Abstract: A stent introducer apparatus includes a handle having a housing and a rotatable reel. An inner stent carrier having a proximal end and a distal end is provided, with the proximal end being connected to the housing of the handle. An outer sheath movably disposed about the inner stent carrier and having a proximal end and a distal end is provided, with the proximal end being connected to the reel of the handle. Rotation of the reel relative to the housing peels the outer sheath away from the inner stent carrier so as to move the outer sheath proximally relative to the inner stent carrier, thereby exposing the distal end of the inner stent carrier. The inner stent carrier has a stent carrying portion at its distal end to carry a stent that is deployed when the distal end of the inner stent carrier is exposed.

Abstract: A process for generation of electricity by means of electromagnetic induction, through a liquid-borne medium bearing magnetic material in powdered form. The present invention illustrating this process is comprised of bottom (b) and top (a) hollow hemispheres (one inch wall thickness), enclosing a coil-core assembly (FIG. 2) of metal and coiled wire, mounted on two equidistant notches (c) on the bottom hemisphere. Paraffin and powdered magnetite are solidified into place and the hemispheres mated with glue. The coil-core assembly is created from wire (h) wound on a manufactured metal piece (e) and fed through “tunnel holes” (f,g) drilled into the metal piece and leading outside the ends of the metal piece (h), out of the container housing. Wires from the coil-core assembly extrude and convey electricity, which is induced by a moving magnetic field formed by the boiling medium of magnetic material, when the invention is placed in an area of heat above approximately 360 degrees F.
