Abstract: A clot retrieval device (9501) for removing clot from a blood vessel comprises an inner elongate body (9503) and an outer elongate body (9504) at least partially overlying the inner elongate body (9503). The device also comprises an elongate member or shaft (9502) having a proximal end which extends exterior of a patient so that a user can retrieve the stent-basket device and captured clot by retracting the shaft (9502). The outer elongate body (9504) and the inner elongate body (9503) are connected to the distal end of the shaft (9502) and are expandable relative to the shaft (9502) from a collapsed delivery configuration to an expanded deployed configuration. The outer elongate body (9504) is expandable relative to the inner elongate body (9503) to a radial extent which is greater than the radial extent of the inner body (9503) in the deployed configuration.

Abstract: A system and method for the distribution of individualized multimedia content over a network to a number of recipients. The system assembles a message containing multimedia content which is extracted from a media content repository in response to information about the intended recipient. The multimedia content is thereby individualized for the particular recipient; for example an individualized audio greeting containing with audio annunciation of the recipient's name within multimedia message. Multimedia elements may be variously combined within an individualized message containing audio, graphics, text, animations, video, and/or ecommerce/transaction primitives. The system provides the ability to develop and manage the multimedia content repository, control the distribution of the individualized multimedia content, and report on system activity.

Abstract: A conveyor ratcheting apparatus for advancing a conveyor in one direction in discrete steps. A ratchet arm is pivotally supported on a frame. A ratchet actuator drives the arm reciprocally between first and second positions. A ratchet wheel is rotatably supported on the frame. Circumferentially spaced teeth are formed around an outer rim of the ratchet wheel. The ratchet arm sequentially engages each of the teeth and causes the ratchet wheel to rotate in one direction each time the ratchet arm engages one of the teeth and moves toward the second position from the first position. The ratchet arm disengages whenever the ratchet arm moves from the second position back toward the first position. A detent engagement member is supported on the frame and is moveable into engagement with one of four stop detents in the ratchet wheel when the first ratchet arm is in the second position.

Abstract: An indexing drive has an actuator which reciprocates a ratchet arm along an arcuate path to cause an indexed rotation of rollers during one direction of movement of the ratchet arm which bear on a follower to produce an associated indexed rotation of the follower which may be communicated with a drive mechanism of apparatus to provide an indexed movement of the apparatus. Desirably, when the follower is not being rotated by the rollers, it is restrained from rotation in either direction to prevent movement of the drive mechanism to which it is connected and hence, to prevent movement of the apparatus associated with the drive mechanism.
