Abstract: An implant delivery system may have a pusher. The pusher may have an elongated shape. A distal end of the pusher may be configured to connect to an implant. The implant delivery system may have a tether connected to the pusher and to the implant. The implant delivery system may have a heating element mounted over the tether biased to contract a first surface of the heating element towards a second surface of the pusher. The implant delivery system may have an expander disposed between the first surface of the heating element and the second surface of the pusher. The expander may be configured to melt, allowing the first surface to contact the second surface, upon activation of the heating element.

Abstract: A information processing system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: identify, when a discount condition is satisfied in a case where two or more unregistered products and one or more registered products that were registered by an operation by a customer using a portable terminal are purchased in a set, a combination of the unregistered products including the two or more unregistered products; and notify the portable terminal of the identified combination of the unregistered products.

Abstract: A system and method of delivering and detaching an implant within a body of a patient is described. A tether connects an implant with a delivery device. The delivery device includes a heater coil through which the tether passes. The inner diameter of the heater coil is about the same size or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tether, allowing the tether to more efficiently break the tether during delivery.

Abstract: The present specification discloses improved liquid embolic compositions, methods of making such liquid embolic compositions, and methods and uses for such liquid embolic compositions.

Abstract: A charging control method includes setting at least a first threshold value and a second threshold value larger than the first threshold value as threshold values with respect to a remaining capacity of a storage battery unit included in each of a plurality of work devices. The method includes outputting, in a first state where the remaining capacity of the storage battery unit included in a work device designated as a target of control is equal to or greater than the first threshold value but less than the second threshold value, a charging start instruction to the work device when a predetermined decision condition is satisfied. The method further includes outputting, in a second state where the remaining capacity of the storage battery unit is less than the first threshold value, the charging start instruction to the work device, no matter whether the condition is satisfied or not.

Abstract: An expansile member that may be used on a delivery device or may be used for occlusive purposes within the vasculature.

Abstract: A catheter with one or more heated or detachable sections is described. The catheter may be useful for liquid embolic delivery, where the heated or detachable sections may help free the catheter when stuck to liquid embolic during delivery. An instrumented catheter is also described.

Abstract: A mover control system according to an embodiment includes a controller, a node generator, and a path generator. The controller controls a mover traveling within a predetermined area. The node generator generates a pair of specified nodes at respective arbitrary locations on a map corresponding to the predetermined area. The pair of specified nodes are nodes where the mover is controllable. The path generator generates a path between the pair of specified nodes. The controller makes the mover travel along a traveling route corresponding to the path within the predetermined area.

Abstract: An electric conduction structure for conducting and diverting electric current from a vane main body of an cutlet guide vane into en exterior support structure is comprised of: a sheath of a metal covering a leading edge of the vane main body; and an electrically conductive pad of the metal comprising a contact portion so dimensioned as to have an overlap with an end of the sheath, and a washer portion into which a bolt for being tightened into the support structure is insertable, wherein any joints of a weld, a spot-weld, a solder, a bond by an electrically conductive paste and a crimp establish connection between the end of the sheath and the contact portion.

Abstract: An embolic coil which can be used for occlusive purposes in the vasculature is described. A mandrel for manufacturing a coiled structure, and method/process for manufacturing a coiled structure is described.

Abstract: A blank sheet including a plurality of main fibers arranged in parallel with each other, auxiliary fibers and a resin that consolidates the fibers is heated to a temperature at which the resin softens, and then pressed against a fan blade mold with the direction of the main fibers aligned with the longitudinal direction of the fan blade mold. The fan blade mold is shaped so that the length thereof in the longitudinal direction along the surface of a center part thereof in the width direction is shorter than the length thereof in the longitudinal direction along the surface of end parts thereof in the width direction. When the blank sheet is pressed against the fan blade mold, a center part in the width direction of the blank sheet at an end part in the longitudinal direction is pulled with a greater force than end parts in the width direction of the blank sheet at the end part in the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing occurrence of wrinkling.

Abstract: The ventilation pipe 60 having the openings at both the ceiling side and the bottom side is provided in the area where the rectification boards 50a to 50f are arranged, thereby nitrogen released from water (nitrogen released from water based on that gas dissolved in water is substituted by oxygen) can be moved to the ceiling side of the retainer body through the ventilation pipe 60. Thereby, nitrogen can be effectively exhausted from the exhaust opening 30a, thus it can be restrained that nitrogen is accumulated in the retainer body 10. Accordingly, it can be restrained that oxygen concentration (partial pressure) in the retainer body 10 decreases. Since oxygen quantity dissolved in water is increased, gas dissolved in water can be effectively substituted.
