  • Publication number: 20160100849
    Abstract: Methods for restoring blood flow in occluded blood vessels using an apparatus having a self-expandable distal segment that is pre-formed to assume a superimposed structure in an unconstrained condition but can be made to take on a volume-reduced form making it possible to introduce it with a microcatheter and a push wire arranged at the proximal end, with the distal segment in its superimposed structure assuming the form of a longitudinally open tube and having a mesh structure of interconnected strings or filaments or struts. In a preferred embodiment, the distal segment has a tapering structure at its proximal end where the strings or filaments or struts converge at a connection point.

  • Patent number: 9135472
    Abstract: Processor system with a general purpose processor and a cryptographic processor dedicated to performing cryptographic operations and enforcing the security of critical security parameters. The cryptographic processor prevents exposure of critical security parameters outside the cryptographic processor itself, and instead implements a limited scripting engine, which can be used by the general purpose processor to execute operations that require the critical security parameters.

  • Patent number: 9114302
    Abstract: A golf swing training device communicates a deviation from a proper golf swing path. The golf swing training device includes a two stands each having a stand adjustment scale attached to a light detector, a light source and a stand base. An upper beam is created by aligning the upper light detector with the upper light source. A lower beam is created by aligning the lower light detector with the lower light source. The proper golf swing path involves swinging a golf club on a back swing outside the lower beam and inside the upper beam, on a down swing inside the upper beam and outside the lower beam and on the follow through, outside the lower beam and inside the upper beam. The deviation from the proper golf swing path is communicated to a user.

  • Publication number: 20150165130
    Abstract: The drive mechanism for a drug delivery device comprises a piston rod, which is displaced in a distal direction for a delivery of a dose and in a proximal direction for a reset, and a rotatable drive member, which is threadedly engaged with the piston rod and rotates during the delivery of the dose. A biasing member is provided, which is loaded by the rotation of the drive member during the delivery of the dose and tends to rotate the piston rod with respect to the drive member in such a way that the piston rod is screwed into the drive member and is thereby advanced in the proximal direction. The drug delivery device is provided with such a drive mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20150088079
    Abstract: The drive mechanism for a drug delivery device comprises a piston rod, which is displaced in a distal direction for a delivery of a dose and in a proximal direction for a reset, and a resilient member, which acts on the piston rod during a reset and tends to restrict the movement of the piston rod in the proximal direction. The resilient member may be a biasing member provided for an automatic reset, a compression spring entering the piston rod or a torsion spring provided to generate a rotation. The drug delivery device is provided with such a drive mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20150079676
    Abstract: A system for separating motile and non-motile sperm comprises a microvolume into which a fluid containing sperm is delivered, at least partly defined by a wall which includes a termination or a change in angle away from the microvolume, defining an exit from the microvolume. Sperm delivered into the microvolume in a fluid that are motile move entrained along the wall and leave the wall at the termination with an outward turn to or towards a collection reservoir or passage from the microvolume. Typically the system is implemented on a microfluidic chip.
