  • Patent number: 7597531
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of controlling a mover device The method includes generating a moving force from a moving force generating unit to move a processing base with respect to a movable base, thereby moving the processing base with respect to a fixed base as a result of the movement of the processing base with respect to the movable base; moving the movable base on the fixed base in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the processing base by virtue of a reaction force caused by the moving force generated from the moving force generating unit to move the processing base, so that the movable base moves in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the processing base on the fixed base. The method further includes controlling the moving velocity of the processing base with respect to the fixed base.

  • Patent number: 7575585
    Abstract: An intravascular obstruction removing wire includes an elongate wire body, at least two non-branched wire portions having distal ends and proximal ends which are connected to a distal end of the wire main body, and a plurality of filament portions extending across the wire portions. The non-branched wire portions and the filament portions form a trapping portion. The trapping portion is deformable from a large-diameter state in which the non-branched portions branch to the distal end of the wire body forward in different directions and the filament portions are separated from each other, so that a space surrounded by the non-branched wire portions and the filament portions is formed to trap therein an obstruction in a blood vessel, to a small-diameter state in which the non-branched wire portions are positioned so that a distance between the wire portions is smaller than that of the wire portions in the large-diameter state.
