  • Patent number: 9459307
    Abstract: An in-circuit testing auto open and close system, apparatus and method includes an in-circuit tester having an upper panel and a lower panel, wherein the upper and lower panels are used to test electrical connections of one or more electronic units. One or more actuators are each coupled to both the upper panel and the lower panel such that they are able to move the upper and lower panels with respect to each other. As a result, a controller coupled with the in-circuit tester and the actuators is able to cause the actuators to automatically close the panels such that the panels sandwich the electronic units at the beginning of a testing program and to automatically open the panels such that the panels are separated at the end of the testing program.

  • Patent number: 7229402
    Abstract: The present invention is a cardiac-assist device and technique used to maintain a patient's cardiac output when normal cardiac output is insufficient. Blood is removed from a selected ventricle using an arterial or venous side approach. The use of a right side approach reduces the amount of work required and reduces the number of foreign objects present within the left side of the heart and associated blood transferring conduits. The device of the invention includes a flexible catheter positionable within the patient's body. An external assist mechanism connected to one end of the flexible catheter receives blood from the arterial circulation and includes a pumping membrane. A flexible cannula is connected for reinfusing blood. A control console is provided for alternately supplying vacuum and pressure to the pumping membrane. A synchronizing means varies inflation and deflation in synchrony with the cardiac cycle of a patient.

  • Publication number: 20040034272
    Abstract: The present invention is a cardiac-assist device and technique used to assist in maintaining a patient's cardiac output when normal cardiac output is insufficient. The techniques of the invention allow the removal of blood directly or indirectly from a selected ventricle using an arterial or venous side approach. The use of a right side approach reduces the amount of work required and reduces the number of foreign objects present within the left side of heart as well as within the associated blood transferring conduits. The device of the invention includes a flexible catheter having a length, an open interior, an exposed proximate end and a distal end positionable within the patient's body. An external, supplemental assist mechanism is connected to one end of the flexible catheter. This mechanism receives blood from the arterial circulation and includes an internal pumping membrane.
