  • Publication number: 20240139472
    Abstract: A catheter may include an elongate body including a proximal portion including a proximal end, and a distal tip portion. The distal tip portion may include an inner liner and a marker band circumferentially surrounding the inner liner. The distal tip portion also may include an outer jacket circumferentially surrounding a first portion of the inner liner and ending proximal of a proximal end of the marker band; and a tip outer jacket circumferentially surrounding a second portion of the inner liner and the marker band. The tip outer jacket extends distally past the marker band distal end to a distal tip of the elongate body, and a proximal end of the tip outer jacket may be laterally adjacent to a distal end of the outer jacket.

  • Patent number: 10345478
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a multi-dimensional distribution function. First data and second data may be received in response to one or more radiofrequency pulses that are transmitted into a subterranean formation. The first data may include Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill data, and the second data may include diffusion editing data with initial echo spacings longer than subsequent echo spacings. The second data may be inverted. A multi-dimensional distribution function may be determined using the inverted second data.

  • Publication number: 20150277906
    Abstract: Embodiments for providing an arbitrary control flow architecture for an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, an arbitrary control flow instruction set defines control operations for generating an arbitrary waveform. A processor is arranged to execute the arbitrary control flow instruction set from data stored in a system memory to generate an arbitrary waveform. A system memory may include a low-latency memory and a high-latency memory, wherein a cache controller may use prediction mechanisms to reduce the latency of fetching instruction and waveform data by copying that data to the low-latency memory before it is requested.
