Patent number: 8864685Abstract: A wire guide includes a helically wound coil having a proximal end and a distal end. A mandrel is positioned within the helically wound coil and terminates before the distal end of the helically wound coil. First and second safety wires are positioned within the helically wound coil and have proximal ends attached to the mandrel and distal ends attached to the distal end of the helically wound coil. The first and second safety wires are positioned on opposite sides of a distal tip of the mandrel and have contact surfaces facing the distal tip of the mandrel that have a shape other than convex. The interaction between the mandrel tip and the safety wires during a percutaneous vascular procedure inhibit mandrel protrusion and the potential tissue damage associated therewith.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventors: Donald Patterson, Tamera Dees

Patent number: 8587330Abstract: A conductivity counter and method of determining conductivity of a fluid sample are disclosed. The counter is suitable for high-speed, accurate counting of discrete events or items, such as cancer cells, passing through a fluid sample cell. A variable frequency current source is used to supply an excitation current to a sample cell connected in parallel with an inductance or the electrical equivalence of an inductance. This configuration can be accurately modeled as a parallel RLC circuit when the system is operated at a stable frequency. The current source frequency is tuned to the resonance frequency of the equivalent RLC circuit, which effectively eliminates the capacitive and inductive components of the impedance, leaving only purely resistive components. The output signal is due to perturbations in the fluid sample, such as passing cancer cells.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2013Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University And Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeInventor: Donald A. Patterson
