch tube so that the level of the liquid in the container can be monitored by observing the level of the liquid in the branch tube.
