  • Patent number: 9433752
    Abstract: A catheter has a deflection beam with rectangular cross-section and a single continuous puller wire for predictable on-plane bi-directional deflection. The puller wire extends through spacers on opposite sides of the beam so the puller wire is maintained a predetermined separation distance from the beam surface. Tubular structures of the catheter body and the deflectable section are fused at a joint by C-shaped brackets mounted opposite surface of the beam to form a hollow body with holes into which thermoplastic materials covering the catheter body and the deflectable section can melt to form interlocking nodes. Elongated beam stiffeners can be mounted on the beam to provide different curve and deflection geometries.

  • Publication number: 20160243335
    Abstract: A catheter has a distal assembly with at least one loop, if not two, with ring electrodes. The distal assembly has an elongated support member covered by an extruded form having two lumens, one sized for nonslip tight fit with the support member. A single continuous puller wire for bidirectional deflection is pre-bent into two long portions and a U-shape bend therebetween. The U-shape bend is anchored at a distal end of a deflectable section which is reinforced by at least one washer having at least two holes, each hole axially aligned with a respective lumen in the deflectable section. Each hole is centered with a lumen so that each puller wire portion therethrough is straight and subjected to tensile force only. A proximal end of the support member is flattened and serrated to provide a better bonding to the distal end of the deflectable section.

  • Patent number: 9290563
    Abstract: This invention relates to the modification of the amino acid sequence of an immunoglobulin molecule at certain key positions within regions of the VH and VL FR and CDR3 domains and/or the CH1 domain which are prone to aggregation. Immunoglobulins modified as described may display improved manufacturability, for example, reduced aggregation propensity and/or increased production levels.

  • Publication number: 20160017467
    Abstract: A cold-rolled flat steel product for deep drawing applications is disclosed, composed of a steel which, in addition to Fe and unavoidable impurities (in % by weight) contains C: 0.008%-0.1%, Al: 6.5%-12%, Nb: 0.1%-0.2%, Ti: 0.15-0.5%, P: <0.1%, S: <0.03%, N: <0.1% and optionally one or more elements from the group of “Mn, Si, REM, Mo, Cr, Zr, V, W, Co, Ni, B, Cu, Ca, N”, provided that Mn: <1%, REM: <0.2%, Si: <2%, Zr: <1%, V: <1%, W: <1%, Mo: <1%, Cr: <3%, Co: <1%, Ni: <2%, B: <0.1%, Cu: <3%, Ca: <0.015%. The ratio is 2.5 ?% Ti/% Nb ?1.5, %Ti=Ti content and % Nb=Nb content. For production of such a flat steel product, a steel of appropriate composition is cast to give a pre-product, which is then hot-rolled to hot strip at a hot rolling end temperature of 820-1000° C. The latter is subsequently wound at a winding temperature of up to 750° C., after winding annealed at an annealing temperature of >650-1200° C.

  • Publication number: 20140221920
    Abstract: A catheter has a metal deflection beam with rectangular cross-section and one or two fiber puller members for predictable on-plane bi-directional deflection. Each fiber puller member is anchored at its distal end to a respective surface of the beam by a metal ferrule that is crimped onto the distal end. The ferrule is shaped to provide a flat outer underside that can lie flat against a beam surface and a thin planar distal section that is welded to the beam. With a distal end of the beam sandwiched between the thin planar distal section of two ferrules, the ferrules and the beam can be welded together by a single laser pulse.

  • Patent number: 8122066
    Abstract: A query profiling system and associated operating methods implement a database query profiler. The illustrative database system comprises a parser, a query model, a catalog manager, a binder and view rewriter, and a query analyzer. The parser parses statements by checking syntax of a statement according to a structured query language (SQL) grammar and representing the statements in a syntax-oriented internal format. The catalog manager processes data definition SQL statements (DDL) that are transformed to the internal representation; transform the representations of the DDL to database objects abstractions; groups the database objects into a Catalog. The binder and view rewriter take the internal representations obtained by parsing workload queries (data manipulation SQL statements or DML) and rewrite table references by their corresponding View definitions; bind database object references to their actual database objects contained in the catalog.
