Publication number: 20220339409Abstract: A device and a method for shaping a wire used in medical procedures, such as a guidewire used in conjunction with catheters. The device includes a body having a working face, and the body includes a wire-shaping portion, the wire-shaping portion having an aperture defined therein which extends from the working face along an aperture axis. The apertures include a flared section and a tip receiving section connected to the flared section, where the tip receiving section is shaped and sized for receiving a tip of the wire therein and maintaining a position of the tip of the wire while a bending force is exerted on the wire towards the working face. In one embodiment, the wire-shaping portion has a mound-shaped portion projecting from the working face from which the aperture extends, which enables to curve the wire in a smooth shape that follows the mound-shaped portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Maude Laforest, Gholamreza Mirshekari, Louis-Philippe Riel, Gautier Halbin

Patent number: 10020758Abstract: A first closed enclosure defines a cavity having an inner dimension smaller than 5 mm. At least one second resiliently deformable closed enclosure is connected in fluid communication with the first enclosure. A fluid at more than 90% in the liquid state fills the first and second enclosures. A first portion of the first enclosure is in contact with a hot source of a temperature higher than the evaporation temperature of the fluid. A second portion of the first enclosure located between the first portion and the resiliently deformable closed enclosure is in contact with a cold source at a temperature lower than the condensation temperature of the fluid. An electromechanical transducer is coupled to a deformable membrane of the resiliently deformable closed enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignees: STMicroelectronics (Crolles 2) SAS, SOCPRA Sciences et Génie S.E.C.Inventors: Gholamreza Mirshekari, Etienne Leveille, Luc Guy Frechette, Stephane Monfray, Thomas Skotnicki

Publication number: 20140224019Abstract: The present disclosure relates to piezoelectric sensors and piezoelectric sensor arrays, to methods of manufacturing therefor, and to a method of measuring characteristics of a mechanical wave using a piezoelectric sensor array. A piezoelectric sensor is formed of a silicon substrate on which an electrical barrier is added. A patterned bottom electrode layer is added on top of the electrical barrier. A patterned bottom electrode layer is added on top of the electrical barrier. A piezoelectric layer and then a patterned top electrode layer are added on top of the electrical barrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2012Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: SOCPRA SCIENCES ET GENIE S.E.C.Inventors: Martin Brouillette, Gholamreza Mirshekari
