Publication number: 20210169358Abstract: A pressure sensor configured for biological pressure measurement at a distal end portion of an elongated member comprises a dissolvable hydrophilic material coated on a surface of the pressure sensor. A guide wire for biological pressure measurement may include a tube extending along a longitudinal axis of the guide wire; and a pressure sensor for biological pressure measurement, at least a portion of the pressure sensor being mounted within the tube. The pressure sensor comprises a pressure sensor membrane facing a top side of the tube. A circumferential wall of the tube includes at least six openings: a first distal opening, a second distal opening located on a right side of the tube, a third distal opening located on a left side of the tube, a first proximal opening, a second proximal opening located on a right side of the tube, and a third proximal opening located on a left side of the tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: June 10, 2021Applicant: ST.

Patent number: 9642700Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes annularly spaced commissure portions, each of which includes a tip. The stent is formed from a polymeric material, and is specifically configured to perform similarly to conventional metal stents. A first fabric covers each of the tips, and a second fabric covers the first fabric and remaining exposed portions of the stent. A first layer of tissue covers the second fabric, and a second layer of tissue overlies the second fabric. The second layer of tissue includes leaflet portions that extend inwardly between annularly adjacent ones of the commissure portions.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Sara Sundler, Andreas Temnell, Niklas Borg, Anna Norlin Weissenrieder

Patent number: 7003579Abstract: A procedure for control of data file transmission between transmitting and receiving units, at which examples of the data file to be transmitted/transferred are stored at a plurality of the transmitting units, and a device to effect this procedure. The control of the data file transmission is performed according to the following procedure. Transmission of segments of the wanted data file from a plurality of transmitting units is requested, and these segments are received from the transmitting units. When the transmission of a segment of the data file from a first server is finished, transmission of one more segment of the data file is requested, for which transmission from another server has started but not been finished, from the first server. This is after that repeated until all segments have been transmitted, at which transmissions in progress are stopped and the segments are put together to the wanted file.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2000Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Telia ABInventors: Joachim Johansson, Anders Bergsten, Niklas Borg
