Abstract: A celestial object locating device according to the present disclosure enables a user to unambiguously identify one or more stars or other celestial objects. The celestial object locating device may also direct a user to a desired celestial object or objects. The device may be useful for locating or identifying stars, constellations, and deep sky objects without knowing a users location or time of day. The celestial object locating device determines the angle between selected visible stars and compares these angles to angles between known stars to determine the location of all other stars. The device includes a 3-axis magnetic field sensor and a 3-axis gravitational field sensor that operate with a processor and an electronic database to perform the required calculations. The device's database may be updated using any suitable method such as flash drives, network connections or other.

Abstract: A method of treating the intraluminal disease in a coronary artery by injecting therapeutic agents perivascularly into the myocardium near the site of disease.

Abstract: A method of treating the heart and other body tissues by injecting a compound comprised of microsphere encapsulated macromolecule therapeutic agents into the myocardium, such that the microsphere size inhibits capillary transport of the compound but may permit lymphatic transport of the compound, and the compound releases therapeutic agents upon degradation of the microsphere. The compounds may be used in a method of treating the coronary arteries in which lymphatic transportable therapeutic agents are injected into the myocardium at a location distal to a target site in the coronary artery, after which they are taken up by the lymphatic vessels and transported proximally relative to the coronary artery, and migrate from the lymphatic vessel to the coronary blood vessel.

Abstract: A wire frame stent or occluding device for use within the vasculature. The device can be stretched into a double wire or single wire configuration for easy deployment into the vasculature.

Abstract: Cryocoolers for use in cryosurgery and other applications comprising finned tube helical coil heat exchangers and warming gas flow through a warming gas supply line fitted Joule-Thomson nozzle. The cryocoolers use helium, hydrogen or neon as a warming gas which is expanded from the Joule-Thomson nozzle to heat the probes.
