Publication number: 20180206914Abstract: A catheter has a distal assembly with at least one loop with ring electrodes. A single continuous puller wire for bidirectional deflection is pre-bent into two long portions and a U-shape bend therebetween. The U-shape bend is anchored at a distal end of a deflectable section which is reinforced by at least one washer having at least two holes, each hole axially aligned with a respective lumen in the deflectable section. Each hole is centered with a lumen so that each puller wire portion therethrough is straight and subjected to tensile force only. A proximal end of the support member is flattened and serrated to provide a better bonding to the distal end of the deflectable section.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Julie BUI, Oscar GALVAN, Jose JIMENEZ, Thanh NGUYEN, Ricardo PADILLA, Thomas V.

Patent number: 9974927Abstract: A catheter has a deflection beam with rectangular cross-section and a single continuous puller wire for predictable on-plane bi-directional deflection. The puller wire extends through spacers on opposite sides of the beam so the puller wire is maintained a predetermined separation distance from the beam surface. Tubular structures of the catheter body and the deflectable section are fused at a joint by C-shaped brackets mounted opposite surface of the beam to form a hollow body with holes into which thermoplastic materials covering the catheter body and the deflectable section can melt to form interlocking nodes. Elongated beam stiffeners can be mounted on the beam to provide different curve and deflection geometries.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: BIOSENSE WEBSTER (ISRAEL) LTD.Inventors: Jose Jimenez, Ricardo Padilla, Thomas V.

Patent number: 9918791Abstract: A catheter has a distal assembly with at least one loop, if not two, with ring electrodes. The distal assembly has an elongated support member covered by an extruded form having two lumens, one sized for nonslip tight fit with the support member. A single continuous puller wire for bidirectional deflection is pre-bent into two long portions and a U-shape bend therebetween. The U-shape bend is anchored at a distal end of a deflectable section which is reinforced by at least one washer having at least two holes, each hole axially aligned with a respective lumen in the deflectable section. Each hole is centered with a lumen so that each puller wire portion therethrough is straight and subjected to tensile force only.

Publication number: 20170253338Abstract: A fragrance dispensing system for an aircraft that includes a fuselage defining a cabin interior and an environmental control system (ECS). The ECS includes a source of air that moves air between the source of air and the cabin interior along an airflow path, a mixer unit in airflow communication with the source of air and positioned downstream from the source of air in the airflow path, at least a first air duct positioned in the airflow path between the mixer unit and the cabin interior, and a fragrance dispensing unit positioned between the air source and the cabin interior along the airflow path. The fragrance dispensing unit is configured to dispense at least a first fragrance into the airflow path.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2017Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Emmanuel Fantuzzi, Ricardo Padilla, JR., Romain Ducos, Ritu Raj Kamal, Salar Atabaki

Publication number: 20080098257Abstract: A multiple execution-path flash system includes a main flash image with primary and secondary POST and Boot executable files. The secondary executables are offset from the primary executables by a predetermined offset address. If corrupted data is encountered during Boot, the exception handler sets an offset bit resulting in the predetermined offset address being added to the current instruction address. If corrupted data is encountered in the secondary executables, the offset bit is reset. An optional redundant flash image may also be used. A failure at the same relative address in the primary and secondary executables of the main flash image will cause the exception handler to transfer control to the redundant flash image. A subsequent failure at the same relative address in the primary and secondary executables of the redundant flash image will cause the redundant exception handler to transfer control back to the main flash image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: Stephen Blinick, Charles Cardinell, Ricardo Padilla

Publication number: 20060248107Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for updating software components while preserving data associated with the software and optionally converting the data to a new format. Persistent memory is used to preserve data structures associated with software components during the software update process, which may be accomplished by save and restore functions intrinsic to the software component being updated. The present invention includes, in one embodiment, a persistent data registry used to register each data structure saved in persistent memory during a software update. A data structure information record may be used to register each data structure in the persistent data registry. The present invention incorporates individual conversion of each data structure to facilitate adding, deleting, or modifying data structures during the software update process to accommodate the requirements of the updated software.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventors: Juan Coronado, Angelica Hemme, Bret Holley, Ricardo Padilla

Publication number: 20060150030Abstract: An error handling method is provided for processing adapter errors. Rather than executing a disruptive controller hardware reset, an error handling routine provides instructions for a reset operation to be loaded and executed from cache while the SDRAM is in self-refresh mode and therefore unusable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2005Publication date: July 6, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines (IBM) CorporationInventors: Lucien Mirabeau, Charles Cardinell, Man Ma, Ricardo Padilla

Publication number: 20060149952Abstract: In one embodiment, a first processor of a multiprocessor system, encounters an exception and jumps to exception handler code at an architecture-defined exception vector. The processor is directed to a data structure which provides a programmable exception vector to additional exception handler code. This additional code may be executed as if it were located at the architecture-defined exception vector. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Stephen Blinick, Ricardo Padilla
