Patent number: 8632557Abstract: The invention provides a rotational atherectomy system, device and method having, in various embodiments, a flexible, elongated, rotatable drive shaft with at least one eccentric abrading head attached thereto, wherein the abrading head comprises at least one groove thereon. The eccentric grooved abrading comprises a tissue removing surface—typically an abrasive surface and/or at least one groove. Preferably the eccentric enlarged abrading head has a center of mass spaced radially from the rotational axis of the drive shaft, facilitating the ability of the device to open the stenotic lesion to a diameter substantially larger than the outer diameter of the enlarged abrading head when operated at high speeds. The groove(s) provide improved efficacy in the abrasion of non-calcified and/or soft tissue as well as provide a means for breaking the hydraulic wedge between the abrading head and the stenotic tissue.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2009Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Thatcher, Paul A. Koehn, Joseph S. Czyscon

Patent number: 7668430Abstract: Telecommunications chassis and associated modules for use with the telecommunications chassis are disclosed. Embodiments of the telecommunications chassis include structures such as horizontal channels and/or horizontal surfaces with ridges and/or slots in one surface and slots in ridges of another for receiving edges of modules that mount within the chassis. Other structures of embodiments include divider slots in the horizontal surfaces that receive edges of divider walls to fix the divider walls in place, heat baffle surfaces included within the chassis, and/or cable guides with radius limiters. Module embodiments include structures such as faceplates with angled portions with fiber optic cable connections directed toward the fiber cable's direction of travel. Other module structures include shells that enclose the circuit board and/or provide angled portions with fiber optic cable connections.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2004Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Brian J. McClellan, Dale C. Madsen, Robin L. Berg, Jr., Joseph S. Czyscon, Steven W. Skradde, Derek G. Sayres, Todd Husom
