Abstract: A lithotripsy device for tunneling through vascular occlusions comprises a tunneling catheter including a tunneling catheter shaft having a distal end and a proximal end. A tunneling probe is disposed on the distal end of the tunneling catheter shaft. The tunneling probe has a pair of electrodes; each electrode being operatively connected to an electrical lead within the tunneling catheter shaft. The leads are configured for operative connection to an external pulse generator. Activation of an external pulse generator operatively connected to the leads causes repeated electrical discharges between the electrodes. When the electrodes are an in a fluid, the repeated electrical discharges produce repeated hydraulic shock waves in the fluid directed away from the electrical discharges. When the repeated hydraulic shock waves strike calcified tissue, the calcified tissue is broken into a modified plaque. The modified plaque has a lower resistance to mechanical dislocation that the original calcified tissue.

Abstract: A combination washer and dryer laundry appliance for use in a recreational vehicle includes a recreational vehicle mode for operation of laundry profiles. The appliance determines when the vehicle is in motion by monitoring movement of the appliance using on-board sensors or a motion detection feature of an consumer device. When motion is detected, the appliance implements a predetermined responsive action to modify certain standard laundry profiles until the vehicle is stopped. The responsive action may include modification to cycles within the laundry profile during motion of the appliance, or the laundry operation may be suspended.
