Patent number: 11931528Abstract: A catheter configured to dynamically compensate for the impact of internal and external forces that act upon the catheter during use is disclosed. The catheter may include sensors configured to measure received forces on control cables that extend within the catheter. A controller, coupled to the sensors, may record received force measurements associated with a working position of a distal end of the catheter. The controller may monitor subsequently received forces to identify force variances that may deflect the distal end of the catheter from its working position and may apply a driving force to one or more of the control cables to minimize the force variances. Monitoring received forces during use and applying compensating drive forces may reduce deflection of the distal end of the catheter, increasing the accuracy and precision of an annuloplasty procedure while minimizing potential damage to cardiac tissue.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: James P. Rohl, Aaron Abbott, Daniel Shuey, Joel T. Eggert, James K. Cawthra, Jr., Jay E. Daley, Christopher Nguyen

Patent number: 8867192Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor is constructed as a stacked structure of alternating anode and cathode plates. A clip is fitted over a peripheral portion of each cathode plate, the clips being welded together to electrically connect the cathode plates in common. The dimensions of the clips are such that the clips take up approximately the same space away from the edges of the cathode plates as the thickness of the anode plate on each side of a cathode plate when the anode and cathode plates are stacked upon one another.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Jay E.
