Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a basket for a catheter designed to be deployed in complex vasculature to optimally treat vascular and arterial disease conditions such as blood clots, blood emboli, and deep vein thrombosis. The basket may comprise a shaft with a plurality of cuts along a portion of its length to form a plurality of tines that provide support for a plurality of porous tubes to form the limbs of the basket. The limbs of the basket expand radially away from the longitudinal axis of the basket when the longitudinal length of the basket is reduced. The limbs may also be connected to a drug delivery system, and in this manner, baskets of the present disclosure allow for the use of both mechanical and pharmaceutical means of thrombolysis.

Abstract: An infusion catheter has an elongate flexible shaft including a wall and a lumen extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The catheter also has a sealing member within the shaft lumen including a wall and a lumen. The catheter also has a slidable, retractable elongate central axis member extending through the shaft and sealing member lumens connected to an end cap. The catheter also has a plurality of eluting arms extending radially around the central axis member, including lumens fluidly connected to the shaft lumen and the distal end cap. A method for treating a thrombus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A centrifugal casting apparatus comprising an upper portion into which molten material is poured, the upper portion having a central rotational axis about which the apparatus is rotated; at least one block runner is connected to the upper portion at the proximal end of the block runner and to at least one mould at the distal end of the block runner, the block runner being mounted substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation; and wherein the moulds are oriented substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the centrifugal casting apparatus.

Abstract: A catalytic article for treating exhaust gas comprising: a substrate comprising an inlet end and an outlet end with an axial length L; a first catalytic region comprising a first platinum group metal (PGM) component and a support; a second catalytic region comprising a second PGM component on a support with low ammonia storage and a first SCR catalyst; and wherein the first catalytic region is covered by at least another catalytic region.

Abstract: The invention provides a child-resistant package (10) comprising an inner tray (100) defining a storage compartment (101) and an outer sleeve (200). The package has a locking system which releasably locks the inner tray (100) in the closed position by means of a locking (tab 150) which releasably engages a locking aperture (213) in the closed position. The package also has a stopping system which prevents further withdrawal of the inner tray (100) from the outer sleeve (200) in the open position by means of the same locking tab (150) engaging a stopping aperture (214) in the open position. The locking tab (150) forms part of both the locking system and the stopping system and the locking tab is involved in both functions.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing system and method for forming a part of dissimilar materials. The additive manufacturing system may include a build platform, a recoater for dispensing build powder onto the build platform, an energy source, a foil feed assembly, and a controller for controlling actuation of these components. The method of forming the part may include the steps of depositing a layer of build powder onto the build platform surface, melting selected portions of the layer of build powder, applying a sheet of foil over the layer of build powder, melting selected portions of the sheet of foil onto the layer of build powder, removing the sheet of foil from the layer of build powder, and then lowering the build platform surface to prepare for deposition of a next layer of the build powder. These steps are then repeated one or more times, thereby forming the part.

Abstract: An open-ended grinding mill (1) includes a drum (2) including a cylindrical shell (3), wherein the longitudinal axis (4) of the drum is arranged in a substantially horizontal position in a use position of the grinding mill (1). The drum (2) includes a first end (5) at the feed end of the shell and a second end (6) at the discharge end of the shell. The grinding mill further includes a bearing (8) supporting the drum at the second end, and a support structure (9) to connect the drum (2) to the bearing (8). The support structure is configured to provide a wall external to the shell, whereby the shell and the support structure provide a double-wall structure separating the bearing from the inside of the drum.
