Publication number: 20240058124Abstract: Delivery devices and methods for delivering a prosthetic heart valve. The delivery device includes an inner shaft assembly with a valve retainer, an outer shaft assembly, a handle assembly and an axial force adjustment assembly. The outer shaft assembly includes a capsule containing the prosthetic valve in a loaded state. The handle assembly is coupled to a proximal region of the outer shaft assembly. The axial force adjustment assembly connects a proximal section of the inner shaft assembly to the handle assembly, and is configured to selectively move the proximal section relative to the handle assembly. The axial force adjustment assembly can include an actuator member and a driver member. The driver member directly interfaces with the inner shaft assembly, and a force applied to the actuator member is transferred onto the proximal section via the driver member. A sensor for sensing tension and/or compression in the inner shaft assembly can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Stephen Montgomery, Mark Ward

Publication number: 20130036365Abstract: The invention describes a system and methodology for controlling multiple devices simultaneously from one control device. The control device is provided with a display having a plurality of windows, each having a visual representation related to the activity of the multiple devices. By relaying commands effected at the control device through a intermediary server, it is possible to simultaneously effect a corresponding processing of the same commands at each of the multiple devices. On effecting a command the multiple devices relay back, through the server, an image representative of the result of the processing of that command to the control device for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2012Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: BRANDT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITEDInventors: Kieran Arthur, Mark Ward, Dermot Hannan

Patent number: 7467363Abstract: A method for verifying that a physical location of a memory matches a design logical representation, without having to use a focused ion beam to physically damage a memory location. The method provides that either a temporary or permanent circuit “defect” is intentionally created in the physical layout. Then, the new electrical schematic is extracted from the modified physical layout. Subsequently, if the design “defect” which was created is temporary, the new electrical schematic is simulated, the logical address of the “defect” is determined, and the extracted logical address is compared to the expected address to verify the logical to physical correlation. Alternatively, if the design “defect” which was created is permanent, after the new electrical schematic is extracted from the modified physical layout, the product is fabricated and the known design “defect” location is used to correlate to the electrically-tested defect logical location.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2005Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: David T. Price, Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer, Mark Ward

Publication number: 20070124628Abstract: Improved methods for verifying that a physical location of a memory matches a design logical representation, without having to use a focused ion beam to physically damage a memory location. A first method provides that EMMI is used to identify the physical location of a failing memory bit. A second method provides that a physical location is damaged with a laser, as is used to open hard wired fuses, and then the DUT is electrically tested and the memory built in self test (MEM BIST) repair is used to identify the logical address for the damaged region. A third method provides that a physical location is damaged using an electrical test on the ATE that causes an onboard fuse element in the memory arrays to be broken through the application of a high voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2005Publication date: May 31, 2007Inventors: David Price, Mark Ward, Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer

Publication number: 20070061637Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of fast bitmapping defective memory arrays in semiconductor integrated circuit dice formed on a wafer. The method involves loading a wafer onto automated test equipment. Initial production testing is then performed on each die of the wafer to determine whether the memory arrays of each die are functioning properly. Where a die is found to have at least one defective memory array, the particular memory arrays of the die that contain defect are specifically identified using BIST circuitry forming part of the die. Then selectively performed diagnostic testing is performed on only the failed memory arrays of each defective die to generate memory array defect data. The memory array defect data is used to generate bit maps of the failed memory arrays using the memory array data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2005Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventors: Mark Ward, Jeff Conder
