  • Publication number: 20230414221
    Abstract: A vascular occlusion catheter includes a proximal outer shaft, a distal outer shaft distally terminating with an atraumatic tip, and an occlusion balloon therebetween. The proximal shaft has first and second internal lumens, the first internal lumen being in fluid communication with the balloon. The distal shaft has a distal internal lumen. A hypotube extends through the first internal lumen, through the balloon and into communication with the distal internal lumen. A first window is formed in the proximal shaft and a proximal sensor is positioned within the second internal lumen at the window. A second window is formed in the distal shaft and a distal sensor is positioned within the distal internal lumen at the window. A display hub is positioned along the proximal shaft and electrically connected with the sensors The uninflated vascular occlusion catheter has a greatest outer diameter of seven French or less.

  • Publication number: 20210370025
    Abstract: A kit includes a catheter and a catheter securing device. The catheter has a catheter shaft. The catheter securing device includes a base surface selectively securable to an intended surface and at least one catheter aperture. The catheter shaft extends through the at least one catheter aperture, such that the catheter securing device is mounted on the catheter shaft. The catheter securing device also includes a channel for stabilizing the catheter shaft thereon and a fastener repeatedly movable between a first position and a second position, independently of securement of the base surface to the intended surface. In the first position, the fastener permits substantially free sliding of the catheter shaft through the at least one catheter aperture, and, in the second position, the fastener substantially secures the catheter shaft to the catheter securing device in a substantially non-sliding manner.

  • Publication number: 20140224803
    Abstract: A two-piece tamper-evident and tamper-resistant container having a base, a lid and a welded hinge connecting the lid and base to one another for use in packing, identifying and selling fresh food items and the like. A rim about an upper periphery of the base engages an identically contoured flange about a lower periphery of the lid, and a protective lip integral to and extending from an outermost end of the rim prevents access to the lip making the tear-strip of the hinge the only possible access point of the container. Any tampering to access the inside of the container would be made evident by a torn or missing welded hinge.

A rim about an upper periphery of the base engages an identically contoured flange about a lower periphery of the lid, and a protective lip integral to and extending from an outermost end of the rim prevents access to the lip making a pull-tab of the frangible hinge the only possible access point of the container. Any tampering to access the inside of the container would be made evident by a broken or separated hinge.

  • Publication number: 20140224824
    Abstract: A two-piece tamper-evident and tamper-resistant container having a base, a lid and a label hinge connecting the lid and base to one another for use in packing, identifying and selling fresh food items and the like. A rim about an upper periphery of the base engages an identically contoured flange about a lower periphery of the lid, and a protective lip integral to and extending from an outermost end of the rim prevents access to the lip making the label hinge the only possible access point of the container. Any tampering to access the inside of the container would be made evident by a torn or missing label hinge.

  • Patent number: 7773455
    Abstract: Methods for generating a time lapse difference image. In one implementation, the method includes estimating a trace in a first seismic survey data set at each trace coordinate of a second seismic survey data set, estimating a trace in the second seismic survey data set at each trace coordinate of the first seismic survey data set and calculating trace differences between the first seismic survey data set and the second seismic survey data set at each trace coordinate of the first seismic survey data set and the second seismic survey data set.
