  • Patent number: 10893808
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are configured to assess the severity of a blockage in a vessel and, in particular, a stenosis in a blood vessel. In some particular embodiments, the devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are configured to provide FFR measurements over a length of a vessel of interest in a small, compact device that integrates with existing proximal and distal pressure measurement systems and does not require a separate power source.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140180030
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to devices for determining pressure and flow in a vessel and methods for using such devices. The device can involve an elongate body configured for insertion into a vessel, a flow sensor positioned on the elongate body configured for detecting flow in the vessel, and a pressure sensor positioned on the elongate body configured for detecting pressure in the vessel, wherein the pressure sensor comprises an optical sensor.

  • Patent number: 5499012
    Abstract: An intrusion detector test circuit automatically disables a detected-event indicator from receiving sensing signals. A sensor generates a sensing signal in response to a detection of an installer testing the intrusion detector. An indictor means receives the sensing signals and generates detected-event indications in response to the sensing signals. A switch interposed between the sensor and the indicator receives the sensing signals. In a first state, the switch supplies the sensing signals to the indicator; in a second state, the switch means does not supply the sensing signals to the indicator. A first state setter sets the switch to the first state, and a second state setter automatically sets the switch to the second state after a lapse of a predetermined time period.
