Patent number: 9943245Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring an impedance of a tissue region inside a body of a patient. A first guidewire is advanced into a tissue region of a body of a patient, wherein the first guidewire comprises one or more electrodes electrically coupled to the tissue region. A second guidewire is advanced into the body, wherein the second guidewire comprises one or more electrodes electrically coupled to the tissue region of the body of the patient and spaced from the first guidewire. An error correction electrode is electrically coupled to the body. A voltage is applied across the first and the second guidewires. The impedance of the tissue region between the first and the second guidewires is measured while using an electrical pathway created by the error correction electrode.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Retrovascular, Inc.Inventors: Xiang Ian Gu, Paul J. Lingane, Wayne Ogata, Steven Meyer, Alireza Yavari

Patent number: 7485888Abstract: A multicolor particle analyzer and method is described. The particles each of which either naturally fluoresce or are tagged to fluoresce at distinctive wavelengths are caused to flow through an analyzing volume where fluorescence is excited by an impinging light beam. A tunable optical filter repetitively and sequentially passes emitted light at each of the characteristic wavelengths as each particle travels through the analyzing volume and the light transmitted through the optical filter is received by single detector which provides output signals representative of each distinct wavelength of light emitted by the particle.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2004Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Guava Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philippe Goix, Paul J.
